Book Review – ‘The Raven King’ (#4 The Raven Cycle) by Maggie Stiefvater

Find out if the gang uncover the sleeping King, or if all the treasure hunters knock them off one by one… Genre: YA, Urban Fantasy No. of pages: 439 All her life, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love’s death. She doesn’t believe in true love and never thought this would be a problem, but as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s…

wait, no nut november is fash? i thought it was likea kinky edging thing

It’s one of those “haha it’s just ironic shitposting… unless” sort of things that the far-right often uses, but this one is specifically centered on why men need to preserve their manly vitality and pornography is evil

Yet it would be naive to ignore that there’s significant overlap between the general ideology behind NoFap — and, to a degree, No Nut November — and that of the far right, which has increasingly coopted the principles of masturbation abstinence. Because the challenge is associated with abstaining from porn, some people associated with the movement have taken the extra step of harassing adult performers on social media, giving it an additional layer of troubling implications. “In the past [No Nut November] has always been like, ‘Oh, look at this ridiculous thing some people are participating in,'” says adult performer and director Casey Calvert. “This year, people [in the industry] are talking about, ‘Oh, actually this is connected to the far right and maybe we shouldn’t just be saying hahaha, No Nut November.'”

A new meme brings these implications into sharp relief. Coomer is a reference to a meme of an unkempt, skeezy-looking bearded man in a white tank top with vaguely Semitic features, accompanied by descriptive text like “doesn’t even know anything about politics,” “extremely aesthetic right arm (huge muscle),” and “has never heard of NoFap.”

It’s been circulating on 4chan for the past year, but Alex Hawkins, the vice president of the porn tube site xHamster, says he started seeing it in the replies on his company’s Twitter feed back in September, when presidential candidate Andrew Yang tweeted about limiting access to pornography. At first, “we didn’t really know what it meant and thought it was funny,” he tells Rolling Stone. Then, in late October, the coomer resurfaced thanks to a Twitter campaign led by a user named TeapotLad, in which users vowed to change their avatars to the coomer should they fail No Nut November. PewDiePie shouted out the campaign in a recent YouTube video, as did far-right YouTuber Paul Joseph Watson, who is perhaps best known for being one of the many extremist figures, including Milo Yiannopolous and Alex Jones, to be banned from Facebook. “No Nut November and the Coomer meme represent a deeper meaning,” he said in a tweet. “Porn is evil. It literally re-wires your brain and causes erectile dysfunction. Take the pledge. Don’t be a Coomer.”

The term has also been used in the context of “OK coomer,” a play on the “OK boomer” meme, in response to tweets critical of No Nut November or masturbation abstinence in general. “It’s positioned as this epic battle between the weak beta masturbators and the strong, alpha NoFappers,” says Hawkins.

Like most memes, “coomer” carries with it more than a tinge of irony, and it’s not always easy to determine whether it’s being used flippantly or to actually deride men who masturbate. But the implication is clear: masturbating is an urge that should be resisted at all costs. David Ley, PhD, a clinical psychologist and sex therapist who studies pornography and mental health, saw the meme after he tweeted his criticism of No Nut November, referring to it as “a creepy little smorgasbord of insecurity-driven hate with anti-Semitism, misogyny, and homophobia all rolled up in one,” he tells Rolling Stone.

The turtle's designs for my TMNT 2012 separated au called Related by Blood Family by Choice. The bases of the turtles are traced from the references for the Turtles Take Time (and Space) short found on the tmntpedia .

*All turtles + Splinter can turn from Human to Mutant*

Michael(angelo) Yoshi O'Neil:

Was raised by April's Aunt and Uncle in North Hampton.

Was taught ninjutsu by April's Aunt who was Tang Shen's Sister, Lei.

His wraps are meant to resemble tree bark as he grew up in the woods.

Moves back to New York a few weeks before his 15th mutation day.

Has electric based powers. Also has scars from when he first used his powers.

Thinks the others are dead or being held captive by the Kraang.

Leonardo Yuuta Splinterson (Hamato)

Was raised by Splinter alongside Raph and Donnie.

