i'm sorry but this is the only submission to this trend that i'll consider giving any thought to

[lady-raziel]

i say this with 100% sincerity: if you want to know who monica lewkinsky is, she's the person who deserves to be back in the white house more than any person alive and she should get full rights to execute any 1990s comedians of her choice by firing squad. she deserves to be on the $20 bill and have her own monument on the national mall, but instead she's happy with reclaiming the narrative. she should have been america's people's princess instead of diana. we don't deserve her.

[strangermask]

Okay, so I did google her and the scandal you mentioned in the tags, and I have two things to say

1. Holy shit

2. Yeah, I think she has the best one for the trend

[s-leary]

Somehow, it is one thing to know that people born after 9/11 are now adults, but it is another entirely to understand that there is a cohort of adults who don’t know who Monica Lewinsky is.

[vaspider]

Yeaaaaah.

[biglawbear]

I've seen fake Monica tweets before so I double checked this one and I'm delighted to report that it's real

[blood-fang]

Please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't she get famous for blowing the president? That's about as much as I was ever told about her

[krypti]

Yup. She was perfectly willing and able to walk away. She chose to take part. She's been riding that train ever since.

[greekwords]

… she was an intern at the White House. Imagine being an intern at the White House right out of college decades before the current wave of feminism. And the *president of the nation* asks you to blow him in the Oval Office. And you want to work in the white house as your full-time job. Do you deny him? Suppose you don’t want to do it. Can you deny him?

I’m thrilled by the modern-day attitudes about this. Genuinely, the way this would go in 2024 is that the intern could say no and tell the press what happened and half of America would support them. But when I was a kid? No way!

And Monica Lewinsky didn’t ride a train to fame from this situation. She was America’s laughingstock and punching bag for twenty years. She was the butt of every sex joke and the least respected person that everyone knew the name of. She couldn’t live any sort of remotely normal life or do the things that she wanted to do because every single person, including all members of the press and every comedian, was out to get her. Every “cancelled” celebrity nowadays pretends they’ve been treated the way Monica Lewinsky was and you know what, she’s right that they wouldn’t last an hour in her shoes.

I’m very happy about the cultural shift that has allowed her to come back into the public again. You have to understand how recent this shift was.

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

Thank you, Flossie. 💜💜💜

[beemovieerotica]

she has since passed away (pneumonia during the height of covid in 2020) and I just want to say what a huge loss this is. she was still actively consulting with scientific research, and if you work in the sciences you know that people in the field keep working, advising, and providing their decades of insight up until their death. her knowledge was invaluable to us. and still she saved millions of lives.

Marcille's reaction to Chimera!Falin breastily boobing her way out of her shirt becomes that much funnier when you remember that she literally inspected Falin's tits like five episodes ago

[troythecatfish]

[skarchomp]

thinking about falin touden breasting boobily as she turns someone's head into tomato paste. i dont think they have a name for the disease i hauve.

[sanwrote]

the laios/toshiro conflict is super well written ("let's honor falin's death" vs "i will stop at nothing to bring her back"). but also it's so fucking funny that this happens amidst the sudden reveal that your extremely beloved autistic main character has been slowly driving an asian man nuts through microaggressions.

[themeatiscatfood]

she was just a little silly
