Every so often i remember that yeah they did actually make a broadway musical about rapping slavemasters. And 14 year old newly homosexual kids with half shaved heads and faded teal highlights in their swoop bangs AND 54 year old consultants from albany new york with 6000 followers on twitter thought it was the best thing that ever happened to art
I'm here to edutainment shitpost about obscure religious history and make jokes with my friends. It is rare that drama needs my take.
"form an opinion on everything and share it publicly at the earliest possibility" is like installing a six-cyliner brainrot machine directly into your cerebellum.
Every conservative moral panic, allowed to run its course, eventually devolves into histrionics about Satan
In mainstream conservative Christian thought, Satan is the sole font from which all evil flows. As a result, anything considered abnormal, transgressive, or offensive to Christian cultural hegemony, and in particular white Christian cultural hegemony - variously communism, Black civil rights, homosexuality, transgender existence - is regarded as explicitly inspired by Satan. Consequently many Christians are unable to perceive their ideological enemies as human, but rather demonic forces threatening their way of life. Inevitably, this leads to genocidal rhetoric becoming not only acceptable but perceived as a measured response. Eventually, the actual social issue the outrage was ostensibly about becomes almost an afterthought - subsumed into righteous calls for good Christian soldiers to do battle against the forces of the devil so clearly arrayed against them.

Pornography is the most blatant political terrorism on earth. Although this fact seems lost on all but a few feminists, it wouldn’t be lost on anybody if it were primarily directed against any group but women. For instance, if this country were suddenly flooded with billions of magazines and books and movies and videos, 98 percent of which portrayed graphically and in detail pleasure and power gained by the debasement, humiliation, and physical maiming—to the point of dismembering and killing—of Black South African males, or Sandinista males, or Jewish males, a hue and cry would arise in the liberal community such as would put all former human rights outcries to shame. Masses of outraged people would rampage through the streets of every city and town. Something would be done immediately to stop it, and the ACLU would be there, leading the pack. An interesting phenomenon would occur. Liberals would suddenly recognize pornography as the deadly political weapon, as the potent forger of societal attitudes, and as the powerfully persuasive legitimator of oppression that it is and is intended to be. They would know it for the ultimate terrorist tactic.
But pornography is not primarily designed to reduce men to meat, to objects, to bloody pulp. It concentrates on reducing women to meat, to objects, to bloody pulp. When it does this to women, it’s suddenly, magically, not political at all. It’s erotic! It’s being really sexually “free.” It’s sexual hi-jinks, and lots of fun! Surprise, everyone!
This is the truth of women’s lives: that we live in a world where invisible institutions with inaudible voices command men to do everything possible to stop us from being fully human, fully ourselves; to hunt us down, and, if necessary, to slaughter us, emotionally and physically. We live in a world where the strongest women are deliberately and subtly co-opted into leading the cheers in the woman-hating contests. Nothing like this systematic breaking of the heart and spirit of half of humanity happens in the wars men call wars. There is no battlefield so strewn with broken bodies and lives as the sexual battlefields which constitute the foundation of every “civilized” society in the world.
Men speak humorously, or so they say, of “the war between the sexes"—a transparent and guileful attempt to mislead us into thinking that there is a natural enmity between women and men, and that the “sides” are evenly matched. Nothing could be further from the truth on both counts. The “war between the sexes” is man made, and it is not between anybody. It is against women.

I was recently asked to name 3 of the Great Lakes during a mental eval and now I'm curious about just how standard it actually is for people to know them, so
Thank God that Gordon Lightfoot isn’t alive to see this.

“The Acquaintance Rape Prevention Program includes an 'Empathy Inversion Scale' for women an men. Studies have shown that men need to develop more empathy in order to prevent them fron coercing or forcing sex on another person (Foubert and Perry, 2007). Women, on the other hand, need to decrease the level of empathy for male acquaintances so that they might be better equipped to sell defend when aggressed upon, instead of trying to make sense of why their 'friend' would be doing this to them (Rosenfeld, 2011).”

Anonymous asked:
hey! can you give any tips on shaping garments when knitting? i made a sweater i really love and i'm more confident in my skills now, but it's definitely boxy, even though the pattern included a little shaping. now that i know more about how things will fit me, do you have any advice on sort of freewheeling it to fit your body better? like how many decreases per round or how many rounds between decreases to make it look seamless, that kind of thing? thx!
hey! i can try to help :) thank u for asking !
i will say as a disclaimer that the customizations i have figured out are particular to what makes my body unique and distinct from "standard" sizing, and part of this process will be learning your own version of that ☺️ the good news is that i have only really been making garments since the summer of 2021, and i have only been modding them to my measurements for a little over a year! and i have already learned so so much. so you can do it!
there are a couple things that have really really helped me on this journey:
reblogging this to add that the designer celine.knits [that’s her IG name at least] is taking applications for a test knit sweater that uses sport to DK weight yarn and includes optional bust darts! for anyone who likes my shaping posts and wants to learn more it's a good opportunity!!
