Hello. I bought a shirt that has many pride flags on it, and one I didn’t recognize. The internet doesn’t seem to know if this is an intersex or bi-gender flag, could I have some help? Feel free to link posts or websites with info as to this flag’s origin and meaning. Thank you <3

Image ID: a close-up of a black shirt, with several heart-shaped pride flags on the fabric. The flag in the center of the photo has six (6) stripes. Top to bottom, they are lavender/light purple, white, blue, pink/possibly peach, white, and lavender/light purple again.

( If you don’t know the answer, please reblog so that it might reach someone who does! Thank you <3 )

How would you go about rebooting/modernizing "Flash Gordon" in a way that minimizes and/or mitigates the yellow peril in its DNA (e.g., Ming) but still keeps it recognizable and palatable to the fans? I always thought it'd be interesting to race-flip it, especially if one were to base Flash on someone like indigenous athlete and Olympian Jim Thorpe.

You know, when I heard about the Sex Archie show, at first, I thought it was a joke trailer from College Humor or something. But now, thinking it over, I realize it was absolutely genius.

The Riverdale approach (grounding something in sexuality) may not necessarily work for everything, but it would absolutely work for Flash Gordon specifically, because Flash Gordon always very much had in its DNA a kind of European sexuality mingled with experimental art direction, something like Barbarella or Heavy Metal comics. The comics always had whipping scenes, dungeons, seraglios, seductions, hypnotic compulsions into service, and arch enemies who pin their foe by pressing their wrists against a wall. It's very interesting to compare it to the far more non-sexual Star Wars movies that it supposedly inspired. If you do an adult version - emphasis on the adult - something like Game of Thrones but pushes it even further, it would absolutely work. Flash Gordon is not an antihero (he's more an audience identification POV character like Ned Stark who is a stand in for the moral values of the audience), but the planet Mongo is surrounded by antiheroes. Are you telling me that Prince Barin, if push came to shove, couldn't kill in cold blood?

The best possible person to helm a reboot of Flash Gordon would be a cokehead lunatic Italian who threatens his actors by pulling out a knife on set while yelling gibberish. You know, the kind of guy who directs all my favorite movies. I'm reminded of the very fascinating costumes and designs that Heavy Metal artist (and lunatic Italian, what a plus!) Milo Manara did for an aborted remake of Barbarella starring Drew Barrymore in the mid-2000s.

A project that absolutely captures the spirit of what I am talking about is Taika Waikiki's Thor: Ragnarok, which merely flirted with 80s Heavy Metal themes and suggested debauchery within the constraints of its' rating.

Or better yet, Steven Sommers, director of the Mummy (you know, the good one from 1999) would do something amazing with this material. The target audience for a Flash Gordon revival would be the people who share memes that say "my sexual orientation is the cast of the Mummy"). God, Tumblr would crack in half and get a new favorite show, which is why it amazes me that they haven't added Tigra to the Marvel movies yet. Incidentally, I think the Masters of the Universe who create our culture are absolutely sleeping on how absolutely essential that movie is to the generation that grew up around the turn of the 20th century (much like how Gen Z views Polar Express as a classic for some reason).

Hey...Lady Gaga loves to act, doesn't she? You know, I bet she would understand this material immediately, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a huge fan. I mean, she already dresses like she came from Ming's Throne Room. She loves art direction and burlesque. She's also of Italian origin (hey, it doesn't hurt). I'm not sure if she's ever read Heavy Metal (I doubt it, as she's not a pot dealer older brother who listens to Primus) but I think she'd get it, because she doesn't think pop "low" culture is a dirty word. Regular people who would sleep on yet another Flash Gordon revival would watch if she was in it somehow, or involved in production.

the phenomenon of tedious people reacting to any depiction of eroticism between women (even erotic art made by and for wlw) with knee-jerk handwringing about Male Gaze, even at this point being well removed from the academic use and original coining by Mulvey, made me want to look into whether the original concept was similarly homophobic in content, either explicitly hostile toward lesbians and bi women, or at least implicitly homophobic by just writing us off as irrelevant

so far it looks like we're first and foremost written off but otherwise explicitly distrusted for Taking Up Masculine Voyeurism To Consume Women. e.g. as Mulvey is quoted here:

