“Suppose what your faith has said is essentially correct. Suppose there is a universal mind controlling everything, a god willing the behavior of every subatomic particle. Well, every particle has an anti-particle, its mirror image, its negative side. Maybe this universal mind resides in the mirror image instead of in our universe as we wanted to believe. Maybe he’s anti-god, bringing darkness instead of light.”
Prince of Darkness (1987) dir. John Carpenter
So, should I work on my WIP with the sad pathetic tortured guy or my WIP with the sad pathetic tortured guy?
Oh oh! What about that other one with the sad pathetic tortured guy?
Oh, you’re right! How could I forget? Or how about that other other one with the sad pathetic tortured guy??
Decisions, decisions!
While some authors make an exaggerated claim that it was a "state-planned economy" or even "socialist", the Inca economy was impressive. There was little to no commerce as such; the production of all the empire was administered and redistributed by the state. I have to look up the exact quotes now, but the Spanish were impressed that they saw no poor people among them, because they could simply go to the local tambos to take the food or clothing they needed; these tambos also served as administrative centers for the whole *bureaucracy* this needed. And it was so efficient that people in Cuzco, 3000 meters high in the Andes, could enjoy fresh seafood from the Pacific and items from the nearby jungles. There have been other "palace economies" where the central "palace" redistributed resources like say in Greece, the Middle East, but those were mostly city-states, not an empire that covered almost half of South America. It was something unique.
please watch this i gasped
This performance is an homage to the legendary and stunning Tandi Iman Dupree and y'all should definitely watch her iconic performance if you haven't seen it before
Hey everyone! I just finished my DA2 BANTER ANIMATION project if some of you are interested 👀
i try to be careful about what I tag on posts where I don't know how op would feel about my flavor of gender hot takes but like. whenever I see someone talking about the ways butches are seen as sex toys who exist to be scary and dominant and don't need affection i have to resist the urge to go "hmmmm i wonder why!!! I wonder why people see people with a masculine gender expression/identity and assume they are incapable & unwanting of softness!!! I wonder why marginalized masculinity is being viewed as sexually aggressive!!!!! i wonder if anyone's talked about that. and maybe connected the mistreatment of butches to the very similar mistreatment of other marginalized people who present as or are seen as masculine"
the "perfect" apology as taught in a libleft social justice context is bullshit — it's an etiquette ritual designed to prove your loyalty to a community, and isn't any better than any other way to apologize.
it's also invoked in contexts where expecting it is deranged (i.e demanding someone profess full culpability and acknowledge harm without providing an explanation or trying to defend themself, immediately, the moment they've done something which might be wrong? is a cruel burden to place on someone's shoulders)
i cannot stand how much of a cultural expectation people place on it and how weird people get when the etiquette ritual is violated
