can you imagine how hard my jaw was on the floor when i was rewatching quantum leap and sam frantically said "that's why i'm here al i'm here to stop the LA Riots!" and al snapped back IMMEDIATELY with "YOU CAN'T STOP THE LA RIOTS, THIS HAS BEEN BREWING SINCE THE FIRST INJUSTICES AGAINST KIDNAPPED AFRICANS, SINCE SLAVERY, SINCE JIM CROW BEAT DOWN EVERY BLACK AMERICAN, THE RIOTS MUST HAPPEN AS A CRY FOR JUSTICE" (paraphrased from memory)

like DUDE? early 90s???

they aired a don't ask don't tell episode in '95 FULL WELL KNOWING they'd lose $100,000 and pulled off the air for good. Like they still held out that they'd make more QL, but they didn't regret doing a full GAYS IN THE MILITARY episode at a time where that just DID not happen. Matthew Shepard was still alive for chrissakes.

fucking. quantum leap, man.

i remember seeing the ancient egyptian race debate and a comment that pointed out that usamericans try to impose our idea of black and white onto places where that idea did not exist at all and it made it so simple to understand

it’s not even abt black n white n ppl from all over the globe absolutely do it too it’s the insistence of using modern labels to describe ancient ppl/phenomenons that like. calling an ancient egyptian figure black or nonblack is abt as irrelevant as calling them gay or straight as in those perceptions of race or sexuality didn’t exist and therefore those specific identities weren’t formed or thought of as they are today. although there is a black history n african history that predates the black or african identity the same way that there is lgbt history that predates every identity in the acronym. but it’s kinda like. ig. calling ancient gaulish ppl french? or ancient britons english. or ancient judeans palestinian for that matter like. no? not really? gaul is part of the history of france but gaulish ppl weren’t… french? that national identity didn’t exist yet. that name wasn’t theirs yet. do u get what I’m saying.

The saddest thing is the witcher could have portrayed healthy found familial relationship in a non-traditional way, but they went and forced yennefer into the role of mother, geralt into the role of father, completely did away with jaskier, and didn't even bother to consider that every single witcher in Kaer Morhen could be considered ciris father, but no, there's a husband and a wife and a child and that's all there is to it

Does it piss anyone else off that barely anyone holds garmadon accountable for his actions and then they give people crap for being upset with him after he's hurt them

It's difficult to describe growing up my entire life thinking my copy of All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 was in fact simply All Dogs Go To Heaven.

The last thing I remember from this property was watching An All Dogs Christmas Carol.

I have located the first movie, which I have never seen.

THE TONE SHIFT. IS. RATHER JARRING, FOLKS.

Imagine if you always thought that The Secret of Nimh 2 was the actual movie The Secret of Nimh... and then one day you saw the original.

so there's a trans woman who goes to the centre and everyone calls her by her birthname which she is like... fine with but only because she has no choice but to be fine about it. anyways I've known her for a while through a trans group before the centre so I asked her today if she'd rather I call her by her birthname or her chosen name and she said she prefers her chosen name but I can call her by her birthname if I want and oh my god I was about to cry for her bc god I really feel that whole situation fjdkdl, I just told her "no I WANT to call you by the name you prefer, that's why I'm asking, I want to make sure it's safe for you if I call you [preferred name]" and she seemed so grateful and I'm just :') eeurrgghh i hate how we have to be grateful with crumbs !!!

its just absolutely wild to me that she's presenting femininely and wears skirts and dresses and everything and uses her preferred name when she writes her name down on stuff and yet everyone at the centre calls her by her birthname and he/him pronouns. like. how are people so fucking rude and oblivious ??? she's even worn a she/her pronoun pin to the centre like.... people are so fucking stupid about trans people I stg.

idk I'm just hoping to make her feel a bit more comfortable and maybe if I start calling her by the right name and pronouns then everyone else will too eventually because I know she doesnt feel safe correcting people. I'm not going to make a big thing of it obviously bc I don't want to put her in danger but I will be using the correct name and pronouns now that I've double-checked with her about it, and if I start feeling like it's making things worse for her then I'll check in with her again at that point. I've honestly been stumbling trying to use he/him for her when I mention her to other ppl because she is just... she/her in my brain. it's what I know she wants to use so it feel fucking awful to use anything else !!!

Oh sure Jesus metaphor this and Jesus metaphor that but no one tells you how hard it is to de-Jesus a character. This is what I fucking get for making the space dragons catholic.

This one family I used to babysit for confused the absolute hell out of me as a teen, but honestly, putting together in my late 20s that they were most likely Messianics made SO MUCH about them suddenly make SO MUCH sense.

Okay but it would be cool if that war Fukuchi received warning about actually happened. Like he received a warning and was scheming this whole mess of a situation to stop it but what if that exact plan of his is precisely what leads to the conflict? What if the warning was sent as a desperate hope that something would change, that he'd make a better plan... but no. It was always going to happen. There was no escape. Ever.

its so weird to read some of my old fics (do NOT do it but i'm just being hypothetical rn) and reading it. like who even was this person?? i completely was in a haze back in 2020. i literally was posting 3 chapters a day. A DAY. what in the WORLD was that shit.

anyway i remembered some STUPID sappy shit and i didnt remember if i'd put it into a fic or not BUT I FOUND IT.

She and Hope had been dating in secret for months anyway, and any attempt to go talk to Ryan only filed her disposition of displeasure upon knowing that she couldn’t tell anyone, Molly especially, it destroyed herself mentally. They couldn’t really go anywhere near the school, always having to lie to everyone about having projects together when Molly wasn’t around them. It’d consisted with 9 PM - 2 AM intervals of being able to actually see each other. Hope would sneak through her small bedroom window with a portable record player and whatever she had gotten from the vintage record store downtown, and Amy would always fall asleep around eleven because of her internal clock. She would always wake up to find a single sticky note stuck on the edge of her desk whenever she woke up to her alarm the next morning. One of them, Amy still had tucked inside of her phone case, a heavily detailed human heart, with blue and red ink sketched onto a neon pink sticky note, there was a caption that headed the small paper reading the phrase over every now and again makes her almost melt every time. “You have my heart.”

yeah idk why the fuck but i thought of this fucking idea again today and i was like "omg did i ever put that heart note thing in a fic???" yeah you fucking did.

all that to say ME AND WHO???? imagine. thats so fucking.... RAHHHH.