In “Personal Best: Lesbian/Feminist Audience” (1984), Chris Straayer also argues that lesbian spectatorship is misunderstood by many feminist film theorists as an alternative form of the male gaze. He posits: Lesbians have persistently been misassigned a male point of view by straight society. Sexual preference is confused with gender identity. Freudian and Lacanian psychology fosters this misconception by its denial of active female sexuality. Lesbians are a vulnerable target for any theory that terms activity as “phallic”. One conclusion apparent from my survey of lesbian/feminist viewers is that they are not consuming sexist imagery from a male point of view (Straayer, n.p.). In this passage, Straayer theorizes that understanding lesbian desire as a woman’s masculinized disposition in the phallic stage of psychosexual development is wrong since it is heteronormative and reinforces a “denial of female sexuality” (ibid)51. This denial of female sexuality is evident in “Afterthoughts on ‘Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema’” (1981), where Mulvey notes that masculinized female spectatorship can only be active if it limits feminine behaviours and takes up a “phallic” gaze (39). As she posits: The masculine identification, in its phallic aspect, reactivates for her a fantasy of ‘action’ that correct femininity demands should be repressed. The fantasy of ‘action’ finds expression through a metaphor of masculinity. Both in the language used by Freud and in the male personifications of desire flanking the female protagonist in the melodrama, this metaphor acts as a straight-jacket, becoming itself an indicator, a litmus paper, of the problems inevitably activated by any attempt to represent the feminine in patriarchal society. The memory of the ‘masculine’ phase has its own romantic attraction, a last-ditch resistance, in which the power of masculinity can be used as postponement against the power of patriarchy (ibid). In this passage, Mulvey theorizes that the only way a female spectator can gain an authoritative “phallic” looking position is to adopt a masculine position to help her situate her spectatorial desires in the “fantasy of action” (ibid). However, as discussed by other theorists the lesbian spectator does not limit or obstruct her looking by suturing her gaze to a masculinized or “phallic” perspective.

idk maybe if I weren't sick of so much of the legacy of Epic Second Wave Feminist Academia I would be more generous but from what I'm seeing the homophobia/misogyny does run through from the original theorization to the modern casual usage of “some of you/us dykes are horny for women which is really male-identified and predatory of you/us”

but if I'm misunderstanding or someone can point me toward clarification about this I'd appreciate anyone letting me know

A violent man in a dress was recorded insulting and encouraging violence towards women but didn't like it whapen his crap was recorded. Because how can Trans Laydees claim to be the victim when his hatefullness towards women was recorded?

By Genevieve Gluck October 13, 2023

A women’s rights activist was kicked out of a bar in Glasgow last night, reportedly because she “looked like a TERF.” Jenny Watson says she was surrounded by trans activists and forced out of the bar after silently recording a drag queen insulting Harry Potter creator JK Rowling and other women who are critical of gender ideology.

Following the incident, Watson took to her X account to explain that she had been sitting silently and recording a drag performer at the Polo Lounge in Glasgow as he made derogatory remarks about women he classified as “TERFs.” While the acronym means “trans-exclusionary radical feminists,” it has been applied more broadly to any woman critical of gender ideology, and is often used alongside threats of violence.

“For the first time in my life, I have just got chucked out of a gay bar,” Watson said in a series of videos she shared. “There was a drag act… I took a video of him saying that there’s going to be ‘a thousand TERFs’ in Glasgow tomorrow… we hate the TERFs.'”

Watson described how she was swiftly challenged by the crowd when she began filming the drag performer as he made statements against “the TERFs.”

“Everybody surrounded me, and they were [saying], ‘You look like a TERF, you shouldn’t be here. This isn’t the right place for you.’ I was literally just there, sitting with my drink. I was not being rude, doing anything… and they were telling me, ‘You look like a fucking loser.’ Then the bouncers came over.”

In another video clip of the incident Watson shared on X, drag and burlesque performer Tom Harlow can be seen standing on stage naming women’s rights campaigners such as JK Rowling, Julie Bindel, and Member of Parliament Joanna Cherry, all of whom have vocally opposed sex self-identification policies which allow men to be legally designated as “female” without restrictions.

