A hypercompetent realist who runs the neighboring coffee shop, meet Nina July 28th when Good Omens returns, only on Prime Video.

Is this the wrong moment to tell the new fandom that it was a PORN SHOP in the book?

yes yes there's two sides to the shop but nevertheless one neighbouring shop is canonically a PORN SHOP.

amzen are cowards.

It’s the coffee shop over the road. Neighbouring doesn’t necessarily mean Next Door.

But it is true that in Good Omens the TV show Intimate Books is no more. Not because of cowardice but because the Soho of 2023 is not the Soho of 1990, and the little porn shops went away when anyone could make porn happen on their phones, and the coffee shops and specialty shops took over the places where they once had been.

I recently walked through Soho, watching a group of young touristy men going “OMG A PORN SHOP WITH VISIBLE ADVERTISING - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH” right in front of what might be the only porn shop left in that street.

And all I could think was: You’ve ain’t seen nothing yet - imagine these streets thirty years ago.

Time devours everything. Even little Soho porn and kink shops.

They're still alive in Philadelphia. It was quite an experience walking to school down South Street in fourth grade and seeing at least one store like Condom Kingdom or Pink Pussy on every block.

google what does cheating on your wife feel like

OP I apologize in advance for this.

Hey bitch, you’re bold as fuck for posting this and tagging it yucking it up as some cheeky dig at me because Abney cheated on me with you when he went to divorce your demonic ass.

You literally lied to him about being terminally ill and got him to marry you after 4 months for “insurance” then you proceeded to make him do hospice care to hold up your lie and made him bathe you as some perverted trauma bond. You left him after he lost contact with his kid bc of you and said you were a lesbian and have been breadcrumbing him for the 2 years y’all were separated.

Then he dates me and tries to move on bc you ruined his life and his relationship with his child and his reputation. You start this single white female act. Changed your whole Cottagecore aesthetic to mimic me. My style. My mannerisms. My jokes. Posting sonic memes bc I’m a sonic voice actor and you grew up in a CHRISTIAN HOUSEHOLD YOURE LYING ABOUT BEING ETHNICALLY JEWISH AND HAVE NEVER PLAYED A VIDEO GAME BESIDES POCKET CAMP IN YOUR LIFE. Bc you’re fucking insecure and have no personality of your own nothing original or poignant to say all of your “art” is ripped directly from Pinterest and you post Taylor swift lyrics like “woe is me :((“ meanwhile you’re being a psychotic evil bitch and taunting me over social media about fucking up our relationship.

Lol you’re so cheeky! You’re an evil bitch you think you’re so special you had to become me to trick someone you traumatized into cheating with you? You’re pathetic. No one likes you for who you are bc who you are is a manipulative pathological liar so you have a different mask and different story for everyone in your life and it’s clear none of them have ever kicked your ass for it.

I wanna be you, huh? You’re a loser. The second you found out Abney was moving on with me you were so quick to insult me. Call me ugly. Downplay my accomplishments bc you could never be in NYFW. You could never be where I am as an entertainer and artist. You’re sick in the head for trying to bring me down with you.

And since you fucked a month ago on the day y’all divorced, you were either trying to trap him and be another demonic baby mama OR (more likely) you’re just a liar and thought faking a miscarriage would give you sympathy for being a homewrecker. Now I gotta get checked for STDs so I don’t get whatever’s festering in you that you keep trying to pass off as “terminal endo”.

I know you don’t give a shit and are selfish and don’t even care you ruined Abney’s life and my peace. But you’re not lying your way out of consequences anymore.

From the bottom of my heart, I hope you get every bit of negative karma you deserve, “Honey Chava Rubi Gilmore”.

this post was about listening to new music

Just for anyone still thinking the civil rights movement was “SO long ago!”

Fred Hampton would be 51 this year if police hadn’t executed him at age 21.

Ruby Bridges is 65.

MLK would be 91 (he was assassinated at 39).

Malcom X would be 95 (he was assassinated at 39).

Claudette Colvin (the first Black woman known to refuse to give up her seat AT 15) is only 80.

Mary Louise Smith is 83.

Fred Gray is 89.

EMMETT TILL WOULD BE 79 (he was murdered at age 14 because of a white woman’s lie).

Ask yourself how old your grandparents are. Hell, how old your PARENTS are. How old are the people in most government seats right now?

Miss me with that bullshit of “It’S sO lOnG aGo. Things are better now.” These people and so many more who aren’t able to be here would be distraught at what is STILL fucking happening today. To say things like that is just willfully turning your head away from the injustices that we see today! That’s the that on that.

“How old are people in most government seats right now?” <-!!!! THIS!! People don’t fully digest THIS! MANY many people in the most powerful positions in government WERE alive to hate MLK. They were building early political careers in opposition to the Civil Rights movement, actively oppressing Black people in lower positions of government, fighting to keep segregation alive, etc. And they’re STILL doing it!

As I’m reblogging this there’s a approx +3 each age from when it was posted in 2020…still very recent. Still not as long ago as some want you to believe.

Is there anything more exhilarating than at the height of the tent scene in 4.3 being Brutus and going like you’re about to slap Cassius across the face but then instead you grab him and kiss him while the crowd erupts into applause bc that’s what happened last night in our production

Okay so basically OP and I and a bunch of our friends did a production of Julius Caesar that was set in a modern-day gay bar and Brutus and Cassius kissed onstage multiple times and it was awesome.

Also Cinna was goth and Casca was a lesbian

that's so perfect holy shit

that post about media that you consumed when you were a little too young for it is very interesting but i also like to think about media that you consumed at the Exact perfect time in your life for it… its such a nice concept

OOH OKAY rb this and tag what piece of media you played/read/watched etc at the perfect time in your life, something that wouldnt have been the same if you didnt consume it when you did…

I do love when I get a whaler’s journal that has a lot of misspellings. It makes it slower to get through, but in my forever-fascination with New England accents prior to the latter half of the 19th century…when he spells things phonetically you get a better sense of his voice. I always try to preserve them.

In all the things I’ve cobbled together regarding early 19th c New England accents, ranging from the Biglow Papers to children’s speller books (targeting ‘mispronunciations in rural accents’), and whaler journals I can only describe it as like…

A Twangy Brogue. I love it. I’m so fond.

Examples off the top of my head to get a sense.

Catch - Kitch Certain - Sarten Oil and boil - Ile, bile Such - Setch Lantern - Lant-horn Coin - Quine Chair - Cheer After - Arter Birthday - bethday Water - Warter Exhausted - Exorsted Get - Git Sit - Set Girl - Gal, gel Chimney - Chimbly Dirt - Dut Learn - Larn Cards - Cairds Solider - Soger Nervous - Narvous Afraid - Afeared Turns of phrase like asking ‘be you happy’ instead of ‘are you happy’, swapping ‘on’ and ‘of’ such as ‘she died of a summer day, and fever was what she died on’ instead of ‘she died on a summer day and fever is what she died of’. ‘Wake snakes’ meaning stirring up trouble. etc. etc. etc. Love all of it.
