science fiction was invented so lesbians would have something to talk about with their fathers

you have to be able to defend people who are receiving unjust treatment even if they annoy you even if you personally find them extremely annoying you still have to be able to stand up and say "well thats fucked up"

Once I "made" a custom emoji for my mum by crudely drawing a hijab on it and now whenever she wants me to buy a coffee for her I get a text like this

this is mostly my personal diary. but i also polishpost a lot, i love prl and soviet cinema, and i'm a proud lekturki enjoyer. i have a passing interest in both the french revolution and napoleon, i believe in toxic salieri/mozart yaoi supremacy, and there's a portrait of kościuszko hanging above my desk. other things that you can expect to see sprinkled here and there on this blog: musical theatre, pathologic, ace attorney, house md, sherlock holmes, les mis, stirlitz jokes, longing posts about the sea, art for media i have never in my life interacted with, and various text posts of the complaining and/or funny type

you can always interact with me and my posts in whatever way. just like a spider, i am more afraid of you than you could ever be afraid of me

"the western narratives around opponents of western hegemony are often biased and distorted and not actually reflective of reality and shouldn't be taken uncritically"

yes absolutely

"so the best way to counteract those biased narratives is to uncritically believe whatever the counternarrative is"

no, you don't actually have to do that

Evander Mills is the soggiest sadboi I have ever seen, I wanna put him in a cardboard box and shake him, but he would just sob so hard he'd soak the bottom of the cardboard box and it would tear off, sliding his little sorrowful lump out onto the floor where he would just lie there sniffling in a puddle of his own tears

He's the silent mysterious figure sitting in the shadowy corner of the (gay) bar bc if someone talked to him he'd just burst into tears and apologize for breathing, top notch character design, I need twenty more in this series

When I’m reading smut and the author breaks the flow of the story so that the characters can tell us that they have enthusiastic consent it feels exactly like when Dora the Explorer looks directly into the camera and says ‘Seat belts so we can be safe!’ anytime she gets into a motorized vehicle.
