Laura: wow the stars are beautiful tonight

Almanzo: you know who else is beautiful?

Laura: your brown Morgan team, Prince and Lady

Almanzo, crying tears of joy and already pulling out the engagement ring: you’re so gosh darn right

idk how to feel about "spiritually israeli" not bc i care about israelis feelings lmao but bc i dont know why we're making it a meme

jeanritchie

like i just saw a post saying "dog people are spiritually israeli" which kind of feels like you don't take the fact that israel is committing genocide very seriously and you just hate them bc they're cringe not bc they're killing people. like "dog people are nazis" doesnt make any sense. would you be saying that. no you wouldn't. it's both making light of an active genocide from within the imperial core which is disgusting and also kind of just feels like you're saying "haha jews are corny capitalist culture thieves and that's why i hate israel not because they've killed a million innocent people in two years and forced several million more out of their homes in less than a century" which like. groundbreaking

hi everyone! if this post resonated with you or if you want to reblog it can you reblog a version with my friend abood's gofundme? his entire family are suffering at the hands of israel and his little sister is extremely ill from malnutrition and i am very scared for them all. if we're going to talk theoretically about these things we should also put our money where our mouth is and help the people affected. <3 thanks guys

I love Pattie Gonia's stuff! I hope they're gonna continue doing fun stuff like this, but I doubt there will be official collaborations again for awhile.

thoughts on the casting and trailer of tlw movie? who are you most excited to see on screen and is there anything that disappointed you/you wish they did or cast differently?

The trailer was kinda weak in my opinion but that doesnt mean the movie is gonna be weak. I still have hope.

I think I like pretty much the entire cast with exception of buff Stebbins (no hate on the actor though) and maybe Olson. I thought the decision to cast a black actor to play Baker was weird considering the character was a nightrider in the book, but Tut Nyuot really did give Baker vibes in the trailer so I accept this cast decision.

Blond Barkovitch also caught me by surprise but when I saw him being annoying as shit in the trailer I knew he still had a bit of the old Barkovitch in him.

For the last question. I wish they kept the iconic outfits of book walkers in the movie. Stebbins' purple pants and green sweater, Garraty's fatigue jacket, Baker's red striped shirt, etc, etc...

Also. Also. I have a feeling the director is going to Hunger Games-fy the story. He already changed Garraty's backstory to the point he's a completely different character now. There's no heroic teen revolution in The Long Walk, it's a brutal and depressing book and I wish they kept it that way. But it seems like - when it comes to modern adapations these days - most directors try to soften up the source material because they're too afraid to offend or challenge the audience.

I think venus flytraps should be intelligent and ambulatory. I think they should get into the cupboards. I think they should purr when you pet them.

OP there is an entire Broadway musical explaining why you don’t want that

bbcwhereareyou

There’s a Broadway musical about them, too.

haymitch didn't have to eat so hard after every character he cares about died... like what do you mean "who will sing your songs now?" "wyatt callow who's luck just ran out. i can't believe how hard it hits me" "whoever lou lou was she's gone now" "buddy? somewhere beetee's heart breaks into fragments so small it can never be repaired" "goodbye maysilee donner, who i loathed, then grudgingly respected, then loved. not as a sweetheart or even a friend. a sister, i'd said." like alright

I finished reading Lonesome Dove the other day and now all I have is an even larger pile of cowboys to be sad over

I'm not sure I thought this through

Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally

Yes actually I will not shut up about how these foods are from the Americas/cultivated by the people there, and did NOT exist in Asia, Africa or Europe before the 1490s, there was an absolute food revolution going on in the 1500s. Whatever you think is traditional food for your country? Check again, you’ve maybe only been using that ingredient for maybe 500 years. Here is the full list of crops, it is very interesting :))

imagine if he found out about this by seeing it on the internet

Saw a cis (I think) woman talking about how cis women need trans women because if trans women don’t exist then being a woman isn’t a choice and is instead just something you’re consigned to for life.

I’ve been thinking about it all day because I agree but I feel like there’s more to it than that.

Idk. Gotta think more.

fleshengine

Trans men. Trans men are the other half of the equation. In order for womanhood to be a choice, you need people who choose it and people who choose to leave it.

If trans men aren’t part of it then womanhood is something you can become but never leave. So shout out tboys I guess. (For the record this is reductive, I’m ignoring intersex people and enbies.)

dykepuffs

Nonbinary people existing is important, because they show that "womanhood" isn't just the dump pit for people who didn't want to be men, and that "manhood" isn't likewise just the dump pit for people who didn't want to be women - that the people choosing to use the words "man" and "manhood" and likewise "woman/womanhood" for themselves are choosing them for the love of the game, not for lack of other options.
