Why trash-talking J. K. Rowling (or anybody else) isn't OK (regardless of your political opinions and ideas).
Think of the way you routinely think of or speak about J. K. Rowling. If words such as "bitch", "cunt", "suck my cock", "nazi", "feminazi", "jerk", "die", or "go to hell" come to mind, then you have become a violent reactionary, sexist, misogynist, intolerant person, more similar to people from extreme political ideologies, such as the Nazi, than to any normal person, or any democratic person.
I'm a woman of many academic disciplines. Among the things I've profoundly studied are psychology, communications, social psychology, and the Nazi propaganda. So I am very much aware that what is behind of the sudden, intense hatred and intolerance, that goes on to be life-threatening and viscerally violent towards women and, in particular, those labelled "terfs" are the exact same things that characterise the Nazi Propaganda: a widely studied method of political propaganda nowadays used everywhere and for anything, including advertisement. First, you decide who you want to go against and create a problem to justify the hatred, i.e. "Jews take jobs" or "terfs kill trans people". Secondly, you try to seem reasonable by making unjustifiable punishment look justifiable, i.e., "I know making Jews scrub the roads with toothbrushes seems drastic, but you don't understand, Jews are thieves, they take jobs from honourable, good Germans, they deserve this, it'll teach them a lesson" or "Terfs deserve to die. I wouldn't wish death upon anybody, but terfs are the worst, don't you see they make people want to die? they deserve anything they get, it's for democracy". Third, you allow violence to progress and grow more disproportionated, more out of control, each time continuing to justify it with some excuse to make you feel better about it, and denying it when it gets too out of hand. I.e. the billions of people WORLDWIDE who refused to believe the Nazi genocide, or the billions of people worldwide who refuse to see the sexism of the violence against people who don't support the Trans-Radical-Activism-Movement, and who if pointed out to them, might say things like "yes well but they deserved it!".
If you are one of the people normally harbouring intense anger, resentment and violent, insulting thoughts towards people like J. K. Rowling, ask yourself this: when you spend your time and energy doing such things, are you spending a similar, or at least half, amount of your time and energy harbouring similar anger and feelings towards Adolf Hitler? He is directly responsible of the deaths of billions of people worldwide. How about towards Donald Trump, who provoked an anti-democratic Capitol assault resulting in the deaths of several people, opposed LGBT rights during his government, and constantly attacked immigrants and promoted laws against them while in government? How about towards Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak or David Cameron, who caused Brexit, which stole academic opportunities for millions of young people, caused one of the worst economic situations and rise of poverty and homelessness in Britain in ages, and a rise in xenophobia and violence against immigrants, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of immigrants in the English Channel, the incarceration of even European immigrants in "detention centers", and on laws attempting to deport immigrants to Rwanda? Do you, perhaps, hate, bully and insult them half as much as you do with Rowling or with terfs? how about your feelings towards the European and UN politicians, who allow the monthly deaths of thousands of immigrants drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel? Or towards Jair Bolsonaro, who impoverished Brazil, created more laws against the LGBT collective, empowered the military, and targeted indigenous tribes, plus allowing more deforestation in the Amazon Forest, the lung of the world? or towards Elon Musk, more interested in getting to the space even at the cost of our planet's health, than on helping anybody with his money? do you perhaps hate Vladimir Putin, responsible of the Ukrainian War that has so far caused thousands of civilian deaths, as much as you hate a terf? What about George Bush, responsible for the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War, where hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed?
If these men don't occupy half the space in your mind, half the hatred in your heart, than J. K. Rowling, a feminist, or a "terf", then perhaps you're not somebody who truly cares about democracy, human rights or global unfairness. Perhaps you don't care so much about people unjustly losing their lives. Perhaps you're simply, deeply misogynystic.

Spider-man: Across the Spiderverse Review- An Action-packed Thrill Ride of a Follow-up of the Successful First Film
Sony has had a rough time over the years with their Spider-man IP. The Sam Raimi films have been pretty good except for the third one, the Andrew Garfield editions weren’t met with many good reviews. So they ended up making a deal with Disney to bring Spider-man to the MCU. This deal bore a lot of fruit but they still wanted to do their speidercenric films under their own Sony banner. That’s…

Can nobody see nuance on this site? Yes, Neil Gaiman is a famous author who has, surprise surprise, just been accused of horrible and awful things. “Burn his books” “if you watch good omens you support genocide”. The world is not black and white. Let’s look at the facts:
Neil Gaiman is very rich, very famous, and a very cishet guy
Neil Gaiman is very vocal about his support of transgender people
Neil Gaiman fingered his son’s 22-year-old Nanny when he was 61, when they were in a legal sexual relationship
The journalist who broke the news is a transphobic radfem and the sister of Boris Johnson
The podcast discussing this story with the is very anti-BDSM (something very much present in the relationship between Neil and the first victim)
Texts and emails between Neil and Scarlet (one of the women) were expressions of mutual sexual desire/enjoyment
The two women said they were both in their twenties when the respective sexual relationships began, with Neil several decades their senior (61 with Scarlet and mid-forties with K)
The victims have accused Neil Gaiman of raping them via digital penetration and have shared very similar stories
You are not a horrible person for still liking Neil Gaiman media. Stop telling people to burn their copy of good omens. Stop telling people that reading the Sandman means they support genocide. Stop turning this into a chance to spread antizionism. Stop trying to get David and Michael to speak on this. You don’t know anything except what has been written. You do not have the moral high ground.
Take a deep breath and get off of tumblr.
Go touch grass.

