the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"
just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order#at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers#90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent#like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries#but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate#and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something#cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare#and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity#and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media#and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons#and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators#instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period#anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives#so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world#(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin#oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value#and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the#important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

"Good" Acting
i have a theory that a lot of people say acting is "good" when they're emotionally moved by it, and a lot of cishet white people have a lifelong habit of not listening or empathising when minoritised people speak, so minority actors get called "bad" even when they display some pretty fucking amazing technical skill
#also a lot of female actors don't get recognised despite being fucking GOOD#that's not to say minority actors can't always be bad#of course we can#I'm just saying#sometimes#for SOME shows in particular#ahem ahem#some actors might get very heavily criticised for reasons that have very little to do with their actual technical skill#and more to do with the politics of those criticising them#also I'm not talking about me here#before anyone says that#I'm talking about some actors I know who have recently been criticised in my opinion quite unfairly#despite doing something very difficult#like oooohhh i dunno#playing two roles in the same show?#and doing it very well#displaying some amazing technical mastery of body and voice technique#but hey what do I know#oh wait I went to drama school and I'm a professional actor lol I DO know#I'm just a woman so I have to couch my expertise in cutesy self-deprecation lest people think I'm a bitch

If you can't help me with donations, reblogs are always appreciated!
Also I have hella bad waiting mode anxiety that is made better by knowing what to expect after what I'm waiting for happens, so if anybody wants to tell me how this process will go, I would greatly appreciate it.
Bonus points if you give me some ideas in the notes of mundane things to do with my wife!
#byrd chirps#the gryphon#byrd's business#here's our ideas for things to do together so far:#going to temple newsham to see flowers#going to the park for walks#taking a river taxi / boat#going to the garden center for gardening supplies#going shopping together#going out to restaurants together#going to the city center to see the shops/market#going to the gluten free bakery#building a nest with the couch cushions#watching tv#playing games together#doing separate things in the same room#going to the gym together#riding the bus together#get tattoos#get haircuts#help each other with hrt#take naps together#cook#clean#do laundry together#go to a cafe in the evening#watch the sunset#watch the sunrise#Go to Affleck's Palace in Manchester#Set up a sewing station

I truly absolutely ADORE how in Fugitive Telemetry Ratthi and Gurathin are just like- Murderbot’s bestie sidekicks who are so ready and willing to back it up and help kick ass and investigate a murder and worry all over Murderbot and then just like— go chill and grab lunch while Murderbot is Dealing With Things and also maybe possibly getting into some harrowing trouble and that moment where Murderbot calls them and is like HELP ME and Ratthi is so started he knocks his fucking chair over and Gurathin spills his drink and they help and then Murderbot is just like can’t talk now bye and then fucks off without explaining anything or if it’s okay like- I love them soooooo baddddddd plsssss
#cross talks#fucking love this series so goddamn MUCH#murderbot#Murderbot diaries#FOUND FAMILY FOR LIFE#I love murderbots narrative man like THNK U#doesnt explain the things he doesn’t want to#doesn’t delve into what it seems unnecessary#I love its brutal honesty#and I’m just imagining Ratthi and Gurathin later like R U OK ???????#and then they all sit together in the same room and hang out peripherally#bc of course Murderbot is laying on the couch watching the rise and fall or sanctuary moon

As a treat.#On the bright side for her mom Toph does pottery too!#She bonds with Zuko over art and their absolute disdain for all things high society#The Gaang go to every single game of hers to cheer for her. The bring signs even tho it's “literally a sport for blind people Twinkletoes”#In short: she's a badass in every single universe and I love her#Hashtag goals#Also yes I drew shows in the bottom pic#There's rules and my girl may be an absolute bamf but she knows when to play by them#She still trains shoeless because of course she does

“Knowing what he knows now, Timmy would never recommend it either.” What does he know?
Lots and Lots and Lots!
Consequence #2: Information Overflow.
Fairies perceives everything differently, from literal perception to mental understanding! A person have to handle the information flow during their transformation. It can be very loud, very sudden, and very bright.
Fairies stopped kidnapping adults after discovering that they easily succumb to madness at this step. Children, meanwhile, can withstand it due to their wild imaginations! Although the risks of madness is still very high.
Timmy Turner had great mental fortitude beforehand, so this didn't bother him at all. If anything, he was absolutely fascinated with his new sight. Tooth Fairy helped him get through the more confusing parts, such as re-focusing his eyes to view in the fourth dimension instead of the seventh.
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]
#fairly oddparents#fop#fop a new wish#fop timmy turner#fop timmy#fop tooth fairy#timmy turner#asks#the reason tooth and timmy are at the same size is because timmy's in between the stages in this drawing#long and short of it is: fairies have knowledge thats a lot like cthulu#its incomprehensible for the most part.#but considering that children constantly undergo incomprenesible shit every single day. its not that big a deal for them#one moment ur asleep on the couch. next u wake up at some strangers house (grandma's).#one point youve got food on your plate and the next theres big noise and people screaming at you (birthday party)#its very wild and sudden and they take it all in stride#itty bitties fop au

Tim celebrating Lucy's efforts over her parents refusing to celebrate her achievements
#jesuis-assez edits: chenford#jesuis-assez edits: chenford multi#Tim's face being that of 'Disappointed in you? No. I could never be that to you. I am in awe of you. '#What's amazing about Tim celebrating her efforts is that each of those moments takes place in her apartment#That same apartment Lucy felt like a disappointment to her parents in#on what should've been a night of celebration for her.#Even more so is that shot of Lucy crying on the counter where she will one day unravel Tim's gift to her#And the couch that she will receive her trophy for her efforts in the detective exam.#Lucy's entire apartment is a collection of memories.

so like, fun fact i found out about voting recently (it's never come up for me because i live in a vote-by-mail state)
you can bring help into the voting booth with you! i have never seen it mentioned before, but if you're too disabled to vote on your own, if you're blind, or if you can't speak or read english very well, you can bring someone you trust into the booth with you. as long as it's not your employer or union rep, and as long as they sign a thing saying they will not influence your vote (this bit varies by state i think, but i assume most at least have you swear an oath or something), they can help you however you need. they can even fill out the ballot on your behalf.
people don't talk enough about how hard it is to vote while disabled, but there ARE in fact protections in place for us. you just have to find them out yourself, because they sure as shit aren't going to tell you about them.
#united states election#us politics#i learned this cause i help my mom who is going blind with her ballot#and i was wondering how it would work if we couldnt vote by mail#turns out: about the same. just a lot more annoying cause it'd be in a voting booth instead of on our couch
