so i just double checked and yes, the 1855 toronto circus clown riots DID happen right outside my old college. 

as in if i were sent back in time from the spot i stood every day to catch the streetcar, i’d be treated to the sight of firemen and circus clowns beating the shit out of each other whilst in and just outside a brothel

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

for clarification, yes, the clowns won the initial fight. 

[gallusrostromegalus]

I’m sorry the 1855 Toronto WHAT?

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

I mean. It’s not as funny of a story as the title would lead you to believe, it’s more of an acab story than anything else bc apparently the butthurt firefighters who got their asses clown kicked stirred up shit the next day, hence the term riots rather than barfights.

back then firefighters were privatized, individualized companies and both them and the cops were in the same small but violent protestant groups that got all the important jobs in the city, largely known as the Orange Order.

Which is why there was barely (if any) police intervention when shit hit the fan day of. The firefighters had rooted up a bunch of their pals from the orange club on a vengeance warpath and the police took every effort to stall intervention. Apparently it took the mayor showing up and reportedly preventing a fireman from clown murder by prying an axe from his hands to start shutting the whole situation down

And apparently this, in accumulation with a bunch of other bullshit that involved anti-catholic riots and I think a bank robbery (?) was the impetus of widespread police reform. Like complete overhaul kinda reform. Like every-single-person-fired-and-replaced-potentially-multiple-times kinda reform.

Which is also why I can say clowns were an integral part of 19th century police reform. 

[gallusrostromegalus]

Well that’s a very disappointing start to the story but I am very reassured that my extreme buffoonery and poor survival instincts are no serious impediment to my  21st century Police Reform Efforts.

[hymnsofheresy]

i just woke up from a dream where i was being interrogated by a bunch of people asking me if “furbies are kosher” firstly…. im not jewish. secondly……..what the fuck

[hymnsofheresy]

please stop sending me asks pertaining to the kosher status of furbies. i really do not know. this was just a manifestation of my subconscious. im assuming that they are not kosher because furbies aren’t even food. but who knows! ask a rabbi, if you must. 

[natashatroyka-deactivated201902]

Jew here! Furbies are actually worse than unkosher–they are not permissible as food, even for gentiles. This is because the Torah teaches that it is forbidden for any human to eat the meat of an animal that is still alive, and the Furby cannot die.

[hymnsofheresy]

hi this is the most ominous description of a furby i have ever heard

I AM BEGGING YOU TO WATCH THIS WITH SOUND 😂😂😂

[imaginedsoldier]

This guy at my office is talking about how some ~20 unionized workers that operate bridges shut down a huge chunk of the city by lifting the bridges then leaving on a boat until their demands were met and I forgot I was supposed to say "oh that's fucked up" because I was immediately like sick that's dope as hell lmao

Think about how much power labor has. These guys working in big positions talking about the kind of damage some "high school dropouts who ganged up" can do with an edge of fear in their voice

Like sorry you got punked out by these guys you think are below you bitchboy you dont sound very in charge lmao

Kidding (2018)

This is called

Shaynas Sequence

[arkham]

a lot of people are tagging this with “film” and “movies” or talking about the magic of moviemaking but i really want to point out that Kidding is a TV show.

i feel it’s important to make this distinction because there’s a common (sometimes subconscious) thought that TV is a lesser form of digital art compared to film, but television, especially recently, has been phenomenal and it deserves proper credit as a storytelling medium, as well as a craft just as capable of amazing work like this

[stonebiscuit]

This is fucking INCREDIBLE.

It has happened.

I have purchased Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus

Will provide updates

[headspace-hotel]

IT’S HERE

[headspace-hotel]

I’m going to start it pretty soon. I’m for some reason locked out of my student account and email and IT was no help as usual, so what is there to do except read a parody romance novel written specifically to spite J.K. Rowling?

Chuck Tingle has more or less become a meme because of his bizarre titles and covers and because of the Hugo fiasco, but I’ve heard relatively little about what it’s like to actually read his work and I frankly have no idea what to expect or if I should go into this with expectations at all

[headspace-hotel]

This book is…surprisingly easy to take seriously as a book. I don’t know what I’m trying to say. But it’s like. A Book and not just an extended joke. Like on some level it’s not particularly terribly written nor does the plot like, completely exist in service to the…whatever humor is derived from the self-aware absurdity of the premise

[headspace-hotel]

AFSGFBCHH??

I love that he’s not even described as a humanoid dinosaur. He’s just sexy goth tattooed Severus snape and he’s also a parasaurolophus and we are left to just figure it out

[headspace-hotel]

I have to talk about what is going on with the worldbuilding. Like this is a parody. Of Harry Potter. But there’s an entirely different magic system and….everything???

In summary

there doesn’t appear to be a statute of secrecy type thing magic is just fully integrated with the modern world and modern technology

Harriet is a wizard, but that means that she creates spells by typing them out in long manuscripts, which on one level is a nod to the book publishing industry but on another level is kind of interesting in of itself

there’s a??? spellcasting industry??

there are different types of magic users other than wizards, and they appear to be based on the d&d classes

or at least, bards exist and they are distinct from wizard

the dinosaur is a bard

Bigfeet exist and they are integrated with modern society

there are sentient motorcycles and no one finds this in any way unusual

THE DINOSAUR IS A BARD?!?!?!

[headspace-hotel]

…Warlocks in this world get their powers from a pact with Chuck Tingle

[headspace-hotel]

The fourth wall break is killing me.

[headspace-hotel]

The sexy dinosaur is also trans

[headspace-hotel]

As much as I love skillfully crafted satire that takes deft jabs at the flaws of the thing it’s lampooning, there’s also something charming about how every character in this book has a name blatantly and hilariously derived from a Harry Potter character regardless of how most of their roles in the story barely resemble anything like characters in Harry Potter.

…You know, I’m not even sure Chuck Tingle has read Harry Potter.

[headspace-hotel]

I’m back to reading. Does chocolate milk have intoxicating effects on sentient motorcycles??

…sentences I never thought I’d write

[headspace-hotel]

um im lowkey getting feels from this like there are some genuinely emotionally resonant bits in here what the fuck

[headspace-hotel]

chuck tingle’s magic system is unironically better than jk Rowling’s I’m sorry

[headspace-hotel]

I’m so sorry to sample the sex scene but. “sexualis secondus” just killed me. I have been pronounced dead by this book. im obliterated this is indescribable

[headspace-hotel]

I.

I literally have no idea how to describe what I’m experiencing right now. Like this is a somewhat poorly edited parody adult dinosaur romance novel but. It’s genuinely?? Creative?? In a lot of ways???? And there’s a lot of heart to it, a lot of genuine powerful messages about identity and about art and creativity and the fourth-wall-breaking device is…I can’t explain it because that would spoil it but it’s actually pulled off so well?????

This is not like, a humorous joke story this guy did for Being a Little Shit and Spite reasons, it’s like actually in its themes and message a genuine “fuck you” to j.k. Rowling’s transphobia even though it’s this absolutely wild janky batshit story and I have never experienced anything like this in my LIFE

I did not expect my adhd little heart to be touched by understanding of my fears about creativity and writing and its place in my life. Not like this. What the fuck. What the fuck.