Chose the name "Splinterson" so the boys could go to school without giving away their true heritage.

His arm and leg sleeves where gifts from Splinter while his watch was a gift from April.

Made his shoes himself in shop class.

Suggested that the boys wear the masks in Turtle form as kids and it became their special thing.

Doesn't know Mikey exists, but still feels like he's missing something. He thinks the thing he's missing is a big accomplishment.

Raphael Lee Splinterson (Hamato)

Feels more comfortable in his mutant form than human form.

His bandages and scars are from boxing and generally fighting bullies at school.

His gloves were a gift from April and his shoes a gift from Splinter.

Best friends with Casey. Casey doesn't know about their true forms.

Keeps bandages in the little pouch on his right leg.

He thinks the thing he's missing is a community with other mutants.

Donatello August Splinterson (Hamato)

Is nearsighted. Wears glasses in human form but uses the googles in Turtle form.

Hands are covered in soot from working on inventions without proper protective equipment.

Was the one who really wanted to go to school.

Spaceship pin was a gift from April while the shoes and sleeves were from Splinter.

His brothers force him to wear the pads as they are very overprotective.

Still has a crush on April but values their friendship more than anything. April knows about their true forms.

He thinks the thing he's missing is a purpose.

Please send me asks if you want to know more!

just finished reading abby x bookworm! reader and it just so sweet. had me giggling and kicking my feet

do you have any sapphic book recommendations or just book recommendations in general?

im so glad you liked it!!

n oh my god this is the moment I've been waiting for, i love giving book recs. obvs the two big sapphic recs are the two I mention across the two abby fics, Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo and One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. The first is about a Chinese-American teenager named Lily figuring out her sexuality in 1950s San Francisco, I read it last year and absolutely loved it, honestly I want to reread it for an honors thesis. The other is one of my favorite books, about a girl named August who moves to New York n finds a mysterious girl named Jane on her commute. Huge found family elements, bi x lesbian relationship, there are some things that August said pertaining to racism that are dumb, but overall I really like the book.

For a sci-fi rec, I really love Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. It's pitched as lesbian necromancers exploring a decrepit castle in space, which is absolutely perfect. I haven't continued with the series yet bc I'm not buying extra books this year (rip) but I really fucking love this book n want to reread it n I think every Abby n Ellie lover would love Gideon Nav <3

I also really like the Girls of Paper and Fire series by Natasha Ngan, although I haven't read the third book yet. It follows Lei as she is basically forced to become a consort, a 'paper girl' to the demon king, alongside eight other girls. I would check the trigger warnings for this one, but I'm enjoying it so far.

Oh and my ultimate favorite sapphic duology is We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia. I haven't read it in like a year or two but I remember I fucking loved it, n it was one of the few sapphic latine books I had found. It follows two girls who marry the same, very powerful man (as it goes in the world of the book), n they have a sort of rivalry as his wives. You can guess where that goes but it also has some insane revolutionary stuff going on that I love.

Honestly, I feel like I haven't read enough sapphic books, but some that I really want to read n will likely buy at the end of the year are The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri, The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, and Legend and Lattes by Travis Baldree. I would love more sapphic recs though!!

_ALMA_._MENTE_._CORAÇÃO_

Quando você se depara que o universo te escuta e te mostra a capacidade de você cocriar e entender que existem leis universais e uma delas é a lei da atração e do amor. Te olho e te vejo em um reflexo meu e ao mesmo tempo uma parte minha do qual eu reconheço e amo tanto quanto amo compartilhar a vida ao seu lado.

*PEIXE DO MEU AQUÁRIO*

*_AQUÁRIO DO MEU PEIXE_*

*Ps: a imagem tremida significa que somos forças da natureza em um só propósito. Um deles é caminhar lado a lado com toda intensidade do mar e suas ondas. Com toda força do vento de oyá com toda intensidade e amor de mamãe Yemanjá. Os tons da foto simboliza a força e a cor de oxum que se harmoniza cor dos nossos olhos. Eu te amo com a harmonia de Oxumarê.

Sentir que a chuva lava a alma.mente.coração nunca fez tanto sen(ti)do.

