Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
Unclench your jaw, drink some water, take your meds.
Worrying is worshipping the problem. (I saw that said elsewhere and winced at the truth of it.)
The Cursed Object said today is “naps only”. Oh, if only I could do that.
❤️ Auntie Jilli
I just don't see how there were any lesbian implications in "What was missing"
I only saw the Mathematical video recapping the episode and the two different musical clips, but I really don’t see how there was any implication of Marceline and Bubblegum having any romantic/sexual interest in each other. So Marceline and Bubblegum were friends before and Bubblegum wears the shirt Marceline gave her as pajamas. I just think it’s sort of a far stretch for characters on a cartoon aimed toward (although not solely watched by) children. Come on!
Also, the removal of the episode after people started the whole Princess Bubblegum x Marceline thing doesn’t mean Cartoon Network hates homosexuals. Grow up, people and stop trying to make everything sexual and then getting hurt when it’s not.
sorry to whoever’s 2011 post this is that I’m reblogging, but I wanted to put into perspective how far we’ve come
For those who don’t know:
Mathematical was a semi-official Adventure Time recap series on YouTube produced by Federator.
The season 3 episode ‘What Was Missing’ (written & storyboarded by Adam Muto and Rebecca Sugar) was the first episode to have the characters of Marceline and Princess Bubblegum interactive in any substantive way. Indeed, it goes so far as to reframe their previous lack-of-interaction as the fallout of a major fight. Marceline sings an impromptu rock ballad about it, expressing her desire to want to make up, but also “drink the red from your pretty pink face…”
So. Yeah. Fans went: !!!
The Mathematical episode recap brought the Marceline/Bubblegum shipping up, implying it was correct.
The backlash was swift and intense. The episode was pulled down. The host was forced to make an apology: “In trying to get the show’s audience involved we got wrapped up by both fan conjecture and spicy fanart and went a little too far.” I believe the Mathematical recap show was cancelled shortly thereafter.
… all over a lesbian pairing which did indeed end the series with a kiss:
and of the latest episode of Fionna and Cake got a joke about their shared sex life.
so.
it was always homophobic and stupid. but in hindsight. very homophobic and stupid.
Allowing an addict to eat might be the most holy thing my tax dollars have ever done.
literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
Reblogging this with these tags because oh my goodness
To the person I reblogged this from THANK YOU i am now going to stick this on my pinboard where I’m gonna see it every single day
“Life is long and beautiful if you make it so”
This has probably been done to death and taken as fact by now but... I thought this sums it up well
the council will now decide your fate
mutual aid is not an alternative to robust social services that permit people to live in community and retain autonomy.
forcing me to be vulnerable to my neighbors' whims for my survival is not justice and it is not liberation.
stop telling me we will 'care' for each other. i don't need strangers 'caring' for me. i need equitable, mutually beneficial relationships where someone earns a good wage to perform services i need. just like everyone who provides the services you need deserves good wages.
disabled people don't need your pity or your charity or your 'care'. we need you, collectively, to stop depriving us of our basic needs and rights.
everything humans need to survive should be free. so that includes: food, water, shelter, access to community, and any assistance you need to be able to survive.
everyone needs assistance to survive. if ur not disabled, did you build the road you drive on? or car or bus? did you build your home? do you grow and cook your own food? make all your clothes and everything else u need from scratch, incl producing the raw materials?
no? then congratulations, your access needs are met, and you have the privilege to not even realize it.
disabled people don't have special or unusual needs. we have needs you notice because society renders yours invisible and ours marked.
i see a lot of art filled with plants, like, in the american art scene there seems to be a kind of general movement towards and appreciation of ruined structures being overtaken by nature. offices full of dead computers and leaves. walls with ivy. old factories crawling with new growth. a symbol of degrowth, of new futures that devour and reject colonial modernism, of a refutation of the tyranny over land. it's a nice sentiment.
but consistently im noticing something odd, which is that over and over the plants depicted in art are very familiar -- they're houseplants. pothos. monstera. calathea. zamioculcas. plants growing in the wrong place, at the wrong time, in the wrong climate, a mishmash of unrelated folks with far-flung origins symbolizing "natural" retaking of the modern world.
plants, specifically, that are directly tied to the legacy of colonialism. from northern africa. from southern america. from india. plants that were collected as curios during periods of direct imperialism. plants kept as trophies, plants sold at high prices. plants that are "exotic". that are beautiful. that are high-value. plants whose people got no payment for their capture.
they're the plants people in american colonial territory, who lack access to native plant community, see most often -- that is, other than "weeds". and so when these artists reach for the pure idea of plant, the concept of nature, these plants are their only blueprint. dragging with them all of the baggage of hundreds of years of empire.
it's incredible how much this changes the messaging of the image. dreams of ecological participation stained with a creeping theme of alienation from their native biosphere. the thumbprint of colonialism, clear as day. a hopeful vision of the future, kneecapped by its own symbology. hundreds of individual artists so alienated from their own ecosystems that even their fantasy of participation with nature is inextricable from colonialist trophies. trying to imagine reclaiming the world.
If anyone could take a quick 5 minute survey about Movie Theater Attendance & Etiquette it'd help me out a lot! Thank you <3
These survey questions are developed to help gauge audience's opinions and feelings towards watching movies in theaters, and the etiquette e
and please reblog for greater variety of answers. I know more of my followers will be movie nerds with specific standards, and would like the results to be less skewed if possible lol
bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.
I love that psychic powers are still "allowed" in science fiction. They're an acceptable part of the aesthetic. Like you can't have magic, but you can have brain magic, because it's more Science.
I don't think this is being widely covered by national news, but Western Alaska has been devastated by Typhoon Halong. Thousands of people are out of their homes, the coastal Yup'ik villages of Kwigillingok and Kipnuk had 6.6 feet of water above normal. Dozens of people were rescued swimming in icy waters, houses have been ripped off their foundations, one woman is dead, three people are still missing, and most people are sheltering in the community schools. This is a roadless, remote area where it's difficult to get supplies and help in, heading into winter. Consider giving towards the Native-coordinated disaster response sending food and other supplies if you can.
I have another dog to put on this theoretical show. The original story can be found at this link. If the link breaks, it's a story on NotAlwaysRight called "Absolutely The Goodest Boy"
I love it when service dogs do some freelance consulting, it's so cool

laughing my ass off at how much this sucks
As a field of research, nuclear fusion is extremely international. The full list of ITER research partners includes a lot of countries that aren't particularly friendly with each other, and it's easy for me to forget how unusual that seems to my fellow americans.
I've had so many conversations with extended family or acquaintances who keep up with the headlines where they'll be like, oh I was reading about how China just set a new record in fusion. And I'll be like, yeah!! EAST is a really cool superconducting tokamak. They're great at long-duration high-confinement pulses with non-inductive plasma...
And I'll be another two minutes into the explanation of what H-mode is and why this is a cool result before I notice that the person I'm talking to looks like they just bit into a lemon and I realize that I'm supposed to think that it's bad that "the Chinese" just published a bunch of cool papers. Whoops.
Come on! how could you be mad at this guy???
Heard a guy say how worried he was that Russia and China are outspending America on fusion and I was like, well I agree that Russia is probably over-funding their hybrid fusion/fission reactor program, that's just not a good idea, and then I'm like oh right that's not the Worrying part to him
