Just An Owl, Nothing to See Here

Like native plants, astronomy, fandom. Love how we are all here to be weird together. You folks make me laugh and cry and laugh until I cry.

Each Benoit Blanc film takes place in a different season and classic murder mystery setting.

Knives Out: Autumn in a country house

Glass Onion: Summer on a private island

Wake up Dead Man: Spring in a small town

So the next film in the cycle needs to be set in winter on a mode of transportation.

Knives Out: Snowpiercer

Knives Out: Northern Lights set on a Norwegian winter cruise. The crew set out wake the passengers at 1 AM to view the lights BUT ONE OF THEM ISN'T SLEEPING. Murder at the top of the world.

"You don't need a degree to build a cathedral" is a particularly stupid take because if you didn't know what you were doing when you built one, bad things happened.

Those towers don't stay up by magic. Beauvais Cathedral's builders really wanted to break some records, and started out first to create the highest nave, part of which collapsed in 1284, 12 years after completion. A few centuries later, they came back to build the tallest cathedral spire ever, which collapsed only four years after completion in 1573. The Cathedral now remains incomplete to this day, but still shows signs of stress.

Nearby Amiens Cathedral showed signs of stress two centuries after completion, and a red-hot iron chain was implemented in an effort to shore up the building. The chain is still there, and is literally holding the tower in place. This was, incidentally, probably the cathedral that spurred Beauvais to such excesses as they attempted to surpass it. Amiens is the cathedral with the largest cubic volume in Europe due to its soaring towers.

So no, my dude, you can't just start piling stones on top of each other and hope nothing goes wrong.

Fascists always invent their glorified past but the current one, which is simultaneously a mix of small town pastoralism & religiosity in a 1800s sort of way, the 1950s, and the 1990s, has to be one of their odder concoctions. Remember when nothing was woke, everyone made their own jam, worked in factories, & went to church, and they had Nintendo 64s? Uh, no???

There is no such thing as a victimless museum heist because museum heists are robbing from the people to give to the ultra-rich

You are the victim. I am the victim. We are all the victims

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

(also no repatriation is very much not the same thing as a heist, and while repatriation heists are a fun idea in fiction, in real life they would just put the original country in legal trouble regardless of whether that is just or not. So people repatriate through official channels to avoid that, because if you care enough to give things back, you care enough to not want the people you're trying to give them back to in hot water)

"eat the rich!"

"this amazing work of art that had been on display for the public to enjoy will now be sold to a rich person who will put it in their private vault forever"

"oh well that's fine I guess :)"

Like do you guys hear yourselves 

[atlantaasterism]

Yeah, the proletariat did not liberate these works of art. Someone obscenely wealthy decided they want this art in a nice display case in their bedroom, or maybe want to fuck while wearing the French crown jewels, and hired some people to steal it for them. We have been robbed of history and beauty.

We are well beyond canary in the coalmine warning levels with the way trans people and particularly trans women are treated on this site.

Maybe you've heard the metaphor of allowing wolves and sheep to share the same space, welcoming everyone. You end up with just wolves because allowing them in that space makes it unsafe for any sheep. Or the story about how a nazi goes into a dive bar and is refused service. The bartender then explains to someone else at the bar that if you serve them once they tell their friends and before you know it you're the nazi bar they all go to and normal customers don't feel safe.

Terfs and other bigots are seeing these targeted harassment campaigns succeed against trans women and rejoicing. They see Tumblr ban them and officially stand by those decisions as endorsement for their harassment. It's a sign to bigots across the internet that Tumblr is a good place for them.

And what's more is that a lot of us probably don't realize just how much trans women contribute to Tumblr. The women banned recently were sources of site-wide memes and posts I wasn't even aware originated from them.any years old memes and references can be traced back to trans women on this site.

How many of these folks have to be removed before this is no longer a site you want to be a part of it? Sure you cultivate your own experience, but you can't follow or interact with people who aren't here. And if I wanted to interact with the nazis and terfs I'd go to reddit.

I encourage everyone to reblog this. Trans women shouldn't have to be the only ones speaking out against the bigotry they're experiencing. They shouldn't be the only ones risking their blogs being nuked by staff. We have to stand with them.

Overly sensitive content labeling has deleterious effects on actual content warnings too. Sometimes a website will go hog wild and apply "WARNING: GRAPHIC" to every act of mild America's Funniest Home Videos-tier slapstick and you become inured to it. Like yeah click it it's a bullshit label that doesn't mean anytoh no that one was real. That was a decapitation. Ah fuck. Thanks algorithm for making "graphic content" completely meaningless

[atlantaasterism]

Person with epilepsy here. This is exactly what they do with "This [live show or piece of media] contains flashing lights" warning. It is on so many things that contain no flashing lights whatsoever. My local theater has a chandelier than slowly dims before programming starts -- they have either decided THIS is a hazard or that they can't be bothered to assess their programming for hazards, so the flashing lights warning is given before EVERYTHING, including lectures with no AV whatsoever. Infuriating.

This is of course because actually it is all about limiting legal liability, not about keeping people with epilepsy safe while allowing them to enjoy media. Same thing with the content warnings. YouTube doesn't care about your safety, they care about your inability to sue them.

It could really go either way. My interest is folklore, broadly. So I am very folklore Genre Savvy, and I wouldn't be walking around thanking the Fair Folk, or insulting unknown elderly folk who randomly showed up at my Life Event. But also that Roc doesn't care and would still eat the shit out of me.

I think when you correctly identify a trauma that is the base of a woe of yours it should just disappear. It should be like "aaahh. you got me" and vanish and leave 100 dollars behind