Sem (ti) meus dias foram cinzas e nem falo de forma negativa, mas que pra ser compreendido em um mundo onde só se enxerga superficialidade e se esquecem de valorizar o que preço nenhum pagaria. Há coisas que tem preço, compartilhar a vida com você é agregar valores.

E olha que ironia do "destino" eu com alma de poeta casei com um.🎯😍💗

E se for falar de poesia e arte eu sempre citarei teu nome @tabuh

Gratidão por tua existência, meu mensagem do vento e/ou de netuno.✨🤍☄️

Nell'aprile scorso, la giornalista inglese Elle Hunt (...) decise di riportare su Twitter (...) una questione emersa durante una conversazione spensierata e propose un sondaggio: se il film Alien potesse essere considerato un horror. Rispondendo a un utente, espose la sua concisa posizione  – «no, perché un horror non può essere ambientato nello Spazio» – e, dopo aver letto alcune obiezioni, mise da parte lo smartphone.

Il giorno dopo, Hunt (...) scoprì che il sondaggio aveva ricevuto 120 mila voti e che la sua opinione era stata citata da migliaia di persone, tra cui il regista Kevin Smith, che se la prendevano con lei (...). Molti le chiedevano di scusarsi (...). Quel sondaggio era finito tra gli argomenti “di tendenza” negli Stati Uniti e nel Regno Unito.

(...) Negli ultimi anni, alcune riflessioni intorno ai social media hanno descritto (eventi come questo) – tipica di molte piattaforme social – come “collasso del contesto”, l’effetto prodotto dalla coesistenza di molteplici gruppi sociali in unico spazio. «Prendere pubblici diversi, con norme, principi e livelli di conoscenza diversi, e radunarli tutti in un unico spazio digitale per farli coesistere porta prevedibilmente a conflitti regolari e potrebbe, su scala nazionale, persino renderci più radicalizzati», ha scritto recentemente su The Verge il giornalista Casey Newton (...).

Il risultato (...) è che un individuo con un seguito moderatamente ampio, a prescindere dal contenuto delle sue affermazioni, venga frainteso da «persone apparentemente determinate a fraintenderlo». (...)

«I giorni in cui potrai dare un’immagine di te differente agli amici, ai colleghi di lavoro e alle altre persone che conosci finiranno probabilmente in breve tempo», disse il CEO e fondatore di Facebook Mark Zuckerberg nel 2010, descrivendo come una «mancanza di integrità» la scelta di avere più identità. (...)

Quanto capitato a Hunt è certamente non grave, se confrontato con casi di offese e molestie espresse sui social network e in grado di rovinare la vita delle persone. Ma è proprio il fatto che sia un caso abbastanza familiare e non eccezionale, a renderlo particolarmente significativo: «un perfetto esempio delle dinamiche dei nostri social media rotti, che sembrano sempre più progettati per disumanizzarci, polarizzarci e renderci tutti infelici».

(...) Sotto questo aspetto (resta da capire se) le frequenti espressioni di intransigenza e intolleranza presenti su Twitter siano da inquadrare come una manifestazione della cosiddetta cancel culture o come un esempio di «fallimento della piattaforma».

via https://www.ilpost.it/2021/09/18/collasso-contesto-social-network/

Esempio interessante (btw, anche del verginellismo nel pubblicare una opinione very silly, e del non attendersi i dovuti buuh, anche se davvero troppi nel suo caso).

I soloni del Post ovviamente non concludono col buon senso di dire: LA GENTE STA MALE. Preferiscono aziendalmente dar la colpa "al sistema" (tuitter) che non possono più "moderare" e alla gente "de destra" che "offende" (i Portatori di Verità).

Io invece affermo che il collasso del contesto è tipico di chi abbia già collassato il contesto accettando di credere a narrative sinistre. VEDI CANCEL CULTURE. Affermo cioè che i media sono di sinistra perché han bisogno di un pubblico di sinistra, altrimenti NON diventerebbero pervasivi e sostitutivi della vita nel mondo reale. Unicuique suum.

