do you ever start writing a comment on the internet and then think “oh what the fuck am i going on about” and delete it

[bramcrackerswrites]

I also enjoy writing an entire paragraph, thinking "you know, I don't actually need to be involved in this conversation," and deleting it

I’m curious what do you have against the MCU?

completely took over an industry that was already restricted by nepotism and wealth and privilege and made it even harder for any new or creative or diverse ideas to be made and convinced millions of people that having lots of cgi is good cinema so now everything is so polished and shiny and ugly and soulless but still has this unearned cult of worship surrounding it so NOBODY can dare point out the military propaganda or bare minimum diversity or frankly bland filmmaking because if you do you're just a loser and it doesn't matter if you're a movie lover who just wants new and different content or martin scorcese because marvel has completely taken over cinema and criticism is not allowed because how DARE people not give a shit about iron man or loki and there's no need for decent characterisation or complex themes because it's easier to just make villains that are like "capitalism is bad...and also MURDERING CHILDREN IS OKAY!!!" so you can put out your sloppy storylines and make people think it's the morally righteous thing to do to pay money to watch every single one of your sequels and spin offs and reboots and whenever people start to complain about how the film and tv industry is becoming a husk of repetition you just shove benedict cumberbatch in the next spiderman movie or whatever because how can people be mad that we're making sure we're slowing sucking life out of the moving image when we're doing such fun crossovers? and of course all these crossovers are SO important so you have to watch all fifty movies and twenty shows and thirty spinoffs to understand anything else in our universe and you're damn sure we're going to be releasing the next thing as soon as the other is out of theatres or is out of episodes because we CANNOT have people straying and finding media that isn't owned by us at least not until our parent company has bought out that media as well because absolutely everything has to be disney and WE'RE the powerhouse right now and you are never going to escape it and if you want your work to get any kind of support or funding then you better hope you're lucky, know someone rich or with connections, or it features captain america because otherwise you can get fucked but don't worry sometimes we have movies abpout women too so we're actually a #girlboss cinematic universe and if you don't like the stuff we make then you HATE WOMEN and you HATE CINEMA and you HATE PEOPLE BEING HAPPY and originality and creativity is a myth and you're either with us or against us but if you're not with us prepare to find us following you all the fucking time anyway because you are NOT allowed to have interests outside of the MCU we are everywhere and either you will watch spiderloki 58: captain marvel: the revenge of environmentalists or we will fucking kill you ourselves

Guys, I have a Yahoo mailing list that’s limited to thirty people, but we have to be careful, so make sure you always put disclaimers on each email about none of this is yours and TPTB shouldn’t sue you.

YES, you have to put that on EVERY email, do you want to get shut down?!?

[solarcat]

Make sure to email your age statement to one of the listmods!

[firelightmystic]

Guys, we need to keep the webring to a certain standard, so PLEASE no more sites with frames or pages with background midis. Not everyone’s browser can handle it.

Also, this webring has citrus, so be warned!!!!

I’ll be purging sites that don’t adhere to this request.

When I came out into society, I was fifteen. I already knew that the role I was condemned to—namely, to keep quiet and do what I was told, gave me the perfect opportunity to listen and observe. Not to what people told me, which naturally was of no interest, but to whatever it was they were trying to hide. I practiced detachment. I learned how to look cheerful, while under the table, I stuck a fork into the back of my hand. I became… A virtuoso of deceit. It wasn’t pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralist to learn how to appear. Philosophers to find out what to think. And novelists to see what I could get away with. And in the end, I distilled everything to one wonderfully simple principle: Win or die.

Steven Yeun at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Harry Shum Jr. in Conversation with USC Professor Viet Thanh Nguyen

Immigrant children face the same overwhelming changes as their parents including a new home, culture and language. On top of these big changes, they must keep up in school with kids their age. Children are thrown into a classroom based on age and are expected to keep up with the class and learn a whole new language. This can be frustrating and confusing to kids. On top of that, many face discrimination from classmates and even staff. Some kids get teased in class and feel increasingly isolated.

[cookie-sheet-toboggan]

as a canadian, i fucking hate this. y'all don’t understand how confusing it is being a british commonwealth country in america. i don’t know how to spell fucking anything. fuck.

[rowark]

Legit.

Only exacerbated by word programs and cell phones that red squiggle line Canadian spellings and make you second guess everything you thought you knew.

I don’t remember now what blog, but once I read a post from someone on complaining about American spelling and it was something like “Laura Secord did not walk 32km through a swamp so I spell colour without a u, like a pleb.”

And like… I think of that any time I notice any Americanization now 😂😂

[scribblinaway]

one time I submitted an article to a peer-reviewed journal and the editor emailed me back that they only accepted submissions in either US English or UK English, and wtf kind of in-between thing had I sent her?

[bossymarmalade]

Good news! As Canadians it is our right to use either UK or US spelling and be correct, so long as we use that form *consistently* within the piece.
