WHY IS THIS SO GOOD?!

They put drugs in this show, and this edit is the closest I've come to being able to snort it like cocaine. Excluding binging the entire show in 6 hours after first turning on episode one to see what all the fuss was about.

Worse, it's our asbestos. It's being put into things we're going to have to keep using long after everyone has to finally accept it was a bad idea, in such a way it will be almost impossible to remove.

Radium suppositories and asbestos might both be in museums but the radium's in the exhibits, the asbestos is in the walls.

Not having a traditional job or plans to get an education will have people asking you things like so what is the purpose of you staying alive?

#so did they miss the part where gatsby ends up floating dead in a pool and all the miserable deaths in wuthering heights#or did they miss that because there weren’t any chapters titled In Which The Sinners Are Punished For Their Errors#like. even if you require explicit moral instruction from literature it’s pretty hard to miss the comeuppance in those.

“What I assume my teachers were trying to teach me”

[doctorbluesmanreturns]

Huck Finn is about a white Southern boy who was raised to believe that freeing slaves is a sin that would send you directly to hell who forges a familial bond with a runaway slave and chooses to free him and thereby in his mind lose his salvation because he refuses to believe that his best friend and surrogate father is less of a man just because he’s black. Yes it features what we now consider racial slurs but this is a book written only 20 years after people were literally fighting to be allowed to keep other human beings as property, we cannot expect people from the 1880s to exactly conform with the social mores of 2020, and more to the point if we ourselves had been raised during that time period there’s very little doubt that we would also hold most if not all of the prevalent views of the time because actual history isn’t like period novels written now where the heroes are perfect 21st century social justice crusaders and the villains are all as racist and sexist as humanly possible. Change happens slowly and ignoring the radical statement that we’re all human beings that Twain wrote at a time when segregation and racial tensions were still hugely prevalent just because he wrote using the language of his time period is short-sighted and foolhardy to the highest degree.

I’m really kind of alarmed at the rise in the past few years of the “and we do condemn! wholeheartedly!” discourse around historical figures. it seems like people have somehow boomeranged between “morals were different in the past, therefore nobody in the past can ever be held accountable for ANY wrongs” to “morals are universal and timeless, and anything done wrong by today’s standards in the past is ABSOLUTELY unforgiveable” so completely, because social media 2.0 is profoundly allergic to nuance

please try this on for size:

there have always been, in past times as today, a range of people in every society, some of whom were even then fighting for a more just and compassionate accord with their fellow man and some of whom let their greeds and hatreds rule them to the worst allowable excesses. the goal of classics and history education is to teach you enough context to discern between the two, not only in the past but in the present

[discordantq]

Also like, morals aren’t a katamari ball.

Frederick Douglas was a blithering sexist. Many suffragists were the founders of the temperance movement, which is the foundation of the war on drugs/Puritanism surrounding substance use in our country. Agatha Christie was one of the most important female authors of all time, she wrote women whose motivations and personalities were real and human and drew the genre forward by 20 years. She also hated Jews.

This purity testing is impossible to pass, and it’s hurting all progressive movements

#THIS WAS A FUCKING ROOOOOMAAAAAAANCE moment #one of those moments when i knew jacob tierney Got the genre #bc this look of conflict and desire and the fact that shane CANNOT SEE IT #it's that and the big spiel in russian where it's like... this is why dual POV in a romance is so important and 9/10 times the better choic #(w exceptions!) #if you're a perceptive audience member (and not everyone is lol) you can tell that shane is not getting the full picture #you know that ilya's feelings are real and intense #but shane not knowing and YOU knowing makes the tension even better (tags via @mermaidsirennikita)

[shaneposting]

i know it’s probably easier to do now given how much it’s blown up but i love that jacob tierney is the biggest fan of his own show. he will look any interviewer in the eyes and be like ‘i made something and it fucks severely and everyone involved in making it is talented and beautiful and my message to anyone who doesn’t like it is that i don’t care and didn’t ask’. keep tooting your own horn babe i love u

I would argue that the two most perfect critiques of Harry Potter come from a pair of 4chan posts, which take opposite approaches to their critique but reach equally damning conclusions

[luke-shywalker]

hey it’s ok if you lost your ai virginity back when you were uneducated. a lot of posts go like “reblog if you have never ever used generative ai and never ever will!!!” but it’s ok if you have used gen ai before and it’s even ok if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. you’re not a burger with a bite out of it for having used ai. ok

my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

[homunculus-argument]

The definition of whether or not an animal counts as megafauna is about whether it's bigger than me. Every animal that's smaller than me is a small animal and every animal that's bigger than me is a big animal.

So much has been said about Ilya helping Shane down from his panic attack at his parents’ house but I want to point out the brief moment before he steps in.

Ilya catches on to what is happening to Shane and takes a half second to look between Yuna and David to check in with them. He’s asking with his eyes if they as parents want to manage the situation and sees that they are clearly also a bit too stunned, so Ilya takes charge.

I think its so beautiful that Yuna and David get to see Ilya in this way, see how gentle he is and how intrinsically he understands their son. How he knows how to make him feel seen and safe and okay.

Since rookie season. Since the summer before.
