Watched the first episode of Shogun. It’s a beautifully shot and produced show. However, I am very disappointed at what a fucking idiot Blackthorne is. “We’re just merchants! We speak Portuguese! Be cool!” he tells his men. And the first thing he does when he encounters a Portuguese Catholic is be like, “Fuck you, Papist!!!!”

Way to blow your cover 🤦🏻‍♀️

What I will say is that at least it’s not that Tom Cruise Last Samurai movie. Like, Budget Tom Hardy doesn’t just show up and start kicking ass and bending society to his will

#shogun #john blackthorne #I have not read the book #maybe he’s less of a fucking idiot there

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

this is a total normal thing for ANOTHER COUNTRY'S foreign intelligence agency front to say to American university students who are peacefully demonstrating against the genocide and oppression of Palestinians

as i approach the end of my lease im reminded of this beautiful fixture in my home

thank you, landlords, for everything you do.

im not sure what it is you do, but you make significantly more money than me so it must be something, right?

#lmao #the notes on this post are great #it’s not just landlords though #the previous owners of my house lived here for forty years #and the house was full of janky stuff like this #like those people raised three kids in this house with exposed wires lying around

Never mind my corpse, my corpse will be too dead to care what happens. In a choice between the two worst case scenarios, the bear will probably kill me faster and rape me less.

There's a whole bunch of TikTok drama at the moment after someone posted a video asking "would you rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a strange man?"

And the men are *very upset* that nearly every woman replied with "....obviously a bear."

It's honestly wild (I think some of these guys think that bears are movie monsters, craving human flesh).

But it boils down to this- they want you to expect the worst from the bear and the best from the stranger, and they are deeply offended that this isn't the case. 🤷

Papercraft commission of Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian (and Li'l Apple and a bunny), in a pose inspired by Gustav Klimt's famous painting The Kiss! Lan Wangji may be a little disgruntled at being interrupted, but Wei Wuxian is, of course, laughing the whole time.

This piece had some of the most complicated layering I've ever done in a papercraft, which meant I had to take even more care than usual with how every piece of paper was placed and the order in which they could be glued - and I already take a lot of care with that, no matter what I'm making! But the extra time was definitely worth it - I'm really happy with how the final piece came out. ^_^ A very sweet scene for WangXian!

the Columbia University arrests are worse than they seem. They're arresting protesting students for trespassing. It goes without saying students cannot meaningfully "trespass" in the common areas of a university they attend. So Columbia University has suspended all student protestors from their institution, in the process revoking their access to housing, their belonging, and most crucially damaging their academic futures. We are witnessing full scale silencing and removal of anyone of conscience from the next generation of academia.

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary

Suld sometimes pops up on my Spotify recommended lists! Nine Treasures is, of course, my fave. I will have to check the rest out. Thanks!

The hu is the best band actually not because their music is an ingenious mix of traditional Mongolian folk styles and modern metal but because they make a fiddle make a horse noise

new poll. are you going to marry a passionate antistratfordian who nonetheless loves the works, or someone who doesn't like shakespeare at all but understands he was real

#lmao #poll #shakespeare #antistratfordian for my purposes #I like the plays and would appreciate someone who can enjoy them for the way they’re written and performed #personally I do not care if they believe some weird conspiracy theory about who wrote them #like y’all can’t even take taylor swift’s word for it that she’s straight #and she’s still alive right now
