rent lowering gunshot time so i actually do not think all israelis are evil or that israeli companies are untrustworthy or indeed that israeli newspapers are wildly inaccurate simply because they are israeli. holding any of these views is bad and xenophobic actually. performative protests against israeli people existing in the global space a la refusing to play the israeli football team are completely ridiculous and also xenophobic. <3 bye if u think this post makes me bad and racist for some reason & maybe think about why you think that

Me sowing (starting projects): Haha, fuck yeah! Yes!

Me reaping (having to finish projects): You know, I could just let the grain rot in the field.

I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

!!!! Today is the only chance we’ll ever have to listen to this absolute banger of apocalyptic fiction on the very day the story is set 😲✨

Nemoy’s voice is PERFECT in this!

(A content warning if you do listen - the dog dies, though it’s not super graphic)

I paused the robot vacuum so I could listen to this 1950’s story predicting the robot vacuum.

Literally think I could be America’s first unanimously elected president, who is also an EGOT winner, a PhD, MD, and JD, with a Nobel Prize and a Pulitzer, and it still wouldn’t be enough for some people

the year is 2035. the new beauty standard is for women to cut their ears off, as ears are a masculine trait which make the face look too big and hearing isnt necessary as it doesnt align with being demure. evil feminists say perhaps this is unnecessary and ears are natural. women are agressively proclaiming they are cutting their ears off due to sensory issues

hadestown at its heart is a musical about how the sexiest thing a man can do is unionize your workplace

[vegas2014]

[tending-the-hearth]

imagine going to your first rehearsal for a musical and the first words your characters say to each other are “come home with me” “who are you” “the man who’s gonna marry you” and your first duet is a song about a wedding and you get to fall in love doing a show about The Tragic Greek Lovers Ever and then years later you get married to each other and you become the version of the lovers who get a happy ending and get to go home together and you get to do the show again together and now the characters have a different meaning
