Does anyone else remember the story about that poor lesbian who came out to her mother and her mother cried and said “it’s all that damn Keira Knightley’s fault, I knew I shouldn’t have let you watch pride and prejudice as a child” because I’m really feeling that now

I can’t believe this Princess of Thieves erasure

she cuts off her own hair and dresses like a boy to protect the crown prince

also she’s amazing at archery. legolas whomst?

I recorded this on VHS commercials and all and watched it pretty much until the tape wore out. Totally in a heterosexual way though.

When I was 12, a drunk adult man shouted “You’re the hottest girl I’ve ever seen!” at me.

My reaction was to turn around and shout back, “Then OBVIOUSLY you’ve never seen Kiera Knightley!” and in retrospect I should have realized some things sooner than I did.

I know at this point this is basically a highlights reel of Keira Knightley’s whole filmography, but I present for your sword & sandals consideration, Keira as Celtic Guinevere in “King Arthur” (2004):

It’s almost like the producers are the problem and the consumers don’t have much control over what they’re given 🧐

Some guy called the park today and asked if we have any outdoor snow activities coming up.

“We should soon,” I said, “Weather permitting.”

“‘Weather permitting’?” he asked. “Can you clarify what you mean by that?”

“I mean... provided it gets cold enough,” I said.

“And why is that necessary?”

“Because... snow... melts?”

Working in a museum w/ a planetarium, we will often have public programs for big anniversaries like the 50th of Apollo 11, as well as for larger astronomical events like eclipses.

Some years back we had a viewing party for a total lunar eclipse that happened to occur in the hours before daybreak, and in the weeks before it happened the planetarium director had to field calls & social media messages left and right from guests FURIOUSLY demanding that we be more considerate of their schedules and move the event to a more reasonable hour of the day.

It seriously the tested the patience of this woman after she had to explain for the umpteenth time, while she understood their concerns about getting to the museum at 5am, rescheduling the orbits of the Earth & Moon was just a tad out of her control.

GOOD LORD.

It’s funny, ‘cause the children I used to teach at summer camp seemed to readily understand that I couldn’t magically conjure an octopus or an orca, and that sightings of those things were up to both chance and perceptiveness. But The Public is different, and often more demanding than Actual Children.

literally all four Fs of trauma typology lmao

Flight—Responds to abuse by constantly attempting to escape it, devolves into self-repeating perfectionism in the belief that it will prevent future abuse, obsessed with either geographical escape or forcibly recovering instantaneously to escape the continual, constant torture.

Fight—Responds to abuse with anger and aggressiveness because that is the only thing that appears to give control in family dynamic. Responds to anything that resembles attack with cruelty and defensiveness and attempts to manipulate with intimidation and disdain before others can manipulate them.

Fawn—Responds to abuse by attempting to become the perfect victim in the hopes of being less hated and less mistreated in exchange for cooperating. Turns off all personal desires, boundaries, traits, and emotions, tries to become exactly what the abuser wants. Continues this set of interpersonal rules even with non-abusive outsiders.

Freeze—Responds to abuse by attempting by any means to dull or numb it. Shuts down mentally, tunes everything that is said or done out, drowns it out with electronics or isolation or addictions. Prefers being disconnected and unaware to actively living.

Let’s talk about sexual consent.

You’re allowed to just… not want to have sex with somebody. For any reason you want. You might not like their haircut, their opinions, their laugh, their facial hair, their past history, their genitals, anything.

You don’t actually need to prove that the thing you object to is BAD WRONG AWFUL, or that you would NEVER EVER IN A MILLION YEARS want to have sex with that person or anyone like them.

You can go on a date and decide not to sleep with them. You can go on a million dates and decide that. You can have sex with them and then decide, 20 minutes later, that you don’t want to have it again. You can decide that there’s a certain kind of sex you don’t want to have.

Sure, people’s feelings may get hurt when they get sexually rejected. Sure, we can talk about broader ethical issues, like “Hey maybe the pleasure of both partners should matter so maybe cis dudes who want to please their partners should have more sex that gets cis women off even if eating out doesn’t give them personally an orgasm”, or people can discuss experiences like “I’m a lesbian and normally 100% into vagina business, but I had sex with a trans woman and had enjoyable contact with her penis and don’t think that makes me less lesbian” BUT

NONE of that means you need to do ANYTHING, sexually, that you do not goddamn want to. Your body, your sexual consent, should be inviolate to any person of good conscience. Your feelings and choices may make someone else decide they don’t want to have sex with you, but that’s their right likewise.

It feels like people forget that, and feel like they need a lot of backup reasons why they don’t want to have sex with someone. But in my experience, the reality is: People who believe consent is important will respect your consent or lack thereof no matter how whimsical your reasons are. People who don’t won’t care, and it won’t matter whether or not you have a 40-page thesis on Why You Don’t Want to Fuck, complete with bibliography.
