🔹If someone else's fiction is causing you emotional or psychological harm, or distress, you can put it down and not read/watch it.

🔹Your emotional well-being is not the responsibility of fiction writers.

🔹Someone else's fiction is not about your personal trauma.

before directors are allowed to put in the request for cgi they should be required to answer: “would lord of the rings have been able to do this by sitting somebody a little further back, using an apple box, or putting out a casting call for a really big pig?” and if the answer is yes they should consider finding a really big pig.

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

at the theatre the other day with my sisters & we have a family tendency to pee a lot so we all troop down to the bathroom in the interval. and then as per usual spend basically the entire interval queuing bcos there's about 3 milliion women wanting to pee and 3 stalls.

anyway we're coming up on the front of a queue and a woman at the back calls out to my sister (angry) 'they're ringing the bell' and we're like huh and she's like 'they're ringing the bell hurry it up' like it's somehow our responsibility to make the line go faster??

me & my little sister get back to our seats first and my sister is like 'wow that lady was really weird & rude' and im like yeah. but also unironically having to queue that long for the bathroom is a gender equity issue. and she's like 'lmao yeah have you read Invisible Women'

our other sister gets back and is like 'wow that lady was really weird and rude' and we're like yeah. sucks having to wait that long for the bathroom though and she's like 'well it's a gender equity issue' and we're like RIGHT??

it's a gender equity issue anyway

"crochet can't be made by machines" went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of "so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it" which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)

Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".

Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let's not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. "All clothes are made by people" is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it's not just crochet it's the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH

it just broke that israel has seized 1,977 acres of west bank land for settlement, which marks the largest land theft since 1993. west bank raids are also seeing an all-time high, with a a reuters article stating a series of israeli raids raised the palestinian death toll in the west bank to 10. there are palestinians being abducted as well, a lot of whom are children. the west bank is slowly being eaten up by both israeli settlers and raids, but this is barely being covered by mainstream media.

It’s always “we need more elven men in love with mortal women” so can we make some noise for gentle and caring Mithrim Sinda Annael in unrequited love with suicidally depressed eight months pregnant tenderhearted poet Rian and raising her baby and passing down what she shared of her music in her memory after he can’t save her. Or am I alone out here

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

I always roll my eyes at posts about what "true punk" is/was and how it was always a left-wing thing because, like, the Sex Pistols were on of the first popular punk rock bands and they were recognized right from the start as posers who had no coherent politics beyond trying to shock people
