A Thought That Kills

I write because otherwise my thoughts consume me; tear me apart, for they are what slew me in the first place. I have died a million times under their pressure. Please, just release me from these bonds, take me from these chains that link me to my brain.

Today marks the 26th anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre, in Montreal, Canada. A cowardly, misogynic act which left 14 promising women dead, simply because they were women:

Twenty-five-year-old Marc Lépine, armed with a Mini-14 rifle and a hunting knife, shot 28 people, killing 14 women, before committing suicide. He began his attack by entering a classroom at the university, where he separated the male and female students. After claiming that he was “fighting feminism” and calling the women “a bunch of feminists,” he shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He then moved through corridors, the cafeteria, and another classroom, specifically targeting women to shoot. Overall, he killed fourteen women and injured ten other women and four men in just under 20 minutes before turning the gun on himself.[1][2] His suicide note claimed political motives and blamed feminists for ruining his life. The note included a list of 19 Quebec women whom Lépine considered to be feminists and apparently wished to kill.[3]

After this despicable act, Canada adopted gun control measures. Since gun control measures were adopted there has not been another mass shooting killing more than 10 people in Canada. Since École Polytechnique there has only been 9 massacres in Canada; 9 in 26 years.

Please remember these women.

This Sucks, But it’s a Blurb to get the CREATIVE JUICES Flowing

Dig deep.

Burrow beneath bones.

You cannot keep

Whispering in quiet tones

And hoping for

Someone to save you.

Happy endings are mere lore;

Stay strong and stay true

To the values you held so dear.

These beliefs that ignite you,

Dancing, it incites you, your fear

Is misplaced, it is a furnace

Borne of your realization

That you will not miss

Living in oblivion.

Your crown of ignorance- retracted.

Step down from the throne.

Each scene of your life has been acted,

Now that you know, make each moment your own.

Dig deep

Burrow beneath bones

The silence may creep

But your knowledge is built from stones.

The Pentagon reportedly buried a report showing it wasted $125 billion of taxpayer money

The Department of Defense buried a report saying it could have prevented wasting $125 billion of taxpayers’ money.

The Pentagon buried the report in order to protect its massive budget.

The defense report (released in January 2015) outlined a series of solutions for the Pentagon to save $125 billion over five years without firing any civilian or military personnel. 

It was killed by high-ranking defense officials who believed exposing administrative waste could cause Congress to allocate it less money in the future. Read more

Recently I faced an issue from a guy throwing a tantrum because he couldn’t figure out if I was a girl or a boy. He made the whole restaurant listen up while he asked me my gender. The old me would of started crying or becoming defensive instead I questioned him about my gender and why it mattered to him and he replied by saying “Because it does… The Bible said you shouldn’t be gay”. I asked him more about his beliefs and because he couldn’t answer the questions about the root of his beliefs he got flustered and followed me outside and tried to fight me and then also throwing a drink in my direction. Again, I remained calm looked him in the eye and walked away because I am sure of who I am, the beliefs I hold and the future I’m building for myself. The opinion of others should never validate you, sway your judgement, or change you. Only you are allowed to be who you are, so I say stay strong in the face of ignorance, your light will defend you.

Women have more power and agency in Shakespeare’s comedies than in his tragedies, and usually there are more of them with more speaking time, so I’m pretty sure what Shakespeare’s saying is “men ruin everything” because everyone fucking dies when men are in charge but when women are in charge you get married and live happily ever after

[kiryu-chan-official-deactivated]

I think you’re reading too far into things, kiddo. Take a break from your women’s studies major and get some fresh air.

[beeftea78-deactivated20200113]

Right. Well, I’m a historian, so allow me to elaborate.

One of the most important aspects of the Puritan/Protestant revolution (in the 1590’s in particular) was the foregrounding of marriage as the most appropriate way of life. It often comes as a surprise when people learn this, but Puritans took an absolutely positive view of sexuality within the context of marriage. Clergy were encouraged to lead by example and marry and have children, as opposed to Catholic clergy who prized virginity above all else. Through his comedies, Shakespeare was promoting this new way of life which had never been promoted before. The dogma, thanks to the church, had always been “durr hburr women are evil sex is bad celibacy is your ticket to salvation.” All that changed in Shakespeare’s time, and thanks to him we get a view of the world where marriage, women, and sexuality are in fact the key to salvation. 

The difference between the structure of a comedy and a tragedy is that the former is cyclical, and the latter a downward curve. Comedies weren’t stupid fun about the lighter side of life. The definition of a comedy was not a funny play. They were plays that began in turmoil and ended in reconciliation and renewal. They showed the audience the path to salvation, with the comic ending of a happy marriage leaving the promise of societal regeneration intact. Meanwhile, in the tragedies, there is no such promise of regeneration or salvation. The characters destroy themselves. The world in which they live is not sustainable. It leads to a dead end, with no promise of new life.

