youtube shorts is just tiktok without being on the app the amount of "i'm a [qualification] and [misinformation]" could make one turn their skin inside-out in protest. "i'm a board-certified OB-GYN & it's only been about the last hundred years that women have actually experienced menopause. We didn't live long enough to experience it" how can you be so incredibly wrong about something so integral to your practice. King of the Hittites Hattusilis III was told in 1250 BCE that his sister was too old to reproduce at age 50+. Aristotle wrote in the 4th century BCE that women stopped menstruating between ages 40 to 50, common menopause ages today still. i cannot begin to tell you how 4th century & 1250 BCE don't really count as "the last hundred years" unless that -s is doing a lot of heavy lifting. waiter waiter more misinformation laws.

There really is no female Jeremy Allen White. He is an objectively weird looking man who is now considered a heartthrob and is playing Springsteen in a new biopic--that's a romantic hero role if ever there was one. I'm not saying that's bad or wrong but I am saying no woman who naturally looks as wonky as he does would have success like him. Like he is actually UGLIER than young Bruce was.

They UGLIFIED Bruce Springsteen by casting him.

Meanwhile, women in human reality like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Gilda Radner, who HAD strong, distinct features like his, are being played by these people in fictionalized versions of their lives:

The fact that this is how history is choosing to remember these women is insane and bizarre. Truly, you cannot exist as a woman in public eye or public memory unless you are ornamental. Worse than ornamental, you must be generically ornamental, made on an assembly line, as female beauty often is now via plastic surgery.

I feel that this kind of commentary is not being made because it's politically suspect to talk about women's looks--and don't get me wrong, I understand what's at stake in terms of not just human emotion, but falling into misogynist traps. But we MUST recognize that this is a problem. It's one thing for fictional women with no basis in reality to be cookie cutter--not a good thing, but certainly a different thing. But for real women who actually existed to have their simple, natural, human characteristics erased and replaced with flavor of the month plastic surgeried generic Hollywood Female nonsense is disrespectful in the extreme. (Especially because Gilda Radner and RBG were Jewish and their Jewish features would have deeply impacted their lives.)

I had a very odd dream where a train (or bus?) I was on got yanked into another world. While my dream had nothing to do with SVSSS, it did have my waking self thinking about how hilarious and/or horrifying such a thing could be as an AU.

Imagine Shen Yuan riding the subway, train or bus one day, when something happens and his whole car gets yanked into the world of PIDW. Nobody else in the car knows anything about PIDW, so Shen Yuan finds himself with the self imposed task of keeping this eccentric group of strangers alive in a weird world full of demons, monsters, and aphrodisiac plants.

The group’s first assumption would probably be that they’re still on modern earth, and just got teleported somewhere. Their second assumption, if they come across common folk, might be they somehow ended up in the past.

Then they run into some monster, or people riding on swords with specific uniforms, or a commoner mentions a name or event only Shen Yuan recognizes. The rest of the party debates what sort of Xianxia or Wuxia world they’ve ended up in, while poor Shen Yuan sweats bullets. He knows exactly what world they are in, and they are so screwed.

I have this image of poor beleaguered nerd Shen Yuan successfully protecting and leading this group of primary school kids, their cute teacher, and a handful of grannies and grandpas, while all the other adults and older teens keep wandering off and getting themselves in trouble.

I asked Rakiah this too but it’s so funny to me I have to share.

Vil posing for a magazine in a beekeeper suit💀 it sounds so funny to me. He’s trying to make it work or he can pull it off flawlessly. Vil just wearing something baggy with that net around his head has me in tears😭

Not exactly what you asked, but this reminds me too much of Marilyn Monroe's potato sack affair.

There are several versions of the story, but for those who don't know about it: a journalist trash talked Marilyn Monroe (the most beautiful woman of the time) for being cheap and vulgar, and that she'd be better off wearing a potato sack for a dress. Which she did.

Another version of the story is that her publicists wanted to market her as "so beautiful she could even make a potato sack look good". Which... well, she did.

So yeah, have Fem!Vil wearing a potato sack.

Comparison of what Anne Boleyn wore at her execution to how it's depicted in art over the centuries.

Description is from John Guy & Julia Fox's Hunting the Falcon: Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, and the Marriage That Shook Europe, 2023. The art is from an anonymous German artist (1695), Jan Luyken (1699), Pierre-Nolasque Bergeret (1800-25), Édouard Cibot (1835), and Gustav Wapper (1838), respectively.

Power of the press!

Iris West and Lois Lane prepare to interrogate interview Lex Luthor.

I went entirely too hard on this for a lil three panel gag but it’s all good because Iris and Lois look good and that’s all that matters.

...that and making Lex sweat.

Armed Women in Medieval Art

Note: The Following are some pictures I've scavenge online. They may not necessarily be realistic, but then again, its proof that artists never cared about "realism"

BTW, fun fact: from what I've researched, Medieval Noblewomen did participate in hunting trips.

And when they did, the most popular hunting tools for women are spears and clubs.

sometimes supernatural homophobia is so absurd it becomes funny like they literally called dean gay for basically having a wife and a kid???? like is it gay to live in the suburbs with your girlfriend and her son????

As someone who has studied the history of Early Modern European witchcraft at university it is funny how many terfs spread theories as indisputable fact that are unaccepted within mainstream historical scholarship.

Yes men could be witches. No it was not a conspiracy against midwives. Yes it was rooted in misogyny and the societal disempowerment of women. No this was not the only relevant factor. Religion, class and social dynamics were also super important. Not to mention the blatant anti semitism.

The European witch hunts are such a fascinating and disturbing historical phenomenon, and I hate how it has been over simplified to support a radfem narrative.
