Goodbye (Sad Beeps) by scadarts
And then R2 spent the next 20+ years fucking up Vader's shit.
Who carried the Death Star plans from Padme's daughter to Padme's son?
Who flew copilot on the mission to blow up said Death Star?
This guy.
Hello. My name is R2D2. You killed Padme. Prepare to die.
Text of tweet under the cut because it is loooong.

This is the paper. It's excellent, highly recommend reading it.
I remember reading about Gebru's firing but I had no idea this was the paper she was fired over.
actual criticisms of academia:
cost of education acting as class barrier
exploitation of graduate workers
colonialist past and present
ties to military industrial complex
danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues
criticisms of academia that get made:
those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things
Could you imagine making your own movie, making like 20 million dollars, and then going “awesome, now to install a DVD duplicating machine in my house and personally burn copies by hand like a medieval monk preserving sacred texts”
Like I need people to understand the mental image here of a multimillionaire internet creator personally overseeing DVD production in his own house like he’s running an underground bootleg operation out of a basement in 2007.
It’s weirdly charming because there’s something very “old internet” about it, this energy of “I made a thing, and now I will physically hand it to people myself like an artisan at a craft fair.”
The man really said: “The future of cinema is me standing next to a humming disc burner at 2am”
And like... I can't help but believe he's onto something
Artisanal DVD is not in my 2026 bingo card but in not complaining
Eva Stratt does NOT need a redemption arc. Eva Stratt did EVERYTHING WRONG so that no-one else would have to. Her hands are permanently stained with blood so humanity gets to keep on living.
“I burn my life to make a sunrise I know I’ll never see”
Growing up is when you realize your parents are not invincible and that they’re just people too. Sometimes it happens too suddenly.
In honor of Carrie and Star Wars Day. May the force be with you!
I know that people often characterize Obi-Wan as a Stewjoni name which is great! It's just that, personally, I've more inclined to think it is as a name given to him by the Jedi. I just don't think that it's a coincidence that two of the most prominent Jedi whom we see are named 'Qui-Gon Jinn' and 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'.
These are two characters who've had somewhat murky beginnings within both canon and legends. I think it's very notable that Obi-Wan was only given a home planet in 2010 (over 33 years later from when he was first introduced) and Qui-Gon was only given the home world of Coruscant in 2022!
There are very few main other characters like this. Luke Skywalker is from Tatooine, Leia Organa is from Aldeeran, and Han Solo is from Corellia. (This was established in 1976 in the novelization of a New Hope!)
Anakin Skywalker is from Tatooine, Padme Amidala is from Naboo. Both of these places featured predominantly in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.
Why? Because to understand Anakin Skywalker and to understand Padme Amidala, you have to understand where they came from. You do not need to visit Stewjon to understand Obi-Wan Kenobi. You just need to see the Jedi Temple and meet other Jedi. You do not need to all of Corcuscant to understand Qui-Gon Jinn. You just need to see the Jedi Temple and meet other Jedi.
Culturally, they are Jedi. They are Jedi at the beginning, the middle, and the end of their lives. What if that were the origins of their names? What if Obi-Wan Kenobi means 'Child of the Light' or 'Beloved'? What if Qui-Gon Jinn means 'Protector' or 'Balanced'?
I just think that it would be neat to see it more.
Every day i think about those black musicians whose songs were made into covers by white people and now everyone thinks that these are the originals. Youtube comment sections are full of people like "is this what it feels like to find out you're adopted?" instead of celebrating and promoting the original creators of the songs.
Gloria Jones - Tainted Love
Little Eva - Loco-Motion
Martha & The Vandellas - Dancing in the Streets
James Ray - I've Got My Mind Set On You
Big Mama Thornton - Hound Dog
Robert Knight - Everlasting Love
Erma Franklin - Piece of My Heart

The Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love
The Supremes - Keep Me Hanging On
The Top Notes - Twist and Shout
Lord Creator - Kingston Town
The Paragons - Tide is High

And here's an entire playlist with songs by black artists covered by The Rolling Stones:
Why are there so many unexpected crossovers in PHM fics
……should I bite the bullet and watch Iron Lung
Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors
I’m so happy that the PHM fandom has collectively agreed to treat Eva Stratt as the complex character that she is
go watch project hail mary NOW!!
Is it weird that I freaking love that woman?
The painful thing about reading PHM fic is that it’s glaringly obvious when the authors in fact did not do the math
And math is very important in this context, but the premise is so delicious you just have to force yourself to ignore it
"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.
Exactly this
And she was ultimate blamed (and served) for the crimes she was forced to committed
