The Tudors ran so Wulf Hall could shuffle awkwardly around reiterating the same tired old Tudor stereotypes while claiming to be something new.

#It's so funny but as a historian I will genuinely defend 'The Tudors' to the death even with all its problems #Because it did was so few other Tudor shows/movies/media have ever done #And that is: it focused on things BEYOND just Henry and his wives.#Yes Henry was the focal point which makes SENSE but that's just it:#HENRY was the focal point. Most other Tudor media pieces have one of the wives (usually Catherine/Anne) as the focus and doesn't delve muc #Into the history or what was happening in England beyond the King's Great Matter.#The Tudors went ALL out. Yes they didn't get everything right but the fact that they tried and spotlighted so many other #Historical characters and events? The Pilgrimage of Grace? Actually LOOKING at the religious issues even if they weren't always accurate?#(Like with Aske for example. BUT AT LEAST THEY INCLUDED ROBERT ASKE like good lord it's like other Tudor media forgets everything else)#Focusing on Cromwell but also the Seymour brothers? The politics behind Henry? Even Brandon as annoying as his storylines could get.#Even smaller characters like Tallis and Gardiner and other Reformation and Counter-Reformation figures.#The fact that they featured the Reformation and Counter-Reformation AT ALL let alone tried to dive into the complexities of England's #religious crises. The burning of Anne Askew even? People having to navigate England's increasingly unstable religious situations?#The series hit its peak after the CoA/Anne stuff was over imho. Yes Cranmer and Norfolk annoyingly vanished despite being major figures in #the R/CR and they combined Mary and Margaret but god the Tudors did SO MUCH that NO OTHER PIECE OF TUDORS MEDIA has EVER DONE.#It looked BEYOND Henry BEYOND his wives and tried to paint a comprehensive pictur of a deeply troubling and divisive time in English histor #And it did so without demonising one side and it was just so good for so many reasons that I forgive its errors because damn did they TRY.#Tried in a way no one else ever has (no Wulf Hall did not I'm sorry)#(Wulf Hall was just the same old stereotypes rehashed and branded as something 'original' because it was from Cromwell's POV but again.#Same old stereotypes. Nothing actually original about anything else.)#The Tudors is so underrated for what it tried to do and what it achieved and I am reaching the tag limit but UGH god. Amazing.#Not even getting into how wonderful they were with Mary Tudor/Mary I herself and showing figures around her #Because that would be another tag essay considering the subject of my thesis.#Flawed but wonderful.#text #chey.txt

queer spaces that are like "women and other safe space" are so uncomfortable to me. how do i explain that it feels safer to hang with The Boys and maybe risk being called a slur than take a step in your politically correct barely disguised gender essentialist hellscape.

#like my god. just admit that you see non-binary identities as woman-lite and that you would rather eradicate masculinity than reform it.#sorry it is just frustrating to me that i have felt more comfortable shooting the shit with guys who've never read a lick of gender history #than self-proclaimed feminists #sighhh #oh and READING COMPREHENSION NOTE! this does NOT mean i find spaces catered towards men and founded on misogyny safe! thank you.

alright so the consistently excellent @curlicuecal challenged me in a thread about justice and prison reform after a weird comment. and the more I thought about it the more I realized there's a pretty large rant there which I definitely started in the middle of.

so, I'll put more of that rant down here. yes, on the reading comprehension website. (if you are a minor, or if you have any concerns at all about the limits of your reading comprehension, I implore you to keep scrolling and not click the readmore. this is a messy topic.)

I'll try to keep it as straightforward as I can while remaining lucid.

the first thing to address is the definition of crime.

if a ceo sails in to some company, sacks half their workforce, kicks years of products out the door that actively hurt people, tanks all their goodwill, dumps gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere, drives species to extinction, ruins hundreds of thousands of lives, and so on... that is crime on a planetary scale.

if some politician systematically sabotages their own nation's ability to respond to a deadly plague, and then tells countless lies about how that plague is actually harmless, leading to millions of preventable deaths from that plague, that is also crime on a planetary scale.

if a spree killer blows up a building and kills a thousand people, that is a massive crime.

if some politician were to tell countless lies, spend vast resources on propagating those lies, cultivate a population of brainwashed people who believe those lies over reality, and then try to overthrow a lawful government by whipping those brainwashed people up into an angry mob, that would be a crime.

