me remembering that the name “caligula” that has become synonymous with sensuality and depravity and generally deranged behavior actually means “little boot” and was the childhood pet name of roman emperor gaius because his dad was a roman army general and his parents used to dress him up in a mini army uniform including little army boots and have him march around being the regiment mascot

Voting will not fix everything. Voting is not the only tool we have. It may not even be the most effective tool.

But it's free, widely available, and useful.

Saying "voting is not enough" makes sense. There are limits to the power of voting, especially in gerrymandered districts.

But the claim that "voting is useless" does nothing but provide the right wing with data that says people don't care.

‘Woke Capital’ is functionally meaningless outside of rhetorical flair and the minute you start asking to have democratic control over your labor the boss stops pretending to be your friend, part 1000

Before watching GoT I thought "winter is coming" meant something like "a big threat is coming we might all die" but really it means "the Starks are about to fuck your ass up"

the only thing worse than disliking a book and taking to goodreads to indulge the hater instinct only to find that you are apparently the only person in the world who dislikes it is disliking a book and taking to goodreads to indulge etc and finding other people who dislike it, except that every single one of those people dislikes it for wildly incorrect and bad reasons that have nothing to do with why you (most correct person ever) found it dislikeable

So tired of shallow readings of texts that begin and end with "these two men were gay for each other" ESPECIALLY bc it almost always goes hand in hand with dismissing all female characters out of hand. Yes nick was gay for gatsby but daisy is an extremely important part of novel and gatsby's relationship to her is absolutely vital. Yes goodnight sweet prince is a little fruity but I also care deeply about the tense gender politics of hamlet and ophelia's relationship and her position as a foil to him and also isn't it SO much more interesting if Hamlet really did love her? If he loved her and yet? Like I'm not saying these men aren't gay but it's not worth sacrificing the women of the story

[princesskuragina]

And ALSO this pattern comes with a tendency to oversimplify what makes the m/m relationships compelling in the first place. Nick is obsessed with Gatsby, and enthralled by his life, and his wealth, and horrified by his single-minded obsession, and unable to look away, to stop himself from being complicit. In the depths of his paranoia, Horatio is the only person Hamlet seems to trust implicitly to tell him the truth, and eventually, to retell the truth of his life to others. These are JUICY dynamics and they are not at all served by the impulse to turn a tragedy into a love story with no more substance than "these problems could be solved if they just got gay married"

the uk government is trying to scrap the human rights act.

i’ve not seen a lot in the media about this so i’m going to do my best to put this into words and explain what will happen if the government is successful in replacing the human rights act with the rights removal bill.

this will mean that in the uk:

you won’t be allowed to say anything negative about the government

if you are disabled or chronically ill, you won’t be allowed to say no to being given a DNR in hospital

you won’t be allowed to bring ‘trivial’ human rights violations to court

public authorities (the police) won’t have to actively protect people’s human rights

the uk military will be allowed to basically do whatever they want overseas

if you ever commit a crime, they can disregard your human rights

the government will not be obligated to obey human rights

if you are from the uk PLEASE sign this petition, and also to everyone else, please please please share this.

I know they're named after him but for reasons I can't fully articulate it's hilarious that the guy who invented zeppelins was named Ferdinand von Zeppelin

[toskarin]

Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin literally sounds like the joke name someone would make up if they didn't know the actual answer
