Ngl when I saw the previews of En Francais I assumed it was gonna turn out Sophie had Alison's gift and her and Robin's friendship wasn't one sided, and he just never mentioned it because he knew Humphrey would be bummed, and as good and sad as the episode is, part of me still wishes I'd have got the first one.

First time I ever heard Achilles come down was at a university cabaret a while ago and it was HAUNTING. in the best way. It was a duet with a dude and a girl and when they sang that overlapping section OH MY GOD. oh my god. All this to say it's stuck in my brain always and forever and no the original does not scratch the same itch

First, I need people to know this is not a hypothetical. I repeat: this is not a drill. People really do say 'christ-mass' isn't actually christian and therefore not culturally christian, same as culturally christian atheists aren't christian.

Second, they didn't really steal it; many people already had their own holiday that happened to be on the same day because humans like partying on solstices. The christians just started celebrating Jesus day and over time the non-christian traditions were forgotten and neglected in majority-christian regions. The pagan holidays were forgotten because there were no more pagans. They didn't actively push yule out the way other holidays are now being pushed out of christian worldviews. You know that narrative of Hanukkah being 'just Jewish christmas' and getting annoyed at the phrase 'happy holidays'? Actively preventing existing religious groups from celebrating their own holidays while framing them as jesus-day anyway? That's what stealing a holiday looks like.

Third, if I take a piece of wood and carve it into a cross, it's now a cross, whether that wood was mine or no. If I take a party and give it christian values, belief systems and thought patterns, and a focus on christianity as default for religion, that's culturally christian, no matter what it was before.

Go celebrate Yule, I do too. But don't pretend it makes christmas any less christian.

now that it’s november and the dreaded holiday months are here can we all agree that if a muslim or a jewish person is complaining about cultural christianity, and you go on that post and say “well, christmas isn’t even christian it was yule and christians stole it”, then i get to hit you with the thousand energy beams attack

watching death note with my family and after the college entrance episode my mom asked offhandedly if anyone had ever pictured L and light as a couple before. it felt like one single white dove had landed on a crystalline lake in a beautiful pure clearing. no i dont think anyones ever thought of that before

idk man but something about Stanley "taught himself extremely advance physics/math/probably many other things while running a relatively successful business" Pines and Stanford "is wanted in almost every dimension with a judicial system of some kind" Pines is sooo fucking funny to me

favorite photo of all time not even joking

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?

interaction i have with shocking regularity is when someone’s complaining abt someone they know and theyre like “ughh they’re 21 and dont have a job and refuse to learn to drive” and then they remember who they’re talking to (me. 21 cant work cant drive) and go like

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.
