Okay, as much as I love Rocky extending Grace's life without telling him, consider: Rocky *does* tell Grace, Grace just then somehow manages to like. Horrendously misinterpret what the treatment is actually for. Like.

Eridian Doctor: We went through the human genome and found a bunch of places with old broken DNA repair mechanisms so we came up with a gene editing therapy that fixes them in order to extend your lifespan.

Grace: *flashbacks to when Rocky found out that humans can experience long term effects from lower doses of radiation exposure and Grace wasn't being as careful as he should have been back when they first met because he still thought this was gonna be a suicide mission*

Grace (internally): Oh, so cancer prevention! Got it!

Grace: Sounds good!

*like 100 years later*

Grace: Hey Rocky, how am I not dead yet?

Rocky: ???

pig-lota

Eridian doctor: this treatment will increase your bone density to prevent them breaking

Grace internally: Oh right, low gravity can cause bone degradation. Makes sense that after so long in space it'd be good

Grace: sounds good to me!

One modification to the LPR5 gene later

Grace falls off a cliff

Grace: Hey why didn't I break any bones???

Rocky: ??? We made your bones strong statement

They add more salt or something to the water in his enclosure so that he can still swim comfortably despite the increased density.

The proshot of hadestown is a 22 year labor of love that distills every performance of Hadestown into literally the best version of itself with the best cast that has graced these roles and a budget to match. Not to be dramatic but I don't think we'll every see a performance this perfectly tailored to phenomenal ever again

wow! your understanding of this character is so. . . Unique! just wondering by the way but when was the last time you directly interacted with the source media

The world will always need more happy women who love being women in it than it will miserable men who hate being men.

It will always need more happy men who love being men in it than it will miserable women who hate being women.

It will always need more happy nonbinary people who love life outside the binary in it than it will ever need miserable men and women who hate being binary.

Do not live half a life for the comfort of transphobes and exorsexists. Don't die wondering, and don't let them bury you a stranger. Even if you're wrong, you'll still know your own heart better after exploring more of its corners.

Hadestown is another piece of media that proves (to me at least) that the US has artistic merit and doesn't just make corporate slop. The proshot was in the UK but what would Hadestown be without its Appalachian Folk and New Orleans Jazz influences, or all the performers and musicians, especially Black musicians, who made it what it is? Not a patriotic post, per se, I just feel the need to defend our artistic integrity because of our (deserved) less-than-stellar reputation

Also I totally forgot the format of a Broadway-style musical itself, LOL

To me the most important message of Hadestown is hope.

I feel like people get so distracted by the tragedy and the love stories (typical allos 😝) that they don’t see there was deliberately a hopeful result of Orpheus’ trip to Hadestown. This is something not part of the original myth, an intentional expansion of the story for this adaptation.

True, Orpheus failed in his central goal, which was to bring Eurydice back from the dead. But by just TRYING to do that, there were unintended positive consequences. The workers started to wake up and question the justice of the system they were working for. And Hades and Persephone seem to start to come to a new understanding, a possible mending of their relationship.

Of course we don’t know the full ramifications. Maybe the workers rise up, maybe not. Maybe Hades stops coming early for Persephone, maybe not. But the potential is there, and in that potential I see a central hopeful message in the story.

The message of Hadestown to me isn’t “don’t try because you’ll fail and isn’t that sad.” The message is, “Try. Try to do the big audacious and good but impossible thing. Because just by trying you will have a positive impact, even if you fail in your central task. Keep trying even if you failed in the past. Maybe it will work out this time, or maybe something else good will come of it.”

there is a certain kind of misogyny and transphobia weaponized primarily against people who identify or present as transmasculine, from the cis women in power in our lives. specifically mothers. like im hearing the stories of other trans men or people who formerly identified as trans men talking about being groped, examined for body hair, shamed for having body hair, having their privacy and BODY invaded, like all sorts of forms of sexual abuse from our mothers and i am one of them. and that doubly pisses me off when terfs are like "its just misogyny" like its not. this specifically happens when you reject your womanhood. butchphobia does exist but this kinda stuff primarily targets transmasculine people. and i understand why we as trans men want to avoid talking about the fact that some part of the transphobia we receive is laced with misogyny because we dont want to talk over women but we should talk about this actually. do yall know how many fucking trans guys ive seen in the reblogs and comments of my post i made about isomisogynistic mothers of trans men talking about being sexually abused by their mothers for being trans men? ive read every single fucking one. IM ONE OF THEM. talk about this actually

