Happy Star Wars Day! I’ve decided to make my Skywalker comic into one easily rebloggable post.

So it's not my circus, but one of my monkeys did previously work there so i actually have a lot of opinion's on the circus' labor practices
Anti-revenge narrative this, anti-revenge narrative that, I personally think that Inigo Montoya had the right idea when he stabbed Count Rugen in the gut and said "I want my father back, you son of a bitch"
A lot of revenge arcs end with the hero saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so me seeking revenge is pointless." The Princess Bride's revenge arc ends with Inigo Montoya saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so there's nothing that can save you."

A post from @asksecularwitch inspired us to do a quick search on JSTOR about witches, and we discovered Fantasies of Gender and the Witch in Feminist Theory and Literature, an open access book by Justyna Sempruch.
Through a critical re-reading of feminist texts, Sempruch develops a new concept of the witch, one that challenges traditional gender-biased theories linking it either to a malevolent "hag" on the margins of culture or to unrestrained "feminine" sexual desire.

in case anyone was struggling to parse, this book is not transphobic! (also it’s quite interesting)
we are the daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn is associated with terfy shit, and I would assume the jstor account manager just didn’t know that. this book quotes Butler’s gender trouble extensively and utilizes non-binary inclusive gender theories to explore the development of the figure of the witch. it’s neat
Thank you for pointing this out — we weren't aware of the baggage in that message, and we certainly DO NOT condone TERF ideology. Our apologies to all our friends here!
“Do it scared” “do it badly” it’s time to drop the guide for do it alone
Doing it scared and doing it badly is one thing, but no one seems to talk about doing it alone. When you feel so isolated from your friends and your family but you have shit to do and you have to get it done no matter what. When your support system really is only you. For any myriad of reasons. We do not talk enough about doing it alone.

Cats fucking love lanolin, which sheep excrete to coat their wool. This is the kitty equivalent of a nice scented oil bath.
You can see at the end of the video the cat trying to nurse on the sheep’s wool, which isn’t unusual for cats and sheep. It’s theorised by some people that lanolin reminds them of the smell of their mothers when they were kittens.
I just really love creachurs okay <3

I thought today - the TV show I'd really like to see is one about a medieval monastery.
You could have all kinds of characters: the pious guy who joined because he wanted to serve God, the son born out of wedlock sent there to cover up his parents' shame, the geek who wanted to study Latin but couldn't afford to go into university, the former knight sick of violence and afraid for his soul... Plus monasteries were centres of pilgrimage and places where criminals could take refuge, so we can have a lot of characters who crop up for a few episodes and leave.
Some plotlines I thought of:
Our relics aren't bringing in the pilgrims the way they used to - what do we do?
A women fleeing an abusive marriage has taken shelter in the monastery - how will the brothers respond to having a women in their midst?
One of the monks wants to leave - will the abbot accept or not?
A murderer has taken refuge in the abbey, and the abbot decides to try and save his soul - what will happen?
People are coming to the monastery for food during the famine, but the monastery is itself short of food - how will this be dealt with?
War has broken out between two local lords, and the monks attempt to broker a treaty - will it work?
I've already mentioned some reasons why I think this setting would lend itself to television, but I'd also love to make it for two other reasons:
Get people to understand how weird medieval religion could get, but also that, within its own frame of reference, it was a reasonable and consistent belief system.
Show people that the Middle Ages consisted of more than just muddy people stabbing each other and burning scientists at the stake.
It's called Cadfael and stars Derek Jacobi as a crusader turned monk who keeps annoying the abbot by solving murders.
Pitching Leverage to a socialist friend: "The heist team gets hired by people who have been victimized by these corporate baddies, so there is always a scene at the beginning where some lady is telling the team 'my dad died because he couldn't afford his diabetes medication after the new factory owner Joshua Dirtbag the Third cut his hours' and the team is like 'say no more. we will put on elaborate disguises and convince him to bet on a fake racehorse, and somehow at the end of it you will have all his money and he will go to jail'."
Except for the pilot episode where they do all this and get rich enough to explain why their full time job is crime (based).
Occasionally people will wonder "why do all the jobs involve elaborate revenge/emotional validation? what about people who just need money?" and it's been pointed out that they probably do also get those, but they have access to enough money that they can just do that. easy. no need for 44 minutes of shenanigans
