Just an introduction
Hello there! Currently, I’m just here to like and support the works of artists I’m a fan of, so please don’t expect too much - at least for now. :-)
Cheers!
ETA (17/05/2026): Continue to not expect too much, folks, I’m still mostly just browsing through others’ posts and reblogging when I agree with them - *or* when I may not agree, but still think it’s something worth discussing!
Also, I’ll reblog 18+ posts without a care; forewarning is fair warning.
*kicks open the door*
HEY I JUST RELEASED A NEW BOOK
SWORD AND SORCERY NOVELLA WITH AN OLD MAN MC
THERE'S VIOLENCE! AND RUINS! AND VIOLENCE! AND EVIL MAGIC! AND VIOLENCE! AND A GOD-TWINK! I'm not kidding about the violence. I write horror primarily and you can tell.
You can get Island of the Baboon God on Itchio! And a few other places but it's on Itch first. I'll put it on Kofi and Payhip later. Just let me yell first, okay?
It's $4.50 USD but if you send me an ask off anon, I'll send you a copy in exchange for an honest review anywhere you want.
A sword and sorcery adventure
COME SEE!
Apparently today is Loving Day, named after Richard and Milford Loving, the interracial couple whose lawsuit against the state of Virginia resulted in interracial marriage becoming legal in the United States. And so this day was made as a holiday for interracial relationships. I think that's very cool and deserves a tumblr post. Happy Loving Day to everyone in interracial relationships!
her name was Mildred, not Milford, but otherwise, very much worth noting that Loving v. Virginia was decided in 1967, after the couple had been sentenced to a year in prison for “cohabiting as man and wife, against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth” in 1959 (per Wikipedia, the sentence was suspended because they agreed to leave Virginia and not come back for 25 years). Additionally worth noting that Alabama continued to enforce their illegal anti-miscegenation act until 1970.
i like being a lesbian and all, but holy shit, men are so cool. i hope all men reading this have a wonderful day.

In one of my film classes last semester we had to tell a story in 3 pictures for a mini assignment so my friend and I did this
Happy 10 year anniversary to this post!
“It just means you have to work double as hard as most people!”
Well maybe I don’t WANT to work double as hard as abled people!! Maybe I deserve a BREAK!! Maybe I’ve been working MORE THAN double as hard for MY WHOLE LIFE and it’s led me to immense burnout & caused me to develop several MORE disabilities!! Maybe I should be ACCOMMODATED so I don’t have to KILL MY BODY AND BRAIN over trying to do what abled people can do!! Maybe I DON’T have to work double as hard!! Maybe if there’s the option to let me NOT work double as hard, I should have it, because I’m already working double as hard JUST TO SURVIVE!!
Why do you think disabled people deserve less rest than mentally & physically abled people?
I'd like to add an experience your post reminded me of:
When I was in psychological rehab, we had two Nordic walking groups, one fast and a longer distance, the other shorter and slower. Knowing myself, I chose the slower group.
20min into the walk, I'm gasping for air, everything aches and I can't keep up, as well as a few others. Because the group got nearly separated, the fastest people stopped for a while and waited for us. When we had just caught up, seeing the others resting, they decided it's time to move on. We protested, but the physiotherapist who led the group just shrugged and said something along the lines of 'it would be boring for the fast walkers to wait even more'
I'm sorry that my need for a break bores you. I'm sorry that your inability to adjust your walking speed even the slightest bit while I'm desperately trying to keep up, adjusting my walking speed to yours all the way, leads to me being completely exhausted and needing a break. A break that you just had, and that you deny me now.
Actually I'm not sorry. This is ableism.

