Welcome to the junk drawer of my brain. Come for that viral post I made that one time, stay for the bad jokes and the complete inventory of video game characters I find attractive.

Obviously I love when women cover men’s love songs and don’t change the pronouns, but I have an extra special affection for when this happens with trad/folk music. Like yes I would like to imagine two 17th century peasant women meeting on the road and flirting wildly. I don’t even care if it ends in tragedy, I just get boost from hearing a woman sing about her “true love” with she/her pronouns in an old-timey context.

Put together a little playlist of trad songs like this (with a couple of original songs by primarily trad artists) — here! Thanks to @bravenot & @majestic-salad for the songs you mentioned in the notes/tags! I’ll update it if I can find any more. 

[kimabutch]

Not to brag but I got the playlist at over 100 songs (and counting!) in time for Pride Month and I’m very happy with it :D

Just learned about Bull Press, a tabletop publisher that focuses on games that are prison compliant (no hardcover, no dice, no maps), and their catalogue seems sick as hell. Def gonna pick smth up when I get paid next. They do a lot of donation work with books for prisoners programs!

[mortalityplays]

As mentioned, Bull Press donate playbooks to prisons out of their own pocket. If you know somebody in prison you'd like to refer to receive books, you can email them with requests.

and if you want to support them:

direct donation

patreon

merch (their shirt designs are sick as hell)

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.

the dream... 😮‍💨

[northstareclipse]

There's a recurring online tendency to aestheticize consensus itself. The imagined future village is full of emotionally compatible people who enjoy communal gardening, conflict resolution circles, acoustic folk music, mutual aid potlucks, and repairing bicycles together at sunset. Which is nice for the people who genuinely enjoy that lifestyle. But plenty of humans are solitary, prickly, obsessive, urban, nocturnal, sensory-seeking, technologically attached, contrarian, novelty-seeking, private, or just plain difficult. Those people do not evaporate after the revolution. They do not get Left Behind while you are Raptured into the Utopia. They become your neighbors.

[literaryreference]

someone reblogged this from me saying that this is making out like the biggest problem in a post-revolution society would just be weirdo loners and downplaying the actual nazis. and while i've been known to hold forth myself about "even if you think all bigotry is caused by capitalism (which i do not personally believe to be true, but even assuming that it is), the people who are bigots now are not going to stop being that way overnight because The Revolution happened and you do need to think about how you're going to deal with that", it did not occur to me to bring that up here because that's not what i read the post as being about at all.

i interpreted this as being about the conflation of politics and/or "being a good person" with specific aesthetics and social modes, such that a lot of people are imagining a utopia in which there would be no space for certain real people who agree with them politically but just don't enjoy the same things they enjoy. we are not at the level of "how do you handle the continued existence of people whose beliefs you find morally repugnant?" here, we're at the level of "can you learn to tolerate the fact that the person sitting next to you at the activist meeting doesn't like the outdoors or folk music and doesn't agree with you that technology has brought nothing but evil into the world? can you imagine a better future that includes them without them having to fundamentally change who they are as a person?"
