committed an unpardonable sin

i have an affinity for sesquipedalian words

My phone is on 4%, so I will

say this quick: I love you

and I don’t understand myself anymore

Perhaps I need more time

to kill and suffocate your affection

Sometimes I let it die, I open up

every application, brightness on one hundred

and I use faulty parts prone to burn

The sound is unbearably high

leave it in the sun for your collection

There was once a feeling, then it was

destroyed by magnets, the signal shredded

and it fell flimsy over the Bermuda

A graveyard for wi-fi

locked my boyish yearning in detention

It turns out 4% is a lot, lasts too long

funny how it seems like a lifetime in pain

and it’s only a blip when I call you for directions

It’s dead now and the warranty is gone

the prose failed because I ran out of time

and time is for work and being offline

and I’d think of something better to say

and structure this and proof read and do whatever poets do

do whatever girls you love do

but I can’t think straight

on 3%

I hate how 3 pm is so close to 2 pm so there's an illusion that there's still time left in the day to do things but in reality 3 pm is also close to 4 pm and if it's close to 4 pm you might as well just wait till tomorrow. <- can't argue against this by the way.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Remember when Lil Nas X beautifully explored his sexuality, seduced and killed the devil to the banger of all time, and instead of cheering on this openly gay and proud Black artist for his artistry and fighting back against respectability politics, suddenly said respectability politics was all the Queerest Place on the Internet cared about? Hm. Wonder what happened there.

Anyway I miss him and hope he's doing better with his mental health 🙏🏾

[creatingblackcharacters]

Like say what you want about "bad queer representation", but this was the song that made me openly and happily accept that I was bisexual. To see him up there Black and beautiful, making music that I love, absolutely killing it? Yeah. You couldn't tell me shit. This man made me proud to be out. "This will make them think we're evil for being gay" hey newsflash dawg-

I think Zendaya’s a pretty good actress but she just has the most American accent ever and that’s kinda holding her back

[enosimania]

spiritually Israeli isn’t something that you don’t like, it’s something that is vapid, capitalist, and often takes on attributes of better artifacts without understanding the core principle that made it good

[tenosit]

Ah yes "degenerate art" but leftist and anti-capitalist, don't think too hard why its Israel and not some larger capitalist economy like, uh, US or China

[toiletxd]

Imagine doing this for other countries. 'Spiritually Chinese' when something fails horribly and kills people. 'Spiritually Cuban' if somebody sabotages themselves for ideological reasons. 'Spiritually North Korean' wouldn't be a terrible way to call something a Potemkin village.

That would be pretty racist, wouldn't it?

[enosimania]

Spiritually Israeli to compare countries with rich histories to a proxy state created for western control in an oil rich region :p

Okay I would just like to point out that in the book Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Trillian is described as a dark skinned girl with long black hair, a red hijab, brown eyes, and a long, brown, arabic looking dress.

But in the movie she looks like this:

And in the TV adaption she looks like this:

????????????

[gupdoo3]

“She was slim, darkish, humanoid, with long waves of black hair, a full mouth, an odd little knob of a nose and ridiculously brown eyes. With her red head scarf knotted in that particular way and her long flowing silky brown dress, she looked vaguely Arabic.”

[dfgdgd-deactivated20180110]

^ The actual description of her directly from the book if you were wondering. ^

[luanna255]

In fairness, this is a terrible description for actually telling you anything about Trillian’s race, because “she looked vaguely Arabic” doesn’t make it clear if she is Arab or if Arthur thinks the combination of her dark coloring and her clothes makes her look Arab. And if she’s not Arab, the text isn’t telling us what she actually is.

Likewise, the description isn’t remotely clear about whether the scarf is a hijab or just generally a scarf that Arthur thinks makes Trillian “look Arabic” because he associates head-covering with the Middle East.

Then there’s the word “darkish”, which is the most infuriatingly vague word that Adams could possibly have used. It doesn’t specify a race, it doesn’t even outright say that she’s dark-skinned, it just dances around the implication of it. 

None of this is justifying the casting of a white actress as Trillian, because the text is pretty clearly coding her as a person of color. But coding is the key word here. It’s almost like Adams was doing everything he could to avoid designating Trillian as a specific race, or even just outright describing her as dark-skinned/a person of color, and I find that frustrating.

that white man isn’t handsome he’s just 20

I do really love it when women write graphic and fucked up things. I feel like so often people react to fucked up fiction with “of course a disgusting man would write this 🙄” and it often carries an unspoken (honestly sometimes spoken) message of “a woman’s PURE and DELICATE and FEMININE mind could NEVER think of something this VILE”. Thank you women in fucked up fiction 🫡

we need to have a conversation about how the "everyone is 12" theory of politics now doesn't only apply to conservative men who want to kick the bad guys' asses and then go home and eat a steak their bangmommy made just for them (NO VEGGIES!!!) but also to adult women who are literally afraid of other people having sex and being sexy. it's like there's been this massive regression among women in their 20s where we've gotten rid of feminism and replaced it with a new form of purity politics that requires never saying anything bad about another women unless you find a new and creative way to call her a whore. the misuse of "she caters to the male gaze" as a new form of enlightened slut shaming, labeling any woman who wears a short skirt or has sex with a man as "not a girls' girl" and "a pick me," the intense overreaction to celebrity affairs or even just shit like the summer house mess where a woman is now dating another woman's ex even though there was no overlap and the "relationship" was just kind of a situationship that fizzled but now these little girls are online demanding both people involved in the new relationship lose their jobs and not get any brand deals, the panic over mildly sexual content in literally any capacity like ads or an instagram post in a crop top, the compulsion to link everything back to the epstein files, the monthly meltdown over sex scenes on tv and in movies. everyone is 12 and AFRAID of sabrina carpenter.
