What the fuck

[dre759]

I remember why I haven’t read this book in a good number of days. It’s because reading it is genuinely kind of hard from a “I cannot stomach this” type of why. I have to be in the right head space.

at least steven yeun gets it

[proxima-bee]

they got steven yeun to go in the studio and gag and whimper on it into the mic

saw someone's invincible fan animation where they had mark nolan and oliver take turns beating up anissa and they made sure to make anissa browner and fuller lipped than she was in the actual scene in question and it's like. oh wow you acknowledged that the show made her browner and weaker and so you in fact made her so weak a literal tween boy could beat her up. wow. it was so epic of you to animate the wasian boy the white abusive father and the literal child beating up the big lipped brown woman you finally made the animation that healed survivors everywhere now people can touch the small of my back without my having a panic attack thanks to your epic wholesome chungus representation.

everytime i want something i should be shot in the head

[laterkiss]

wanting to get shot in the head for wanting something is also wanting

[proxima-bee]

honestly more than anything i just feel bad for sasha calle. like i have a modicum of confidence in how the show has portrayed the viltrumites so far that to ME anissa is a heavily redesigned character with a different skillset and ideology and potentially concomitant role in the narrative with little interesting hints suggesting forthcoming twists about her identity who is at this point the least violatory and violent in general of the viltrumites. but imagine being a brown queer woman who spent years deliberately cultivating a unique androgynous look and have dudebros be like “hey, look at this character! i think she's a rapist. and she looks like you. and that's hot." i think no matter what invincible fans should all die

[adastrabbit]

now now i know we hate pjackk but if were getting serious here it WAS a character sideblog run by a transfem & i genuinely have to assume thats why pjackk was banned in the first place. i hope we all know this is another case of staff nuking a popular transfem blogger & not just like "lol pjackk got killed because he sucks"

[adastrabbit]

frankly its a little bit crazy that the character sideblog is getting more attention than milk5 who is the real human person who got all her blogs banned & reinstated & banned again within the day. we need to get a little bit serious i think

posting isn't practice but one has to wonder what these people are like within their organizations (generously assuming they are in one) if a well-sourced and gently-worded slight pushback causes them to spiral for an entire day and hurl nonsensical epithets on them based on the most uncharitable interpretation possible of what the responder in question didn't say.

rereading parts of harrow the ninth and aauuuuggghhhuuaaaa this book makes me feel shrimp emotions each time

[eskildit]

"Did I sin, Lord? Did I kill two of my fathers that day?” I'm gonna THROW UP.

[eskildit]

harrow sees John as a father but more importantly she compares him against her own father.

When the Emperor touched you, your body recalled, unbidden, each rare and terrible touch committed by your mother and father.

she compares John to the man who never loved or cared for her and who gently instructed her how to tie her own noose. John is like a father to her. But she receives no comfort from that feeling.

How would history change if John f Kennedy was killed by registeel

[psychomaniac14]

well first off, pokemon would be real

[paperandpencilsandskips]

Only registeel would be real in this hypothetical

Pope Leo XIV wrote 42.3K words on human dignity in the age of AI. (But Ellipsus has written over 65K words on the topic since 2023. 💪)

Solidarity is a weird thing… all of a sudden you’re seeing the Pope on your dash and the tea is… piping hot? (To offset the Vatican.va link, here's a tl;dr from The Onion.) ... Look at him go!

(Disagreements with his Holiness aside, it’s great to see a powerful figure power taking the side of the people.) ... EDIT: Wake up babe, a new Inquisition just dropped - apparently, not even the Pope can escape being wrongly accused by AI "verifiers."

[fus-mar-hoz]

the catholic church covers up child sexual abuse, lobbies for clemency toward abusive priests, bans gender-affirming care in its hospitals, blocks divorce access across entire countries, and tightens its position on abortion while hundreds of thousands of people are affected by those positions in ways that are immediate and material. these translate into denied healthcare, into legal systems shaped by ecclesiastical lobbying, into abuse survivors who were systematically failed and then watched their institution ask for mercy on behalf of the people who harmed them.

filing all of that under mere "disagreements" signals how unprincipled this reaction you perform is. this framing only holds if you've already decided that opposition to AI is the only relevant axis, and the actual politics, the actual institutional record, the actual people on the receiving end of church policy, gets brushed aside because it's inconvenient to the posts you want to make.

a position that evaluates institutions by whether they've said something useful about your issue, and brackets everything else as secondary, has no mechanism for discerning if praising what is among the most reactionary institution of our time making one statement that aligns with your interests while continuing to cause serious harm in every direction its power reaches is a good choice. the reflex of single-issue politics ends up celebrating an institution with a documented record of what it does with the dignity of people actually vulnerable to it, on the basis that it produced however many words useful to the discourse.

the only progressive thing a pope can do is resign, and that holds regardless of who occupies the position, because the institution is what causes the harm. no encyclical changes what the institution does with its hospitals, its political influence, or its internal handling of abuse. celebrating it because it produced 42,000 words that give the anti-AI discourse more ammunition treats the people harmed by church policy as acceptable collateral in a masturbatory culture war about technology.

“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.
