Meetra Surik is the top student in her cohort at the elite Dantooine Academy— with the exception of her best friend and roommate, Nova. Then again, Nova is the exception to a lot of things.

my beloved mother briefly fell for the RFK hype a couple years ago before realizing he was a complete nutbag, and from this has concluded that she needs to be a lot more judicious about which politicians she gets excited about. consequently she has observed the campaign of Talarico, who might as well have been designed in a lab to appeal to her specifically, with this attitude:
They could never make me hate you, complex female character whose reaction to trauma was not pretty and digestible like how people think it should be.
I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.
He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense
Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.
My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.
Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.
He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM
I apologize for being late posting this celebration of Robert Smalls Day, May 13th being 164th anniversary of Robert Smalls stealing the The Planter and sailing it, with its guns and his family and the family of his crew into Union held territory, becoming legally a free man.
But what is often important to me about Robert Smalls is that after his heroic and thrilling heist, after saving the lives and futures of over a dozen people, he could have just kept going. He could have gone to Europe and lived safe and peaceful and famous forever. But he went back. The first thing he did was ask to go back. He wasn’t ever given the appropriate rank or pay or respect, but he captained US army ships back and put his own life at risk, again, to liberate South Carolina. Then he stayed! He became a congressman. He founded the South Carolina Republican Party and made South Carolina the first US state with universal compulsory public education. Like so many of history’s great revolutionaries Robert Smalls spent his life in selfless service to the nation that gave him nothing and created, at great personal peril, a brighter, more prosperous South Carolina because he believed it was right to do so.
how do i say "horror novels these days are too woke" without sounding like a right winger. what i mean is: this one is about a woman serial killer who kills Bad Men, that one is about ~anticapitalist activists~, this one is ~queer~, that one is about *spins wheel* someone dealing with the ghosts of their immigrant roots, all of them are about intergenerational traumaaaaa. okay. cool. but is it good though. is it fucking scary
something something, losing the ability to convey horror through abstraction, through metaphor, through symbolism, through allegory, through raw unexamined un-psychiatrized feeling. if the real horror is.... dun dun dun! the patriarchy then i just feel preached to. don't use fiction as a vehicle for Saying Something About Society. write with total vulnerability and then see what it says. it will be probably be far more interesting and horrifying than what if the monster was uhh my mom's abuse or whatever. this brand of new horror writers are all so terrified of actually disclosing anything about themselves. it's like if an instagram infographic performance was a mediocre contemporary novel
YOU ARE MAKING THE TEXT DO THE WORK OF ANALYSIS!!!!!!!

Person on screen: needs a couple pats of butter, a splash of olive oil, simmered on low with a bay leaf and a cinnamon stick. What?! You never seen a boy who knows his way around the kitchen?
Yeah my mom always wanted a little girl but she got stuck with me instead. That wasn’t gonna stop her though so all my friends were opening up nerf guns and bmx bikes on their birthday, I was getting crockpots.
(scene changes to the person dressed in a nice black suit jacket, bright pink dress shirt, and black tie) Yeah laugh it up! Take a picture while you’re at it 'cause this is the last time you’ll ever see me in a suit! How do boys wear these things??
(scene changes to the person dressed in the same shirt and tie with no jacket and the shirt cuffs unbuttoned and rolled up, with purple nail polish on their nails) No, I don’t know how to fight. I was only ever taught how to deescalate situations with healthy communication and emotional validation.
taylor swift is a tyrant for real like value neutral judgement but you can tell in her music the specific point that caligula started visiting her in dreams
she has this 3d-printed mini desk recreation of the bust of caligula with whom she communicates daily and in order to evade football’s suspicions she told him it was jesus and he was like Niiice jesus is actually awesomesauce ❤️ Like jesus helps you with touchdowns🏈🔥 and she was like yess exactly and then asked caligula in perfect latin if he could connect her with the ghost of genghis khan so they can talk strategy
Me normally: not even under torture will I admit to having been born in Dallas, Texas, the most wretched city in a wretched state.
Me when I am at risk of being served food adjusted to white people spicy: Hello. I am a Texan from Texas like LBJ. Remember the Alamo. Please put more jalapeños in my food so I do not die of sadness.
whenever i reblog a serious feminist post in the middle of silly things

HES SO HAPPY HE JUST LOVES FANS SO MUCH
Putting teaboot's tags here too because this joy for life needs to be shared I think
my ducks? in a row. the elephant? addressed. my goose? cooked. my eggs? in several baskets. the bigger fish? fried.
Your monkeys ?
those aren’t mine.
What's a book written by a woman that changed your life or that you consider a classic? Any genre, any language.
me whenever another woman starts talking about how expensive it is to be a woman because of all the beauty treatments ‘we’ have to do
knowing how it tends to go with male authors and their wives it was probably marge who wrote the odyssey
women are like diamonds: synthetically-produced women are not meaningfully different from naturally-formed women, and anyone trying to tell you otherwise is probably trying to justify keeping their women mines open
"I'm just a girl☺️🥰💖💞💅🌺🌷🦄" when you were eight and the teacher said she needed some strong boys to carry something you used to be furious, and when you convinced them to let you help, you carried twice as many chairs as the boys with the righteous anger of a girl who knew she was just as capable as them. Where did that go?