“Joanna Cherry, Julie Bindel, and JK Rowling are all meant to be speaking this weekend,” Harlow says, while audience members react with disgust. Harlow then informs the crowd that Glasgow Trans Rally had organized a counter-protest outside of the venue scheduled for the following day. He adds that he intends to attend the demonstration to “sing show tunes at bigots,” and says, “We fucking hate you, Joanna,” while miming a punch with a clenched fist

Harlow’s statement was a reference to the women’s rights conference known as FiLiA, a two-day event being held over the weekend. FiLiA was launched in 2013 with the purpose of “strengthening the Women’s Liberation Movement” and upholding women’s sex-based rights, including the right to female-only spaces and protection from male violence.

Trans activists had attempted to have the conference shut down in the days leading up to the event. Glasgow Trans Rally encouraged their supporters to target the venue and harass event organizers on social media. Two days before the conference, the venue’s management attempted to cancel FiLiA’s reservation, but backed down after being told they should expect a legal challenge if they followed through.

Watson continued to explain that one of the bouncers who had her removed from Polo Lounge informed her that the staff were taking “extra precautions” due to the FiLiA conference.

“I had no idea who this drag artist was,” she says, incredulous. “Then I got a few messages from people saying, ‘The person you’re recording is unhinged.'”

Watson continued in a statement: “The Polo Glasgow is unsafe for lesbians. If you are a lesbian do not go there, especially alone, you will be put at risk. You will be told that ‘you look like a pathetic loser for going alone.’ You will be surrounded by a mob and then the bouncers will kick you out, simply for having a drink and recording (as one does) part of a drag act.”

Watson explains that she had been approached by groups of people who “recognized” her from social media, and were clearly looking for a hostile exchange.

“I engaged civilly with them, yet still I was the one who was kicked out. I repeat – this establishment is dangerous for lesbians. This is new homophobia and lesbians are at the bottom of the hierarchy.”

Watson has been the target of abuse in the past due to her experience speaking out for the rights of lesbian women to hold single-sex events. Earlier this year, she came under fire after voicing frustration with the trans-identified males claiming to be lesbians who were attending weekly lesbian speed dating evenings she organized in London.

Watson described to journalist Julie Bindel how one trans-identified man pushed himself against a lesbian in the restroom.

Another was seen sporting a visible erection while wearing purple spandex. Several trans activists created a WhatsApp group in order to coordinate their attempts to have her lesbian-only events shut down by urging participants to complain to venue staff. She has also been reported to her London council employers as “transphobic” for insisting that “lesbians don’t have penises.”

As he stated he would, Harlow turned up outside of the FiLiA conference with a small crowd of protesters, where he has been recorded shouting “fuck you” at the women in attendance.

In a brief biography of Harlow provided to Miss Burlesque Scotland, a competition for which he has performed and competed, Harlow is described as “an international and award-winning showboy” known for his “classic stripteases with a male twist, bump & grind as well as his unique vocal blend of showtunes & FILTH!”

Harlow previously drew criticism in July after Glasgow museum The Burrell Collection hosted an all-ages LGBT event where Harlow performed. The museum hit back at critics by stating, “The Burrell Collection is an inclusive, welcoming museum and the Pride event celebrates this. Tom Harlow is performing classic cabaret and giving insight into the art of performance make-up in a set for all ages.”

Harlow’s website features photos and purchasable prints of himself naked. As previously reported by Reduxx, Harlow has performed as a merman in an adult strip show called “The Salty Seaman”. He would later adapt the character to be aimed at children.

Last fall, a cabaret performance by Harlow intended for children under 12 was cancelled following public outcry.

Earlier I read a post (reblogged by @scribefindegil​) that was about how people criticize stories that feature children having to fight the Big Evil themselves, and often these are criticisms of “child soldiers” and “where are the parents”, etc.  I admit, I’ve had that criticism of some works, myself; and the post is making the point that the people most likely to criticize those aspects of that kind of story aren’t the actual target audience.  Which I get!

