why does all or at least most fanfic have to be shipping. like when you think of fanfic you think of corny romance. why can't i read about the members of abba in a zombie apocalypse or something that'd be so cool

Smokey and the Bandit is such a great movie you guys

probably

it’s an old movie my grandpa has on VHS, and I haven’t watched it in a hot minute so it’s very possible there’s something wildly racist or sexist or homophobic in there

actually wait no there’s the banzai guy, that’s definitely racist

there’s probably more, it’s set in Arkansas and Georgia in the year 19-something, Imma say sixties/seventies/eighties, so…

OKAY BUT

ITS STILL MOSTLY PROBABLY A PRETTY GOOD MOVIE

it’s got Americana and cars and crime and silly incompetent cops who bear fair resemblance to a former orange president we may know of and a dog named FRED

and TRUCKER HANDLES

and a bar fight that my mom wouldn’t let us watch when we (me and my brother) were six and seven ish, which was convenient since it’s interspersed with the kissing scene (*shouting from backstage* EW GROSS)

but point is

good movie

good old Murican probably racist movie

I bring this up because my brother randomly pulled up the song (EAST BOUND N DOWN, ROLLING UP AND TRUCKIN, WE GONNA DO WHAT THEY SAY CAN BE DONE) and we sang it and it was great and it made me happy, siblings are cool guys

I really don't think I will read any more of The Vampire Chronicles. There are obviously other reasons but like I loved where The Queen of the Damned ends. I just want to watch all of the vampires living in a house together, doing vampire shit, but also just doing domestic things too. Which is basically the premise of What We Do in the Shadows...

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

very funny (irritating) to me that everyone whined and yelled about stupid rainbow capitalism and how performative wokeness/allyship is a net bad we should all refuse to support and now like.

tumblr is doing nothing for pride and target isn't selling much (if any) of their pride collection offline except at certain stores (in democratic areas, basically) and build a bear has a much tinier collection than normal and all the actual pride stuff is on their "adult" website (not sure if it's in stores, but pride = adult is a hell of a message)

there are genuinely good criticisms for performative allyship in all its applications. it shouldn't be the only thing we expect from people and companies. but if all the shit I see being called performative stopped tomorrow then in terms of the LGBTQ+ community especially we just. wouldn't talk about queerness or queer issues or celebrate pride or do anything.

open your fucking eyes. we are very close politically to having gay marriage rolled back. now companies are basically being let off the hook to even make a miniscule effort (which matters to the people who don't have access to any other kind of support in their communities! which normalizes the community in public spaces!) because the only reaction they have gotten over the last few years are negative ones from BOTH sides.

we are so entrenched in discourse at all times for the sake of our OWN performance of who is the wokest and who is REALLY an ally or a good community member that we have basically handed over all the work of activists of the last several decades to the other side because we'd rather scream at each other over fucking chicken restaurants and shit than the real life backsliding that's happening.

and this goes for other shit too. feminism, poc rights, all of it.

also. trans rights aren't discourse and aren't just culture war arguments. in case any terfs think they can spin this to be antitrans.
