Thoughts on political labels

I am currently reading Espionnes (Spies) by Marie Laure Buisson. It is, I think, the best book I have read this year. After reading some stories of these female spies, from North Korea (Kim Huyn-Hee), to the USSR (Sonya Burton) and Israel (Sylvia Rafael), I come to the conclusion that a political label sometimes (not all the time) defines well more who we want to rally to our cause than the ideas in themselves. The first story is about Sonya, Stalin's closest spy, a German Jew who was threatened by Hitler and a devout communist. Stalin was able to have this spy on her side because she was a convinced communist. He was the author of one of the greatest human massacres. We could say that his ideology is not communist and yet, under this political label, he organized the massacres. Sonya, her spy, admitted that she was disappointed that the communism in which she believed so strongly is full of vices. She didn't think that Stalin could be this monster because he was a communist. Stalin needed spies that were not going to turn their back on him... And what is better than the communist label to rally the spies who could be killed by Hitler for being jews?

HOT, SINGLE, UNSTUDIED SPONGES. 3000 NAUTICAL MILES AWAY. Come sail the distance and read Tiger Tiger!

#tiger tiger #ludovica bonnaire #remy bonnaire #jamis arlesi #This comic has been on my radar for *years* and I only recently - finally - sat down to read it. And by god is it amazing.#I don't want to spoil anything! But if you like amazing art and character writing *and* high seas adventure? READ TIGER TIGER.#If you asked my who my favourite character is I could not tell you. I truly like them all!!!#I even like the sleezeball who has less charm than a dead rat. He's *my* darling little rat man. With every disease.#A special shout out to my lad (he is the lad of all time) Jamis Arlesi.#Who - upon walking into frame makes me go 'Sir! Is your bosom too heavy? Do you need a new bra? My hands are free on Thursdays!'#And Ludo! My lass! I love her dearly! Every page made me more fond of her.#Book smart and uses it in very good ways! Naive enough to think it is all she needs! Learns a lot and stays kind through the horrors!#I could go on and on but...you...the person reading this...you *are* going to read it - aren't you?#So I'd hate to spoil you any more! Go read Tiger Tiger! Do it! For the sea sponges!#Rumour has it they are also freshly divorced. It was messy. Sea sponge needs a distraction. That could be you. Distracting that sponge.#You wont know until you click that link and start reading!

I don't care how excited it might make some people, I don't like this remake

#no heart. no effort. no soul. it looks animated everytime cinematic scenes of Berk or the dragons shoe up what was the poiiint #httyd 2025 #aweful set and costumes. barely any cool details. dry emotions. no man i hate it #httyd live action #httyd #how to train your dragon #the only good thing this is bringing that it's giving me a chance to wipe the memory of thw from my mind #lf btw. look at the fur detailson gobber's vest and also the lighting #in these screencaps #try and compare this to whatever the hell they're doing with the remake. is any of it present? no #it looks vooler and better in the animated medium #amd it would've looked good in live action if it wasn't a remake and had good artwork done with some heart to it #like. i can actually imagine a live action httyd looking amazing but not as a remake but as a book adaptation #with changed perspectives and story and cinematography #hey can't replicate the masterpiece #and you know what pisses me off even more?#They based Toothless on his THW model. not even the first movie's model #his movements are all so... wrong

The back of Discworld novels: wowee terry's whipped another wacky and wild adventure for us this time! there's so many silly shenanigans and witty wordplay in this book that you're sure to have a hilarious time!

Discword novels: a cynical alcoholic navigating and overcoming the pointlessness of his job, a transparent metaphor for racism and gun violence in the police system and in general, an intelligent young girl overcoming the ideas she's been taught by her culture and the media she consumes, just an entire novel made of commentary on war and gender, using talking animals as a way to explore what defines personhood and contrasting stories vs reality, an ex-convict coming to terms with the damage he's caused and fighting monopolies that are trying to do the same thing,

#and then the ex-convict's name is Moist von Lipwig #yes i made them sound more serious than they are but the book descriptions always do the opposite so it balances out #the books i'm talking about in order: guards guards; men at arms; the wee free men; monstrous regiment; the amazing maurice; going postal #discworld #gnu terry pratchett #sam vimes #moist von lipwig #tiffany aching #monstrous regiment

RIP Annabeth, I just know Percy sacrificing himself for you, after knowing you for a week, after telling you that you’ve done more for him this week than his father ever has, is permanently altering the brain chemistry of your avoidant attachment self
