Stop saying Jax has intrusive thoughts. The show does not communicate this at all, and he literally acts out his so called "intrusive thoughts". He's violent both on screen and off. He blackmails Gangle with whatever she did with a figurine, information he got by breaking into her room, and also brings it up to degrade an embarress her in front of the others. Sorry not sorry, but I'd argue he's is committing some sort of sex crime here. Thus those moments in his mindscape are not intrusive thoughts?!?! Now, could he have impulsive thoughts? Maybe, but he most certainly does not have intrusive thoughts.

[matchlocks]

i'm a person who actually has severe obsessive compulsive disorder and intrusive thoughts that stem from the disorder, and from what i can see, jax does NOT have intrusive thoughts at all. intrusive thoughts are supposed to be ego dystonic, meaning they conflict with your personal morals and values. anyone who actually suffers from ocd does NOT WANT TO ACT ON THESE THOUGHTS. BECAUSE THEY ARE INTRUSIVE. meanwhile, jax seems perfectly content to act on his evil thoughts throughout the series.

if jax actually had intrusive thoughts about harming women, he wouldn't actually be harming women in the circus, and instead would be ruminating over harming women and doing compulsions in an attempt to stop the thoughts about harming women from even existing in his mind. there are plenty of people with ocd who suffer with harm and misogyny themes. i've met them! it can be incredibly damaging to your psyche to deal with a constant barrage of intrusive violent misogynistic imagery in your brain that you can't control, and often times you can't even talk to other people about it because the thoughts are so disturbing, and people without any understanding of the disorder might think you're evil for having the thoughts

i think that this misuse of language used to describe symptoms of a mental illness is genuinely harmful. if everyone has intrusive thoughts, if 'intrusive thoughts' is watered down to mean funnygoofy randomly weird thoughts, or even, disturbingly, your own violent bigoted impulses that you enjoy, what language do people with ocd have to describe their experiences? i for certain don't want to be lumped in with actual misogynists who enjoy harming women, what the fuck!

it pisses me off when people use the term 'intrusive thoughts' so flippantly because it just erases the real experiences and suffering of people who actually have this often life-ruining mental disorder

The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden’s Surveillance Machine

Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly

reading an article about the guy who owns the Knicks and Madison Square Garden and they used facial recognition to track every move of a trans Knicks fan to try to make sure she didn't end up on game broadcasts and eventually just banned her from the arena.

Putting this here too idgaf

Text: Some of y'all non-black people genuinely believe that the actions of a black person forces you to be racist towards the black community and what's funny about that is then y'all love to go claim we have a victim mentality but get mad when we call out your bullshit.

last week i said "JFK DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF" in a conversation about conspiracy theories and no one knew what i was referencing and probably thought i was stupid as fuck #whatever

[creatingblackcharacters]

So what REALLY got me was how Google was NOT trying to show me anything when I went to look this up. Why y'all don't want me to see all the "fun" everyone's having?? I wanna see the "destressing" everyone's getting!

Between the child abuse connected with this doll, the defending nigga jokes, the lynched Black children, and everything else right, we aren't just sliding, we're whole ass moonwalking back into Jim Crow but globally, huh 😭 antiblackness as entertainment has never left huh

Some romans: why the fuck are you building the cross all wiggly like that

I like in rpgs where if you don’t romance two of the characters they start romancing each other instead. You think you’re the only fish in the sea

[queer-scots-geordie-dyke]

Why is it when a person of colour commits a violent crime against a white person it somehow becomes a condemnation of their entire race or ethnic group, and a sign that immigration is out of control, and that certain groups can never integrate into "our" way of life or what the fuck ever? And the Farage fuckers with the IQ of a teaspoon are out having themselves a little riot for the sake of it.

But when a white person commits a violent crime against a person of colour, suddenly people understand the concept of not assigning collective responsibility to an entire group of people for the actions of one. Suddenly, there's calls for "calm" and "understanding."

Why is that, I wonder? 🤔

Just kidding, I know why.

Michaela Joffe (joffeorama.bsky.social‬):

I know that fascist attacks on "obscenity" and "pornography" are a very dangerous threat to queer people and art, but the idea that all expressions of all kinks must be treated as default value neutral, or even good, as a result is absurd. porn is art, and so it is open to criticism.

you cannot have it both ways. if porn, kink and obscenity is worth protecting, and I believe they are, that means you can't whine and cry foul when it is criticized and analyzed. your desires, like everything else, exist in larger contexts, and sometimes they are homophobic, misogynist and racist.

the idea that all expressions of human desire are equivalent, and exist free from any larger historical, cultural, artistic or interpersonal contexts… that is absurd. why would desire alone be unique in that way? why would kink be different from every other human expression? ridiculous.

