not now sweetie, mommy is watching how the massive girlbossification of female characters has led to the belief that weak and vulnerable female characters are badly written characters because apparently every woman needs to be outspoken and witty and snarky and brave in order to be considered “complex” and have any value in a piece of media!!

You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)

Just saw your Frankenstein post and dude genderqueer creature is so real to me you read my mind. From the second I watched that movie I was like that’s my daughter right there

ahhh i'm so glad!! the frankenstein as a transgender narrative is a spectrum and on one end there's "i am obscene to you but to myself i simply am" from frankenstein 2025 while on the other end there's "you don't need one of those to be a man" from lisa frankenstein :')

Sleep well Marjane Satrapi. You were a huge influence on me and my work in a way that cannot be understated. You will be missed but your work will carry on for generations to come

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely

You can understand the French perfectly fine with only context but the English translation I got still had me floored

in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming

that's solidarity baybeeee

[lgbtlaughs]

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

#HELL YEAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!#i watched the movie that discussed this event and it was GREAT

sorry i just. i have to say something here

the movie is not about this event. i have seen a lot of reblogs tagged as "pride (2014)" or "watch the movie about this!" or similar, and while I totally get it (and Pride is a great movie) i just want to underline: this post is not about the events depicted in Pride (2014), although it is absolutely related

this is about Durham Pride 2026, which took place three days ago and which the Durham Miners Association funded to the tune of ten times its usual budget, in an act of resistance to the current right-wing politics of England.

and I totally understand why people love Pride and want to talk about it! but Pride is about events that took place 40 years ago, and while they are still very important (as you can see from their mention in the DMA's original post), I think it's really important that we keep this in its context as something that's happening now.

this is not queer history. this is current, of-the-moment solidarity at a time when many would say that the radical trade unions of the North-East died when the mines closed, and when the North-East has gone from being associated with radical labour politics to being associated with Brexit, Reform, and the swing to the nationalist right.

and while I can't police how people tag this post, and I don't mean to say people can't or shouldn't tag it as Pride (2014), it's happening enough that I just really need to say this. this is not (just) about what happened in 1985. this is about what is happening in 2026.
