"a genus of new world pigs" sounds like something rage against the machine might call the american capitalist class. but in fact it refers to the humble javelina

Daniel Sloss SAID IT THANK YOU DANIEL SLOSS

Reblogging again now that Russell Brand's ugly mug is back in the news to remind everyone that in the 2023 Times expose on his abusive behaviour, Daniel Sloss was the only male comedian willing to be named and quoted like "yeah that dude's a scumbag and women have been warning each other about him for years."

scroll back up and watch this video. 🫵

SO fucking important.

it really is kind of interesting how attached people are to the idea of the improvised line and the genuine reaction in film. nearly every single famous moment or line has some sort of claim floating around that it wasn't in the script and was either made up on the spot by an actor or was sprung as a surprise on the actors to get their 'real' reaction. you know, sometimes people do come up with good lines in advance and write them down, and sometimes people can pretend to be have a convincing emotional response on screen

[porcelain-dollbones]

this actually does go hand in hand with the reverse; the idea that everything from start to finish is meticulously planned and indeed the crystalised intent of a single author. this is not even true for books and becomes increasingly less true for films and especially tv shows, which are universally the products of constant shifts, additions, reinterpretations and reconstructions. it shouldn't be underestimated the degree to which, for example, an actor can alter a film not by making up a new line but by giving a different performance of a line then originally envisioned, or how many books only find a shape in editing, etc

let’s talk about how they made it impossible to function without a phone and digitalised everything and then turned around and went “actually! these phone things aren’t safe for kids but it’s magically ok once you’re eighteen. guess you’ll have to have your life dictated by your parents now lol cause we’re gonna take the devices away from you. IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING”

[do-not-u-dare]

ok my apologies. take away my ability to buy anything too ig because these fuckass stores don’t accept cash anymore. take away my ability to communicate with people outside my house and school because I can’t text and I can’t email and I cant drive to them either and I can’t even fucking get public transport without a phone either. can’t order at a fucking restaurant without being asked to get a membership and install an app and also very sorry but you can only order through our online menu now! have you ever considered that it’s not just about instagram?

I was having this conversation with a friend at an HIV conference we went to- All week we heard speeches about how the most powerful tools for both outreach and education, and for managing your health if you're diagnosed with HIV, are online tools, often tools on social media, and how the population of youth with HIV are one of the most marginalised patient populations.

How the fuck are they meant to either get tested, get on PrEP, access PEP, get on ARVs, access counselling or peer support etc, when the government is cutting them off from the places where we put information out?

The reason most indie novels are written like the author is terrified of doing something wrong is because the overwhelming majority of indie novelists get their start by networking in the violent panopticon of the social media indie publishing community, which favours the people who are able to win at the social policing game.

Okay so this comment got me googling because I hadn't heard of Isabel Fall

And if you also hadn't heard of her go read this because uhh... Holy Shit

[headspace-hotel]

I had heard of the whole messed up situation with this story, but I hadn't ever read the synopsis of the story before, and WOW

This story sounds like it could have been a brilliant exploration of gender and warfare and violence but instead it was attacked by people who didn't know how to confront a story that made them uncomfortable, and the author faced horrible consequences.

It's so important to be able to deal with stories that give you uncomfortable feelings in other ways than just attacking it. Being shown new perspectives sometimes has feelings of discomfort because it's an unfamiliar way of seeing the world.

My mom has told me about this video multiple times. It seems to define parenting for her. I get it now.

i don't even find perfection that interesting, like if you polish and prune something too much it can lose its soul and charm. art and people need to be a bit imperfect in order to be captivating

​a man who has never denied himself anything meets a man who denies himself everything and the hedonist tries to lure the self-abnegator into succumbing to the pleasures of the flesh and succeeds but their rendezvous makes accidentally clear that true pleasure is derived from the perilous destructive nature of intimate connection and eventually true actual love and so we come to conclude that in fact the hedonist is the one who has never allowed himself anything true while the self-abnegator has never strayed from the path of his want and then they put them on ice skates and gave them sticks

“but if i communicate it perfectly then they will understand me” WRONG 10,000 years of suffering

"I have never seen a cat that showed affection/love for it's owner" is the pet ownership version of "I don't believe in Female Orgasms they don't exist, after all, my wife has never had one"

A downloaded copy does not automatically represent a lost sale; many people who obtain unauthorized copies would not have purchased the book at its retail price in the first place. Treating every download as a lost sale assumes that every downloader would otherwise have become a paying customer—an assumption that is not supported in every case.