If you use the term "transtrender" to discribe other trans people then you are spewing terf rhetoric

If you as a trans person genuinely believe that cis women are pretending to be trans for social gain then you need to reevaluate your worldview

so so crazy to hear the conversation in the US about "if employees get 1 or god forbid two whole weeks of vacation they will all drop their jobs and leave forever" when all my european friends have jobs with like 3+ week minimum vacation time. Some as many as 6. I know of people with 8 weeks of vacation because they're past a certain age.

"is 10 days of vacation time too much" jump off a fuckin bridge you hack journalist

cock-holliday

The notes are all like

Americans: I dont get vacation time I'm just permitted to live another day

Non-Americans: yeah i get 60 weeks of vacation

Americans reacting to non-Americans: wait they let you guys go home after a shift???

Non-Americans reacting to Americans: ohhh this is a bit of why you guys are like this

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

picking up litter is worth it!!

individual environmentalism gets a lot of flak in the face of corporate pollution but picking up litter makes a significant, noticeable impact. I spend about an hour a week picking up litter from around my dorm complex and I'm literally outpacing my community's litter production. Just an hour a week from one person is enough to offset nearly 200 people's worth of littering.

it would take less than 100 man-hours of labor per week to keep my whole college campus entirely litter-free. If you got two classrooms' worth of people to spend two hours per week each picking up litter, the whole campus would end up spotless and they'd straight up fucking run out of things to pick up.

If you're looking for some way to make a noticeable and positive impact on the world around you, go pick up some litter.

Here's a good video on getting started and what to do. Yes, it's fully legal, just don't trespass on private property. All you need are gloves and a bag.

I've been litter picking in the background of my walks and I've removed several bags of trash from the area. The other day, children were playing in the creek that I litter pick at a lot. They were jumping into the water and swimming, right in the spot where I pulled torn up cans out of the riverbed and where I removed nearly-buried fishing wire that still had hooks on the ends. Just one person with a sharps container made it safer for those kids to go out and have fun.

That was the most direct cause and effect thing I've had with litter picking after just a little while of doing it, but even aside from that it's just. Good to do. It makes your area cleaner and safer and removes plastic from the environment. Plus, people are less likely to litter in clean areas, and litter can not be subconsciously normalized in people's minds in a litter-free area.

It's also fulfilling instant gratification. You get to go out and do something with your hands and then look and see for yourself that an hour or two of picking shit up has made an instant tangible difference in the world.

First of all hard agree on all of this. Every time I go out and pick up litter my mood noticeably skyrockets. The opportunities one encounters in their daily life to make an immediate positive material impact on a social/political issue that concerns them do not come up very often.

But what this post doesn't even mention is the community aspect. Which is possibly my favorite part.

Every single time I go to pick up garbage without fail I have at least one positive interaction with a stranger in my neighborhood. Sometimes small like someone walking past and saying thank you for doing it. But also people sometimes offering to help or even offering a bottle of water. And since I've started doing it I've seen more people in my neighborhood going out with gloves and a bag on a warm evening after school or work. In which case when I see them on my walks I become the kind stranger they meet that day.

So argue all you want about whether picking up litter is actually good for the planet (it is) but there is no question. It is good for your community and it is good for you.

i have a suggestion

Both Transandrophobia And Transmisogyny Exist

also to add

Also Exorsexism And Intersexism Too

pixeljade

more than anything i want a world where a trans girl realizing she is a trans girl faces zero fear from that realization and subsequent coming out. Where she can say "Oh sweet, I can just be a girl? Sign me up!", no worrying if shes girl enough, no worrying if society will accept her, no worrying if she'll be an attractive girl as she transitions, no worrying at all in any way shape or form.
