#Traitors To Their Countries

[msclaritea]

"The newest Marvel movie Deadpool & Wolverine is about to hit theaters — but before it does, its star Hugh Jackman has something to say about fellow Marvel actor Tom Holland.

In an interview with Marvel Thailand, Jackman and his co-star Ryan Reynolds dished on their new movie. When the interviewer asked them to “choose one more MCU hero to join your team,” Reynolds was first to chime in. I’d love to play with Spider-Man,” Reynolds said. “That would be cool. Tom Holland is amazing.”

“I agree. He’s so cool. That would be great,” Jackman replied. That’s when he revealed what he’d really like to get up to with the Spider-Man actor on set. “He’s young, and we could pile on him and abuse him and just yell at him,” Jackman said before laughing. Let’s run that last part back: “pile on him” and “abuse him”? Jackman may only be referring to some friendly rough-housing, especially given their age gap (he’s 55 years old, while Holland is just 28), but that didn’t stop the gay internet from pointing out the homoerotic undertones in his Tom Holland fantasy."

Fuck Hugh Jackman.

y'all please be watchful of accounts posting political memes, especially since the american elections are coming up. more and more blogs are looking like they're up to election interference in favour of the republicans and it's looking EXACTLY like the 2016 russian bot invasion. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. be mindful, fact check and question everything and VOTE BLUE.

Queer Fantasy Books Bracket: Round 2

Book summaries below:

The Masquerade Series (The Traitor Baru Cormorant, The Monster Baru Cormorant, The Tyrant Baru Cormorant) by Seth Dickinson

Tomorrow, on the beach, Baru Cormorant will look up from the sand of her home and see red sails on the horizon. The Empire of Masks is coming, armed with coin and ink, doctrine and compass, soap and lies. They'll conquer Baru’s island, rewrite her culture, criminalize her customs, and dispose of one of her fathers. But Baru is patient. She'll swallow her hate, prove her talent, and join the Masquerade. She will learn the secrets of empire. She’ll be exactly what they need. And she'll claw her way high enough up the rungs of power to set her people free. In a final test of her loyalty, the Masquerade will send Baru to bring order to distant Aurdwynn, a snakepit of rebels, informants, and seditious dukes. Aurdwynn kills everyone who tries to rule it. To survive, Baru will need to untangle this land’s intricate web of treachery - and conceal her attraction to the dangerously fascinating Duchess Tain Hu. But Baru is a savant in games of power, as ruthless in her tactics as she is fixated on her goals. In the calculus of her schemes, all ledgers must be balanced, and the price of liberation paid in full. Fantasy, epic fantasy, secondary world, politics, series

When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb

A queer immigrant fairytale about individual purpose, the fluid nature of identity, and the power of love to change and endure. Uriel the angel and Little Ash (short for Ashmedai) are the only two supernatural creatures in their shtetl (which is so tiny, it doesn't have a name other than Shtetl). The angel and the demon have been studying together for centuries, but pogroms and the search for a new life have drawn all the young people from their village to America. When one of those young emigrants goes missing, Uriel and Little Ash set off to find her. Along the way the angel and demon encounter humans in need of their help, including Rose Cohen, whose best friend (and the love of her life) has abandoned her to marry a man, and Malke Shulman, whose father died mysteriously on his way to America. But there are obstacles ahead of them as difficult as what they’ve left behind. Medical exams (and demons) at Ellis Island. Corrupt officials, cruel mob bosses, murderers, poverty. The streets are far from paved with gold. Fantasy, historical fiction, young adult, folklore

[thedreadvampy]

my favourite thing about American """democracy""" is you guys still literally spend two years going on about how it would be EVIL and UNACCEPTABLE to vote for anyone except the main party, and it becomes more and more fucking annoying, and then the minute the election is over you'll start again within days. ooh don't forget midterms are coming up so you can't criticise the government 😨 wait midterms are over so now it's basically the next election so you can't criticise the government 😨 if you make your vote conditional on anything, anything at all, at any time, you're allowing fascism 😨 oh our guys won the election but hey you can't criticise them it'll be midterms soon 😨😨😨

it's amazing how your fucking country is stuck in permanent election season and yet everyone is so frightened of using their vote to enact pressure in case it loses the Blue Team any election ever. and you're so wrapped up in this shit even though it literally does not matter how you vote because you don't live in a direct democracy. "ooh not holding your nose and voting for the blue cunt let Trump in" no the fuck it didn't because Trump lost the popular vote and won the election anyway because y'all have a system of Guys Who Can Override Popular Elections.

(via Trump Reportedly Said ‘No One Wants to See’ Wounded Vets)

At his welcome ceremony at Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall, across the Potomac River from the capital, Milley gained an early, and disturbing, insight into Trump’s attitude toward soldiers. Milley had chosen a severely wounded Army captain, Luis Avila, to sing “God Bless America.” Avila, who had completed five combat tours, had lost a leg in an IED attack in Afghanistan, and had suffered two heart attacks, two strokes, and brain damage as a result of his injuries. To Milley, and to four-star generals across the Army, Avila and his wife, Claudia, represented the heroism, sacrifice, and dignity of wounded soldiers.

It had rained that day, and the ground was soft; at one point Avila’s wheelchair threatened to topple over. Milley’s wife, Holly­anne, ran to help Avila, as did Vice President Mike Pence. After Avila’s performance, Trump walked over to congratulate him, but then said to Milley, within earshot of several witnesses, “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.” Never let Avila appear in public again, Trump told Milley. (Recently, Milley invited Avila to sing at his retirement ceremony.)

165 pages of evidence against Donald Trump

was unsealed Wednesday, October 2nd, relating to Jack Smith's prosecution of Donald Trump for his role in the Jan 6th and related attacks on the US constitution and elections.

[Trump's] efforts included lying to state officials in order to induce them to ignore true vote counts; manufacturing fraudulent electoral votes in the targeted states; attempting to enlist Vice President Michael R. Pence, in his role as President of the Senate, to obstruct Congress’s certification of the election by using the defendant’s fraudulent electoral votes; and when all else had failed, on January 6, 2021, directing an angry crowd of supporters to the United States Capitol to obstruct the congressional certification.

Page 3

Hundreds of pieces of evidence are included, many of them never publicly known before. Including this summary of witness testimony from a Trump campaign official:

Upon receiving a phone call alerting him that Pence had been taken to a secure location, [he] rushed to the dining room to inform the defendant [Trump] in hopes that the defendant would take action to ensure Pence's safety. Instead, after [he] delivered the news, the defendant looked at him and said only, "So what?"
