I shall never be free from the horrors [spawning salmon]

i learned that the Twilight Zone was created after Rod Serling’s teleplay inspired by Emmett Till’s murder was heavily censored by networks and advertisers. The censorship led Serling to rethink his approach and delve into the era’s social issues through a filter of science fiction and fantasy (x)

“The writer’s role is to be a menacer of the public’s conscience,” Serling later said. “He must have a position, a point of view. He must see the arts as a vehicle of social criticism and he must focus the issues of his time.”

I’m printing this out for my wall.

It’s funny how often horror, fantasy, and sci-fi have been sanctuaries for progressive ideas despite (and because of) the world at larger considering them lesser genres.

artists: hey it’s fucked up how cruel and exploitative our current society is society: we’re not going to listen to that artists: here’s a dragon. it symbolizes the cruelty and exploitation of our current society. society: holy shit, cool dragon!

Maybe plow the Lord’s fields in heaven

Pour one out for this choice bot url

So here's my Easter post about why my Jewish ass thinks the name of Jesus is funny

So Jesus and the apostles and everyone else were semitic. They spoke Hebrew and Aramaic. So Jesus's original Hebrew name is Yeshua.

In the western canon, the names of Jesus's apostles were Hellenized (i.e., translated to Ancient Greek) and then Anglicized (translated to English).

So the disciple John was originally known as Yochanan in Hebrew. This was Hellenized to Ioannes, then Anglicized to John.

For more examples:

Hebrew > Hellenized > Anglicized

This process of translation happens with many biblical names, particularly New Testament.

Except for Jesus Himself.

Jesus's name is only Hellenized. Yeshua to Jesus. Then in the Western canon, it stops there. Why?

I posit a simple answer: it would sound weird if Jesus's name were Anglicized.

Josh died for your sins.

Josh will come again to judge the living and the dead.

idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

scientist when you don't take the medicine they developed to help your pain

we live in a society

This shit is EXACTLY what I was talking about in that one post that blew up about pedophile dogwhistles and DELIBERATELY using this language to misconstrue what it stands for to the oblivious person and I wanna add on here to make it clear as day

This is very deliberately presented as an LGBTQ cause ie the pride flag so when a random person goes "what's pro-shipper?" And someone goes "supporting artists right to depict relationships between anyone they want!", the reasonable assumption will be "oh so supporting the depiction of LGBTQ relationships yes I support that!" Without knowing the real issue they're subscribing to is "anti censorship of pedophilia" disguised as LGBTQ rights. Pedophiles have ALWAYS had interest in slipping their way into being included in the LGBTQ community and making their attraction to children a queer rights issue. Don't let them. This issue is very quickly turning into a "mass of horrible people banding together for horrible reasons masquerading as some just fight against censorship" thing (like gamergate and such) and getting an uncomfortable amount of traction infiltrating more mainstream places and celebrities publicly endorsing it is NOT GOOD

the aquarium said you are NOTHING compared to an eel

Thinking about BW2 where you can just catch a riolu in the wild before the first gym

That was crazy at the time

Do u think sinnoh trainers visit unova and look at wild riolu just frolicking and get mad

You literally can't catch Riolu in the wild in sinnoh so this may actually be straight up canon
