I wonder if anyone knows how to be a girl

Never forget what Matthew Mullenweg did to Predstrogen. Never forget our sisters vanishing faster and faster, while staff jumps between denying and admitting it was them.

The “nobody” scene in the odyssey is absolutely not just a clever pun—it’s a character defining moment for Odysseus because he refuses to be nobody. He devised an incredible plan that worked and he could have saved his men and returned home much sooner but he just had to yell to the cyclops that he isn’t nobody—he’s Odysseus, king of Ithaca so now Poseidon knows who to curse which severely fucks up the rest of the journey.

The “nobody” scene highlights both Odysseus’s cleverness but also his arrogance and those two traits define Odysseus throughout the entire story. It’s a foundational aspect of Odysseus’s character and cutting the scene displays a shocking level of ignorance and disregard for the themes in the source material.

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

[creaturepeaches]

i hate it when i can tell my perception of a character is diminishing in real time because of fandom wank. like nooooo i want to maintain an objective relationship with the text but everyone is so annoying about you nooooo

[doggiewoggiez]

Shit man, this soldier war is fucked. I just saw a guy kill another guy, with a gun. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

"we cut the nobody scene from the odyssey" "we cut the religious trauma and parental abuse from carrie" i'm starting to think that studios barely funding original films is starting to have an effect where directors make up a story and then slap an IP on it in order to sell. or maybe some bitches just can't read anymore idk it's one or the other

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

L'Odissea di Nolan tra "scheletri spazzatura" e relitti: Arpa al lavoro in Sicilia, che succede

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

I have kind of a niche political view on tumblr, which is that I think misogyny is bad even when it’s just hurting women

[girlfailure-poetics]

and I don’t even think it needs to have a singular benefit for men for feminism and the abolition of patriarchy to be worthwhile

[girlfailure-poetics]

in fact the abolition of patriarchy could be a net loss for men and I would still think that feminism and the abolition of patriarchy was worth it

hey reminder to get the fuck off my blog and block me if you think transandrophobia is real ok? or if you think shinigami eyes isn't a good tool to keep yourself safe from transandrobros and twerfs ok? or that tma/tme is just creating another binary ok? I genuinely cannot overstate how much you're not welcome here, fuck off.

[crabussy]

I don't understand how cis people obsessed with gender norms think trans people are the weird ones. they're going around believing that your name has to correlate to your genitals. your fashion has to correlate to your genitals. your behaviours have to correlate to your genitals. your hobbies have to correlate to your genitals. who you date has to correlate to your genitals. whether you can put sparkles on your eyelids or not has to correlate to your genitals. and then people like me go "hmm. I might not do that. maybe I'll just do what feels fun and okay instead" and they LOSE their MINDS

Don't use AI to write. Use cocaine like a real author.

[galileoace]

Cocaine is ridiculously expensive...so is AI for that matter. I just use maladaptive daydreaming and lucid dreaming

I've tried using a gas leak in my home but this, unfortunately, does not help.

In rare circumstances, the Muse will just show up and abduct you.

But the things that had to happen to trigger this event are not recommended.

[swagophile]

would you let me into your room so i can sit awkwardly on the ground wearing an oversized t shirt and look at your posters like a squirrel searching for threats before proceeding to say nothing and stare at you until you speak to me. would you let me do this

[ashes2caches]

it’s really nice to cook a meal for the exhausted transfem. it’s nice to let her rest for once.

[shotguncatgirl]

Always incredibly ironic and stupid to me how transandrodorks love the whole “we’re all faggots in the eyes of the state” line and variants thereof because like,

1) why are you calling trans women faggots

2) you get treated like a confused little girl and I get treated like a rabid pedophilic rapist and !!! I do not think those are comparable !!!!! I think in fact that one might be a worse thing to be accused of by society !!!! Just saying !!!!

[strawberry-crocodile]

i don't like trigun, mainly cause my brother's stupid boyfriend who i hate was into it and every time he tried talking to me about it all i could think was 'wow this sounds like it would be a lot better bother materially and thematically if Vash was a girl' but i can't say that cause he'd through a hissy fit.

this ask is a few months old but if you wanna tell me your thoughts on vash and gender please feel free :3

[persephoneme]

i hateeee the framing of any type of media engagement that relies on juxtaposing fun, enjoyable, 'low' art (usually [m/m] fanfiction, romance novels, genre fiction, &c.) with difficult, fufilling 'high' art (usually classics, arthouse films, &c) as like. 'fast food vs. vegetables', 'entertainment' vs 'personal (moral?) development' not the least because these aren't remotely discrete categories but also because its annoyingggg

[persephoneme]

people used to love to do this in fandom with femslash specifically and i hated it then also. do you have any idea how demeaning it is to have to hear people framing the act of reading stories about people like you as eating vegetables. as atonement for the sin of wanting to read about men fucking. come on now
