Iām soooooo embarrassed. My lord told me āgood night,ā but I thought he was calling me a good knight, and, well, you could hear it clink against my codpiece.
2026 COLOR CHALLENGE: March + Black & White Rhaenyra Targaryen House of The Dragon (2022 - present)
I donāt get why people keep saying Superman was a political movie, the only things really political about it were
Superman intervening in a conflict in the Middle East in order to save civilian lives
A twelve-minute long sequence where Lois and Clark debate the political and moral implications of Superman intervening in said conflict,
during which they note that the invading nation of Boravia is a close US ally despite their presidentās shady track record,
and that the invaded nation of Jarhanpur having a controversial government does not justify the mass slaughter of their civilian population (who also seem to be primarily Muslim)
Lex Luthor is a billionaire misogynist with eugenicist overtones who invests heavily into propaganda and misinformation to make himself look good and turn public opinion against his enemies
Luthor is also privately allied with the Boravian government and is providing them weaponry in exchange for half of Jarhanpurās land to develop in his own image
Luthor is operating a black site for-profit prison where he incarcerates political prisoners, whistleblowers and any ex-girlfriends that try to leave him
Luthor thoughtlessly murders an innocent Palestinian-American man just to taunt Superman, much to the cackling delight of Boraviaās pasty white president
Speaking of the Boravian president, when that guy orders a second invasion of the (mostly-unarmed) Jarhanpur, he publicly claims itās to āliberateā the people of Jarhanpur while simultaneously commanding his army to genocide the entire population of the country
and as an added kicker, the Boravian president at one point claims during a press conference that Superman is only saving people to build a āharemā of exploited women, before leaving to privately surround himself with fawning young women, and later visiting Luthorās private prison thatās full of kidnapped and abused women
The US government makes a big show of brutalizing Superman during his arrest before very publicly perp-walking him away (despite Superman actually turning himself over to federal custody, and also Superman apparently only being handcuffed with standard-issue cuffs due to the Earthās explicit lack of kryptonite)
When Superman points out that nobody read him his Miranda rights, Rick Flagg says āyouāre an alien, you donāt have rightsā before shipping him off to the aforementioned black-site prison
but other than that, I donāt think it has anything to do with politics at all
Let's ambush mama! š¼
"Why do Pallas cats always look grumpy?"
"Pallas kittens."
The sheer roundness of this kitten must be admired.
Felt like I really needed to be hugged and held close to someone all day but because I don't exactly have anyone to hug me or anything (aside from my yugi plushies lul) I took that energy and scribbled down the puzzle babies hugging instead LMAO
I did not check with my usual editor for colours BTW. So idk if this is legible AT ALL LMAO
also while we are collectively mourning Anthony Head it is my solemn duty to werewolf transgenderism post about it š«”š
happy Pride!
At a certain point an Admech has to get frustrated enough to employ percussive maintenance, right? There's only so much chanting over the air conditioner you can do before you start throwing hands with the machine spirit.
KICK THE CAN!

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

there are people who don't like lord of the rings?

for @itellyouthisisnottheend, from i'm gonna heal you anyway <3
something i get increasingly frustrated about with historical work is the tendency to go 'most of our sources are from athens and we know most about athens therefore i will focus on athens' but then the chapter is named like. this and that phenomenon in ancient greece. way to uphold the athenian mirage!!1! fortunately there are also many scholars right now working on not just other regions and their cultural landscapes but also. the inherent bias and projection and misconceptions we have inherited from athens and everyone working from athens. and that work is hard because indeed much less is excavated and much less is there to be excavated and the textual sources are also scarce but nevertheless the results are so worth it. our ideas on ancient greece are changing every day
#i should read more about places that aren't athens#but yeah a lot of stuff is athens in disguise so thats a little tricky @est-pulcher
some stuff!

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is āinternationalā pride month just because something happened in the united states.
in aotearoa, june isnāt our pride, itās theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that āyou owe your rights to Black trans womenā is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) MÄori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.
But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa donāt even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we donāt.
our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.
anyway, happy pride, americans. iām truly sorry that most of you donāt see the negative impact your nationās culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and cultureās queer history, donāt accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.
