idk why everyone is saying that the etsy witch spell killed charlie kirk. Obviously that's not true. We don't need to invoke supernatural explanations. Clearly the Etsy witch was the shooter

i know this is an extremely basic baby’s first feminism observation but it does genuinely drive me crazy how for the most part stories about men are presumed to be universal and stories about women are About Women

I watched this without sound and it was just so happy and joyful I knew it could only get better with the music

And I was right

I have NO IDEA what I just watched but my life has been enriched and my day has been made

[pjharvey]

i'm just continually shocked by how many people on this website do not consume any art or media by black people. if you are into almost any genre of popular music at all you have to go out of your way to do that

[seasonalmoss]

Taking this as an opportunity to promote one of my new top favorite artists

Guys please their music is absolutely phenomenal and amazing, genuinely I can’t describe how much I love their music, like something about it reminds me of the kind of game soundtracks and anime soundtracks I grew up with mashed together with jazz thrown in and it’s just SO GOOD!! I’m pretty sure one of their songs got pretty popular on TikTok? Im not sure how mainstream this guy is yet?? Maybe their super duper popular and I just don’t know, I found out about them mostly through Warrior cats animations and edits people had done of my fandom with their songs, so I’m not really well versed on what’s mainstream or not, unless it’s like SUPER DUPER mainstream you know?

[cryptotheism]

its it's important to lie in bed and make yourself as scared as possible all the time

[cryptotheism]

Sorry man I can't come out tonight. I'm gonna lie in the dark taking stimulants and switching between social media news feeds until I feel like throwing up.

[cryptotheism]

Stress yourself out until you need to smoke to sleep. Get crossfaded on an empty stomach. Find people panic-reposting screenshots of deceptively worded New York Times headlines and get into fights over aeticles you haven't read. The garden must be cleansed and you are the firey sword of god.

[cryptotheism]

Every time you think about spending time with your loved ones in real life; don't. It's important that you post simmering reactions to probably overblown political news for everyone to see. Go limp and check your notifications for another hour.

Pat Ningewance, a first language Ojibwe speaker, once commented that it was awfully hard to effectively translate a lot of English poetry into Ojibwe because there is no way to say things like “her slim arms” bc the only word in Ojibwe for anything like that basically sounds like “her arms were just skin and bones” while meanwhile there is a whole word that means “beautifully fat” (minogaamo) bc that was way more valued in Ojibwe culture than being skinny, which probably meant you were malnourished

[wiigiwaamcore]

For those expressing interest in Pat's work, I recommend her introduction and translation of Anishinaabe writer George Kenny's poems and short stories, Gaawiin Mawisiiwag Anishinaabeg / Indians Don't Cry, and the book she wrote of her mother's storytelling, Gii-nitaa-aadisooke. The second link goes to the publishing company she owns, which also has one of the best available textbooks for learning Ojibwe, titled Gookom's Language.

[wiigiwaamcore]

OMG I almost forgot, perhaps her magnum opus: Aakoziiwigamig, an Ojibwe-language radio drama set in a hospital where ABSOLUTELY BONKERS things happen constantly. Obviously if you don't know Ojibwe, you won't understand the audio, but they have the script transcribed and translated, so you can listen and follow along (and I HIGHLY recommend listening to at least one episode). They also have short language lessons you can use alongside each episode.

I'm not kidding about this show. Every single man in it is a worthless sleeze. There is a newborn baby who can talk like an old man. Kidnappers break in to the hospital in the first and second episode. There is potential arson. Someone wins the lottery. Seriously at least go read the episode descriptions and give it a chance.

It is so hysterically funny to me that homophobic Christians behave like marriage is a Christianity exclusive concept and that is why gay marriage shouldn’t exist. Genuinely out there acting like Jesus invented marriage and it’s not a cultural universal that has existed since before the beginning of written language. Not just in societies that practiced monotheistic abrahamic religions, it was a thing in Mesopotamia. You do not get to act like the Christian concept of marriage is the only valid concept of marriage. It entered the game late.

[ston-rampler]

Clue: The Movie's multiple endings are fucking classic and i will stand by that fact until the day that i die, but hearing that they only played one ending each in the theatrical release is the funniest fucking thing ever. imagine seeing a great movie and going to talk about it with your friends/family/coworkers but none of you can agree on how it ended. and they did this in 1985, the absolute madmen

There's plenty of criticism to be had about morrowind's guild questlines but one of the most impressive parts of them is the indirect storytelling. The imperial guilds are all horribly corrupt, but this isn't necessarily enunciated so much as just, presented without commentary.

The mages guild steward in Balmora is sending you to execute gang hits on competition and personal vendettas on past colleagues. The steward in Ald-Ruhn is paying you to steal from the guild and shake down less respected stewards (read: racialized). There's two argonians in the whole guild, and one is stuck in a Telvanni dominated backwater with limited resources and no backing for his genuinely admirable research. The guildmaster is an idiot who was promoted out of Cyrodiil out of convenience to get him out of his superior's hair.

The fighters guild is similarly fucked up, because Eydis Fire-Eye and Sjoring Hard-Heart are in the pocket of the Camonna Tong and are having you do extortions, racketeering, and straight up gang hits on thieves guild members or their associates, random civilian business owners, and great house agents. The former guildmaster is acting as a double agent against the corrupt current guildmaster to help you usurp his authority once you prove you're honorable enough not to do extra-judicial murder for the man.

And like this is obviously The Point to some degree, the imperial guilds are corrupt and incompetent because they're disconnected from the heart of the empire and are left too much to their own devices in a nation that is fraught with conflicting political forces with heavy amounts of money being traded between large numbers of hands. But this isn't like, a direct line of dialogue that someone just says to you. If this were a weaker written game someone would just lay out the Moral Of The Story. To some extent it makes the whole of the game stronger that you're shown the corruption and inefficiency and allowed to conclude personally that oh shit the empire is really not a stabilizing force in this region and a lot of what it imports is graft and vice while purporting to bring peace and culture and democracy wait sorry this is Cyrodiil not the United States.

In your last conversation with Caius Cosades during the main quest he says he thinks the empire is going to crumble soon. When Uriel Septim dies all hell is gonna break loose. Thinking about it from his perspective as a buried deep imperial agent, if this is the sort of system he has to work under day in and day out on the underbelly of Vvardenfell society, I can't say I'd disagree with him.

[theendingofthewordsisalmsivi]

Okay that's actually a fantastic point that I hadn't even thought of bc like yeah absolutely the only reason Caius hasn't gone out to get all that info himself before your arrival on Vvardenfell is because they need insurance against you. Like especially because, from a standpoint of damage control, they're going into this assuming you're either Nerevar reborn or good enough to fit the bill. Can you imagine a reborn Nerevar gone rogue and establishing themself as a political enemy? Like the cost to the empire that would cause would be enough to execute Caius five times over.
