I Worshipped The Myth

Ash. 26.

[sophiemariepl]

Just discovered the Kingdom of Heaven (2005) movie fandom, particularly the Baldwin IV fangirls and I have one thing to say out of this.

Particularly, incels lost even more in my eyes since I found it (as if it was even possible 🤣). Whine to me again that you cannot improve yourselves because “women are empty, care only about money and finding a chad with a square jaw” and all that other Elliot Roger-styled bullsh*t.

Like, honestly, women can literally find attractive and fantasize about a man with goddamn leprosis just because he is wise and a good leader that cares about his people. You’ve got no excuses now.

I once had someone go “Brazil? That’s in Africa, right?” and I, a Brazilian, had to go “No, it’s in South America.”

Never in a million years did I expect them to respond with “South America? Where’s that?”

And yet, there we were.

Trans woman in need of a apartment soon, organized by Ava Del Rio Green Green

I just recovered from having COVID and found out that my trump support… Ava Del Rio Green Green needs your support for Trans woman in need of a apartment soon

Hey guys! My cousin is having a really difficult time in life right now, having just caught COVID and now is getting kicked out by her heavily conservative roommate after starting to publicly present.

If you can spare a dollar for her, that’d be great, but if you can’t, please give it a reblog to help spread it around so she can avoid getting dumped out on the street with only a few dollars to her name!

and they had this in common: that they were feared, hated, desired, and worshiped - woman hating, a.d.

WHAT THE ENTIRE FUCK

[5895651-deactivated20210518]

The company isn’t boasting about using cheap/unpaid/forced penal labor.

It’s a project offering voluntary employment opportunities with fair trade wages to incarcerated women, allowing them to amass decent savings and avoid recidivism (i.e., having to return to prostitution, drug muling, and the other poverty-related crimes as soon as their sentences are up, because they’re right back in poverty where they started).

No, it’s not the all-or-nothing Tumblr justice solution™ of magically abolishing the PIC overnight, but it’s a significant improvement over the literal slave labor most corporations employ, while raking in the entirety of a prisoner’s surplus and setting them up for recidivism.

[cinemaglow]

Y'all….this isn’t slave labor the way the vast majority of prusin labor is. They have a 30 hour work week and pay their employees a LIVING WAGE. Also the company was founded after talking to women in prison about their lives and needs

[apocalypse-gang]

Are finales that hard?? Or are you just that homophobic?? That bad at writing? Just pretend you like your fans somewhat. Jesus. Y'all deserved more

[pill-bottles-as-percussion]

I know this is about SPN but I read “finales” as “finals” and thought this was a specific call out post to me not writing my final paper. 

[apocalypse-gang]

The implication that you thought I was calling you homophobic for not doing your paper is killing me

[what-even-is-thiss]

I keep hate-reading plague literature from the medieval era, but as depressed as it makes me there is always one historical tidbit that makes me feel a little bittersweet and I like to revisit it. That’s the story of the village of Eyam.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Eyam today is a teeny tiny town of less than a thousand people. It has barely grown since 1665 when its population was around 800.

Where the story starts with Eyam is that in August 1665 the village tailor and his assistant discovered that a bolt of cloth that they had bought from London was infested with rat fleas. A few days later on September 7th the tailor’s assistant George Viccars died from plague.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Back then people didn’t fully understand how disease spread, but they knew in a basic sense that it did spread and that the spread had something to do with the movement of people.

So two religios leaders in the town, Thomas Stanley and William Mompesson, got together and came up with a plan. They would put the entire village of Eyam under quarantine. And they did. For over a year nobody went in and nobody went out.

They put up signs on the edge of town as warning and left money in vinegar filled basins that people from out of town would leave food and supplies by.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Over the 14 months that Eyam was in quarantine 260 out of the 800 residents died of plague. The death toll was high, the cost was great.

However, they did successfully prevent the disease from spreading to the nearby town of Sheffield, even then a much bigger town, and likely saved the lives of thousands of people in the north of England through their sacrifice.

So I really like this story, because it’s a sad story, because it’s also a beautiful story. Instead of fleeing everyone in this one place agreed that they would stay, and they saved thousands of people. They stayed just to save others and I guess it’s one of those good stories about how people have always been people, for better or worse.

