[ID: a google doc with the italicized text: “orpheus loves eurydice.” “loves” has a blue underline under it, which is signalling that it should be autocorrected to “and.” End ID.]

literally emo over this autocorrect . like it’s right… there’s no need for “orpheus loves eurydice” as a statement. the evidence is already there: orpheus and eurydice

Propaganda

Jane Russell (The Outlaw, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes)— I first saw Gentlemen Prefer Blondes when I was 12 and the scene where she performs Ain’t There Anyone Here For Love made me realize I’m a lesbian. I hadn’t watched it in almost a decade (because she’s so beautiful it’s like looking into the sun) and I completely forgot that in that scene she’s surrounded by buff men in tight, nude shorts.

Savitri (Mayabazar, Devadasu)—Her smile is sooo contagious, she was on a comemorative stamp in 2011, she made films in both tâmil and telugu, she's got such soulful eyes just look at them

This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Jane Russell:

Maybe it's tempting to think of her as Marylin's second banana, but honestly? I think she's the one with a little more Zhush.

Did someone say sexual magnetism

I assume she's been submitted already, I just want the propaganda to include the empirically confirmed fact that images of her in The Outlaw have the power to rewire teenage girl brains. It's true I was there I lived it

im love her your honor

God what a tiger. Those eyes were truly magnetic.

She literally got a major motion picture delayed for two years for being too va va voom in it

Savitri:

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, from “Carmilla”

[shakunthalas]

I met a girl in camp once who was wearing very fancy blue socks with red octopuses on them that matched her curly red hair, so I complimented her outfit and she was like "hold the fuck on" and proceeded to roll up her pant leg and show me that she had a massive matching octopus TATTOO on her leg and then I asked her what she did for a living and she said she's a marine biologist and I was sitting there like. Of fucking course you are

IMPORTANT - please reblog

The U.S. senate is conducting an outreach survey about pressing issues including ceasefire in gaza and funding for 🇮🇱

Please take time to fill out the survey and spread especially if you’re living in the U.S.

note: (what is above was copied and pasted from this twt post)

something else, these questions are set up to be intentionally bias (you can see in the photo above) so please answer thoroughly and correctly!!

i don't trust the U.S government but taking this survey will give Congress an insight on peoples views on these events. As long as people are choosing the options that are opposed of being pro-Israel or bigoted i think it'll be fine (in theory)

here are two questions that are very misleading

as you can see they are trying to paint china's government and immigrants in a bad picture, hopefully anyone who is reading this understands that

1) the U.S government is using China's government in a way to look like they steal Americans information but in reality they don't care about our privacy. if they did, Mark Zuckerberg (owner of Facebook) wouldn't have several cases of taking peoples data and selling it

also that banning TikTok is not because of peoples information, it's about the fact that U.S citizens have an easier access to learn things that the Government doesn't want them to know and spread (e.g. Israel colonizing and commiting genocide on the people of Palestine) there is even a video of a government official talking about this (if I can find it I'll come back and link it here)

2) calling immigrants violent (probably referring to middle eastern ppl and muslims) is a way to convince people to deport them, obviously being xenophobic, and other stuff

if you can understand that these questions are bigoted and quite loaded it should be easy to understand which option is morally right.

at the end of the survey they will ask you what topics you care about and what Congress should focus on. don't leave it empty.

say something like:

• call for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza

• stop the funding of the illegal occupation of Israel

• hold big tech American companies accountable for using unethical Congon cobalt to make electronic devices

• literally anything important

putting one of these in the box before submitting will highlight that people want the government to call for a permanent cease fire and to stop funding Israel and etc.

sorry, this was a lot, I didn't plan to write this much out but I thought it was important to add additional information to inform people about the situation. hopefully this made sense!!!

horrific article from the bbc broke last about israel detaining healthcare workers, stripping them naked, and beating them for days on end. we already knew israel was doing this to palestinian detainees, but to be deliberately targeting medical personnel--doctors and nurses and medical assistants on the ground trying to heal wounded palestinians--and then literally torturing them are on levels of cruelty i can't even begin to compute.

a humanitarian law expert in this article calls the footage coming out of this "concerning." i call it the terms racists love to throw baselessly at arabs: barbaric and inhumane.
