When the crops are woke
New airplanes should be built with one seat in the very back in a little closet with a lockable reinforced door. It's called the Brig. Flying in the Brig seat is a miserable experience, dark with uncomfortable seating and Bathroom Smell from nearby.
However.
The price of the Brig seat is one third of the price of the cheapest ticket on the plane. And if someone on the plane gets rowdy and pitches a fit, they get restrained and sent to the Brig so that nobody has to Turn This Plane Around. And if you're flying Brig, you get their seat.
I can't decide if I'm a genius or if I just invented the Torment Nexus (Travel Edition).
what I fucking love is how tvl was written in the 80s and lestat is constantly sayinf shit like “as the kids say 🤪 that’s so rad!!” or whatever, and to me, reader of the vampire lestat in this modern age, that does NOT register the way anne rice intended it.
like it is supposed to feel jarring and insane. it is supposed to feel like lestat has been violently submerged in modern young people trends and culture and is now repeating all the new words he learned like a beautiful fresh baby. but because the book is from 1985, all I think is oh interesting huh I didn’t know that slang term even originated in the 80s how vintage how retro how lestat wow he’s so embarrassing aw aw so cute.
but amc in all their incredible genius decided that honoring anne rice’s original vision of writing an extremely modern and weird book that fully embodied the era it was written in was more important then bringing back the 80s nostalgia thing that streaming services love and it’s incredible to me. now I get to listen to lestat say shit like “labubu FOMO cosplay reddit discord Gen Z more like gen SNOOZE 🤪🤪🤪 safe space pronouns donald trump labubu tiktok dance 🕺🏻” and suddenly I understand what it felt like to be a young anne rice reader in 1985. God…. I understand.
many of our ancestors worked so hard to be not farming and I deeply appreciate that
I love not farming
I respect the hell out of farmers and I'm glad that's someone's dream. because it's sure not mine
I would not be taken in by the tradwife influencer grift about milking a cow in a sundress. I have been around cows. my uncle was a dairy farmer. I love not milking a cow. I love getting milk from a store. I love getting vegetables and fruit and meat and bread from a store.
would I rather it be a local farm's store or a local bakery or butcher shop? yes! maybe when I make more money!
but oh. my god. I love not farming so much
RIP Anthony Stewart Head (1954 - 2026)
where's that spirk depression!au post that said theres only one bed in the flop they're liars there's two
TWO BEDS
i watched the episode with me own TWO EYES
thats another bed frame right there, even if it's not fully shown.
I'm not sure if someone's pointed this out already but I'm giving myself the task. That is actually covered completely in computer equipment and entirely unusable.
So they had two beds but chose to only sleep in one which is arguably gayer.
rip king, truly nobody was doing it for weird sci-fi and fantasy obsessed nerds like you 💔

Happy Pride!
Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
We’re winning.
I found his bio on societyofpresidentialdescendants.org and it was so delightful I had to copy paste the whole thing:
“Ulysses Grant Dietz grew up in Syracuse, New York, where his Leave it to Beaver life was enlivened by his fascination with vampires, from Bela Lugosi to Barnabas Collins. He studied French at Yale (BA, 1977), and was trained to be a museum curator in the University of Delaware’s Winterthur Program in American Material Culture (MA, 1980). A decorative arts curator at the Newark Museum for thirty-seven years before he retired, Ulysses has never stopped writing for the sheer pleasure of it. Aside from books on Victorian furniture, art pottery, studio ceramics, jewelry, and the White House, Ulysses created the character of Desmond Beckwith in 1988 as his personal response to Anne Rice’s landmark novels. Alyson Books released his first novel, Desmond, in 1998. Vampire in Suburbia, the sequel, appeared in 2012. His most recent novel, Cliffhanger, was released by JMS Books in December 2020.
“Ulysses lives in suburban New Jersey with his husband of 45 years. They have two grown children, adopted in 1996.
“Ulysses is a great-great grandson of Ulysses S. Grant. His late mother, Julia, was the President’s last living great-grandchild; youngest daughter of Ulysses S. Grant III, and granddaughter of the president’s eldest son, Frederick. Every year on April 27 he gives a speech at Grant’s Tomb in New York City. He is also on the board of the U.S. Grant Presidential Library and Museum at Mississippi State University.”
And frankly, the novels sound like they slap:
Desmond was nominated for a Lambda Award.
“With his husband of 45 years.” You kids don’t know ... they got together before AIDS, at the peak of the Gay Glam Life. They stayed together as their generation died around them, and made through it to the point where they could marry and have a legal family. He looks like a chipper preppie who never had a serious thought or care in the world, but it took *incredible* determination, commitment, and also luck to get here.
having now read the first of this man's vampire books, you can absolutely tell that he cares a lot about historical furniture because oh my god he really wanted to tell us about all the historical furniture in this vampire's house. material culture as foreplay. seduction via theses about chairs
Eva Stratt really is one of the most infuriating and compelling characters I have ever seen because she truly interrogates my own personal philosophies and certain truths I hold.
I don't believe in any state's right to kill their citizens.
I don't believe in the death penalty.
I'm pro-abortion in the specific way that stems from a belief no one has the right to another person's body, even if it would save lives.
I mentioned Abby "PhilosophyTube" Thorn's "Abortion and Ben Shapiro" video before, but short version: say, hypothetically, the world's most gifted and important violinist is going to die due to needing a kidney transplant. By some weird fluke of medicine and genetics, your kidney is the only one that will work. There isn't time to find another rare donor. Your sacrifice will save this important, 'valuable' person's life... but you'll be on dialysis daily for the rest of your life.
