Goncharov (1973)
Oh don’t mind me im just doing some cinematography art studies of my favourite Katya moments ~
"middle aged women shouldn't participate in fandom" and you think it's teenagers that are writing those brilliant, incisive 100k fics of your favourite characters
Louder.
Okay but more than that. Especially for Star Trek fandom.
In the 60s when TOS came out it was middle aged women who literally invented fanzines to share their fanwork with the fandom. If I recall correctly, you would subscribe to it and it would came with mail. Or you would borrow it. Back then, Star Trek wasn’t considered as serious sci-fi and was considered as only for women, housewives to be exact. And they fucking owned it!
They were the ones who organised house gatherings to discuss the show and sometimes even actors would pay a visit. I am talking about actual golden age of the fandom. They shaped the fandom culture we now have and treasure.
It was middle aged women who kept records, archives for fan work to not disappear with time. We owe them so much for the vintage fan work that is still around. They are always there, writing for us, illustrating for us and keeping archives for generations to come.
Here are some photos from those gatherings and late Grandma Dee’s caption ( @spockslash ). May this be an occasion to remember her as well, who was a witness of those days and was kind enough to tell us about them! She was active in the fandom in her late age and helped keeping the memory of the fandom alive.
“These are Joanie Winston’s photos, I believe. That’s Joanie on the far left in the second row (first photo) and in the blue on the right, sitting on the couch with George (second photo). That last photo, of Leonard and Nichelle goofing around, is typical of the organizer’s room antics in the early seventies, when the cast were not “celebrities” we gazed at from afar. They hung out and could be just as silly as any of us.”
Middle aged women of fandoms fucking rock and I am ready to fistfight anyone who suggests otherwise.
That feeling where you really want to talk to someone but you have no one to talk to. No one initiates a conversation, they just reply your texts and you feel like you're bothering them so eventually you stop texting people first and realise just how alone you truly are.
that type of loneliness.
not to be a hater (but yeah to be a hater) shocker that the show with the black lesbian lead is cancelled and... The Other One gets renewed for two seasons

sometimes a family can be two witch aunties who own a mortuary, a shape-shifting black cat who is actually a goblin, a half-witch/mortal girl who gets on the dark lord’s nerves, and her cousin warlock on house-arrest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nichelle Nichols’s impact can not be overstated.
She was the first black woman to go to space on tv (and her impact on representation on TV should also not be understated) but she also campaigned for NASA applications of diverse voices. Her campaign led to the recruitment of Sally Ride (first American woman in space), col. Guion Bluford (first black astronaut in NASA), and Mae Jeminson (first black woman in space).
Without her personal recruitment campaign (which she threatened to sue NASA if she put her reputation on the line to bring in these applications if they then did not go on to hire any of them) who knows how much longer it would have taken to get anyone other than a white man as a NASA astronaut.
Twitter users are defending their right to assume Picasso was a renaissance artist. Tiktok users think watching any film made outside the US makes you a snob. “Replace classic lit with YA and fan fiction” discourse is flourishing. I think we’re just living in anti intellectual times.
it's not anti-intellectualism it's anti-snobbery
Let me ask you this: how many “snobs” have you actually met? Because I have met many people who take interest in art history, watch vintage film or films from films from outside the US (which by the way are not all “arthouse” films), or read and cherish historically and culturally significant literature. But I have never met anyone who will treat me like I’m a bad person for watching Mama Mia or just wanting to be entertained once in a while. I have, however, met people who think art history is stupid and pointless and that those who study it deserve to live in poverty, who are xenophobic and dismissive toward any art made outside the US (or western Europe for that matter), or roll their eyes at people who read literature they consider boring because they’ve never given it a try. In fact, most of the people I know who you would consider “snobs” out of projected insecurity are cautious to bring up their interests because they think they’ll be made fun of. Is anti intellectualism “anti elitist?” At times, but it’s the sort of pseudo populism that fits comfortably within contemporary right wing discourse. Have you paid any attention to politics the last decade or so? If you are allergic to culture and new information, fine. Just don’t claim the moral high ground for it.
you could have just asked for her wig instead of snatching it like that
I was teaching kids today and they got fixated on the usual ‘are they dead now?’ question when I was talking about historical figures. So I was just like ‘Yes, they’re dead now, everyone who was alive in the 1800s is dead now.’ and then one kid was like ‘Except for you’.
I’m sorry to hear about your scalp.
Okay I must clear this up more concretely since this has gone far beyond my circle of folks who have the context of Why This Is Actually Funny, because there are thousands of people here who are like ‘kids are so rude, kids are so evil, I hate kids’ when…
1) Kids are little humans and they’re learning and they should be treated as little humans who are learning. Don’t be a dick to kids. Adults who are assholes to kids is such a bad look, and kids remember that shit.
2) This particular child was being SO earnest and ‘except for you’ was said not as an insult but like ‘oh…you’re the last one left 😢’.
I dress like this everyone:

Thank u, goodnight.
Sometimes it is your fault.. Sometimes you don’t listen well enough, you’re selfish, you’re rude and you aren’t always right. Sometimes you fucked it up and tbh that’s okay. It happens, learn from it, apologize and keep it moving. Just because you fucked up doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. Don’t dwell on it
no but this is so important.. it’s so important to just accept you can fuck up you’re allowed to fuck up. you’re allowed to be wrong and it won’t be shameful, it won’t be the worst thing to happen. you’ll either let it go or learn from it and not let it happen again and that’s good.
pandemic episode of malcolm in the middle: malcolm struggles to reconcile his commitment to quarantine safety measures with the fact that all the girls his age are so lonely and isolated that they’re suddenly willing to go on dates with HIM, of all people. reese discovers that egging neighbors’ houses still counts as a “socially-distanced” activity and has the time of his life. dewey does some mental calculus and realizes that he gets fewer wedgies per day from his brothers than he does from the school bully and decides he’ll keep these lockdowns in effect at all costs, so he starts calling in fake pandemic data to local health districts to bump the numbers up. lois gets in a physical altercation with a non-masker at the lucky aide and starts duct taping people’s mouths shut, which craig finds both alarming and oddly alluring. (craig then immediately gets infected from licking his hand to slick back his hair in a bid to impress her.) hal works from home but, after slacking off on the family computer all day, is driven to obsession by the thought of becoming the digital solitaire world champion.
Hal makes it to the finals of an online tournament and is moments away from winning the $100,000 prize but at the last second one of Reese’s wayward eggs causes a neighborhood wide power outage. The episode ends with Hal wailing with anguish in the pitch black house.
thirty thousand notes and this is the only good addition anyone has made. you understand malcolm in the middle.
