(she/her) - a mishmash of all my interests and whatever random stuff I’m into at the moment ! right now it’s mostly black sails, succession, hannibal and lots of other stuff :)

it’s so funny to me that the average man’s ideal woman is like unattainable and what is attainable requires like surgery and so much work and effort like thigh gaps and huge boobs and whatnot meanwhile most dykes are like “i want someone fat and hairy and sweaty”

@lil-lesbian-historian THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY THANK YOU

like i just feel like if you were actually attracted to women you’d be attracted to women in their default state not just exclusively in an outrageously plucked and preened one

btw this 100% includes trans women like if you think cis women can be natural but trans women need to be plucked and preened to be attractive then you’re a prick and a hypocrite

Does anyone have an update on where things are at with the writers strike? It's disappeared from my various feeds and algorithms.

The writers' strike is ongoing and the studios are still not returning to the negotiating table. Unfortunately a lot of the coverage has tapered off because we're on 50+ days of striking and it's not new anymore. The last strike in 2007 lasted 100 days, so don't be surprised if this strike lasts as long, or even longer.

The biggest recent news is that the Directors' Guild of America (DGA) voted to ratify their new agreement with the studios (article from June 23), and it appears likely that the actors' guild (SAG-AFTRA) will also take a deal instead of striking (article from June 24). Although this is disappointing news, it's completely expected. During previous strikes, the WGA held its own without other unions going on strike. Which is to say—don't be disheartened by the news that there won't be a triple strike. The WGA is strong enough!

Please keep vocally supporting the WGA online to keep the pressure on the studios & to keep WGA members motivated and encouraged! There are many ongoing donation drives, such as the Star Trek fan snack squad (Twitter account required to DM the organizer) and the Our Flag Means Death snack squad (opens the PayPal fundraising page—no Twitter required). There's a longer list of ongoing donation drives here.

The Entertainment Community Fund is also always accepting donations to support entertainment workers affected by the strike. Please boost and encourage your friends to keep supporting the strike. Hashtag #IStandWithTheWGA #DoTheWriteThing to boost the cause!

anyone who acts like there's some kind of implicit understanding or sisterhood between all women is straight up lying

i made this post specifically about a friend of mine, so let me say this: if you want to be a girl, but feel like you can't because you would never be comfortable in The Club of Womanhood, don't worry! feeling like an alienated little weirdo who will never Get what other girls seem to pick up naturally is in fact an extremely Girl experience

Friendly reminder that calling Zuckerburg a lizard or alien is antisemitic and echoes New World Order propaganda about Jews. Zuckerberg is an ethnic Jew, and insinuating that he's something inhuman only contributes to the current resurgence of neo-Nazi views

Let me help some of y'all with reading comprehension:

"[C]alling [any Jewish person] a lizard or alien [or not human] is antisemitic and echoes New World Order propaganda about Jews... [and] ...contributes to the current resurgence of neo-Nazi views."

It's not about one guy. It's about being made aware that using neo-nazi dogwhistles about a Jewish person makes the world a more comfortable place for nazis to fuckin murder the rest of us.

It's okay if you didn't know, it's not your fault, dogwhistles are that way on purpose, to slip by unknowingly. Just knock it off and try not to spread it around yes? Okay.

I think one of the goals of society should be that someone who requires expensive medicine and a lot of care can live an amazing life, the longest life they possibly can, with dignity, even if they have no friends or family or anyone who cares enough about them to help. the goals of a society should be to make life better than if we are alone, society should want life to be as good as possible for as many people as possible, and those goals should account for people not having social support networks.

social life aside, the most hated or ignored person in town should be able to live as good and fair and just of a life as the most loved person in town. survival needs to stop being a popularity contest.

At this point we all know it's a shallow PR move to distract from the latest megacorporate scandal, but part of me wants Musk and Zuckerberg to fight. Part of me wants it to set a precedent.

It's the poetry of it all. There is something deliciously on-the-nose about two silicon valley neo-nobles mortgaging their bodies for The Spectacle. I'm no Catholic. I am not above indulging in some tempered bloodlust.

i love you physical media ❤️ i love you cds ❤️ i love you vinyl ❤️ i love you cassettes ❤️ i love you dvds ❤️ i love you blurays ❤️ i love you paperback books ❤️ i love you comics ❤️

"I specifically don’t want to think about his sexuality. I don’t think he has that down or actually really understands what that is, so I don’t want to understand it. There’s a good analogy I heard about a golf swing—I don’t fucking play golf so I don’t know—but there are nine very specific things you’re supposed to do in a golf swing. But if you want it to be perfect, you have to learn all of them and forget all of it. So I don’t want to have to learn every aspect of him and then work extra hard to not know... there’s something I intuitively sort of understand about his sexuality." - Kieran Culkin
