im so tired of “feminist” art revolving around uteruses and shit like regardless of how transphobic it is it’s just completely trite and unimaginative
Whenever I study historically mysoginistic societies (medieval europe, rome, etc.) that talk shit about women being witches and hosts to demons and slaves to their flesh etc., they always mention that their one redeeming aspect is their ability to bear children. Even the most hardcore of mysoginists, past and present, will at least value women for their ability to bring more men into the world, even if thats all they value them for.
To respond to that history with an art piece implying that you also see the part of your body that allows you to bear children as your most important feature…
If the point of feminist art is to challenge patriarchal ideas then I’m sorry but you’re not challenging anything with that stuff
*taps the glass* hey, y'all know that what you might want isn’t necessarily what’s best to legislate?
Explanation:
- You cannot be judge, jury and executioner because the division of powers was created for a reason; to remain impartial and try to keep corruption to a minimum.
- Every single living person has human rights. Including the most evil people you could ever meet. Those people have a right to live, to get healthcare, to eat and to have a job. YES, even evil people.
I’ve seen a lot of people talk about abolishing prison, because it’s the cool, new hip thing that everyone is talking about. And instead of understand what it means, they think it’s the liberation of wrongfully imprisoned minorities - which it is. But also:
Prison abolition means setting up a system of psychological and physical help for the people whom are deemed dangerous to society. Yes, that includes Evil Fucking People. Recovery and rehabilitation should be the goal, not incarceration. THAT is abolishing prison.
Of course I want that abusive piece of shit father who abused his children to die. I want him dead! DEAD. But it does not mean that that’s what I want as an official law, because as much as I’d love to see him dead, the betterment of society and the rehabilitation and development of a human fucking being is important.
The benefits to prison abolition are ENDLESS. But it is also a struggle, and y'all can’t keep going through life with a 5 year old’s justice mentality. I swear, fandom has rotted your fucking brains off, because we NEED ACTIVISTS. We NEED TO KNOW WHY WE WANT WHAT WE WANT, AND WHAT IT ENTAILS.
You believe in something? Look up the activists who are doing work there. Read up on it. Look up videos. Follow them on their social media. Work in your communities, if you’ve the opportunity.
And stop being so fucking stupid about abolishing human rights. You’re doing the work for the far right when you call on all pedophiles to be executed on sight. Not even twenty years ago, gay people were mostly thought of as PEDOPHILES.
You see how this shit goes? Yeah?
Then figure yourself the fuck out.
“I really want that fucker to suffer, but I don’t want a society run by my worst impulses”is a really important moral principle that more people need to learn.
but uGH book!harry was so passionate and charismatic and witty and sarcastic and a natural leader and he didn’t fucking need ginny to yell at a group to stfu to get them to listen to him because if harry wanted you to listen he would MAKE YOU FUCKING LISTEN because when he was angry he was intimidating as fuck and he had this intensity about him like he was usually pretty chill and laid back and up for a laugh but you knew if you really pissed him off he might kill you because he had so much inner rage because of his shitty life and sometimes he would explode and he also had an ego like he was humble but also arrogant at times and he could be such a douche but also super nice and like he’ll save your life but he won’t bother being your friend because who the fuck are you to him really and jesus fucking christ HE WAS SO INTERESTING and movie!harry is like blandass oatmeal with no flavor like he was just such a flat character with no charisma NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID TO HARRY.
Prehistoric Planet is stunning both visually and design wise, and while I wasnt really mind blown by new science stuff (and kinda over the repeat of some dinos episode to episode), it was all worth it for this
i love pitting classically trained magic users against self-taught magic users in sci-fi/fantasy but it shouldn’t be snobbish disdain for them it should be terror
“WHO TAUGHT YOU LIGHTNING BEFORE BASIC TELEKINESIS. LOSING MY MIND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU JUST DID IT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAST WITH YOUR BARE HANDS”
Literally 99.9% of callouts, this is the end goal. The end goal is to incite enough harassment against a person to effectively chase them off of the internet.
Imagine a ballroom setting and seeing your F/O through the crowd. When they spot you, they smile at the sight of you and start making their way through the throngs of people. Are they walking slow, reveling in the buildup of tension before they finally reach you? Or are they nearly running towards you, foregoing propriety in order to reach you faster? Or are you the one making your way to them?
When they doreach you, they hold out their hand and ask you dance with them. (If you approached them, you do this)
If you accept, you spend the evening in each other’s arms, dancing with eyes only for the one you love.
If you don’t (i.e. you’re not one for ballroom dancing or you can’t dance for whatever reason), perhaps a stroll through the nearby gardens under the moonlight?
Either way, your F/O wants to spend the entire evening by your side.
stede’s only ever seen himself as Just Some Guy so i really can’t wait for season 2 where ed is going to be openly thirsting for him. it’s all about feeling wanted by the person you want, something stede has never experienced and something ed may have felt before to some degree but for all the wrong reasons.
