How you pet without getting poke?

[hedgehogsofasgard]

If the quills lay flat like this (when they are calm and not defensive) they don’t poke and don’t feel that sharp :)

Baby It’s Cold Outside discourse is the same as Macbeth discourse. 

[dont-spoop-yourself]

Explain?

[emilysidhe]

OK, so one of the big debates in Macbeth involves the scene in which Lady Macbeth talks Macbeth into killing King Duncan.  People debate strenuously over whether it’s a scene of Lady M pressuring her reluctant husband into it, or whether it’s a scene of her sensing, due to their emotional intimacy, that this murder is something her husband secretly wants and has partially internally decided to do, and is arguing him into it in order to help him give himself permission to do it, in the same way that people see their loved ones wavering over the dessert menu and jump in with things like, “Go on, get the cheesecake, it’s your birthday!”  Readers and scholars disagree strenuously about this - we even studied an incident in college in which two 18th century illustrators attended the same performance and happened to draw the scene the day after, producing two images that advanced opposite interpretations even though they’d seen the exact same actors do the exact same performance.  It’s a big deal.

In the same way, the Baby, It’s Cold Outside discourse is about whether this is a song about sexual harassment, or whether it’s a woman singing about how she wishes she could spend the night with the guy she just had an excellent date with if only the neighbors wouldn’t talk, and him responding, “Stay, baby, it’s cold out!  No one could expect you to go home in this!”

I really don’t know (baby stab his side) King Duncan’s a bro (baby cut through his hide) I like him a lot (That decrepit old sot?) This plan ain’t so great (But what a king you’d make!)

The guards might worry (Darling, do it in a hurry!) His sons will rush the door (So knock them on the floor.)

I’m not such a knave (Bash his head with a stave) But I’d be a good king (Now you’re starting to think)

The dukes might all talk (But their chatter means naught) Say, love, what do you mean (You’d make such a king)

I simply must go (baby cut through his hide) There’s a war on you know (baby cut through his hide)

But what of his wife? (And what of his life?) It feels like bad luck (But that don’t mean much)

I’ve got a bad premonition (And I’ve got a mission) But that’s just superstition (My love, you’re a vision)

The witches said I’d rule (If they lied they were cruel) So baby let’s stab Stab his siiiiide!

Can we talk about this for a second? Because this is exactly how history in the US is taught. Since I went to college, I’ve learned dozens of “facts” I’d been taught about the US military and our wars were complete and utter falsehoods made to make us appear the heroes. Every time I watch ATLA I discover more and more statements about the world around us and I just love it.

'Escape the corset': South Korean women rebel against strict beauty standards

Women destroy makeup as part of backlash against culture of laborious skincare regimes and pressure to look perfect

Man South Korea is doing do great right now. If only we were more like them.

okay but the article is seriously mis-titled and it also kind of… misses its focus?? yes, the beauty culture in south korea is insane, but the beauty culture isn’t one only or even main thing these women are so pissed off about…

south korean women are not doing this only as a backlash against the beauty industry/standards, they’re doing it as a much larger female liberation movement that was mainly spurred by rampant video-recording of women in restrooms for pornography and unaddressed sexual assault. they’re rebelling against what the patriarchy demands from them (socially-mandated ”traditionally feminine” looks such as long hair, makeup, etc) to point out that they don’t exist to be desirable. it’s not just because they all suddenly woke up one day and realized the makeup industry is bullshit (though it is).

and like, even though that’s the main reason, you still have to scroll down multiple paragraphs to get to the article even mentioning it?? and the article only TOUCHES on what’s really going on in these women’s minds. like i get that it’s easier and more consumer-friendly to talk about the evils of south korean makeup culture, but maybe focus a little bit more on the bigger issue these women are pointing out…

not to nitpick, it’s still an alright article. but the article makes it sound like this is a passive, peaceful protest and these women are happily out living their best lives right now. they aren’t, and their defiance has been met with very harsh reactions (assault, etc). these women are still spitting furious about a much realer problem than just unrealistic beauty standards, and their very reasonable demands are still not being addressed.
