losing my mind at gbbo doing a homemade s’mores technical. everyone’s like “oh bother they’re all so messy I got it wrong” like…babe that’s a s’more…it’s the Least Technical food in the world...if you do not turn into a Feral Being of the Woods when consuming The Mess then you’re not eating a proper s’more

my grandfather has this painting of an enormous fat and almost perfectly rectangular bull. the painting itself is humongous—it’s the largest painting anyone in my family owns, and any room you hang it in instantly becomes the Bull Room. it belongs to him now. it’s the rectangle zone.

anyway my grandfather asked his grandkids what we’d like to inherit and I called dibs on The Unit. he is mine now. my own. my precious.

I don’t have a photo on hand but the painting looks almost exactly like this:

it’s going to live with me wherever I go. does it fit with my sense of decor? absolutely not. is it tasteful? fuck no. is it oppressively, alarmingly large to the point it threatens the integrity of the wall? yes, The Unit is a symbol of my wealth and prosperity as a 19th century gentleman farmer, you WILL suffer him.

Straight White women are the biggest treat to the lgbt+ in the uk

Ok I haven’t been following the news, what happened???

northern-punk-lad

Well the usual terf shit

Graham Norton is a famous UK gay man he got this backlash for saying “listen to trans people about the trans issues not online celebrities”

The majority of the trans hate group LGB alliance is straight white women

And most of the pushers for homopbic and transphobic laws to be put in place are straight white women

And then there’s liz truss who wants to bring back section 28

Graham Norton is a national fucking treasure and what he said was so inoffensive, reasonable and not at all threatening or whatever to Rowling and still her and the terf army lost their shit?

bundibird

Literally the guy was doing an interview, and the topic was "'cancel culture,"' and Graham was kinda not really engaging in the topic as much as possible, and then the interviewer was like "well what about JKR? People are cancelling HER, what's your take on that?" And he was like "look I'm not actually sure why people want the opinion of celebrities on things like this -- I'm not involved in that whole topic, and I don't have any authority to speak to it, and what I think we SHOULD do is listen to those who DO have authority on the issue, such as trans people and the parents of trans kids and doctors who are experts in that field. I'm just a bloke in a pink suit and I have no business weighing in on the topic, and idk why anyone would want me to."

He was literally like "yo don't drag me into this, but if youre gonna insist on it, then I'm gonna direct you to the experts on the topic, since I'm decidedly not an expert." He didn't even say her name. It was the most polite "this isn't my wheelhouse" I've ever heard.

And JKR lashed out at him and accused him of siding with rapists and abusers who hate women, like??????? Lady what the fuck. He literally never even said your name.

And then of course her troll army descended upon Graham's every online presence, and then next thing you know, the gay man who said "let's talk to experts about issues rather than celebrities like me," is being driven off social media.

Graham Norton is a national fucking treasure but he's not a famous UK gay man, he's a fucking famous IRISH gay man. And fucking Rowling of Terf Island had a bash at him and he's had to pull back

acreaturecalledgreed

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.

What is the most important step a man can take?

I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.

This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.

Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do

how to stop isolating yourself?? the answer is give up on code and hidden messages. love fully and loudly and truthfully and always. be deliberate. be open. feel everything. but won’t it be hard? won’t it hurt? yes!!!! yes.

*shaking movie directors by the shoulders* NIGHTTIME AND OTHER FORMS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DARKNESS CAN BE IMPLIED WITHOUT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE FUCKING MOVIE

I always think of that conversation on the set of lotr where the cinematographer was asked where all the light was supposed to be coming from in scenes like the battle of helms deep, and he just responded that it comes from the same place as the soundtrack does. sometimes you need to be a little unrealistic to make your work better and actually watchable

I’m very concerned that our society is much more interested in information than wonder, in noise rather than silence.

Someone has yet again tagged one of my Hays Code posts as "fandom shit" and I am going to lose my mind.

Perhaps--and just hear me out, here--the study of a censorship code that spanned thirty-eight years and has an incalculable impact on American media to this day

And has required me to research other related topics such as thr Red Scare, Black history, queer rights movements, the Great Depression, and plenty more besides

Is just a teeny bit more nuanced than "fandom shit."

Boiling the entire concept of "media studies" down to "fandom shit" is reductive, short-sighted, and entirely ignorant, and I wish y'all would pull your heads out of your goddamn asses.

no like imagine being a legendary voice actor bringing a character to life yourself for like 20 years and they cast some homophobe in his normal speaking voice for the big screen debut nintendo needs to pay charles martinet an apology of like a billion dollars and i am so serious

eirichele

and for people being like “its fine in clips but for a movie his voice would be too grating!!! what is he gonna do wahoo for 2 hours??”

like hello he is a PROFESSIONAL VOICE ACTOR and not just wahoo man!!! he could have easily figured out a more natural voice for mario because this is literally his job!!!!! crispy ratt cant even manage one change of tone please be serious

Also I can't believe that "anything approaching an Italian-American accent" wasn't a must-have on the casting list
