the thing that delights me about mr cornelius hickey in amc's the terror is that the first notable thing he does is get caught bumping uglies with whatshisface and when you hear that you're like "oh, okay, this is going to be his character axis, he's the gay one" which means you are COMPLETELY unprepared for him to start murdering people. by the time you get to him running shirtless across the tundra and doing unprompted cannibalism his sexuality is entirely irrelevant. like this is an equal opportunity descent into madness. homosexuality is still illegal but i guarantee the giant polar bear with a human face is going to get him before the cops do which is a win for representation in my book

#The Terror #yeah this about sums up my feelings #I have never received such intense character whiplash as I did watching this show I was NOT ready for THAT

Hickey: crozier you and I are true equals, two sides of the same coin, mirrors of one another, fated enemies. Also you want to fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid

Crozier:

say what you will about the terror. "you could've just joined up" is the funniest response to a villain monologue ever written.

This is apparently a hotter take than I thought but: hating on lawyers as a profession, calling them inherently dishonest etc. is politically reactionary. It discourages defendants from seeking legal counsel, puts forth the idea that it’s inherently suspicious to insist on seeing a lawyer before you answer police questioning (your constitutional right!) etc. which ultimately just benefits the state in making it easier for them to convict you. This is one of those things that “progressives” who were raised conservative often don’t realize is one of the parts of their parents’ worldview they should question more, but they should. Not only are lawyers not The Problem with “our system,” but having someone who is educated in the law whose job is to represent your interests in court — getting one regardless of your ability to pay, even! — is in fact one of the best parts of it.

Nobody ever writes stories about kids who want to learn the classical violin but whose parents force them to learn the electric guitar instead.

queer is such a good word. im queer as in fuck you. queer as in odd. queer as in fucked-in-the-head. queer as in i hope you choke on it. queer as in a slur i laugh at. queer as in not like you. queer as in none of your business. queer as in a line in the fucking dirt. queer as in we’re here. get used to it. queer as in this is who i am and what i am. queer as in im different and i dont fucking care. queer as in with or without you i exist and ill keep doing it. queer as in queer

writing a callout post for our cat:

invading queer spaces (the dining room table)

refusing to listen to queer voices (us telling her to get off the dining room table)

harming queer bodies (puts her claws out when you pick her up)

in the United Kingdom, people eat a street food known as the ‘tesco meal deal’, often made up of a sandwich, a side, and a beverage. it is renowned for being a cheap and easy option for many. however the more adventurous palette can opt for the ‘greggs sausage roll’ for a truly local flavour…

I had to leave the yom kippur service early yesterday because I wasn't feeling good and LO AND BEHOLD I am now sick and having to take a day off work.

Some friends asked me to explain Rosh Hashanah exclusively through memes so. Here we are
