“These episodes don’t scream “TECHNOLOGY IS BAD!!!” They’re not too far removed from contemporary life, and they’re not too familiar, either. Instead, they quietly, diligently burrow into the heart of what’s so terrifying about tech to begin with: our tendency to make stuff that caters to our worst selves. And that, friends, is what dystopian sci-fi is all about. “ - (x)

Mary Shelley didn’t give the monster bolts.

Arthur Conan Doyle never put Holmes in a deer stalker (also “elementary my dear Watson” is never said in the books, and he doesn’t smoke a curved pipe)

There are boys at Beauxbatons and girls at Durmstrang schools

Edgar Allan Poe wrote the earliest essay on the big bang theory

Since Vine’s gonna die, here are some great queer vines from Thomas Sanders

[thecrystalfems]

I hate this vines because people applaud this guy for being so “progressive” and “supportive” but really he’s just using queerness as a punchline. It’s basically “wow look! You didn’t expect this person to be queer! Hilarious!! That’s the joke!!”

And then he gets millions and millions of likes and followers and praise just for that. People treat him like some kind of saint just for this. It’s pretty stupid.

[lacefuneral]

first of all: sanders is bisexual. he himself is queer (if he identifies in that way)

secondly: I think it’s less about “lol they’re queer” and more about subverting the assumption that everyone is straight. The marriage proposal vine really hammers in this concept; one man is trying to propose to another and outsiders keep declaring that the relationship is platonic (even though it is not).

He also directly tackles his bisexuality in this compilation as well; showing that he is attracted to men and women, and when asked whether he is gay or straight, he answers in the affirmative simultaneously. Bisexuality is often misunderstood and erased; some people do not even consider it possible to be attracted to multiple genders.

third: queer people are allowed to be involved in comedy. we’re allowed to parody ourselves. especially if we’re subverting pre-existing tropes

[garrettauthor]

This series of videos by @thatsthat24 is on the level of that old riddle:

A kid and his dad are in a horrible car accident and the dad dies. The son is barely clinging to life. A bystander rushes him to the nearest hospital. They put the kid on the operating table and the doctor recoils in horror. “I can’t operate on this boy! He’s my son!” How?

The answer to the riddle, of course, is that the surgeon is the boy’s mother. This riddle doesn’t work as well as it used to because that’s no longer such an outlandish idea.

The point isn’t, “Oh my god! A WOMAN doctor???” The point is to make the listener go, “Oh, holy shit, I just naturally assumed the doctor was a man.” It’s parody and humor as a way to access critical thinking about societal standards and what we assume is the “default.”

I try to do this all the time in my books, though I’m neither as adept at it as the riddle nor as funny as Thomas Sanders. Scene after scene features my protagonist going up against “a guard” or “a soldier,” and halfway through the fight scene I then refer to the guard as “her.” 

The number of emails I get from readers who are thrown by that … which, of course, normally you never want to throw your reader out of the reading experience, but I do it intentionally just to challenge them. Because I’m a fantasy geek myself and I know they’re walking into my fantasy novel assuming that 90% of the characters are straight white dudes. And that’s an expectation that needs to change.

I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch, The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.

History wants so badly for Cleopatra to be beautiful. Like they can’t conceive of Rome being intimidated by anything less

[terpsikeraunos]

because being a linguist, fleet commander, and powerful ruler doesn’t matter, only her looks

[destroymales-deactivated2023032]

Her Arab contemporaries raved about her being very interested and knowledgeable in the sciences.

She completely reformed the system in Alexandria, and Egypt at large; making it much more of a functional powerhouse. 

She did what 300 years of her ancestors couldn’t: Managed to get the support of both the Greek AND Egyptian subjects she ruled.

There is a sculpture that has been identified as her, through comparisons to coins minted under her rule, that proves beyond a doubt that she wasn’t particularly beautiful.

It isn’t that people just happen to believe it by mistake. Rome was fucking terrified of her and painted her as a vapid, scheming, beautiful, sex obsessed queen to discredit her to their people. She was a threat, and that was how they handled it. The unfortunate thing is that that is the most surviving record of her. A smear campaign against one of the smartest, most powerful women in human history. 

This is a woman who became her father’s co-ruler at nearly 14 years old in order to train for her actual ascension to the throne, who was forced to marry her own siblings in order to keep her power, and it’s widely believed that she poisoned them so she could rule alone. She’s a Pharaoh who led Egypt into a new era of wealth, who went fearlessly into war to protect her rule and Egypt’s independence from the Roman empire, a woman who took her own life rather than face being raped and tortured by her conquerors, knowing full well that she was leaving her surviving children in their uncertain mercy. Cleopatra is one of the most interesting, morally ambiguous, complexing historical figures we have and the media has turned her into a tantalizing sex object for the male gaze.

Even after Cleopatra died her influence on those around her lived on: her daughter, Cleopatra Selene, was the only child of Cleopatra’s to live to adulthood, and she became queen of Mauretania along with her husband Juba and it’s believed they married for love, which was extremely rare for that time period, especially among nobles/the upper class. Not only did she grow up in the house of her mother’s worst enemy and technical murderer, but she still went on to become a queen who possessed an equal amount of political power as her husband, even having her face minted on coins on the opposite side of his likeness, showing they were equal rulers.

Cleopatra and her influence on history, and her daughter’s legacy, have both been brushed aside in favour of the sexy Cleopatra visage. It’s bullshit. Egyptian mythology is interesting and vivid, and full of powerful women and it’s bullshit that we take some of the most powerful women in Africa’s history and try to turn them into fashion icons or sluts who only ruled through toying with men.

I LIVE FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THIS, people still refuse to believe that a woman can/could have achieved anything without beauty or fucking magical powers
