a horror film not being scary isnt a bad thing. horror is supposed to HORRIFY, and conflating it with this obsession with scares has really messed with the genre imo. its why so many films are ineffective with audiences, because they leave no lasting impression due to the fact that filmmakers are focusing so muchon trying to scare you and not actually exploring things that deeply unsettle us.

If anyone enjoys parsing academic language, I reccomend reading the Philosophy of Horror by Noel Carrol which talks pretty much exactly about this extensively! He breaks down the horror genre and why exactly a movie that causes a fear response isn't by default a good horror movie, or sometimes a horror movie at all

The Chomsky-Epstein Files: Unravelling a Web of Connections Between a Star Leftist Academic & a Notorious Pedophile

Analyzing over 3800 emails and texts involving the academic, MintPress News has uncovered a deep, years-long friendship between leftist inte

6 KEY FINDINGS OF THIS INVESTIGATION:

Right up until his arrest for child sex trafficking, Chomsky was advising Epstein on crisis management, sympathizing with the “horrible way you are being treated in the press and public.”

On multiple occasions, Chomsky expressed his desire to visit Little St. James Island, site of Epstein’s infamous sex crimes.

Chomsky flew on Epstein’s “Lolita Express” jet, stayed at his mansions in Manhattan and Paris, and regularly met him for dinner and other social occasions.

Chomsky quietly met with a host of other highly questionable characters, including Steve Bannon, Woody Allen, and Ehud Barak.

Chomsky considered Epstein his “best friend,” and his closest advisor, and regularly exchanged gifts with the disgraced pedophile.

Chomsky’s relationship with his children broke apart, due in part to their protests over his attempts to name Epstein’s accountant and right-hand man to the board of the family’s trust fund.

i’ve said it before but i wish vaginas didn’t cost money

[petulantpony]

you literally can not have a vagina without paying for it. vaginoplasty for some, period products for others, if you want to stop buying period products that’s gonna be expensive medicine or an expensive procedure, recovery from surgery requires time off work and vaginoplasty specifically requires money spent on dilators. our bodies shouldnt cost us this much on baseline. having a vagina shouldnt have such a hefty tax on it. it makes me feel like i’m in a fictional dystopia written for middle school classrooms when i think about it.

probably should have seen it coming I guess but it's pretty fucking annoying everyone saw a conversation about "people don't understand how difficult it is clothes shopping as a trans woman" and proceeded to show just how much they don't understand it by assuming it's only about sizing and not the constant societal surveillance and inability to use the change rooms and fear of being kicked out of the story and unwillingness even for friends to recognise that there's barriers in your way and try and help you.

even people trying to commiserate with me complaining about the dumb responses assumed that it was just about sizing. and phrased it all like "you're so seen and valid". fucking christ.

wow it's almost like people don't understand how challenging it is clothes shopping even years into transition as a trans woman! who could have guessed??????

[soup-mother]

Not the strongest comparison here but

"It's incredibly difficult and challenging using public bathrooms as a transgender woman and it should be obvious why if you have paid attention to anything ever"

"Girl I feel you, welcome to womanhood. sometimes the seats are gross or someone's left something on the floor, we all experience this, you're so valid for this"

(meanwhile I'm lucky if I'm not immediately stopped upon entering)

with clothes it's like ok cool but you might notice that you are wearing womens clothes from the clothes store that you bought and were able to try on before buying and weren't called a pervert and/or pedophile over it. meanwhile I am not. so maybe this is not actually "something all women experience" or just about sizing yes?

Views you don't need to hold to be kink-positive: -Nobody has ever been hurt doing anything kinky and if they did they were doing it wrong -Kink is purely roleplay and emotions from a scene never bleed into real life -Rapists never have rape kinks, misogynists never get off on misogyny, etc. -If someone has a kink they actually just desire something bland and socially acceptable, like wanting to feel powerful or wanting to feel loved -Kink is never used as a cover for abuse

Views you do need to hold to be kink-positive: -One has the right to consent to real long-lasting harms -If something is okay to do for non-sex reasons it should be okay to do for sex reasons -Promoting harm reduction is more efficient than promoting abstinence -Indulging in e.g. a rape kink doesn't make you more likely to go and rape random strangers -Kink's potential as a cover for abuse is not minimized by making it illegal and shameful

I feel like some people should stop saying that tumblr bans trans women more than anyone else in a "none of the trans women did anything bad" kind of way, but rather "some of the massively banned trans women did very much break tos and did things that deserved to get banned, but they are still banned more than any other group who does the same thing and that's the problem"