[auroranibley]

It gets better.

Here’s the thing. One third of the residents of Eyam died during their quarantine, but the Black Plague was known to have a NINETY PERCENT death rate. As high as the toll was, it wasn’t as high as it should have been. And a few hundred years later, some historians and doctors got to wondering why.

Fortunately, Eyam is one of those wonderful places that really hasn’t changed much in hundreds of years. Researchers, going to visit, found that many of the current residents were direct descendants of the plague survivors from the 1600s. By doing genetic testing, they learned that a high number of Eyam residents carried a gene that made them immune to the plague. And still do.

And it gets even better than that, because the gene that blocks the Black Plague? Also turns out to block AIDS, and was instrumental in helping to find effective medication for people who have HIV and AIDS in the 21st century.

Here is a lovely, well-produced documentary about Eyam and its disease resistance. It’s a little under an hour. Trigger warning for general disease and epidemic-type stuff, but also, maybe it will help you have some hope in these alarmly uncertain times.

[evilphrog]

One of my favorite parts of the Hunger Games was how, in the beginning, Katniss was jealous amd resentful of the townies for not having to work in the coal mines. Then, over time, she realizes they aren't the true enemy. Then she sees the other district kids as so much better off than she is, because at least they don't come from district 12. But then she realizes they aren't the enemy either. And then she hates the other victors, before realizing they have all been exploited just as much as she has. So the enemy must be the Capitol citizens, who benefit from the exploitation of the districts, right? Wrong again. They are just uninformed and pampered people who have been kept in the dark about the true horrors faced by the rest of the country. Most of them, when push comes to shove, are perfectly willing to help the war efforts.

And slowly, over the three books, all theses separate factions of downtrodden people start to see each other as allies instead of enemies, and that is what propells them to eventual victory over the true enemy, the government that tried to pit them against each other. Just fun, totally fictional things to think about that have nothing whatsoever to do with our current life.

[poinsciuri]

i dont really… WANT… to leave tumblr. ive been here since 2011

[poinsciuri]

no other platform has the right format for me to just randomly barf actual thoughts, joaks, and genuine creative content all in the same breath. i dont know how to compartmentalize

[rabnerd28]

every other platform you gotta be a real person. Here you are you’re icon and username and whatever your hyperfixation is at the current moment

[marilyncornrow]

Ok that last bit was such a fucking mood

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

teaching paddling courses to kids is so much fun because without fail every class will have one or two children who are terrified to the point of tears about getting into the canoe, and every time I ask them what they’re most afraid of. I ask genuinely, “what do you think is the worst thing that could possibly happen to you today? If something horrible happens to you today, what will that thing be?”

And it’s always that the boat will capsize, that they’ll fall in, etc.

In summer courses, the answer is easy. I just walk into the water wearing my life jacket, start floating, and say “this is what it looks like when your boat capsizes and you fall in. I’m doing it right now. I fell in.”

If it’s chilly out and I don’t want to spend all day wet, I tell them, “want to know something funny? We’re going to capsize on purpose later. We have to learn how to capsize so that we know how to help ourselves when it happens on accident. Do you think we’d so something on purpose that’s dangerous? What will happen is that we will all fall in the water, and our life jackets will hold us up. I know that, because it’s my job to check your life jacket. Then we’ll all float around until we get back in our boats, and then we’ll go inside and change. The worst part of it all is that you’ll be soggy.”

This has never failed me. They always calm down, get in the boat, and end up having fun the entire time. Time and time again, the Unknown is the ultimate fear, and a little bit of patience at the start is all it takes to keep things running smoothly.

All that said, my favorite kids are the funny ones who clearly respond well to humor, so I get to tell them, “I can absolute guarantee that no one is going to drown today. I would never let that happen, because I don’t want to have to fill out the paperwork.”

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

me: what’s gonna happen?

crying child: I’ll fall in the lake

“The law [is] harsh, but [it is] the law.” It follows from the principle of the rule of law that even draconian laws must be followed and enforced; if one disagrees with the result, one must seek to change the law.
