tired of cannibalism as a metaphor for love or sex. can we get into cannibalism as a metaphor for colonization.

1. Europeans using Egyptian mummies as medicine

2. The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism Within US Slave Culture by Vincent Woodard

3. "Abolitionists turned the tables on Europeans by accusing them of being cannibals when they ate sugar tainted with the flesh and blood of slaves."

4. Zombies (which I would class as cannibals, since they were human and need to eat humans to live) have a root in Haitian folklore and represented enslavement.

adding that, if you can find it, cannibal culture by deborah root is about exactly this. the way the white western world is a hungry, destructive force that cannibalizes non-white cultures and creates wealth and status through the cannibal colonization of those cultures.

here's the intro

i almost think there's an essay in bell hooks' black looks about this too? yes! just checked, there's an essay called "eating the other"

The thing about Miss Piggy is that she kind of has a Roger Rabbit comedy superpower where she wins nearly any conceivable fight she's in. But unlike other characters of which that's true, like say, Bugs Bunny, who tend to win because they make the opponent play the game with their rules, Miss Piggy wins because the joke is that she can beat the shit out of literally anybody.

I realized something about the new aliens movie trailer that has been bugging me, trigger warnings ⚠️:

So I saw Deadpool & Wolverine (great movie btw just waiting a bit before posting anything with spoilers) and one of the trailers was for the Aliens movie, idk if yall have seen but it’s extremely graphic. Not only did I learn who dies and how in the movie, I saw how graphically. It literally showed parts of the aliens trying to attach themselves onto the people’s faces and has a part where the beginning of an alien “birth” happens where they pop out of the chest. The ideas behind these things are supposed to imitate what the creators thought would be some of the worst things that could happen to someone’s body: oral r@pe, loss of body anatomy and forced childbirth gone wrong. They feared these things and yet it was graphically shown to an audience with no warnings.

Hot take: Lumière is definitely bisexual

has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull

Best way to describe my mind: I was scrolling through Sinners fanfiction, after reading a mha fic, when suddenly I remembered the name of the show I watched all the time as a child on vhs(Mouse House) so I googled it till I found it… apparently it was actually bbc shorts made into one movie(?!)… anyway it’s on YouTube so I’m watching it now
