the funniest part of that classic ‘39 year old reylo is harassed by An Anti in public’ fake story is how like, yeah it obviously is an imaginary scenario of them Owning someone but they didnt even have it be a situation where it was like, evenly matched. like this 39 year old woman’s power fantasy involves them roasting a middle schooler. WITH the help of said middleschoolers mother

having offline colleagues is really funny because I had one of them say to me did you know people write their own stories about Star Wars? like they don’t publish it they just post it online for free? And I’m like yeah man that’s nuts right

forget medieval peasants dying after drinking mountain dew if I told my extremely normie office colleagues about the brony cum jar they would be sent to the hospital

opened an epub of “unmasking autism: discovering the new faces of neurodiversity” by devon price and got punched in the face by the first paragraph. off to a great start

[jinxpologist]

“Parents or grandparents who themselves have Autism spectrum traits dismiss the child’s complaints, claiming that everybody suffers from the social stress, sensory sensitivities, stomach issues, or cognitive fuzziness they themselves experience.“

this is hysterical to me because i read out a list of autism traits to my mother while fighting to get assessed and she said “well if that’s autism then i’m autistic too” with a straight fucking face

I think an important instinct you have to build up when you read/watch sci-fi is discerning which things are givens. If Arrival tells you that the alien language is atemporal, it is, that's not a puzzle for you to pick apart, it's a prerequisite to getting the rest of the story. When I talk sci-fi with people who don't consume a lot of it this seems to be a thing they get hung up on.

[lew-basnight]

“But why—“ because it make story go. “But I don’t understand what—“ because that’s how the society works. I told you the important parts, the parts that are relevant to the story. I’m not interested in writing a 200-page speculative history Re the entire course of galactic civilization to explain why it’s rude at dinner time to eat before the ambassador eats. “But I don’t understand how (whatever) works—“ it works because it’s science fiction and that’s how it works. The propulsion systems work because the story requires interstellar travel.

I am more interested in the people and the events and the weird ideas. The weird ideas are just weird ideas, this made up fiction story isn’t a thesis statement predicting why cockroaches will be skilled surgeons 10,000 years in the future.

[sacrificethemtothesquid]

I think this is really important for writers, too. I know I get hung up on worldbuilding details and it's good to have a reminder that I don't need to reinvent DNA just for an alien to have green skin.

I recently found out why my mom would never sleep around me when I was a kid. Like she’d never let herself take naps or sleep if I was awake, ever. Or if she did, she would lock her bedroom door. So when I was 6, I was asleep in my bed in the middle of the night when I hear a loud bang, like a pot being dropped and come out to the living room to see my mom standing by the window, with just a huge pile of spaghetti all over the sill, and a pot on the ground, and I ’m like “Are you gonna eat all that?” And ya’ll she get’s BIG MAD and yells at me and chases me to my room but then a little while later a bunch of cops show up and ask me a bunch of random ass questions about my art? Like this one cop lady keeps asking me to draw dragons for her?! And they seem mad as hell

I didn’t want to get arrested so I just never asked my mom for spaghettis after that. Lesson, learned. Don’t ask mom for spaghettis or she’ll call the damn police on you. 

So I have this memory in my head, and it goes unquestioned until I say it outload for the first time a few months back and as soon as I say the words “When I was six, my mom called the cops on me for asking for spaghettis” My adult logic slams into place and is like “Hang on. Your mother definatly did not call the police on a 6 year old for asking for spaghetti.” 

So obviously that’s not what really went down. I call up my mom to tell her how I remember it and on top of her figuring out why her kid has always been really cagey around spaghettis for the last 3 decades she tells me what really happened. 

So on that night, a man tried to break into our house through the front window. It was just my mom, and her kids so she did what she felt she had too and shot him in the head. He’d been wearing a helmet, which landed on the floor under the window.

Now I just want ya’ll to put yourselves in my moms shoes for a minute here. This woman has just taken a human life. The trauma of that- the instant agony, the panic, the guilt, the fear- all of it hitting her at once, her only solace the knowledge that her children are safe. She protected her daughters. No matter the cost to her soul- her children are safe.

Then she looks up and sees her six year old staring at the inside of this mans head before saying “Are you gonna eat all that?”

We are dealing with emotional and intellectual three year-olds.

[ralfmaximus]

I keep thinking about the libertarians who took over a small town, eliminated & ignored all safety rules, then got eaten by bears.

[gryphonablaze]

sorry what

Oof, sorry: A Libertarian Walks Into A Bear

Holy crap the article is WILD

[yuri-alexseygaybitch]

idk I think this new era of Disney systemically poaching non-white cultures to be made into Representation Movies all directed by some white guy named like Laird Bannister III is kinda fucked up and sinister

[yuri-alexseygaybitch]

For everyone saying “we need more movies that are LatAm people telling their own stories!” I have great news that every country south of the United States has its own film industry

[redchrominance]

love the implication that c*nada doesn't have its own film industry

[yuri-alexseygaybitch]

I was talking about Latin American countries specifically but also you’re right it doesn’t

[doctorcrusher]

if your reaction to literally every single action movie with a major female character is “wow it’s so great that they made her kick ass while still being pretty and feminine” maybe consider whether the dreaded gruff manly butch female action hero you’re so sick of seeing in the media actually exists