I’m mentioning that and linking to the post because I did not want to append this in a reblog of it, since this is not meant to be a refutation of the point, or anything.  It’s just that reading that reminded me of a thing that I Really Like About Gravity Falls, and it seemed like a good jumping off point for summarizing those thoughts.  (In this, a week where we’re celebrating GF leading up to the 10th anniversary.)

You all will recognize the sequence above, of course!

I came to Gravity Falls as an adult; and, while I love Dipper and Mabel, and love watching their adventures and their growth, they weren’t my point of identification with the series.  (I’m putting that as an “and” and not a “so” or “therefore”, because I think it’s perfectly valid for adults who watched  and loved the series to identify with Dipper and Mabel!  I’m just saying this from my own perspective.)

Gravity Falls, obviously, is a balancing act (in the first season especially) with allowing the kids to have all kinds of adventures, some of which are Very Hairy, while keeping the main “parental” / adult authority figure (Stan) sidelined from those events for various reasons.  And the thing is, that worked for me.  While you are watching Season 1, I think, the impression you get is that Stan might be oblivious to some of the supernatural stuff Dipper and Mabel are dealing with; and at least, that’s what the kids believe.  (Of course we know Stan has his own deal going on and we don’t know what that is; and I know people watching S1 really question whether Stan is as oblivious as he sometimes seems.)

That works better for me than “the adults all know about the Big Evil (or the Big Problem or what have you), but they feel they cannot do anything about it and so they will not do anything about it”. 

In Stan’s case, of course, we finally get an explanation for his whole deal, and THEN the show addresses his absence from some of the supernatural problems.  He hangs a lantern on it by saying that he thought pretending he didn’t know would keep the kids from finding out, and keep them safe.  (Who knows if that really would have worked, had Dipper not found Journal 3?  I mean, probably not.  But Stan did not know that Dipper had a source telling him all about a bunch of the supernatural stuff, in his hands.)

Anyway -- what we see during Season 1 is that Dipper and Mabel are very capable of dealing with things themselves.  They’re brave and resourceful.  They’re not stepping up because the adults won’t, or can’t.  In fact, despite Dipper’s protests, they spend S1 hiding most of their adventures from Stan. (Or certainly not bringing him into their confidence; until the very end.)

But what I love is that even though Dipper and Mabel are very brave and resourceful, when push comes to shove (and when circumstances align), an adult steps up, and helps them with problems they can’t (and probably shouldn’t be) handle on their own.  (See Stan’s entrance in “Scary-oke”, above.)

This is echoed of course at the end of the series.  Once again, we get Dipper and Mabel asserting their bravery and confidence in the idea that they can deal with Bill.  And indeed, they’d just been demonstrating in a bunch of ways that they CAN fight Bill and leave a mark on him.  But I was just so, so grateful that when they said, “Save yourselves! Run! We’ll take care of Bill!”  Stan and Ford immediately protest this.

The adults aren’t going to leave the Big Evil to the kids to defeat, because the adults are too afraid, or too pessimistic, or whatever.  The adults WANT to intervene, and they are prevented from doing so.

Again, that works for me, because it allows the kids to take action, and contribute, without the narrative having them do so because there’s no other way, or no other choice.

And in the end, of course, it comes back to the adults stepping up -- to deal with the problem that originated with them, a problem that is indeed too big for the kids to defeat.

And yet, the narrative comes back and allows the kids one more huge moment of agency and triumph, where their optimism and actions ARE responsible for completing the narrative’s happy ending.

I’m not saying that every narrative has to be like this!  I just wanted to ramble a bit about something I really like about Gravity Falls and the way it handles the empowerment of its kid protagonists, alongside involving adults who do take responsibility and step in to help or to accomplish things that, really, the kids shouldn’t be left alone to deal with.

If there was an award for the most ignorant comment this user would win it without any effort.

This comment is below a video from the SciShow Psych youtube channel that talks about why so many people love villains.

The video talks about the fact that in some cases certain people are attracted to a certain villain because they possess dark traits similar to that character, but obviously it doesn't apply to everyone.