Saremo noi: Giorno 19

Oggi il mio cervello era in modalità distrazione e ci ho messo parecchio a concentrarmi su quello che stavo facendo e a entrare nel flusso della scrittura ma, soprattutto sul finire della sessione, la scena a cui stavo lavorando mi ha preso molto, almeno finché non è suonata la sveglia che ogni giorno mi avvisa di andare a prendere mio figlio all'asilo. Sad, ma almeno avrò più voglia di mettermi a scrivere domani per riprendere da dove ho lasciato.

Quante parole ho scritto: 912 // 21567 (totale)

Quando ho scritto: dalle 10:30 alle 12:30.

Che musica ho ascoltato: Oltre alla playlist del romanzo ho ascoltato tutto quello che sono riuscitɘ a trovare su Spotify di SOFIA ISELLA, perché sì, I'm obsessed.

Osservazioni: La scena che ho iniziato oggi la aspettavo da un po'. Uno dei riferimenti che sto tenendo a mente per Saremo noi sono i romanzi di Casey McQuiston, in particolare Ancora una fermata e Ho baciato Shara Wheeler: sono libri pieni di comunità e gioia queer, e mi piacerebbe ricreare quell'atmosfera anche nel mio romanzo. La scena di oggi è pensata proprio in questa direzione, perché il gruppetto di concorrenti queer si sta consolidando e accolgono Cielo fra di loro.

Estratto di oggi:

Sofia sbatte i palmi sul tavolo e si guarda intorno. «Aspetta, sul serio? Siamo tutte queer qui?» «Vediamo…» Angel le indica una dopo l’altra. «Voi siete una specie di comune saffica, no?» Le ragazze si scambiano un’occhiata di ammissione e annuiscono. «Preferiamo il termine “congrega femminista”, ma comune saffica ci piace.» «Ecco. Io sono gay ed enby. Maryam è un’orgogliosa lesbica musulmana…» Maryam alza gli occhi al cielo. «…e la nostra Èirene—» «Irene» lo corregge lei. «La nostra Irene è bi.» Sofia si volta verso di me. «E Cielo?» «Già…» Angel congiunge le dita e mi scruta con le palpebre socchiuse. «Tu cosa sei? Perché il mio gaydar sicuramente capta qualcosa.» Fa un gesto circolare a mano aperta davanti a sé. «Ma non riesco a capire cosa, di preciso.» Irene affonda nelle spalle e tiene lo sguardo fisso sulla tavola. «Dai, non metterla a disagio… Non è il genere di domande che si fa così.» Maryam mi guarda con la coda dell’occhio. «Non devi rispondere, se non vuoi.» «Uhm… No, va bene.» Mi inumidisco le labbra. «Io sono aroace.» Irene sposta lo sguardo su di me e mi fissa intensamente. Probabilmente non sa cosa significhi. Mi schiarisco la voce. «Aromantica e asessuale. Non provo attrazione romantica o sessuale per nessun genere.» Angel storce le labbra. «Uhm, peccato.» Uno scalpellotto di Maryam colpisce la sua nuca. «Ahi!» Angel si massaggia la testa con una mano. «Mai?» chiede Sofia guardandomi. «È difficile dirlo, soprattutto per l’attrazione romantica. A volte mi sembra di innamorarmi di qualcuno, ma ho sempre l’impressione che sia più che altro il modo in cui la società mi ha insegnato a dare un senso a quei sentimenti.» Sofia borbotta. «Eterocispatriarcato di merda.» Sorrido. «Però sì, ogni tanto trovo una persona per cui provo un’attrazione platonica o estetica con cui vorrei formare un legame emotivo profondo, anche se non ha nulla a che vedere con il romanticismo. E sono sempre ragazze.» Irene mi sta fissando, ma quando la ricambio, sposta in fretta lo sguardo da un’altra parte. «Quindi sei una saffica anche tu!» esclama Sofia raggiante. Alzo le spalle. «Non ci ho mai pensato in questi termini, ma immagino di sì.»

E qui è esattamente quando ha suonato la sveglia. A domani con il seguito della scena!