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Trailer Teases A Web-Tangling Multiverse
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse introduced us to the thought that just because we know one person has worn the mask, doesn’t mean you can’t. Because, anyone can wear the mask. You can wear the mask. But to become Spider-Man, it means accepting certain responsibilities and sacrifices of being a webslinger. And as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse trailer teases, Miles Morales discovers that…

This was arisen by the simple fact that there is an elias in both universes, the rest will get figured out after i’ve established that lolol
Elias Bouchard? No! Elias Walker!
If I dare bring the magnus protocol into this:
Gwendolyn Bouchard? No!! I’m leaning towards Hesh because Alice takes the piss (slightly) out of ‘Gwendolyn’ and Hesh is a callsign/ nickname idk it fits in my head?
Alice Dyer? She’s a Logan girlie no doubt no doubt (they’re both trans in my head, maybe in opposite ways but..)
Colin the tech man? Kick. Enough said tbh
I haven’t payed attention to Lena or sam (sorry main character your not important to me /j) that much :( but.. Teddy, the guy who was leaving as TMAGP started? Ajax. Because Ajax died pretty early on :)
Back to TMA:
Now i’m going to place Keegan Russ as Martin and that is not because they’re both my favourites (mostly), Keegan is Martin because given a chance? Keegan ‘P’ Russ.. Martin ‘K’ Blackwood.. yeah. (Martin lies about having a middle name)
Ummmmm okay rambling over lmao
Ummm something something TMA x CoD: Ghosts

Buying Gay and Respectability Politics
I just read Buying Gay: How Physique Entrepreneurs Sparked a Movement The argument of the book is that physique magazines were as much a part of the early formation of gay identity and gay rights as homophile movements. One component of the book is how the two often were in conversation with each other either as allies or to set themselves apart from each other. The push and pull of respectability politics vs. open sexual desire has been a debate in the movement for a long time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The denigration of the sexual aspect of gay life in favor of acceptance is a repeating pattern throughout the book and we still see it today in discourse such as "no kink at pride" and other forms of respectability politics.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The entire book is worth a read, and really shows how little arguments against the queer community have changed in the last century (e.g., "save our children" and the censoring of the mail/internet, sexuality vs. widespread appeal to the hegemonic culture, etc.). I highly recommend reading this book.

Tumblr media
Good question, very fun. I'll invite all of the ones I like, and whichever ones I'd like to see in a party setting.
James Madison is chronologically the first that I would invite. I think it'd be funny to see him at a party. I think of "nearly gets trampled on the dance floor..." I, myself, will trample him unless he brings Dolley.
Jackson is invited and I hope he leaves cheese around the house in secret spots like he did at the end of his presidency.
Van Buren is invited unless @presidenttyler continues to insist that I have to marry him or he'll summon a deadly fog (please die, Mr. Tyler.)
I would invite William Henry Harrison, but tragically, as I'm sure we've all heard, he is no longer with us </3.
John Tyler is invited unless he tries to insist I marry Martin Van Buren lest a deadly fog be summoned. Also I swear to God he's not allowed to use my bathroom. I hope he and Jackson start fighting (no weapons allowed in my house) and I get to see their skinny bones fall out.
James K Polk is invited. I want him to bring his Lady Presidentress as well. Double invited if he is the presidentress.
Zachary Taylor is invited. His daughter can come too. His daughter's husband cannot come. His daughter's husband's dog, Bonin, can come. The murderer who shares a name with Zachary Taylor's daughter's husband's dog cannot come.
Millard Fillmore is invited. He can bring the whole boiler room with him. It wouldn't be a party without him.
Franklin Pierce is invited, of course. As an old @/deadpresidents posts that I can longer find clarifies, he would indeed be a welcome party guest, even if people on Reddit don't seem to think so (I have beef with 90% of reddit tier lists, save for any of them made by @starlight-tequila.) As I've come to understand, there're no less than 4 fictional interpretations of Pierce where he's being haunted. I request he keeps the haunting at home; I don't want the watchmojo demmons to mess up the vibe.
James Buchanan is invited. I want to see him in his worst outfit, behaving as he did at Dickinson before his expulsion. He needs to bring Harriet too. WRK too, unless I decide that he's also dead.
Andrew Johnson can come because I once saw an image of him smiling.
Ulysses Grant can come. He may play with the non dog animals (unfortunately, they're all just different Martin Van Buren government assigned rodentsonas in a pen.)
As can Hayes. Hayes can bring his wife, Lucy. She actually allowed drinking in the White House on special occasions, so she would not be a party pooper.
Garfield may come, but only as Lucretia's plus one. It's what he deserves. Since Guiteau did so much for Garfield's election (and was basically the president, let's be real, guys) he can come as an honorary president. So can David Rice Atchison, even though that story is complete bs. Dr. Doctor Bliss will be shot on sight by Boston Corbett.
Arthur is invited, but Julia Sand needs to pre-approve everything that he does. Conkling may come as a plus one, but he will go in the pen with the Martin Van Buren government assigned rodentsonas (it's okay, that's where Grant is anyway.)
On no other day would I ever allow Benjamin Harrison and his shortness within my sight, but I just found a song about him and it's stuck in my head, so I think it's only right that he attends 1 single time before my kind feelings toward him dry out.
McKinley is invited. He must sing to me.
Wilson is invited. But I will lock him in a room like a creature. You-know-who gets the key. The second female president, Edith Wilson, may attend.
Warren Harding gets to come. Gaston Means may, as well. Also Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. That's about it. If Nixon were to show up I wouldn't turn him away.
I'd like the party to end by sending an anonymous tip to Carrie A. Nation, telling her there is alcohol. She can come in, destroy everything, and all's well because if everything is destroyed, there's nothing to clean. She and Guiteau can ride into the sunset, combining to be a person of a normal height. I hope they invite me to the wedding.
