i present the maze runner edition of on my own les mis aka a love song between thomas and….his tree. for les-mazerables :D

On my own Pretending it’s beside me All alone, I stay with it till morning Without it I feel its bark against me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And it has found me

And I know it’s only in my mind That I’m sleeping by myself and not with it And although I had to leave it behind Still I say, there’s a way for us

I love it But when the night is over It is gone, that tree is not my tree Without it the world around me changes This paradise is dull and all  The lands are full of strangers

I love it But every day I’m learning All my life I’ve only been pretending The truth is, we’ll never be together The maze is gone, I can’t live on Without my dearest tree!

I love it I love it I love it But only on my own.

“If it was an average pitcher, he would have given up long before, even so he wasn’t bothered by his team’s errors and continued to carry his team with relentless pitching. On his back … I feel like I saw a true ace”

Chinese emperor Ai of Han, fell in love with a minor official, a man named Dong Xian, and bestowed upon him great political power and a magnificent palace. Legend has it that one day while the two men were sleeping in the same bed, the emperor was roused from his sleep by pressing business. Dong Xian had fallen asleep across the emperor’s robe, but rather than awaken his peaceful lover, the Emperor cut his robe free at the sleeve. Thus “the passion of the cut sleeve” became a euphemism for same-sex love in China. — R.G.L.

NO OKAY THIS IS REALLY COOL SO SHUT UP AND LISTEN KIDS. Ancient China was super chill about homosexuality okay. Like we have gay emperors and feudal lords, lesbian princesses who were girlfriends with their serving maids, gay ass poets who wrote lots of poems about that one courtesan who played the guzheng so well. In fact homosexuality was so okay that in Shiji, which is basically the Bible of Ancient Chinese history, there is an entire section dedicated to the gay lovers of emperors. What’s the best part? All the laws and criticism about homosexuality in Ancient China were all about shit like prostitution and rape. These laws were  outlawing homosexual stuff were all very specific. For example, there were laws banning male prostitution, but no laws against homosexuality. These laws were passed to stop the spread of prostitution and laws targeting prostitution in general were pretty common in Chinese history. There were also really strict laws about male rape. Rape was punishable by death, regardless of the gender of the victim. Rape a girl, you die. Rape a guy, you die. Have sex with a minor, you die regardless of whether it was consensual. The lightest sentence you could get was slavery where you were bound to the army. Also scholars wrote essays criticising the boyfriends of emperors, saying that they distracted the emperor from work blah blah blah but THEY ALSO DID THE SAME FOR THE CONCUBINES. That’s right - the issue wasn’t homosexuality but rather the hormones of the emperor. They didn’t care about the gender of the emperor’s favourite lover but rather the fact that the emperor was too horny to get shit done. “But WAIT, Modern China is a hardass about homosexuality!!!! How do you explain that!” Yes. That. That’s because of the late Qing years where Western influences entered the country and brought their gross ass homophobic attitudes with them. And the Qing government was so anxious to seem modern and be seen as equals to their Western counterparts. So they adopted Western ways and discarded their previous attitudes about homosexuality. Hence you have Modern China. So the next time someone tries to tell you that being LGBT is wrong because it goes against traditional Chinese values, tell them to go fuck themselves with 3000 years of Chinese queerness.

How Journalists Covered the Rise of Mussolini and Hitler

Reports on the rise of fascism in Europe was not the American media's finest hour

So the Smithsonian posted this an hour ago.  Just because.

[glorious-spoon]

The Smithsonian is pulling no punches.

“But the main way that the press defanged Hitler was by portraying him as something of a joke. He was a “nonsensical” screecher of “wild words” whose appearance, according to Newsweek, “suggests Charlie Chaplin.” His “countenance is a caricature.” He was as “voluble” as he was “insecure,” stated Cosmopolitan.

When Hitler’s party won influence in Parliament, and even after he was made chancellor of Germany in 1933 – about a year and a half before seizing dictatorial power – many American press outlets judged that he would either be outplayed by more traditional politicians or that he would have to become more moderate. Sure, he had a following, but his followers were “impressionable voters” duped by “radical doctrines and quack remedies,” claimed The Washington Post.

Now that Hitler actually had to operate within a government the “sober” politicians would “submerge” this movement, according to The New York Times and Christian Science Monitor. A “keen sense of dramatic instinct” was not enough. When it came to time to govern, his lack of “gravity” and “profundity of thought” would be exposed.

In fact, The New York Times wrote after Hitler’s appointment to the chancellorship that success would only “let him expose to the German public his own futility.” Journalists wondered whether Hitler now regretted leaving the rally for the cabinet meeting, where he would have to assume some responsibility.”

We are literally. Repeating history.

[annetdonahue]

WE ARE ACTUALLY REPEATING HISTORY. The parallels are terrifying and they are very, very real. 

Read “In the Garden of Beasts” by Erik Larson. It’s a good 101-course in this complete and total clusterfuck.

[kmnml]

Sigh.

[nevernewyear-deactivated2018051]

Our entire lives we have normalized Nazi ideals and leadership, turning them into a joke and relic of the past. Now that we are seeing these parallels, so many people choose to ignore them, and see this movement just as ridiculous and comical as we have portrayed them in the media for the past 70 or so years. So many people say never forget the holocaust, but so many others have never stopped to think about what that means.

Nothing to add here.

The worst trick a childhood anxiety disorder pulls is, you spend your early years being applauded for being so much more mature than your peers, because you aren’t disruptive, you don’t want any kind of attention, you don’t express yourself, you keep yourself to yourself - this makes you a pleasure to have in class, etc etc - and you start to believe it’s virtue. But you’re actually way behind your peers in normal social development, and who knows if you can ever catch up.

You seem much happier. What happened with Daisy?

Because no gifset could do Terry’s monologue justice.

This may be the most important 3.5 minutes of television in years.

This episode needs multiple awards, and so does Terry Crews for his delivery.