if someone commits murder or rape, that is a crime.

if someone grows a thousand pounds of marijuana and sells it to people, that is not a crime.

if someone fucks nasty and needs an abortion one or nine months later, that is not a crime.

if someone amuses themselves or manages their pain with heroin or methamphetamine or nanobots or some amazing new thing that someone invented last week, that is not a crime.

if someone steals a loaf of bread or a blanket to keep themselves from starving or freezing, that is not a crime. likewise for squatting in unoccupied housing, etc.

if someone decides that their gender assigned at birth isn't the right gender for them, that is not a crime. same deal if we feel weird about what they do to present the right gender for them. same deal if we for whatever reason feel weird about the people they like to fuck. those are not crimes.

if someone has a disability, visible or otherwise, that is not a crime.

if someone writes a fiction story where any of the above is depicted, even in loving detail, that is not a crime.

fairly simple stuff, but it bears repeating. the first and most important thing that needs fixed is the way we define crime. right now the worst criminals are running the world, because many of our definitions of crime are screwed up. right now millions of innocent people are imprisoned and enslaved, because many of our definitions of crime are screwed up. (and kept that way by the interests of vulture capitalism, but I digress.)

most of the human beings in prison right now shouldn't be there, and the reason they shouldn't be there is because many of our definitions of crime are screwed up.

the second thing to address is the way crimes are tried.

I don't like our court system.

I don't like judges running a court the way a captain runs their ship. (racist judge? racist judgments.)

I don't like voir dire. I'm not even entirely sure I like jury trials, given the state of education in our society (but I digress).

I don't like forcing people into plea bargains against their own interests.

there are myriad problems with the way we actually try crimes and the way we get verdicts out of that process. it needs reform. maybe we could start by throwing out every idea that we inherited from European settlers and putting something together from what remains. maybe that's stupid. I genuinely don't know. but what we're doing right now is super not working.

the third thing to address is the way we treat those we've convicted as criminals.

sticking someone in a big stone and metal box with a bunch of slave drivers doesn't fix them, it makes them worse. we've proven this many times over. 99% of convicted criminals need a hand up - assistance from social workers, better opportunities, a change in circumstances (e.g. not forced to find a place in a society that is wildly prejudiced against them), release from the demands of a vulture capitalist system (again I digress), etc.

so, given all that, I do still see a need for at least one prison in our society. this is the fourth thing to address.

there comes a point where a society needs to stop someone from doing the thing they're doing. this is why I led with the examples of the berserk CEO and the narcissistic politician.

the scale of their ability to cause harm makes their rights secondary to the rights of the people they are hurting, in that many more people will get hurt if they're left to do what they want than will get hurt if they're restrained. this is the point where it no longer matters if we make them worse - because ignored, they will make everyone else worse.

in a society where the ideal is that everyone should be treated the same under the law, leaving berserk CEOs and narcissistic orange politicians free to run around mass-producing lies and harm violates that ideal.

THOSE are the only people that belong in prison. the corrupt, prioritized in order of the scale at which they can cause harm. not to reform them. not even to punish them. simply to stop them until the right specialists can figure out what their deal is, and the least harmful method of taking their power away for keeps. This is the only defense I can offer in favor of prisons.

our ongoing failure to treat honestly with this problem and enact a working solution is a massive miscarriage of justice. it isn't as bad as enslaving millions of innocent people and ruining the prospects of hundreds of millions more, though.

It's a federal holiday (presidents' day) and so there are hardly any new jobs, like a weekend amount, and the recruiter has not Gotten Back To Me, no have any of the other jobs I applied to (because of the holiday, not because they don't want to hire me or anything. no one in their right mind wouldn't want to hire me).

Anyway what's so great about presidents anyway? the old ones were slave owners and war criminals and the new ones are tax felons and war criminals. when can we actually get a president worthy of a whole ass holiday?