And so, in comedies, the women are the movers and shakers. They get things done. They move the machinery of the plot along. In tragedies, though women have an important part to play, they are often morally bankrupt as compared to the women of comedies, or if they are morally sound, they are disenfranchised and ignored, and refused the chance to contribute to the society in which they live. Let’s look at some examples.

In Romeo and Juliet, the play ends in tragedy because no-one listens to Juliet. Her father and Paris both insist they know what’s right for her, and they refuse to listen to her pleas for clemency. Juliet begs them – screams, cries, manipulates, tells them outright I cannot marry, just wait a week before you make me marry Paris, just a week, please and they ignore her, and force her into increasingly desperate straits, until at last the two young lovers kill themselves. The message? This violent, hate-filled patriarchal world is unsustainable. The promise of regeneration is cut down with the deaths of these children. Compare to Othello. This is the most horrifying and intimate tragedy of all, with the climax taking place in a bedroom as a husband smothers his young wife. The tragedy here could easily have been averted if Othello had listened to Desdemona and Emilia instead of Iago. The message? This society, built on racism and misogyny and martial, masculine honour, is unsustainable, and cannot regenerate itself. The very horror of it lies in the murder of two wives. 

How about Hamlet? Ophelia is a disempowered character, but if Hamlet had listened to her, and not mistreated her, and if her father hadn’t controlled every aspect of her life, then perhaps she wouldn’t have committed suicide. The final scene of carnage is prompted by Laertes and Hamlet furiously grappling over her corpse. When Ophelia dies, any chance of reconciliation dies with her. The world collapses in on itself. This society is unsustainable. King Lear – we all know that this is prompted by Cordelia’s silence, her unwillingness to bend the knee and flatter in the face of tyranny. It is Lear’s disproportionate response to this that sets off the tragedy, and we get a play that is about entropy, aging and the destruction of the social order.  

There are exceptions to the rule. I’m sure a lot of you are crying out “but Lady Macbeth!” and it’s a good point. However, in terms of raw power, neither Lady Macbeth nor the witches are as powerful as they appear. The only power they possess is the ability to influence Macbeth; but ultimately it is Macbeth’s own ambition that prompts him to murder Duncan, and it is he who escalates the situation while Lady Macbeth suffers a breakdown. In this case you have women who are allowed to influence the play, but do so for the worse; they fail to be the good moral compasses needed. Goneril, Regan and Gertrude are similarly comparable; they possess a measure of power, but do not use it for good, and again society cannot renew itself.

Now we come to the comedies, where women do have the most control over the plot. The most powerful example is Rosalind in As You Like It. She pulls the strings in every avenue of the plot, and it is thanks to her control that reconciliation is achieved at the end, and all end up happily married. Much Ado About Nothing pivots around a woman’s anger over the abuse of her innocent cousin. If the men were left in charge in this play, no-one would be married at the end, and it would certainly end in tragedy. But Beatrice stands up and rails against men for their cruel conduct towards women and says that famous, spine-tingling line - oh God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the marketplace. And Benedick, her suitor, listens to her. He realises that his misogynistic view of the world is wrong and he takes steps to change it. He challenges his male friends for their conduct, parts company with the prince, and by doing this he wins his lady’s hand. The entire happy ending is dependent on the men realising that they must trust, love and respect women. Now it is a society that it worthy of being perpetuated. Regeneration and salvation lies in equality between the sexes and the love husbands and wives cherish for each other. The Merry Wives of Windsor - here we have men learning to trust and respect their wives, Flastaff learning his lesson for trying to seduce married women, and a daughter tricking everyone so she can marry the man she truly loves. A Midsummer Night’s Dream? The turmoil begins because three men are trying to force Hermia to marry someone she does not love, and Helena has been cruelly mistreated. At the end, happiness and harmony comes when the women are allowed to marry the men of their choosing, and it is these marriages that are blessed by the fairies.

What of the romances? In The Tempest, Prospero holds the power, but it is Miranda who is the key to salvation and a happy ending. Without his daughter, it is likely Prospero would have turned into a murderous revenger. The Winter’s Tale sees Leontes destroy himself through his own jealousy. The king becomes a vicious tyrant because he is cruel to his own wife and children, and this breach of faith in suspecting his wife of adultery almost brings ruin to his entire kingdom. Only by obeying the sensible Emilia does Leontes have a chance of achieving redemption, and the pure trust and love that exists between Perdita and Florizel redeems the mistakes of the old generation and leads to a happy ending. Cymbeline? Imogen is wronged, and it is through her love and forgiveness that redemption is achieved at the end. In all of these plays, without the influence of the women there is no happy ending.

