Okay, I’m gonna say it.
Michael Crawford in Dance of the Vampires reminds me of Trump.
It’s just… the jowls. Which aren’t in themselves a bad thing, but the makeup trying to hide the fucking jowls. The horrible wardrobe choices trying to hide the fairly normal effects of aging like a rich man. The total failure to acknowledge that people are laughing at him. The idea that just because you’ve got some name recognition no one actually cares if you do a halfway decent job at… ya know, your job?
So many many things…

Just blocked likely around 100 or so people and there's more on that post. I'm tired. Fuck puritans. Yall think you're so progressive when you spout the exact same shit as conservatives. You are conservatives. You call people "freaks" and "weirdos" in a derogatory manner and scream "think of the children!" in an inflammatory attempt to increase censorship or eliminate people you don't like. Your fake queer fake tranny asses will be next and you're going to act so fucking surprised when people are calling YOU a pedophile for holding hands with your partner in public or dressing funny. And yknow what? I commend the "freaks" that will try to protect you like we historically did AGAIN despite you being an asshole assimilationist. But I will not. And I will not encourage anyone to. Assimilationism and purity culture kills queer people. If you want to live with and assimilate to cishetero Christian norms that is up to you but you cannot have it both ways. The same way a real feminist does not support terfs, I flat out do not support purposeful assimilationists and puritans that try to act like the poster child of queerness. You are a token queer. You are one of those people a company or political party might pick to use so as to act as if they are progressive while continuing to murder queer people. You may be queer, but you have long opted out of the pro-queer movement. The moment you start spewing reactionary anti-kink, pro-censorship, or thought crime rhetoric, is the moment you work against queer liberation. Queer liberation IS NOT "only for the acceptable, polite queers who stay in their lane."
Fandom is not some isolated island of inconsequential internet shit. It is a scary reflection of how young and impressionable people forget their roots and think that the privileges other people fought for are immutable rights. People fought for your right to make whatever art you want, and for your right to decide who to kiss or not, and for your right to identify as whatever gender ever. And now you're fighting against those rights because you don't understand. But I cannot make you understand, and am tired of trying. And it will hurt when you are hurt by the policies you so fight for. But it hurts even more when people who have always been pro liberty and pro freedom and pro art and pro queer are suffering for your stupidity and cruelty. So you are like me. But you are against me, and other people like you. So you are not like us. And if you so despise freaks maybe you at least somewhat deserve what's coming. Maybe I won't have to feel all that bad for prioritizing those who want to prioritize me and each other. History will repeat itself. And those of us who are united will survive. And those of us who are not will be converted and murdered out of existence. It hurts but the only thing that I can do is protect and fight for the people who know what they are fighting for.

"He liked Miss Smith. He was sure she would like Kathleen. But he knew that people would take in a dog far more readily than they would take in a fellow human. It was odd, but it was true."
Diana Wynne Jones, "Dogsbody"

One thing about aging no one prepares you for is that at some point you're going to be horny and think "I can't be bothered with this right now* in genuine irritation

Depending on how Summer died, they might also show how she lived
You guys, the season finale could be pivotal for more than just Ruby.
IF it shows team STRQ at Beacon, growing up, even in flashbacks, then it may well, in fact, show five teens.
The knowledge that Oz was ridiculously young too might yet be the kick that Ruby and by extension the others need to let him heal.
Jaune is healing. HOPEFULLY Ruby is, too. Oz hasn't. Yet.
Ruby was fifteen when she entered Beacon, if they realise Oz was about that age when the Vale idiots made him head?
Canon may be about to get interesting...

You cannot move forward without looking back. and so it is
It is a mistake at this time to ignore all aspects of our history <of living beings and the many incarnations of life on this earth>.
We cannot correct our world without working with all aspects of self...as singular beings and as the greater collective. Humans were not the first incarnation of life on this earth. And many of us know this, but the history is complex and painful.
As they come from the darkness, they are surrounded by light.
"We are the poison, but we are also the antidote"
Man can do little to fix anything without opening up to all beings that are walking with us towards the light. We judge and cast stones as we ask others to see our light and forgive us our past darkness. We are but another version of the ones that we judge. There is little difference between us. We look upon them with fear just as other societies look at humans with fear. It is like looking in the mirror. We must listen with our intuition and our hearts to recognize the vast differences in the beings that we judge. Just as there are positive and negative humans...light & dark...so it is with the original dwellers of the many incarnations of earth. We must open our eyes to see instead of letting the fear spread by others close our minds.
We cannot move forward without looking back. And so it is.

Most of today's actual truths are communicated through memes and not through so called mainstream media 😅🤔🤣

One of my friends managed to accurately insult me yesterday in a new and uncomfortable way. I'm not super upset about it, it's just revealed some things about myself that I hadn't realized, that I now need to process