Believing in absolute autonomy means no one can force you to agree to that. Even if it will result in someone's death, you cannot be compelled to give up your body for a righteous enough cause. In the same way, no one should be compelled to give up their body to a fetus, thus pro-abortion. (The reason you abstract it this way is to side-step the ingrained misogyny of "well you had sex so really this is your fault.")
Anyway. Eva Stratt is a much worse version of this. Grace was asked to sacrifice himself. He said no. She overruled him and in fact was always going to overrule him. The security people with the sedatives were ready to go before Grace even gave his answer. Making it a question was a polite fiction to spare Eva the trouble and trauma.
By doing it, she saves not just Earth but another populated planet altogether.
Grace said no. And he fought. He ran for his life. He was terrified. In the book, he calls it murder. In the film, he's begging them not to do it. In the book, the flashback happens as Grace-in-the-present wonders about how he must've known he could pull this mission off, he volunteered after all!
Then remembers: no he explicitly didn't.
In some way, it works better for me than Omelas. In that parable, the sacrificial child has no concept of why its happening. In PHM, Grace does know, and makes the informed decision to say no, and is overruled.
Does it stop being a fundamental, foundational wrong because it saves Erid and Earth?
How about the fact that Grace lives, does that make it less wrong?
Does the threshold change based on if Grace dies as expected or not?
Was it the only option or if they spent two weeks on the issue would they find a replacement and make up for lost time?
What projected death toll do you have to meet before Eva's decision becomes the Right Thing To Do?
Where do the scales tip?
Did the scales ever actually tip?
Other people may think they did. But for me and the absolutism I (try) to maintain about life and autonomy... I don't think they ever did. But I have to ask myself to really contend with that question.
And in the film, she did all that, and I still feel tremendous sympathy for her.
And that is fucking art.
#for me it's like. it's not about the scales at all.#it was objectively the correct decision and it was still an evil violent thing to do. neither cancels out the other.#and also scores of people *absolutely* died as a direct result of her actions of paving the sahara and nuking antarctica#it's just that we have a face to grace that we don't have for the people in europe who suddenly started getting tornado'ed#and for my secret slightly eviller thought. grace was fine with her making all of those similar decisions right up until they hurt *him*.#he facilitated other specialists getting conscripted on to the project against their wills and went along w the induced natural disasters#so if you want to be evil you could argue that he'd implicitly consented to the idea that she is allowed to override people's autonomy#<- I'm mostly saying this as food for thought than as a representation of what I actually believe. hashtag murder is wrong.#but still yknow. she's never taken the oath to first do no harm. via @annabelle--cane
It’s Pride Month Eve, so leave out some milk for Freddie Mercury and his cats.
Time for the annual Pride Month reblog of Freddie Mercury and his fabulous cats!
also we have GOT to collectively come to terms with the fact that me or any other stranger online disliking or even making fun of something you like is not saying “no fun allowed” “no one can ever enjoy this” you have simply got to grow a spine and be able to like the shit you like. you don’t even have to defend it! like 90% of the media i really enjoy is divisive and half my friends actively hate it. i really don’t give a fuck though because i like it. you can write whatever you want! you’re allowed! even if it’s MY least favorite genre or style of writing and i have active distaste for it!
So, I'd seen some gifs of the film from a few years before TOS in which William Shatner plays a schoolteacher while only slightly older than Kirk would have been when he was a teacher, and teaching similarly-aged students, at that. But I had heard literally nothing else about the film until I looked it up.
So, despite the absurdly sensationalist posters/taglines/etc, the actual premise of it according to Wikipedia is:
Peter Gifford is a teacher who wants to teach high school students to think for themselves and express themselves. A female student pushes to have open classroom discussion about the physical and emotional issues associated with teenage relationships and sex. This issue gets blown out of proportion by parents who don't have the facts and jump to ill-informed conclusions, demanding sanctions against the mostly innocent teacher, who keeps still on the matter to protect the involved students.
My first reaction was "huh, that sounds... both of its time and unfortunately still extremely relevant to ours."
Most comments I've seen about it are "pretty boring but if that was my teacher in 1961 I'd be thinking about sex too," which is funny but not terribly enlightening. However, the September 1961 reviews are kind of fascinating to read from the perspective of the future. Variety's:
This is a well-written, carefully considered and capably-filmed study of American youth which avoids the sensational aspects of Hollywood's similar pix. Canadian actor William Shatner doesn't have a large role as the teacher, but he registers sympathetically and effectively. He has a pleasant screen personality and brings a moving power of oratory...
You don't say.
Democrats continue to make up the largest share of the state’s electorate.
As voters across Southern California prepare to cast ballots in Tuesday's primary election, a record 23.1 million Californians are registered to vote, according to figures released today by the Secretary of State's Office.
The latest Report of Registration, released by Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, found that 23,155,447 eligible Californians were registered to vote as of May 18, the highest total in state history.

why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead
this is the only kind of ace discourse i ever want to see on my dash. the only kind. ever again. good job
Do you think the sirens would be grateful that they finally get some variety?
“Oh my god we can finally just sing about pasta thank the fucking gods.”
I’m not asexual but I’m fairly certain sirens would do a far better job luring me into the depths with a song about pasta rather than sex…
I mean.
“WHAT THE FUCK STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS.”
