so hard to beat the gay allegations when you’re gay

You’ve heard of the Roaring 20s........

now get ready for the Screaming 20s - coming to a decade near you in 2020

[heterokatedison]

is it too early or can we start screaming now

[heterokatedison]

in retrospect perhaps we should have started sooner

this post is the equivalent of a newspaper from the day of the outbreak being blown past by the wind after you wake up in a post apocalyptic world

i don't really like it when western mythological terms are applied haphazardly to essentially unrelated ideas. this is a completely lost battle but a lóng is really not a dragon, it is its own thing with only surface level similarities

[porcelain-dollbones]

i especially dislike many works that try to fold all sorts of different mythologies into a single consistent schema because they tend to heavily privilege western conceptions in doing so- see 'dragonology' books twisting basically every mythical reptilian under the sun into the mould of 'a species of dragon', implicitly centring the beowulf-style firebreather as the default from which all other mythologies derive, or basically anything that does worldwide vampire bloodlines

[porcelain-dollbones]

relatedly a qílín is not a unicorn, a fènghuáng is not a phoenix, and a jiāngshī is not a vampire, and it can impede understanding when they're approached from the standpoint of being the 'chinese version' of these concepts from western myth

There’s also already five cases of cops stalking their wives, mistresses, ex-girlfriends, ex-girlfriends new boyfriend etc like this - there no warrant required, no supervision around who or when cops can access these systems.

Police departments don’t even have systems in place for when cops retire or fired to make sure their Flock credentials are revoked. Crazy days.

Hi im a librarian amd that's not now this works. If a library allows you to have a digital card and not live in the area, you are NOT taking away resources from other people, that's not how anything works. Please keep doing it!!! The more people that use our services, the more money we can get from funding sources!!! Please use us!!! We are not utilized enough, by people in or out of our community. Thanks.

U.S. Counties where the African American population is 25% or more

Remember this map next time some liberal starts talking about just writing off the entire south.

[headspace-hotel]

In a lot of ways this is WHY the south is disenfranchised

[anarchopuppy]

and thats not to mention the massive latine and indigenous populations, which only get larger to the west of that red region. the south is the most racially diverse area of the country but ppl still act like its just 100% white racists (who do u think suffers from their racism????)

[johannestevans]

Btw when critics say "this is fetishistic" we don't just mean, i think the author was writing this one-handed

A "fetish" can be when you fixate unduly on an object and end up worshiping the object rather than what it represents or what it's made up of, so your fixation bears no fruit

It's not really a problem if an author gets off on what they're writing, the author's feelings about a subject aren't inherently an obstacle

But treating a specific theme or topic as one-note, so that your portrayal of it is one-dimensional and unnuanced? That IS an artistic obstacle

So when we say that an author's portrayal of women is fetishistic, for example, it's that they're reduced to their sexual appeal and lack depth as characters, or only serve aesthetic or shallow emotional purposes within a given text, and THAT's the problem, not whether or not they're hot

can we send up a quick thank you to pdf uploaders, torrent seeders, copy sharers, scanlators, fansubbers, digitizers, paywall dodgers, and various other internet archivers for making niche art and information more accessible in a media landscape where all but the most profitable mainstream are often tossed aside and left to rot

i'm legit curious pls reblog this and put in the tags what your first band t shirt or merch was

[creatingblackcharacters]

Wondering why this video I shared of a white man with all of his skin showing and his penis prominently protruding in his underwear is not being marked mature... But a Black woman's back fat got marked mature... A Black woman's skin got marked mature the moment I shared it... HMMMMMMM.

[creatingblackcharacters]

I’m sorry Orpheus i was too harsh on you…

[purpleisdebeste]

i was in the physics lab today and we were working with lasers, so the Lab Freaks (legal name) were being very careful to stress that we Do Not Turn Around or Look Behind Us because we’ll get extremely blinded by the power of high strength lasers

and i’m not gonna lie it was actually extremely hard to resist turning around. i misjudged orpheus it turns out this isnt extremely easy actually

[purpleisdebeste]

okay i’ll be honest i 100% looked back at the lasers. actually multiple separate lasers multiple different times. they were pretty

and i didnt get blinded. so clearly lab safety isnt real and you should always risk it cus taking risks is awesome #gambling

but uh. my ass is NOT making it out of the underworld 🔥🔥🔥
