Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

I haven’t even seen this movie but I need you to see this Letterboxd review of The Housemaid - the discord server I’m in and I have been losing our minds over it

[pinnipetal]

It deeply saddens me that "pdf file" has become slang for pedo. Don't you dare disrespect my wife the beautiful portable document format ever again

[dualcasterjay]

and to the children in the notes saying we need this fucking baby talk to get around censorship online; there's been no credible evidence that any site other that YouTube (which will only demonetize your video, ftr) will actually censor or hide content that include words like rape, pedophile, gun, terrorist, etc. etc. and even if we take as a given they were (which, again, they are not), do not fucking comply in advance, you absolute fucking coward. and ESPECIALLY do not comply by altering your real life fucking vocabulary. don't let the technocrats dictate what words you say holy fucking shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun fact: Egyptian gods do not have ‘animal heads’. The depictions of gods are meant to contain a duality, as is important in Egyptian Religion (life/death, red land/black land, chaos/order, human/animal). So when you see, say, Anubis with a man’s body and a Jackal head it represents both his human form and his Jackal form, meaning he might appear in either form. But never as a human with a Jackal head. That is only something you’d see on temple walls for the duality aspect.

How di you know??

I mean it sounds likely but where are you getting your information from?

[thatlittleegyptologist]

I’m an Egyptologist? This is literally my job.

But if you want a source, read: Silverman, D. (1991) Divinity and Deities in Ancient Egypt, In J. Baines, L. Lesko, & D. Silverman, Religion in Ancient Egypt: Gods, Myths and Personal Practice. Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press. 7-87.

[ezairick]

Thanks for the sources.

I had just never heard about that fact before.

[thatlittleegyptologist]

No worries! (I realise I put a full stop instead of an exclamation mark at the end of “this is literally my job” which might have sounded harsh, so I apologise!)

[imboredofthisurl]

This is a very pure interaction

[unyanizedcatboys]

this is exactly how you should react to hearing new information that you’re skeptical of or don’t immediately believe is true

[theyhaveacavetroll]

also I’m fascinated by the punctuation question here. Full stop means “I’m done with this interaction and not amused” whereas exclamation mark = hey no big, I’m happy to explain!

Our generation has solved an issue that written English has had for centuries and I love it.

let’s be real the best tumblr has EVER looked was the short span of time where you could slap code into posts and we had classics like these

tumblr has never been closer to the core aesthetic and sense of humor of its userbase

chris redfield you are so dear to me. wdym you raised your little sister despite your small age gap because your parents died young and left you two all alone in the world? wdym you play guitar and got you and claire matching leather jackets? wdym you were in the air force but your values overrode your training and you disobeyed your superiors and then got into stars? wdym you co-founded bsaa and watched it decay under the same greed as umbrella? wdym you are an expert marksman and combatant and pilot and strategist and technician etc. wdym you laughed at wesker when you heard his ridiculous grand plan, straight up giggling? wdym you got amnesia and yet remembered leon the second you saw him? wdym you watched piers die? wdym you raised your friend’s daughter after you failed to save him? wdym you are fully aware that america is a capitalistic hellscape and yet the individuality of its people can be salvation and undoing? wdym you are slutted out in sexy add-on outfits more than every other protagonist in the franchise? wdym you’ve smoked all these years? wdym your eyes are either brown or grey and change? wdym you wore a hawaiian shirt to go to a vacation spot that was not even mildly tropical? wdym your brown hair is reddish in the light? wdym you punched a boulder and word got around so a decade later strangers are making fun of you for it? wdym you only got more muscular with age and you’re STILL bigger than leon despite barely being taller than him? wdym your bestie is jill valentine? wdym you make your teammates call you alpha? what did you mean by that?
