Well when you put it like that! Lol. All the fic makes perfect sense. Probably why I read too much of it.
this and also there’s something very beautiful about watching in progress fics grow. shout out to in progress fics <3
Agreed! I’m not so great at the making friends part but I love being part of the encouragement train. Some of my favorite crack fics exist because enough of us were in the comments encouraging the insanity. Help fic writers make bad decisions that benefit all of us 😈
Internet archive links to books I've started to recommend if you care about indigenous people and anti-colonialism.
The Wretched of the Earth
Discourse On Colonialism
Making Space for Indigenous Feminism
Settlers: The Mythology Of The White Proletariat from Mayflower to Modern
Red Skin, White Masks : Rejecting the Colonial Politics of Recognition
Borderlands/La Frontera
As We Have Always Done
An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States
Books I couldn't find on the archive but still recommend you purchase or check out at the library:
Reblogged this so I could hold it while I checked if @queerliblib had an official suggestion policy, and I didn't see one, so, I'd love to see these books in y'all's library at some point!
(Y'all already have a few)
We do have an ‘acquisitions request form’ available on our website! And we also use ‘notify me tags’ to inform purchasing decisions, either one lets us know what folks are interested in reading <3
thank you ao3 for being an archive and not an algorithm. thank you for letting me like things without consequences, thank you for being free with no ads, thank you for having lawyers to defend our freedom of speech. thank you tag wranglers. thank you to all authors and thank you ao3
Genuinely one of my favorite things about TNG is how often they're just doing art for fun. Riker's been playing trombone since he was a kid and he really enjoys it and also he is Not Good. Dr. Crusher is stalking the halls trying to rope all her friends and acquaintances into joining her community theater productions and musical reviews even if they've never been on stage before. They're constantly going to their crewmates' music recitals and poetry readings, and some of these people are impressively good at what they do but some of them are just getting started or content to stay at beginner level. They're having fun! They don't have to be prodigies in order to be involved with art because engaging with art on whatever level has value of its own! THIS is what I want to see in my post-scarcity socialist space future. Will Riker's bad trombone playing is load-bearing, actually.
Cynthia: “The decision for him [Fiyero] to take of that cape. No one else has touched that cape.”
Ariana: “I touched it!”
“You have a bigger piece of my heart” bahaha! No one will ever convince me these to aren’t wives.
Let this be your sign to watch older movies right now please
And ISTG if I see one argument that you "don't like movies by problematic white men". Oscar Micheaux has films available as far back as 1920's
Alice Guy has such an extensive filmography starting in 1896 that it is genuinely overwhelming. Including the first film with an all african amercian cast in registered history.
Start caring about history and stop hiding behind fake progressive morals to excuse your ignorance.
This person has done THE most impressive job I have ever seen compiling links to many films and books for free
This is an impressive list of film noirs you can watch for free
TubiTV is my favorite streaming site, it has a spectacular list of older films, and you don't need to even create an account to watch them
Also the amount of great older movies available on youtube always impresses me. Every time I can't find an obscure movie on torrent, it is usually just there on youtube. Mosfilm has been remastering their most classic releases and uploading them there.
Anyway, be curious! Search "films about <thing you like>" on your searching engine of choice. Chances are someone made a movie about it no matter how weird and crazy it might seem!
I know I jest sometimes, but films are legitimately great! There is so much to discover out there, it keeps me always excited for the next great thing I can discover that I had never heard about! Please, shed your chains of hollywood fast food, there is so much beauty just at your reach
This is the only popular post I ever made that never brought me nothing but joy
if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!
1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.
2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.
3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes
it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.
It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.
so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know
fight the unkillable god, because you may be mistaken about its unkillability.
fight the unkillable god, because you may be the first bacterium to take a successful bite.
fight the unkillable god, so as to set foot onto the path which leads to the god being killable.
the bacteria that couldn't eat the tree and the bacteria that could eat the tree had the same general understanding of the tree.
might as well take a bite.
If you mess up a social interaction you can say "Failed Experiment" and move on
Cannot stress enough that you say this in your head
Hehehe. My tism would 100% say this out loud
The Ships by Darry Fletcher
Pretty!
i swear to god that social cue wasnt there before
Relatable
you really can’t unsee american military propaganda in movies like once you start thinking about it you are doomed to be the friend who’s too political when people put on an action movie for the rest of your life
truth
I spend too much time in the DWP fanfic section so this extra tickled me
Tuvok and Seven on that same level in "Tsunkatse"
Their relationship has always been so lovely to me. It’s why I just cry through their whole scene at the end of Picard. Even though I think Seven is too good for Starfleet and should just go hang out with Borg Jurati and do adventures. Also because screw them for creating Borg Jurati and then pretending like it never happened.
Replace one word from a Star Trek quote with 'boobs' and make it awesome.
"There are boobs in that nebula!"
Make it boobs.
Boobs are eternal
How many of these movies have you seen that people said “you haven’t seen [blank] yet??” to me about
i, have seen, 6 movies.
I’ve seen 74 and I cannot emphasize enough you do not need to watch The Searchers. Do not watch the Searchers.
122 and most of them I watched specifically just to say I’ve seen them. I wouldn’t shame anyone for not having seen most of these movies. And actually most of them I would tell you outright not to watch because it’s just white dudes doing violence in dress up. So boring.
However, from a history context I believe knowing how and why many of these films were made is critical. Film history is history, it can teach us more about technology, labor movements, propaganda, monopolies, censorship, representation, etc.
