Do you ever think about how Tolkien’s vision of the greatest evil in the universe was something he referred to as “The Machine” which was his way of talking about accelerated industrialism and mass surveillance and he wrote multiple books where the main villains were a dragon who sits on a huge pile of treasure that he never intends to use but incinerates anyone who comes near it, a man in a giant tower who’s wrecking the environment with his factories, and an evil being who uses what’s essentially a listening device to control the citizens of middle earth. And now Amazon is making a Tolkien show. Do you ever think about that.

ONLY FOUR EPISODES? FINAL SEASON? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
I can imagine that the showrunners had to fight like hell to get even that, and I'm grateful for them not giving up.
But the fact that queer audiences are still being seen as not worth investing in, makes me so angry.
Here's showrunner Will Graham's statement on this:

okay so fuck Amazon. this is not about the strike, WGA/SAG-AFTRA aren’t the cause of this. this is about corporate greed and the purposeful and blatant silencing of queer/wlw stories and interests. so, in case anyone forgot, FUCK AMAZON.

Well shit. Amazon has shut down fabric.com with basically zero notice. I'm pretty pissed about this; they've been open for over 30 years and had a fantastic search and filtering system on their website, plus a large range of natural fiber by-the-yard fabric.

Once again Amazon makes everything worse.

I WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE OF RINGS OF POWER (illegally) SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO:
I will list all the bad things and the good things of the first episode. Fair warning, I am right and those articles which calls this piece of steaming shit a masterpiece is wrong.
BAD THINGS-
The acting is sub par and so uncaring that it literally didn't feel like a real, just under a billion dollar, fantasy show based off of the legendary writing of J.R.R Tolkien.(Rest in peace, you deserve the world.)
Galadriel is a Mary-Sue (the perfect person. Everybody wants to be her, she is so 'cool' Rawr XD Uwu) and she is short despite being described in the books as taller than most elvish women and almost half of elvish men.
Elrond seems to have a crush on her and that just makes me nauseated.
Galadriel, if I should even call her that, wears the fëanorian star on every wardrobe item she owns it seems.
Actually, all the elves are the same height or even under it when compared to the humans.
The music sounds more like Game of Thrones than anything even remotely associated with LOTR.
The costume design in terrible. The material is cheap and plastic, they don't even try to conceal it. In one scene you can see that one of the background characters is wearing a black T-shirt underneath the clothes.
They barely say any of the characters' names (except Galadriel, which they repeat almost constantly). I had to google their names.
Brondir is the edgy warrior who is in love with the single mother (already forgot her name) who tries to help everyone around her.
The Harfoots, I also forgot all of their names, are the Hobbits of the second age and I hate the other main character whom comes from them. She is the relatable, clumsy character who is super curious. In other words, the most over used and predictable trope in all of film history.
They bring in new monsters/creatures that Tolkien never, ever wrote about. They probably needed these cliches to make the first episode more interesting.
The CGI sucks especially when Galadriel is climbing the glacier, icy, mounting thingy. The water is jelly and a piece of Valinor's sky literally clips out if you look really closely.
They jump locations every two minutes which gave me a headache and somehow the series is both fast and slow...AT THE SAME TIME!
There is really no heart in it. The entire thing was apathetic and simply lacked soul (because they sold their souls for money).
GOOD THINGS-
Gil-galad, his character actually looks canon and the actor is putting his heart into the performance thus making him the best.
The make-up of the orcs is simply beautiful. If only the rest of the series was.
Any scene with Sauron and the mentions of Morgoth is cool as it feels as if they have actual power in the otherwise boring show.
So far it sucks (no surprise there). I wanted to break my TV simply because their disrespect towards the source material is so obvious. Tomorrow my brain will have recovered enough to watch episode 2: Shit becomes shitier.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

laughing at people who act like tolkien never specified the elves' hair lengths. i'm reading the fall of gondolin right now and if i took a shot for every time i read about "long hair flowing in the wind" or "streaming out behind him" i'd have alcohol poisoning by now

When I started watching a league of their own last year, I had no idea the journey to self discovery I would end up on.
I’ve been attracted to girls in my life, but had never fully worked out that this is what that was. Having grown up in the intense homophobia and misogyny of the 2000s, which was in every tv show and movie, I never ever saw myself on screen, never saw women loving women, never saw lesbians even existing outside of bate for the male gaze.
A league of their own was so special as it finally portrayed all of us. We finally saw loving lesbian relationships AND set in a time that we never see even focused on women.. let alone lesbians!!
There was so much potential for this show to explore even more than it covered in its monumental first season
and more importantly FOR YOUNG QUEER AND CLOSETED GIRLS TO FEEL SEEN!!!!
For shame Amazon. Fuck you Jeffrey bezos

I was a little heartbroken to see my favorite local cafe selling these stickers, so I made a list of some Deaf artists selling their art online.
[Image ID: a Be kind sticker with English and ASL except 4 instead of B handshape, S instead of E, V instead of K, S instead of N, and 1 instead of D. Over the sticker are the words "this is why we don't buy art from Amazon" with "part of the reason" inserted between "this is" and "why". The word "Wrong" is above all the incorrect handshapes and "wrong in the same way is pointing to the S handshapes that are meant to represent the E and N.