I am not swayed by accusations of "puritanism" made in defense of straight men's corrective rape fantasies or white peoples' racist roleplay. I do not believe such accusations come from a sincere desire to protect filth, a noble pursuit, but from a childish fear of judgement. from discomfort.

There aren't words for how insidiously disgusting and blatant this is. (Link)

these are getting weird

Dare I say it, Planned Parenthood is the only one I've seen that managed to do this weird trend without bastardizing AAVE 🤣 I don't know if they quite understood the assignment, but they used "locked in" correctly and didn't call it "Gen Z Slang" on the right so... All right, then! 🍾

actually pigs shouldn't be at pride even outside of uniform. fuck those guys

[bebsi-cola]

if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig

[pekkhum]

I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.

The sexuality of a police officer is cop.

The gender of a police officer is cop.

When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.

If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.

Die temu ad die

[necromancelena]

Hmm. Accidentally looks like latin.

[chef-boy-ar-girl]

It accidentally is latin

[saanah]

Accidental latin is my new favourite thing.

[santapau]

Found this in the margins of a medieval manuscript.

[qqueenofhades]

This is a very charming illustration and I do approve of Accidental Latin, but unfortunately, that is not what this (Fake) Accidental Latin actually says. Google Translate seems to think "temu" is identical to "timor" (infinitive, "to fear"), which would then be conjugated in first-person singular as "timeo" ("I fear"). "Temu" is not a word in Latin. So that is a very weird leap on Google Translate's part to turn gibberish into... something vaguely etymologically similar sounding? Hmm.

Next, "die" does mean "day," though nominative singular is "dies," i.e. "dies irae." It could be conjugated "die" if it was in ablative or locative case, but "die ad die" would mean something more like "day to day." "Ad" is in a "to" direction and "ab" is from, i.e. "ab urbis," and ablative case is used to indicate the movement of a thing. In short, "by" is not really a way to translate "ad"; we might want "per" here? (Through, by means of, etc.)

Not to mention, it would be weird to put one "die" at the start and another at the end The verb also usually goes at the end in Latin sentences, just for that extra bit of fun. So yes, in short, this is not actually Latin, and Google Translate is very bad at Latin in particular. Nonetheless, still charming.

@theshitpostcalligrapher

[sekkitsune]

Agree, @qqueenofhades, except on the matter of breaking “die ad die” apart. It’s a common structure in poetic and oratorical Latin to jam one phrase in the middle of another. I can’t think of an example exactly parallel to this construction, but I could believe a Roman poet would write it!

[qqueenofhades]

Ah, that is true. My Latin is of the reading-medieval-documents (particularly charters and/or chronicles) variety, where the sentence and usage structures are often more formulaic and there is less poetic license to move words around. There is obviously far less fixity for word order in Latin, since the conjugations explain how they grammatically relate to each other rather than placement in the sentence. (Coincidentally, this is why I used to say that the best feeling in the world was walking past a Latin classroom and not having to go inside it. Ahem.)

So yes: true that poetical Latin might be more at liberty to split the "die"-s up that far, though "timeo" (verb) is still more likely in most cases to go at the end, which would place them together anyway ("die ad die timeo," "day to day I fear" if translated in strict word order, which would make sense to an English speaker and sound more poetic anyway). Keep in mind, however, that my Latin is a) fairly rusty and b) mostly used for said formulaic legal document reading rather than freeform verse, so don't super-hard quote me on this.

[sekkitsune]

I saw that ablative “die” and that final -u on “temu” and thought of the ablative supine (as in “mirabile dictu”) but as you observe, there isn’t a verb that “temu” could be, and then also, the ablative supine requires an adjective, as far as I know.

But perhaps “temu” is a hapax legomenon (in which case we would need the rest of the text to gloss it) or a scribal error for temeratu, from temero, “I defile or disgrace”. In that case, and in true Tumblr form, I might translate it as “daily I disgrace, in the manner of the day”, with some errors attributable to the scribe.

[qqueenofhades]

....oh my god. You might be a genius. Because what else does Tumblr do but daily disgrace [itself, oneself, and/or numerous others] in the manner of the day, and make numerous scribal errors.

[laurenthemself]

how dare you say we error on the scribes

[jtimu]

this is what happens when you buy your latin on temu
