Imo the “bad boy who’s only nice secretly/after you get through his layers” trope in media functions as propaganda designed to get you to second guess yourself and your experiences in order to give bad men a chance. Some things need to be taken at face value and if he treats people like shit he is in fact a bad person even if he’s nice to you sometimes. Stop looking for hidden meaning and depth in his actions. He’s not misunderstood he’s just an asshole and it’s not your job to shovel through the shit to get to the disappointing “good” parts

[Drawing of a coffee mug with flowers drawn on it. The mug is on a stack of books. On the spines of the books, it says “I would much prefer to be doing amazing work and making quick progress on all my goals, but given everything going on, most days I’m just proud I did anything at all. Even on the days I don’t manage much, I’m still getting through the day and that’s good too.”]

today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned dante’s sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, dante’s inferno dante, who died in 1321.

but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.

the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold dante’s exile.

The objectively funniest part of this is actually that the city that holds his remains, Ravenna, refused to give his remains back. This was a ploy from florence to have his remains moved back for the tourist money and its been ongoing for a long time. Florence had a fake tomb built in the city to trick people into visiting, and have tried to force the return of the remains.

His actual caretakers have been very steadfast in keeping them hidden, moved, or generally out of reach to respect his choice in life to never, ever, ever return to florence, even when he was first offered the chance to return. This is at this point an almost millenium long feud that florence is really, really mad about losing

the thing that strikes me about this latest wave of anti-trans hate and legislation in the U.S. is that it feels like it's *kind of* about trans people but really about a fear fundamental to all conservatives that a day will one day come when they will no longer be able to completely control their children

doubleca5t

american conservatism is a death cult. trump made this incredibly obvious but it's been trending that way for a while. it is spiteful, bigoted, cruel, morally bankrupt, and all evidence in support of it has either been fabricated, forged, deceptively edited, or disproven. being conservative goes against a fundamental human desire to be kind to those around you and I think on some level conservatives know this, and thus, they know that the only reason children would subscribe to these values is if they are indoctrinated into them with cult-like single-mindedness

Conservatives have been pushing for homeschooling for decades, they've been raising concerns about teaching evolution in schools since the early 20th century, they've made wedge issues out of sex ed, history textbooks, and now gay and trans teachers. They want a world in which children are taught to be conservative from birth and any attempt to teach them anything else is a literal crime. They want this because they know, deep down inside, that most children would not agree with them unless they were literally brainwashed into it.

also worth pointing out that most child abuse (sexual or otherwise) takes place within a "traditional" family structure or a "traditional" religious institution and I have to wonder if people who want to abuse kids have a fundamental investment in preserving strict hierarchies in which adult men have unquestioned authority over children

Like I'm not saying *every* conservative is like this but perhpas their emphasis on "groomers" is a wee bit of projection

Anyway abolish the family trans rights are human rights institute fully automated luxury gay space communism now

so let me get this straight. hbo aquires sesame street (an educational television show that was publicly broadcasted and free that has impacted millions of children), put it behind a paywall, and has now taken 200+ episodes off of its service which are now effectively “lost”

assiraphales

in all seriousness sesame street is such an important piece of living media. it has been around for DECADES and from day 1 shined the importance of diversity empathy and education for children in a fun way. their mission statement is “Helping Kids Everywhere Grow Smarter, Stronger, and Kinder”. it’s been such an influence for so many people at a formative age. it’s creators made it w the intention that it could be a res source for underprivileged kids and help them prepare for kindergarten. it is meant to be accessible !!!

For people unaware these dystopian looking articles are because:

-the UK is currently in drought and water restrictions are coming into place (golf courses are being allowed to use water though of course)

- because of drought plus short torrential downpours we keep getting flash flooding

- there is an energy crisis where energy prices are rising out of control because the government regulator keeps increasing the energy price cap while energy companies report profit increases because of it

- inflation is going out of control causing food prices to skyrocket alongside drought severely reducing the yield and viability of crops being grown

- all this while a leadership contest is going on so not only is the government a zombie government at the moment but the soon to be leaders are more concerned about trans people going to piss than millions being plunged into poverty
