my dog fancy opinion is that they should stop making dogs with The Disease and people don't like that very much because it would make the breed standard sad
Me yelling at Friesian breeders that a horse doesn't have to die at age 10 from The Disease, and they all tell me I clearly don't care about horses because if I did I'd understand the importance of keeping the bloodline pure
Everyone loves me for my repetitive speech, my odd noises, my constant forgetfulness, and my repetitive speech
Never let this die
Ladies, gentlemen, and those who socially could be considered horses, I present to you: Connect 4: The Multiverse.
The breed standard for modern Persian cats calls for the nose and mouth to be in “vertical alignment” with the eyes 😭
best m/f dynamic is a flamboyant bisexual show-off desperately in love with an extremely practical girl who’s difficult to impress 🤩
You're gender identity? why? I mean, penis isn't that bad . I stink it sometimes, like in my mouth an stuff. Not gay or anything though even though my mom says so. Merry Christmas dude
I really really like this ask. I really really really like this one
I cannot tell what you're trying to say to me but this is my favorite ask I've ever gotten. What
Everyone's like "The new Pope isnt welcoming to gay people and has covered up child abuse" like. Fork found in kitchen?
bat at hornets nest maybe but "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" refers to low income communities needing to choose between survival vs being eco friendly. not you continuing to watch the harry potter movies
See also: death of the author is a form of literary theory and analysis not an excuse to give J.K. Rowling money
I want to reiterate this addition, because it's something that's been bothering me a lot about this discussion: death of the author is a tool of literary analysis. It means that you are putting aside authorial intent in your analysis. So saying "you can't apply death of the author to J. K. Rowling" is very wrong. You can and should apply death of the author to Harry Potter, otherwise we would not be able to discuss all the racism, misogyny, antisemitism, transmisogyny, orientalism and classism baked into the text, since 1) she, the author, would never admit to reproducing these biases in her text intentionally and 2) since she would not admit intent, an analysis that prioritized authorial intent wouldn't be able even consider these issues, since it would have to recognise them as unintentional, subconscious biases, and therefore, according to the authorial intent criteria, dismiss them altogether. This is why death of the author is so instrumental to literary analysis. It allows us to stop arguing endlessly about what the author wanted to do with a text, and focus on what the text actually achieved. And in the realm of an author's biases, it allows us to criticize, firmly. Because if you say, "Well, J. K. Rowling didn't mean for the goblin bankers to be antisemitic caricatures," I can say, death of the author; her intent is irrelevant. The goblin bankers are antisemitic caricatures.
What death of the author theory isn't, is your permission slip to buy Harry Potter merch and make fandom content promoting it without sparing a single though to the trans people, and especially trans women, that you are helping fund the disenfranchisement of in the process. And it definitely isn't, as too many people have come to use it since it got attached to Rowling's name, its opposite: a reader's permission, no, right, no, imperative to interact with any text they like completely uncritically. That, I would more aptly call death of the reader.
I went to a museum with this former carpenter, and as a way of flirting I kept pointing to victorian-era furniture and saying "oooh what wood is that ^_^?" to which he would reply, with increasing exasperation, "I don't know." this continued for like half an hour and he got very close to snapping.
sunk cost fallacy where you think the bit is going to pay off, but it never does, and everyone instead just sinks into a silent despair
it’s fun that Mormonism is based off pseudo-archeology and Scientology is based off pseudo-psychiatry. By that logic the big American New Religious Movement of the 21st century is gonna be based on… pseudo-computer science?
Hang on I need to look something up
cell bio professor closed out today's lecture on free-radical oxidation in mitochondria and programmed cell death by saying "you've probably all seen those commercials for fruit juice that says it's got antioxidants, which are said to prevent this sort of thing from happening, or at least slow it down. well, they don't work. this is an inevitable fact of life— this process that lets us live is also the thing that kills us, and it's why all of us will die someday. there's no escaping that. it's been with us since the dawn of eukaryotic cells; our pact with mitochondria is to the death. anyway, enjoy the rest of your friday, and remember, exam four is next week!"
Boys gotta eat, boys gotta have his supper
A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.
OP I want you to know I think of this post every single time I have to wash a spoon.
who else up & bisexual⁉️⁉️⁉️ And very afraid
if there’s anything i know for certain it’s that i am often up. and always bisexual. And scared
Do you think I meant to write "stoopid" google docs. Do you think I meant to describe a character as "stoopid." Do you think that is what I meant to do
