For the 120 followers celebration pt 2, @stardustandsixshooters request: Ranma punching JK Howling! Hehehe, that was satisfying.

Why are you, as a woman, staring at another woman's lips expectant to see lipstick endorsed by galactic superstar Ms. Lesbian Icon Robin???

jean fucking usher manages to take a single source from like 1939 on potlatch among the Tsimshian and wilfully reinterpret it so badly that i couldn't figure out if the endnotes had somehow gotten mixed up during printing.

usher confidently says this of potlatches: "As Garfield has emphasized, many potlatches 'were given for no other reason than to give the host an opportunity to display his wealth and insult his guests in speech and song.'" (39)

so now i go to look up Viola Garfield's book on the Tsimshian, which i'm thankful the university of washington has digitized and made public. first i couldn't even find that quotation, then i realized it's in a section that's (imo) pretty clearly describing a ceremonial use of 'insults' that came along with various challenges - you get roasted if you can't finish a huge amount of food, etc. garfield's discomfort is clear in her analysis, but imo it's actually better than usher's, especially considering the additional decades' worth of time and contact with Indigenous people that usher would have to build a better analysis.

garfield describes what she's seeing, usher just takes the most damning quotation and leaves it at that.

then she goes on to talk about how the practice of potlatch helped mold the minds of Northwest coast Indigenous people to be amenable to capitalism, in the most racist train of thought available.

source: William Duncan of Metlakatla by Jean Usher, and Tsimshian Class and Society by Viola Garfield (1939). the relevant section in Garfield is around page 208.

please note: if you don't want to see further discussion of this book, please block the tag 'jean usher metlakatla'.

my mother is currently on the phone with her friend that doesn’t like me and i’m cooking dinner (which i do every night) and had to ask her to grab something because my hands were dirty and this bitch from the other end of the phone really just said “you do everything in that house, see she can’t even cook dinner alone” excuse me ma’am i will yell at you and i promise you won’t win the argument

[firefighter-diazbuckley]

what if i dropped out right now

[scentedluminarysoul]

So uh

Chaya Raichik just randomly showed the reporter a picture of a blowjob? Why?

That's sexual harassment, also.

It's so transparent. These bigots just want you to be disgusted, and then use that disgust to hate certain minorities for it.

Personal disgust is no basis for laws and human rights, babes

They're manipulating their audience, and that audience willingly laps it up

This is the first time I've ever gotten Vivienne's disapproval scene where she rearranges your furniture and I'm sorry. How can anyone genuinely hate her for this. This is soooo petty and funny. She's hilarious. You make a political decision she doesn't like and she moves all your furniture like 3 inches to the left. I'm obsessed with her.

[aquarri]

you’re not quirky

I think depictions of Anya being cruel to Curly or drawing out his suffering are artful and chilling but completely miss the point of the story and her character.

I'm not saying she doesn't deserve to have that "I told you so" moment with him but not in something callous or cold. Even if that is how it happened, she'd immediately feel guilty cause at that point she's not tormenting her tormenter or even the person truly at fault. She's doing something cathartic, similar to how Jimmy likely hits Curly to release rage he can't against the rest of the crew. She'd see herself as no different when she'd come back from the moment and see Curly cowering at her. She wants someone to take responsibility but how does being cruel to the defenseless help? Why would she want the power Jimmy has over her over Curly?

The idea of her extending someone else's pain is just so against the struggles she already faces and how she can't even bring herself to cause someone pain even to help them. Her very desire is to release herself from her own suffering and I doubt she'd even fine some sort of guilty release in being cruel to another.

hate to put anything about JK Rowling on your dash but I saw this post and immediately thought about how much of Rowling’s future ideology was foreshadowed in Harry Potter looking back and how much the really shitty things both the “good” and “bad” characters do are all totally reflections of herself…

Like I was specifically thinking about how much Dumbledore’s insistence on calling Voldemort by his birth name bothered me more and more growing up…and now it’s like oh my god duh it was because Dumbledore was literally deadnaming him because using a person’s chosen name (and by extension, pronouns!!) is something that Rowling thinks should be a privilege you receive if someone respects you that can be instantly taken away if you are “bad” and not worthy of respect

Dumbledore refusing to call Voldemort by his chosen name and calling him “Tom” instead (and keep in mind how Voldemort willingly changed his body to a form he was more comfortable with) was literally just thinly-veiled transphobia wasn’t it and the only reason Voldemort isn’t explicitly trans is because Rowling wrote these books in the early 2000s and Voldemort probably IS a trans woman but the whole damn time she’s being misgendered by an unreliable narrator