Research has shown that NON-MORAL factors can drive viewers to like a certain character, even if it's a villain:

This is possible precisely because it's FICTION, so the example this guy gave with candy doesn't make sense at all.

As for facial expressions, such as a mischievous smile, audiences may find them attractive because they are intimidating and denote confidence and intelligence, regardless of context. Moreover, even heroes can instill fear through facial expressions.

As for clothing, according to this guy's reasoning then all the people who like to wear black or dress in a goth style are criminals?

You can be a shitty person even if you dress in bright colors.

Two prime examples of this? The Joker and Dolores Umbridge.

As you can see they wear elegant and colorful clothes. Does that make them good people? Spoilers: No.

Now you are probably wondering "Why is this so important to you?".

When I was 14 me, my best friend and a friend of ours were for months the target of a Christian boy who called us Satanists, wished us several times that we would get cancer and called me and my best friend whores only because at the time we mostly listened to metal music. In particular we were fans of Marilyn Manson.

This user's behavior reminds me a lot of that Christian boy's behavior, because they are on the same level of ignorance.

Educate yourself instead of pointing fingers and judging someone just because they like a certain fictional character.

Anyway here is the SciShow video. It's done very well and the author of the video has raised some very interesting points:

Challenge 2

My dissertation aims to create a digital game in European Portuguese as a means of supporting language therapy for preschool children, both in session and at home. Note that the purpose of this work has been narrowed, from speech and language therapy to language therapy, as a result of further discussions with my advisors, including the therapist.

Speech and language therapy are two separate fields of study, and each subdivides itself into many different areas of intervention, meaning it would not be feasible to aim for a solution that would encompass all areas. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association [1], people with a spoken language disorder (SLD) face challenges in acquiring and using language due to difficulties in comprehension and/or production in any, or multiple, of the 5 domains of language: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics.

Having little to no prior knowledge about these topics, especially scientifically supported information and data, it is of the utmost importance that preliminary research is conducted about subjects such as:

Spoken language disorders in preschool children;

Different methods used during therapy intervention sessions for preschool children;

Mechanics used in digital games to assist language/speech therapy for preschool children;

Methods used in digital games to best engage preschool children, in order to retain their attention, and enhance the potential for better results;

Methods used in digital games to include the parents of preschool children.

This information will be sourced from scientific literature, such as peer-reviewed studies, and conference papers, but also from conversations with specialists in the field of speech and language therapy for children.

The exploration and understanding of the most relevant studies and theories on these topics, as well as the current context of the problem is, indeed, invaluable. It will be a continuous component of this dissertation, with a heightened focus during the initial stages of the project. This will establish a strong, robust foundation of knowledge, allowing for a deeper understanding of the issues at hand, and, in turn, fuel me with information that can directly be applied to the conceptualization, development, testing and deployment of a possible solution.

The purpose of the game will be to immerse children in a new universe, making therapy not feel like therapy. This will be achieved by delivering intervention exercises as a means of achieving progress in the overall game, for example having to answer correctly to the identification of images to unlock a door and move on to new challenges. There are age-appropriate considerations that need to be taken into account when designing the game, such as the developmental stage of the target audience and how to appeal to them, as explored in Chapter 9 of Digital Storytelling, Tackling Projects for Children [2]. It is, however, yet to be determined if these exercises will encompass all five domains of SLD, or focus on the selection of a few. The Programa de Intervenção em Competências Linguísticas [3] is the only Portuguese-validated program for intervention in the domains of semantics, morphology and syntax, and is currently and habitually used by therapists in sessions. It provides great insight into what types of games and play are employed with preschool children, which will later serve as an inspiration, and moulded to fit a digital game format, used amongst other game mechanics directed towards this age group.

Therefore, this represents an instance of action research, more specifically interactive research, using an interpretive approach. The primary goal is to address a practical issue, specifically the absence of digital game-based resources within the context of Portuguese language therapy for preschool children. This involves taking proactive steps and developing a solution, therefore action research, commencing with a comprehensive and thorough literature review on pertinent subjects to best inform future decision-making for the product. These decisions will be shared with all stakeholders, and their experiences with the product will be assessed, to register, and subsequently analyze, all their input and feedback. If deemed necessary and feasible, adjustments will be made to the product, in order for it to best fit the requirements, perspectives, motivations and expectations of the professional practitioners and the target audience, hence an interpretive approach. This forms a cyclical process, as the product will continually undergo development and improvement phases, thus too, an interactive approach to the development of a solution.

