if i see you fuckers try to give jkr’s new book the “morbius treatment” i’m going to end you. morbius was a mediocre film no one cared about & it did have jared leto which made it suck more but the film itself wasn’t anything noteworthy afaik, however this book is filled to the brim with bigotry & i would fucking hate to see it get more attention because you morons tried to be funny about a transmisogynist who is actively contributing to worsening the lives of trans women everywhere & especially the UK. think for a fucking second

editing this because some of you are insufferable. i am jewish, disabled, autistic & plural. i know she is all flavours of fascist. this post is specifically bringing up the biggest reason why giving her a platform is bad: the legislations that use her writing as a way to push their claims are specifically anti-trans. i am begging you all to honest to god shut the fuck up & stop expecting this post to be informational on what she's done wrong because that is NOT the purpose. if you want a post citing every wrong deed she's committed, go reblog one. this isn't it. if you dislike my wording so much, steal my post & edit it for yourself.

#perth.txt #also i'm not transfem but as a trans person nonetheless why the fuck would i wanna hear about this book??#joke or not i DONT want to hear about it. i wanna hear about it tank & thats the end of it.#now the amount of ppl who didnt & still dont know leto is a cult leader is concerning still #but i dont think he made money off the sales? unsure how actors' contracts work #now worth mentioning it still did give him some more visibility but again not enough that ppl even know what he does

as a 16th century clergyman what does machete think of the printing press

I think by the time he was born the printing press had been around for almost a century and a half, so I'd reckon the society as a whole was largely past it's initial novelty and controversy. Machete himself is bookish and nerdy, he's very invested in gathering knowledge about various topics and trying to piece together a good picture of how the world works. Getting access to reading material would be a lot harder if every book was still copied individually by hand. His standards are pretty high though, there's a lot of poorly translated, shoddily printed and flimsily bound books around and he's prone to scrunching his nose at them.

#his relationship with faith is kind of fraught and unhealthy #but as a top ranking cleric he's nonetheless fiercely protective of the church's interests that's his job #the reformation and the invention of the printing press enabled people to start spreading bootleg vernacular translations of the bible #suddenly folks had a chance to read the holy book in a language they could understand (if you were lucky enough to be literate at least)#this was a big deal remember it used to be only in latin and essentially gatekept by priests #not to mention you could now buy a copy of your own the cost of books had crashed they weren't necessarily rare luxury items anymore #you don't just go and cut out the middleman that's not how this is supposed to work #distressing times in the catholic church #answered #anonymous

The bliss of waking up on a fine Saturday morning only to realise a few seconds later that it is, in fact, barely Thursday

#the disappointment could've fuelled a time machine to beam me into the weekend #at least i've got most of next week off #meaning i can finally get on some flat redecorations and stuff #and sleep #and maybe even read some books. a couple of pages each night dramatically increase my sleep quality #which is technically not a new discovery #but i'm surprised each time nonetheless

I wonder if the cottage Lilia had was given to him by Maleficia?

He was in exile for awhile no? Maybe later on, Maleficia gave it to him as a place to call home since he couldn’t come to the castle.

Edit:

(I’m taking these out of the tags, and I’m too lazy to rewrite them 🤣)

#you know before the whole secret mission she has him do #maybe it was her way of taking care of him #from afar but nonetheless it was something better than nothing #it showed she still cared you know #and in time it became a home to not only him but to silver and malleus and sebek #diasomnia #maleficia draconia #twst book 7 #lilia vanrouge

New editions for the Grisha trilogy. I admit that they are beautiful :

Oh God yes! Probably the only good thing about these books. The Darkling and the art.

#those marketing teams know what they're doing huh?#baiting readers to buy these books again by making the covers gorgeous and appealing #but these are amazing nonetheless 💛#grishaverse #shadow and bone #grishaverse trilogy #the darkling #aleksander morozova

“John wanted to be with a woman. But he needed as well very, very much a friend. He needed a male friend. And my opinion is that Yoko, he managed somehow to combine both. He had a fear for pretty women running after him. Yoko was not very pretty, uh, at all, and he replaced a male in his life plus a female.”

Alexis Mardas, All You Need Is Love, Peter Brown and Steven Gaines (2024)

#I can’t stand alex (and it seems like no-one else in this book does either)#but he raises an interesting point #completely awful about yoko of course but interesting nonetheless #and basically what john said too #I wonder if alex was the one who first put that idea in his head #john lennon #john and yoko
