sometimes I think about how far we still have to go with consent

my worst relatives try to sneak meat or meat products into my food despite the fact that I'm a vegetarian

my ex's brother gave his mother an edible without her knowledge and when she got freaked out and paranoid they laughed, and people I've told that go "yeah that's shitty but it's just weed"

when I go to the doctor and ask them to describe what they are going to do before touching me they get frustrated

when I ask a friends of a friend who is a small influencer to keep me out of frame in videos they film for social media in public they look at me like I've pissed in their cereal

idk man, we've got a long way to go.

read some good analysis of obsession (2026) and it really confirms to me that movie is showing us how and why straight men’s fantasies of the ideal gf are horrifying. it’s not even primarily about rape or sexual coercion, although those things are there. straight men don’t know how to build a connection from genuine curiosity about another human’s experience on this earth, from mutual respect and admiration. they fundamentally cannot do that as long as they refuse to see women as people. the horror is misogyny, but the rape allegory isn't even the most horrifying part. the horror is that nikki was never a person in bear’s mind. the horror is being made into a concept, a prize, and not being allowed to be a person. bear does that to nikki, with the wish, and then the nikki entity does the same thing to him in turn.

Just out of curiosity, what's up with the anti-Richard Silken reblog? I've gathered that he said something rude to a woman on Twitter but what exactly happened? (I looked it up but couldn't find anything)

Hey anon!

I've seen some off colour fan interactions from RS online that I ultimately think are petty, mean, and inappropriate behaviour from a grown arse adult tbh

Do I think that ppl online can be weird, entitled, and parasocial? yes absolutely! Do I think that someone asking if his aids era poetry was inspired by their cop yaoi is so unbelievably tone deaf and disconnected from reality ? also hell yes! But do I think that RS needs to constantly reply to tweets and continuously engage with social media stuff? No dude ! imo, he needs to log off

Anyway I have no proof or screenshots this is straight off the dome so if smts wrong, I'm blaming my brain injury ✌🏼

#ask #asks #hes not funding a national scheme to ruin ppls lives but he is kinda giving jkr energy in that he feels terminally unhealthily online and #just idk perpetuating a cycle of miserable bullshit . and yeah he's been particularly aggressive to woman and polite to dudes .#weird one really. we gotta get these older folks off the internet and in to a knitting circle imo #anyway I don't think this helps bc I'm not providing evidence but it felt rude to ignore the question!

it is still incredibly funny that the socially anxious guy who puts up emotional walls in his relationships was locked in an enclosed space with his best friend with zero privacy for years and is now going to be the center of attention for the rest of his life bc he is an Alien. I’m sorry grace but the universe refuses to let you have a comfort zone. it’s gonna be public speaking forever

“War, famine, pestilence, and death. Astrophage is literally the apocalypse. The Hail Mary is all we have now. I’ll make any sacrifice to give it even the tiniest additional chance of success.” – Eva Stratt, page 431

anemia is a really funny deficiency to have when your buddy is an alien who's mostly made of metal

I looked at the readout for my latest blood test and sighed.

"New problem, question?" Rocky asked. We were about ninety days out from 40-Eridani's heliopause, and it seemed like new nutritional problems were popping up every day. Probably from me mixing more taumoeba into the coma slurry to make it last longer.

"Yes," I said. "Apparently I'm becoming anemic."

"New word, question?"

"Anemic. Means my body isn't getting enough iron."

"♪♫♪♩♩♬!" he said, his carapace shooting up. "I fix!" He scampered off down toward the dormitory.

I stared at where he disappeared into the floor. That... sounded a lot like him giving me his word for "anemic". But that couldn't be it. We haven't discovered any overlap of nutritional needs of humans and Eridians, besides a base need for glucose and proteins. And what did he mean by "I fix"?

In retrospect, I really should have seen what was about to happen. However, the brain fog from my various nutritional deficiencies was really starting to settle in, so I just continued to stare in confusion.

I was startled out of it by Rocky yelling. "Grace! Come to airlock! Grace!"

He continued to call my name and pester me even as I moved toward the ladder, and I know he can see me moving. "Alright, alright! I'm coming!"

As I got down the ladder, Rocky became even more frantic, tapping on his side of the airlock. Inside was what looked like some sort of pouch. "Take, take!"

"It has to cool down first!"

"Is cold. You take!"

How long was I staring at the wall, that whatever it was had already cooled nearly two hundred degrees? "Alright, I take!"

I took the pouch from the airlock, and opened it. Inside was a bunch of... metal chips? Each one was about the size of the tip of my pinkie finger. "Rocky, what is this?"

He tilted his carapace in a way I've come to recognize as pride. "Is Eridian supplement. Cannot make you vitamins on Hail Mary, but have iron. Eat, before react with oxygen in you air!"

It took a second before things clicked into place. "Wh- Oxidation doesn't happen that quickly-" I shook my head, dislodging the errant thought. "Rocky, I can't eat this."

"Why not, question? Does not have thallium, or mercury, or any other 'heavy metals'," — yes, he did the air quotes, with three hands — "is just iron."

"Just because it won't poison me, doesn't mean my body can use it. It needs to be in... certain salts... I think." That sounded right, but information recall was becoming extremely difficult these days. I picked up one of the chips; it's very thin. "I might even have to worry about this cutting up my intestines..."

Rocky was uncharacteristically silent for a moment, so I looked back up at him. He was staring at me (don't ask how I know he was staring, I just do) in disbelief. Then he threw up two arms in exasperation. "Human body useless!"

I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing.

Okay, yes, I do think that Stratt being a woman had something to do with her being chosen to lead the project, and therefore her becoming a scapegoat later. However, I think people forget that there’s an element to why she was chosen that is also super chilling.

Stratt is just not a likable person to those around her. In the book, they list her being blunt, having no sense of humor, and rigid morality as part of the reason they chose her in the first place, and in the film, she’s just so far on a different social wave length from the other characters that no one is able to really get into her headspace. Even if the person in question doesn’t know about her power and they things she did, she’s shown to just weird people out in general. To lead the project, they chose someone who is perceived as bitter and dry and cold to everyone because even when that person has the best of intentions, it is an easy person to hate.

I think that also adds another element to the karaoke scene, and to a lesser degree, the historical studies scene in the book. They’re moments where she has the option to express herself in a way that is distinctly her, and therefore, the characters have the uncomfortable realization that she does not want to be a dictator with a rotting moral compass.

(Yes I headcanon her as autistic, and yes I am studying The French Revolution. Why do you ask?)