Moreover, considering that the primary objective of this dissertation is not to validate the solution through a case study, but rather to introduce a solution validated by the stakeholders actively engaged in the process, it paves the way for potential future research with an explanatory focus, as other researchers may be interested in assessing the potential impact of my work.

PROOFREADERS WANTED

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

The Mission:

Proofread 5k words of a Top Secret children's story. It's the first in a set of 3, and revolves around a dragon who doesn't know his name.

Requirements:

To have 1+ miniature humans between the ages of 0 - 7 years, or to have a miniature human who was previously that age.

To comment on the story with your honest thoughts & reactions based on your experience with miniature humans - either your own or those you've been responsible for.

If possible, to include some notes about how your miniature human reacted to the story or how they would have reacted if they were still in that age group.

To send the comments & notes on the piece back to Selkie before the deadline closes.

Additional information:

There are themes of self-identification, nontraditional family dynamics, queer parenting and adoption throughout this story. The author is lgbtq+, and this story is the first in a series of 3 which address elements of queer life, broken down for children and parents of all backgrounds to empathise with.

This one deals with choosing your own identity and your own community - even if it's not the name you're given and even if it's not the community who society says you're supposed to fit in with.

The target audience is queer children and queer / lgbtqia+ families, and aims to start or aid casual conversations about figuring out where we belong and where we feel free to be our most authentic selves. If it helps lgbt+ children express themselves, or helps parents explain a loved-one's transition or coming out, then that's incredible.

It is not required that the proofreaders be in a family with lgbtqia+ members, since this book is for everyone - but it is a consistent theme throughout, so proofreaders should be aware of that.

The deadline: 17th November 2022

All comments and notes should be completed by 6pm on November 27th, 2022 (EST).

BONUS:

All proofreaders will be given first dibs on the finished book when it's published. There will be art throughout it depicting the characters and pivotal scenes.

THIS ART WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE PROOFREADING DRAFT.

The art is staying 100% under wraps until the final book is published. It will be up for purchasing via Amazon in time for Christmas, so would be a great gift or stocking filler!!!

California WTF?

By Shay Woulahan. October 21, 2023

An NPR-affiiated public broadcaster has released a sympathetic profile on a trans-identified male inmate accused of sexual assault and threatening female inmates while serving his sentence in a women’s prison. KQED, the member station for NPR and PBS in Northern California, suggested Syiaah Skylit was a victim of transphobic hoaxes and targeted punishment.

Skylit, born Jonathan Roberston, is currently serving a 16-year sentence on multiple counts of robbery with a gun. While he had initially been placed in a men’s prison, Skylit, along with the help of trans activists, fought for transfer to a women’s facility, and was eventually placed at the California Central Women’s Facility (CCWF) in mid-2021.

Skylit was one of many male inmates who were transferred to CCWF following the implementation of SB 132, also known as the Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act.

A trans-identified male musician in California is currently touring and performing songs calling for the murder of women critical of gender identity ideology. Precious Child, who previously involved himself in the Wi Spa controversy, utilizes graphic sexual and violent threats against “TERFs” in his music.

During his most recent performance at the Knockout Bar in San Francisco, Precious Child performed his song “TERF Killer,” riling the audience into chanting “kill a TERF today.”

TERF, an acronym standing for “Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist,” is often broadly applied to all women who oppose the belief that males should be able to self-identify as female for the purposes of access to women’s spaces.

In a video of the performance shared to his YouTube account, Precious Child can be seen chanting “kill a TERF today” while the accompanying music video is shown on a screen behind him. The video features images of bullets and of a knife stabbing into the air as the words “kill a TERF today” flash repeatedly across the screen.

Precious Child has a history of repeatedly threatening critics of gender ideology, with a particular focus reserved for females who oppose gender self-identification law ........ Precious has also made repeated threats against world-renowned author JK Rowling.
