you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

So much shit the DSMP got away with that other SMPs would be way too organized to do. A major character literally died permanently in a huge dramatic moment, something no one on the server had done before, but then the CC decided that the only reason that character was really truly dead is bc it was his third "Canon Death." So we as the community had to piece together how many canon deaths each character probably had and what made a Canon Death "count" meanwhile the other CCs were totally unaware of this storytelling mechanic until their chats started asking about it. Insanity

actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”

[plant-based-person]

what the people want, the people get

you see

my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.

evidence as explained:

victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world

his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression

he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest

henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces 

afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?

Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrational 

the book does not otherwise have central female characters 

Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.

in conclusion, Frankenstein (1818) by Mary  Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the first examples of mpreg in English literature

if you're an adult behaving immaturely i'm not going to "treat you like a child" about it because i have a lot of respect for children as an oppressed and vulnerable class of people. i will however treat you like an embarrassment. which you are being.

I would sure love to read what the NY Post Health & Parenting account believes a genocide should look like, since they’re nitpicking details of mass human suffering. I mean, is it REALLY genocide if they still have wifi 🙃

I don’t want to hear any writing advice from Stephen king not because I think there would be no value in it but because whatever works for Stephen king is between him and god and that demon he made a pact with that lets him write 3000 words in one sitting daily.

[cykelops]

HE HAS BEEN SOBER AND STILL WRITING FOR 30 FUCKING YEARS!!!

@sherbertilluminated there's a line somewhere in Ursula Vernon's Digger that goes something like "it is difficult to be metaphysical around the truly geologically minded"

"Race works differently here in Europe" <- someone whose nation benefits wholeheartedly from transatlantic slave trade, the new deal and several forms of racism to this very day.

There are literally no exceptions. None.

[bisforbutch]

"crt would make no sense in Europe or Australia" <- a racist and an acting liberal.

[trashyfemme]

Spot on

[romehbo]

a misogynistic society is so threatened by the concept of trans women - women that "had the opportunity" to be privileged men and chose not to - that they start making up privileges women have in order to explain why trans women exist. going into womens restrooms isnt a privilege, playing womens sports isnt a privilege, lesbianism isnt a privilege, yet they present them as such to try and explain why trans women are women for nefarious reasons. a misogynistic society will never understand that trans women have no ulterior motive for being women