The message is clear. Without a woman’s consent and co-operation in living together and bringing up a family, there is turmoil. Equality between the sexes and trust between husbands and wives alone will bring happiness and harmony, not only to the family unit, but to society as a whole. The Taming of the Shrew rears its ugly head as a counter-example, for here a happy ending is dependent on a woman’s absolute subservience and obedience even in the face of abuse. But this is one of Shakespeare’s early plays (and a rip-off of an older comedy called The Taming of a Shrew) and it is interesting to look at how the reception of this play changed as values evolved in this society. 

As early as 1611 The Shrew was adapted by the writer John Fletcher in a play called The Woman’s Prize, or The Tamer Tamed. It is both a sequel and an imitation, and it chronicles Petruchio’s search for a second wife after his disastrous marriage with Katherine (whose taming had been temporary) ended with her death. In Fletcher’s version, the men are outfoxed by the women and Petruchio is ‘tamed’ by his new wife. It ends with a rather uplifting epilogue that claims the play aimed:

To teach both sexes due equality

And as they stand bound, to love mutually.

The Taming of the Shrew and The Tamer Tamed were staged back to back in 1633, and it was recorded that although Shakespeare’s Shrew was “liked”, Fletcher’s Tamer Tamed was “very well liked.” You heard it here folks; as early as 1633 audiences found Shakespeare’s message of total female submission uncomfortable, and they preferred John Fletcher’s interpretation and his message of equality between the sexes.

So yes. The message we can take away from Shakespeare is that a world in which women are powerless and cannot or do not contribute positively to society and family is unsustainable. Men, given the power and left to their own devices, will destroy themselves. But if men and women can work together and live in harmony, then the whole community has a chance at salvation, renewal and happiness.

I have seen many people pick apart plays and books to find the messages written in them: This has to be my favorite view of Shakespeare’s works. Bravo, and may many more hear your message.

Hello! I often see people saying that they are unmotivated/ ask how to motivate themselves or find their stories. So, here is "my guide/giant block of obnoxious text" to "finding the story".

People watching. Creating dialogue and story and feeling based on short burst of interactions you see between people; imagining how they act even after they are gone.Find the story in *everything*. Everything. No stone unturned; Sic Parvis Magna (Greatness From Small Beginnings). Every crevice, every cranny, every nook is a hiding place for children to hide from invisible monsters and for creatures to find home in. Every tree, with their looming branches and spiral ascension, have stories etched into their worn bark, have stories veiled by grass-long-grown. There is a story everywhere, find them, make them- you are the Writer, you discover each story and help it to flourish. Carpe Diem! (Sieze the Day!)

!Read novels by authors that are trashy, badly written, but still popular- find what makes them tic. What makes that story so desirable? Find what can be improved, in both their writing and your own. Let one's downfall be your rising; tear apart popular books- especially in the genre you wish to write in- and find ways to have your story overpower their's. Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis (Thus always I bring death to tyrants).

Read authors that you admire. Read the stories, dissect them: what about the plot was so captivating? How did the characters come to life and affect the story? How does the writing style affect it? What makes that author's style unique? How would a story you love look in your style? Aspire to better your writing, to better yourself, opta ardua pennis astra sequi (desire to pursue the high stars on wings). Your style is unique, your writing can only be replicated by *you*. Realize that you can be better, that you are getting better.

Trace the lines of your curves and edges and lines, put that into words. Describe yourself and the people around you. Make them grounded in paper. Learn how they interact and react and write it down. Sic itur ad astra (thus one journeys to the stars).

This is what I do, with Latin phrases that I enjoy liberally thrown throughout it.

These are just suggestions that help me get into a creative mood. Write well and well writing to you all.

Apologies for the large block of text. 

{Perhaps comment/respond with what you, personally, do to overcome the Writer's Block and to find ideas?} ?

“I’m a vegetarian/vegan”

“If you’re not a vegetarian/vegan you’re a heartless killer”

[opinionatedvegan]

Well, paying someone to slit an animal’s throat makes you responsible for their death, soooo

[wachi-delectrico]

[opinionatedvegan]

Meanwhile, animals are still dying, so if I’m only “#making them feel guilty or angry” then maybe they should channel that into, I don’t know, not paying to have animals killed anymore? If people are feeling guilty, they know they’re doing something wrong, so why am I the asshole for calling them out for it?

You guys are the ones killing innocent animals just because you like eating their flesh, and yet I’m the bad guy somehow. I don’t really give a fuck if I’m “not cool”. I just want you to stop killing animals.

Veganism is an ethical position and a social justice movement on behalf of animals, so no, we’re not going to sit idly by while you continue to needlessly torture innocent creatures because you’re too much of a pussy to hear the truth.

(Watch them respond with that fucking gif again, I’m calling it right now)

[darth-revan-dark-lord]

Tried going vegan once, nearly died from it, went back to eating meat and became perfectly healthy again. Sorry it’s so difficult for you and other vegans to realize that some of us value our lives over some nameless, faceless animal we *need* to eat in order to survive. If my body could have adapted to the vegan lifestyle, maybe we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Maybe I’d be following you and screaming in those nasty, evil, carnists faces with you.

