Rob Tapert and Lucy Lawless on Xena and Gabrielle’s relationship

[jumpthethunder]

This is why Xena was never queer-baiting. When they decided to go with having Xena and Gabrielle be soulmates (and lovers) they did everything they possibly could to make it a clearly illustrated love story between two women, but they were forced to make it subtext by the censors and the networks. Despite all this they still succeeded, over the course of the series, with having Xena and Gabs explicitly declare their love for one another, having more than one entire episode dedicated to the strength of their love and their willingness to fight and die for one another in any world or time, literally saying over and over that they were soulmates, showing them married (in a roundabout way) in a future life, and having them kiss more than once. They didn’t dangle the illusion of a romance in front of our eyes and then undercut it, they didn’t play with our feelings just to rob us of any real love between these two women. And, despite Xena’s death in the end, they not only showed her soul remaining with Gabrielle but they had already done several episodes that assured the audience that Xena and Gabrielle’s souls would be reincarnated together for all of eternity. Yes, there were the obligatory male romances thrown in here and there, but they became less and less frequent over the years until they were all but gone by seasons 5 and 6, and in the end not a single one of those romances proved more important than the bond between Xena and Gabrielle.

Lastly, from the very moment the idea of this relationship was presented to the cast they supported it. Lucy and Renee were happy to be seen this way, they never mocked their shippers, they never shied away from it in fear of what it could do to their reputations or careers. They treated questions about Xena and Gabrielle’s romance with honesty and respect at conventions (though Lucy is often a sarcastic ass-and I love her for that- so sometimes she can be interrupted as being snarky), and they acknowledged the importance of showing love like this on tv.

I’m shitting at these tags

[mad-hare]

yea this is Montreal, do you want to know how bad Montreal drivers are? only on the island of Montreal, is it illegal to make a right turn on a red light. because they don’t fucking look. it’s the only place I’ve ever been that has lost it’s “turning on a red light” privilege

but yea powdered snow is slippery af and the island is hilly and full of narrow streets. not designed for wheeled vehicles.

[mad-hare]

I need to reblog myself because I just found this on the gov of Quebec’s website

[apple-bottom-jeansx]

Reblogging for that ^ contribution

[brinshannara]

Okay, as a Montrealer, yes, our drivers suck.

However, this happened on a day with a ton of freezing rain when the temp was hovering around freezing and so everywhere was a goddamn ice rink. Additionally, that hill is Beaver Hall. It’s one of the steepest streets between downtown Montreal and Old Montreal. This was a shitty day to be out and about. I worked three blocks from here that day and was lucky enough to be able to work from home because the forecast was so bad.

TL;DR: Christ, we’re bad drivers but we’re not THIS bad.

[leepacey]

did you guys see yesterday that a whistleblower came forward and said that facebook knows how to remove the conspiracy theories and nazis but chooses not to because of the ad revenue those kinds of things bring in (and actively turned off the bare minimum safeguards they had when biden won the election), and now today, immediately following this whistleblower’s report: facebook, instagram, whatsapp, and all the sites owned by facebook are mysteriously down and have been down for over two hours now

[callmearcturus]

to get a full scope of the shit, WSJ’s The Journal podcast has 7 episodes called The Facebook Files that are very worth listening to. Especially the latest one, which is an interview with the whistleblower and explains the internal struggles she had trying to work within Facebook to make things better.

This is what the Marvel Cinematic Universe looks like to people who don’t follow it.

Oh come on, that’s not fair. Women aren’t featured in nearly that many Marvel movies.

"Other people are going through worse" so? So what? That doesn't mean you're not sad. That doesn't mean you're not suffering. That doesn't make your pain less valid.

You shouldn't feel like your struggles don't matter. Your feelings are important.

Just because there are bigger problems out there doesn't mean you're not going through something tough.

NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh gets endorsed in the Canadian Federal election by Bernie Sanders! 🔥

VOTE NDP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

[storeboughtbeetroot]

the other options are centrist who failed to do anything, right-wing longing for the days of Bush, and the FAR right. The NDP are far from perfect, but they are the best option canada has in the system. We still have to unionize as a people, but that will be much easier with a party that isn’t actively trying to kill us for a few dollars more.

[bauliya]

the idea that being closeted is being a liar is a heterosexual propaganda that hates queer people protecting themselves. you don't have to come out if you're not safe.

[ivylaughed]

Or if you don't fucking want to.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

lol.

The Liberals must have some really bad internal polls showing their party dropping and the NDP gaining for them to get the PM to say this publicly.

They usually leave this fear mongering and lies to their campaign staff and partisan fans on twitter.

If Trudeau really believed that vote splitting was such a dire crisis to democracy, he should have enacted the electoral reform that he promised in 2015.

If Maggie Sawyer, the only character in 6 seasons who was never fooled by a ponytail and a pair of glasses, saw that Alex's superhero disguise is eyeliner she would facepalm herself to Kingdom Come.
