read in 2019 📖 Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore

“Perhaps you can explain it to me, then, how is it fair that my utterly inept cousin is in command of me, for no reason other than that he’s a man and I’m a woman? How is it fair that I master Latin and Greek as well as any man at Oxford, yet I am taught over a baker’s shop? How is it fair that a man can tell me my brain was wired wrong, when his main achievement in life seems to be his birth into a life of privilege? And why do I have to beg a man to please make it his interest that I, too, may vote on the laws that govern my life every day?”

nothing surpasses the comedy of the entire aftermath of the emma (2020) ball scene. NOTHING. knightley running after emma. frank churchill red-faced and sweating from carrying harriet. “on account of the scissors.” frank wheeling harriet around in his arms like he’s training for the shotput event in track & field. knightley’s face when he realizes how close he is to harriet’s face and to emma and he’s like “YIKES abort abort.” knightley failing miserably to come up with a reason for being at emma’s house other than sexual frustration and pining. harriet moaning suggestively enough to visibly startle knightley. knightley going through the five stages of grief when emma asks for frank to stay. and to top it all off, bill nighy hop-running in like some sort of meerkat to exclaim “is she dEAd?!”

not to mention that none of them have slept because it was definitely the morning hours when the ball ended, so these idiots definitely just pulled an all-nighter and are basically using one brain cell at this point? truly peak cinema. no i will not accept criticism.

did you guys know that the robot genre of science fiction sprung up as a critique of the way in which industrialization reduced workers to taking up monotonous, unskilled factory jobs in order to earn profit, jobs which in turn alienated them from their own humanity? did you know that the theory of the alienation of the self under capitalistic mode of production is a core principle of marxism? did you know that robot itself comes from a czech playwright who, for a science fiction play, coined the word as a derivative of the czech term robota, meaning forced labor? did you know that the robot genre is rooted in anti-capitalist sentiment?

I was in this play !!! it’s called rossum’s universal robots by Karel Čapek and it was super communist in ways our director did not explore with us at all👀👀

I'm a simple girl, is it too much to ask for a broody handsome suitor to stroll across a field, in the morning fog at dawn, to tell me that I've bewitched them body and soul, and that they love me and never wish to be parted from me from that day on.

I’m a modern woman and all, but the minute you stick an early 1800s love story with dancing and chaste flirtation and dashing men in their regency era clothing in front of me I am fucking GONE

I think somebody should warn kids that whatever their favorite piece of media is when they're 12 will become an integral part of who they are as a person so they can choose wisely

[tlirsgender]

I read artemis fowl I'm one of the lucky ones but the lack of warning is how we get 30 y/o's with hogwarts houses in their bios

[tlirsgender]

You turn 13 and your personality is locked onto the road you're taking and whether or not you'll be an insufferable person as an adult hinges entirely on if you had good taste when you were 12