But you and other vegans who are adamant into guilt tripping others about eating meat and animal products have got to get it into your thick skulls that not every body’s the same. That some bodies can’t handle the vegan lifestyle, not even with science grown supplements to try to make up what the body is no longer getting via animal products.

Your ethics end when you treat your fellow human beings like shit because your so called moral superiority can’t handle the fact that people eat meat. You do you, and leave the rest of us alone.

[letstalkaboutfandomsbaby-main]

If you think veganism is just about what you eat then you have been misinformed. Veganism is about doing as little harm as possible. If you physically cannot give up meat, fine. But you can definitely give up dairy, eggs, honey, wool, silk, leather, and every other household product you use that has animal products in it. No one needs sperm whale intestine fat in their deodorant or shampoo. There’s plenty of great alternatives today to replace those other products. Also, no one’s guilting you. If anything they are stating facts. If you feel guilty then that is your empathy talking and saying that what you’re doing is wrong. Lastly, I find it ironic that you are saying that vegans don’t care about fellow human beings when people are literally starving so that you can have your next hamburger.

[darth-revan-dark-lord]

dairy: best source of calcium, eggs: great source of protein, honey: tasty as fuck and is actually good for bees as beekeepers will breed more bees which in turn makes the environment better as they’re our #1 pollinators of all those fruits and vegetables. wool: harvested safely from sheep and it is necessary for sheep to be shorn every now and then to have a long and healthy life, so why throw all that away when it’s eco friendly to turn that wool into better use by making warm winter clothes? silk, yeah you got me there, no one really needs it, but mostly made from insects which, idk about you, most vegans don’t give a shit about as I’m sure you’ve swatted flies and spiders or stepped on quite a few in your time. Leather? I’ll give you that as well, no one technically “needs” this either. But the cow’s already dead for its meat, might as well recycle that skin as well and make some fine feeling jackets, boots, pants, etc instead of wasting it.

Lastly, I would love to find out how many people I’m causing to starve to death every time I eat a burger, because that’s some messed up superpower I got there. Because, I mean, I’m paying the people who work at restaurants to serve it so that they can afford to eat, the restaurants in turn pay all the individual companies/farms that supply them, the company/farm pays its workers who then use some of their money to buy themselves and friends/family food….

[crystalphi]

1. Eating is killing something. Even eating only vegetables means killing that plant to survive. If you want to eat something that’s not alive you should eat a rock. It’s impossible to live without hurting nor harming other living beings. It’s completely fine you want to do less harm possible, but you have no right to force others to do the same.

2. We stopped being primates and became humans when we started eating so many proteins that our brain started working in a different way. We evolved thanks to meat.

3. Most of the medicines vegans have to take to survive without meat/diary/eggs etc are experimented on animals. You’re hurting them anyway. Almost everything is experimented on animal, actually.

[darth-revan-dark-lord]

[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

Either way, it’s dangerous for something no matter what you decide to eat. 

Eat meat, animals die. Eat veggies, plant life dies. So vegans contribute to the death of the planet as much as meat eaters. It really isn’t shocking. And it doesn’t make any of us better than the other.

[iamnotinuse-blog1]

The only difference between a plant and an animal is that one can scream and try to fight and the other can’t.

The conditions that the animals we kill are horrendous, and that should definitely change. However, do not claim to have the upper hand in morality- every time you pick a flower, twist a branch off of a tree, etc, you are causing that plant pain. It’s been proven that plants can learn to some extent (ferns curl up to protect itself when touched. Scientists dropped one from a certain height, after awhile, it realized that being dropped from that height wouldn’t hurt, and stopped curling up. Any higher or lower and it still curled up) and that plants feel pain.

I, myself, wish to go vegetarian. First, I must find the necessary supplements and replacements for meat, then I must wait until I can afford a vegetarian lifestyle. Don’t push yourself and your beliefs onto others when you don’t have all of the facts.

Have a great Thanksgiving.

Stay safe, well fed, and content.

I’m in Florida :( Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving~ May Donald Trump either get impeached or miraculously have been playing the Republicans and turn out to be half-decent. 

Seriously though, stay safe, stay alert, Happy Thanksgiving.

[tyleramato]

It’s Thanksgiving which means tables decorated with tiny porcelain figures of Native Americans sharing corn with pilgrims. It’s a holiday about being grateful, coming together, and being at peace but while we use caricatures of a great people, mainstream media ignores their cries for help. While we set tables with servings of food that are far too large, the original inhabitants of this great nation struggle to fight for clean drinking water and respect for their ancestors.

I’m not great at words but this issue is very dear to my heart so here’s some art.