#it's 2036 and we elect president amalia lopez-wood #president-elect lopez-wood ran on a radical platform of healthcare reform and labor rights #and caused the term social determinants of health to trend on emerging social media platform zootwad #beloved by aging milenials and newly voting gen alpha alike lopez-wood was born to immigrant parents in a small town #and attended a public school with a leaking roof and overflowing toilets. she often had to share textbooks with her classmates #the first in her family to go to college she majored in molecular biology at texas tech and has a masters in public health from nyu #the president elect has promised to revitalize the broken education system with a focus on science and literacy #“In this age of disinformation it's vital that children are brought up thinking like scientists and with excellent reading comprehension”#the president elect said in an earlier interview #she also detailed her ten step plan to “ensure that no one within these borders dies because they can't pay for healthcare.”#lopez-wood will be inaugurated on 1/20/37 after which she will “get straight to work” once she and her wife move into the white house #hope springs eternal i guess #job search woes #presidents day

A tale of two Latino immigrants is the story of all of us

He who has emigrated once will be an immigrant for life. He comes from Mexico, El Salvador, Argentina, or Guatemala. The country doesn’t matter; the blow to his soul, the crack in his existence, is the same. He will eventually become a citizen; it is still possible. His children will be born here. They will therefore be citizens and will speak English even though he insists that they speak the…

The Border Crisis is real:

This CNN article concerns me greatly, I help organize case management for the asylee community and this community has changed dramatically over this summer. Initially we received a community of Hispanic migrants, many young families in search of opportunities, coming from economically devastated countries like Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. Now they have been replaced by a huge North African community of men who come from Mauritania, Senegal, and Algeria. They too are in search of opportunities but we have not been able to gauge as well what it is they hope to achieve here.

This article highlighted a grave concern that we must take seriously, the border crisis is a national security crisis.

The episode sits squarely at the nexus of two of the thorniest and most politically fraught security challenges facing the Biden administration: terrorism and the border… Administration officials have also grappled with limited resources as they face a growing number of migrants at the US southern border. Migration patterns to the United States have changed dramatically in recent years, with people arriving to the United States from more than 150 countries – the result, officials say, of unprecedented mass migration around the world. 

This is not a theoretical issue for me. I am responding to this crisis at a local level in NYC and so these are real people and the security concerns, both for these migrants and for the city, are very real issues indeed. I have a sense that human smuggling is very much part of this crisis. The smugglers may not be present but their cargo is now here with us. Whereas the Hispanic community are more interested in jobs and resources for their children the North African community seem more interested in clothing and gift cards (although to be fair everyone wants gift cards). Soon we will have more intensive case management and this will allow us to understand their situation better.

But in the meantime I am making this appeal. For a long time I have advocated for comprehensive immigration reform. I think a political candidate that cares for the future of this country will need to have the courage to respond to this issue. I am not talking about just the presidential candidate, I am referring to every congressional politician. We should know their thoughts about this issue and how they propose to respond to this crisis. Not with empty values and ad hominem attacks on other candidates, but with a real response to this issue.

Comprehensive immigration reform means that we must allocate money and resources to evaluate the needs and causes of migrants to this country and the economic and social needs we have for this community. Immigrants have much to contribute to us, and our policy should support this. Nevertheless, we must also recognize the need to promote a humane national security policy that protects us all. It needs to protect them from the abuse of human traffiking and forced labor, and it needs to protect us from threats of terrorism.

And yes, I have some thoughts on this. Immigration regulation needs to have a regional response. In this case, we need to consider a North American response to this issue. Since the migrants are coming over the border we need to be strategic about this by promoting the social and economic development of our southern neighbor (Mexico and Guatemala) in order to completely eradicate the human smuggling ring there and promote a secure process to assess and evaluate incoming migrants. If a North American partnership could promote the economic development of our southern neighbors, then perhaps this could provide broader opportunities for migrants beyond our American cities. In responding to the full gamut of economic needs, we should develop smart work visas that respond to these needs. We should process these migrants so we can regulate and track them while being attentive in integrating them into the fabric of our culture and society. This means good and thorough citizenship classes that share our American wisdom and values.

Organizations like our own will continue to do what we can but this issue requires a national and regional response. I hope we can act on it before it's too late.

Not only should drugs be legal they should also be free (in addition to comprehensive and reformed healthcare, not a substitute for it), you should be able to go to any pharmacy in the country and ask for a gram and them give you exactly a gram of exactly the substance you're asking for with a controlled dosage for free AND free and clean supplies to use it along with any harm reduction information you want about it

#it goes without saying that substance use disorders and any drug associated medical issues wuold be covered under comprehensive healthcare #and all programs would be reformed to actually benefit people and help with their goals not just abstience #for free without question of course #original content
