JK Rowling is what you get when you microdose on pseudo-feminist narratives in which womanhood = victimhood for half a century, and then one day you realise you're actually a billionaire white woman who rarely experiences an inconvenience, much less actual oppression, so you become obsessed with finding proof that someone out there is still out to get you, because the alternative is re-evaluating your most deeply ingrained hangups about womanhood, and that's right out

It's one of the more impossible fights out there, but I absolutely loathe rhetoric that divides all issues into a) socioeconomics and b) everything else.

just got in an argument with my mom and sister because they said that comedians making offensive jokes are funny because “they’re not talking about a specific person, you just don’t have to take it personally” like HELLO??? i used an example with ts since, you know, i have ts and they were like “i’d laugh at a ts joke because they’d be joking about the stereotype” like yOU DO SEE HOW THAT’S EXACTLY THE ISSUE, RIGHT??? and i said that there’s a difference between Me making ts jokes and someone who Doesn’t have ts making ts jokes because 1. mine are actually funny aND TRUE 2. coping 3. I’M NOT MOCKING TS like God
comedians aren’t funny and if you need to insult other people to Be funny then you were never funny to begin with UGH

I also think Declan should've gotten to sock henessey just once for all the shit she did. girl WHO told you to kill the ley. WHY did you not get a single consequence for your behavior. who are you, Ronan?
like I get it, Nathan's pLaN couldn't be postponed without the ley dying but that's still a stupid as fuck plot reasoning

I believe a lot of the Marina info was taken from that Ivey talk that they did in 2015. It's always worth another read to remember how incredibly forthcoming they were that day!

You know, it's funny, I think part 1 was deleted like right after it was posted and it's nowhere to be found and I don't even remember if the original blog is a reliable source, but it is what it is I guess?

“ i’m not wearing any underwear right now. “ - sila [they are in public. maybe out with sila's friends or smthng.]
He likes Sila's friends; likes the way it's easy for them all to gang up and tease him, the way a few of the older ones call him butch (a joke, he thinks) or Sila's boy or an assortment of other old-fashioned pet names he remembers from another life in decades past. He doesn't think he's ever liked anyone this much without hunting them. Another human experience that the first Corinthian simply couldn't have.
Sila murmurs in his ear, hand on his knee under the table, but he's not nearly quiet enough: one of his friends (a beautiful, tall femme with eyes as black as night, always dressed in exquisite colour and usually with at least one butch or a boyfriend on her arm) shrieks and cackles, giggling into her hands and calling him a word Alex doesn't catch, though he can guess it.
"Tell me about it," he says dryly to her, as if his own hand isn't slipping sneakily up Sila's dress to find out for himself. "He's insatiable. I never sleep."

People were saying that Taylor seemed to get the ick when Travis screamed, "Viva Las Vegas." He does seem to have a lot of testosterone.
I didn't have any skin in the game to care who really won, but not sad that it pissed off the maga crowd.
“He does seem to have a lot of testosterone” is such a weird thing to say. Did yall want that man to recite poetry up there or sumn?? Personally, I just think the CTE be catching up with him sometimes
I was rooting for both teams to lose cuz I refused to root for the niners bc they knocked the packers out and I didn’t want the chiefs to win because I needed the Taylor swift content to stop but unfortunately it was L’s across the board for me last night.

When I found out that in his Waste Land endnotes T.S. Eliot said that the stanza “Who is the third who walks always beside you? / When I count, there are only you and I together / But when I look ahead up the white road / There is always another one walking beside you / Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded / I do not know whether a man or a woman / —But who is that on the other side of you?” was inspired by Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition when the explorers fell under the delusion that there was always one more person there with them than there actually was, my brain shattered into a million pieces and I never recovered.
