Do I have the body of a fifth grader? Perhaps. Would I still beat the shit out of Reginald? Absolutely.

“You should not date an Aries!”

Bitch if I have learned anything from life, it’s that I would never date my own mother.

They used to trade postcards of lynchings and since that’s a bit “taboo” now they circulate pictures and videos of Black people being executed by police so miss me

Also that painting is called “Judith and Holofernes.” The biblical story was a common theme for Renaissance paintings.

Here’s Caravaggio’s version:

Artemisia Gentileschi‘s version (shown below) is known for being particularly gruesome. It was painted after she was raped. Quite unusually, she participated in the trial against her rapist (and was tortured during the trail to ensure she told the truth.)

Kehinde Wiley did an entire series about the representation of women in classical Western art, of which this piece was a part. This NY Mag profile from 2012 is really interesting if you want to learn more.

Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”

Honestly disturbing how many of my posts criticizing media get responses along the lines of “well, guess I’m not watching/reading/listening to this now :/”

That is not a healthy way to view media. You all know that, right? It is not healthy to completely brush something off because of criticism from one person, and it’s certainly not healthy to interpret that criticism as saying that something is irredeemable.

When I criticize media, I’m not saying “this is evil and terrible and disgusting and no one should ever like it or enjoy it”. I’m saying “this has some issues, same as anything else, and we should discuss those issues in a healthy and constructive way.” I am telling people to come to their conclusions using the information and opinions I’ve shared combined with their own experiences and opinions on the matter.

God. Stop “cancelling” Animal Crossing or Percy Jackson or whatever and just learn to be critical of the media you consume instead of accepting everything, positive or negative, at face value.

trope subversions i love in Howl’s Moving Castle

Sophie’s internalised fairytale gender norms and self-imposed expectations, which Howl later directly challenges her about

Howl initially appearing to be a straight out Byronic Hero until you realise that he’s actually a straight out parody of a Byronic Hero and directly contradicts everything that was ever impractical, one-dimensional, or unbelievable about Byronic Heroes; I can never ever get over this it’s so great

How often in fairytales like Snow White the heroine arrives in a new household and takes up cleaning responsibilities dutifully - Sophie arrives in a new household, bullies everyone into letting her become their cleaner, and then cleans relentlessly, forcibly, and with angry determination

Everyone talking about Howl as if he has a tragic backstory and then it turns out he comes from a middle class suburban family in Wales

thebaconsandwichofregret

As someone from a middle class suburban family in Wales let me tell you that this is absolutely a tragic backstory

Can’t wait to have an extremely offline boyfriend who is 6’5’’ to whom I say “hey do ever think about how 100 gecs is the mindless self indulgence of gen z” and he picks me up and puts me over his shoulder and takes me to the top of a mountain

GOD MADE TRANS PEOPLE FOR THE SAME REASON HE MADE GRAPES BUT NOT WINE WHO ARE WE TO DENY THIS DIVINE ALCHEMY OF THE SELF?

Image Id: a photo of a page in a book that reads “as my friend Julian puts it, only half winkingly: “god blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason god made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation”.” End Id.

Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’

this is the definition of college.

Literally I was writing a paper on Asian salt water crocodiles, like a simple about them paper for a college class, and I started noticing some inconsistencies in the scientific papers I was sourcing and I accidentally discovered that the crocodile has been misdiagnosed as least concerned on the endangered species list when they should be classified as endangered and now my professor is having me write a formal report to the international Red List to have them reclassified and all I wanted to do was write this paper on an animal I thought was cool and now I’m considered an expert on this species…

this is how it works half of esteemed biologists trip and fall into their specialty while pursuing something else. one lecturer i just went to started as a biochemist researching antibiotics and discovered that crocodiles change colors based on environment and now he has 30+ crocs in his yard for research purposes and he’s just like… “wait… i’m a chemist…”