She can take it
This is a very specific vague.
AHEM speaking as a grad student from the University of Wisconsin, NONE OF THE PEOPLE THERE BELIEVE IT EITHER, PLEASE DO NOT BLAME BARRY FUCKING POWELL ON US.
also he isn’t even at the uw anymore, he retired early to write really bad poetry and live in a yurt, and I swear to god I wish I were making this up
I love discovering very specific drama
You ever think about many peices of media have zero women and thats just perfectly normal but if a peice of media has an all female cast people get... like that? Women should be allowed to kill over this btw
same but it's black people
That's right
it would be so awesome
it would be so cool
I’m glad that OP:
1) Figured this out.
2) Shared so others can learn from their mistake.
Tiff & Eve at Prides all over MN this year. Next Saturday June 20th I'll have a table at Albert Lea Pride Fest. If you're in the area stop by and say hi!
praying for everyone Black in Belfast rn. hella Black ppl lost they homes as a result of this antiblack terrorism.
like ok allegedly the white people in Northern Ireland terrorizing mainly Black people and poc are British loyalists and not “real Irish” but that video stating that is showing more concern for the white Irish people currently hiding in their homes “in fear” of harm, while real life Black people are actively being harmed lmao like??? get up! if you say you’re not like these white supremacists than show up in defense for the Black people currently being mobbed by people who look like you!
paying liberal lip service does nothing but make sure history doesn’t remember you as the “actual bad guys”, just the cowardly bystanders & it damn sure doesn’t make any moves to protect anyone Black!
i don't believe in god anymore really but i prayed for them
history repeats and repeats and repeats…
no offense, but what was the point of that cool older lady character in Spirited Away
except, you know, to make me question my sexuality at 12 during midnight rewatches as I looked at her weirdly pretty mouth and had Questions
!!!
me, falling in love with every woman I see whose purpose is to eat and be pretty:
#her and Ursula from Kiki’s Delivery Service#the archetype is ‘lesbian who accidentally adopted this child’
I mean, I’m pretty sure Lin is supposed to represent what Chihiro’s future might be like if she accepted her role in the bath house and didn’t try to maintain her own identity and values. She’s not a bad person, but she’s hedonistic to exactly the extent that the bath house culture allows her to be as an employee and has no ambition beyond the system of favors, bribes, and petty intimidation between low-level workers. She’s traded her individuality and opportunity to better herself for the security of predictable exploitation and she doesn’t seem to regret it.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Lin is the only other major character who looks human throughout the movie - I’m not certain she started out human, but I suspect she may have, and may have fully traded away her humanity. I do think it’s significant that she, unlike Chihiro and Haku, doesn’t reclaim her name at the end of the story.
She doesn’t want her independence or identity back. Her purpose is to eat and look pretty.
Alternate interpretation: I always thought Lin meant to be a comforting presence.
She’s the first bathhouse worker who is kind to Chihiro, helping her get her clothes and navigate her first work assignment and sneak food. One of the core themes of Spirited Away is finding your footing in a new and terrifying place, and Lin and Haku are key allies in Chihiro’s struggle to gain the skills and self-assurance she needs in order to thrive.
Lin’s human appearance helps us and Chihiro feel more sympathetic towards her . Her familiarity with the system of favors and bribes makes her appealing as a role model who can demystify Chihiro’s new environment for her. Unlike the more inhuman occupants of the bathhouse, Lin looks like someone Chihiro could become in the future, and that’s a good thing! She’s living proof that the bathhouse is not such a monstrous and scary place. Because Lin treats the bathhouse like home, Chihiro begins to see it as a home, too.
And once Chihiro starts to think of the bathhouse as her territory, she realizes that she has agency in this place as well. She uses its rules to her own advantage to free Haku and herself.
And that is the point of Chihiro’s journey in Spirited Away: it’s a metaphor for starting over in a new place and overcoming fear of the unfamiliar. After all, the frame story is Chihiro’s family moving to a new city. At the beginning of the movie, Chihiro is despondent, unhappy to be leaving her old friends behind. By the end, after making it through the spirit world, she’s taking a much more active role in helping her parents settle into their new home.
TLDR: Lin is there to be Chihiro’s friend.
These theories coexist really well, I think. Lin has accepted her place within this system, and that’s given her the confidence and experience to be a mentor for Chihiro. Because she knows the system, she can make things a little better for Chihiro.
Because Chihiro has a mentor and friend, she learns how to survive and even do well in the Bathhouse. It’s because of Lin that Chihiro is able to not accept her place within this system and instead fight back, and in the end to make things a little better for everyone.
There’s something there about community, and easing the path for those who come after you. Lin doesn’t regret her choices because they were the best choices she could make, and that’s okay. It’s not a tragedy. She got as far as she could get, and because she did, she’s there to help Chihiro get farther.
And isn’t that what we’re all here for, in the end? To go as far as we can, and then give a hand up to those coming after us? It’s never a tragedy when children can go farther than their mentors ever could. That’s a triumph.

so metropolitan museum of art has a register of books they’ve published that are out of print and that you can download for free! they’re mostly books on art, archeology, architecture, fashion and history and i just think that’s super useful and interesting so i wanted to share! you can find all of the books available here!
So with the confirmation that pokemon go was used to fuel the data for autonomous drones coupled with the fact that the first truly autonomous drone killed someone a few weeks back, do nintendo fans not care?
Like i know they know, the first time I saw the reporting on the pgo data was from someone who was posting about pokemon positively right after. Helping them pay for lawyers to sue literal children wasn't the last straw, helping them pay for lawyers to get a legal slave in Canada wasn't the last straw, and now funding genocide isn't the last straw. Like yall are no different than ppl who still do harry potter stuff.
