This is something that's a bit Third Rail to say and I want to make it 100% absolutely clear that yes, of course I think women belong in the workplace and anywhere else.

But I think a big problem that lots of NDs have experienced in the last twenty years is that a sub-population of women white collar workers belong to the social set that does most of the social policing of the smallest differences and tries the very hardest to make everyone The Same. And this sub-population has a massive amount of power in many spaces now.

And these people simply were not in the workplace 30 years ago. And 20 years ago, they were in non-profits. Now these people are the dominant tastemakers and the enforcers of corporate and bureaucratic culture. They're the same women who punish women for being NLOGs and the same people who enforce the most standards about Ladylikeness and propriety, via whatever the standard is of that time. They're the same people who as parents would've abused their daughters into "speaking PROPERLY" (which means prettifying everything you say) so how do you expect that dynamic would play out in the office? In the real world? That's their CULTURE.

And now it's yours, whether you want it to be or not. And of COURSE these people see anyone who is Not Them as somehow eugenically dysfunctional because it's always been that way.

It's just that the workplace used to be a more reliable place for a woman to get away from these women, because these women were generally staying home or they were in a volunteer position or in a non-profit. Either these people started working or the culture of what was once much richer people, has spread to the middle class. You'd still deal with other problems at work and male vs female dominated workplaces would present different problems. But the thing is, if you were white collar, you were once upon a time automatically NLOG just for having a job, in many cases. And sometimes that was a feature, and not a bug.

What do you think about people saying Payu has a lot of red flags through the show?

I tried typing stuff to elaborate on that

But really... that's it.

I like the show. The acting is fantastic. The lighting is so pretty and has a personality of its own.

And I'm going to be normal and simply say the sex scenes are very creative. I am doing my best to contain what could be a 100,000 word essay on the sex scenes that would blow your entire mind.

And because I don't feel like typing it, I'll just say that the 2nd coolest course I took in university was the psychology of sex and sensuality in media. And clearly the director took that course too. I have never in my entire media-watching life seen a more masterful grasp and application of media psychology.

So yeah.

I enjoy it for what it is and really don't care about microanalyzing the morals or ethics of stuff.

Characters end up happy. I know how to spot a red flag IRL. Imma enjoy the show about 4 men with fantastic jawlines (and the one guy with resting "I'm going to stab you for fun" face).

I just realized that, among my favorite bands, I can now name at least two artists who (badly. badlybadlybadlySOVERYVERYBADLY) faked a Southern accent in their songs at least twice, and one artist who denied, drawling, 'I don't think I have a Southern accent, no. I don't get why people think I do.'

After stalling for a week your bitch is ALMOST back to being excessively ahead on classwork. Goddammit.

[cats-in-the-clouds]

i keep getting stuck being forced to take classes i despise and that have no relevance to me so i’m going to go all malicious compliance on every single assignment and subtly insult the class material and/or professor

Whenever I see asian, brown, and/or black Americans reinforcing, supporting, and upholding racism, colonization, imperialism, colorism, and any other belief system that not only harms them directly but other non-white communities as well and they still want to claim that they themselves are POC and face discrimination I feel bitter disgust towards them.

i’m fucking sick and tired of the internet not understanding what minimalism is. if i see one more person reblog a picture of a white or beige apartment and tag it “i hate minimalism” i’m gonna lose my mind.

being a former gifted kid and not struggling at all through grade school then going to university and suddenly being a solidly average student with multiple learning disabilities that no one picked up on because of the grades you got as a "gifted" kid really is a hell of a roller coaster

[unproduciblesmackdown]

love my own like theatrical relationship to shakespeare which is a) being so slow to realize like "oh, i've loved theatre? everyone doesn't just feel this way & go 'of course acting onstage would fucking kick ass' & adore rehearsals and hanging around backstage and in greenrooms and changing and performing & etc?' never really occurred to me" and b) my response to most encounters w/shakespeare being "wha" when it comes to anything granular yet the relevance still in the spirit of things lol

namely one prominent example being i was an on campus college student where said campus has a shakespearean theater literally three blocks away, and we had like a freshmen orientation weekly class there doing shit with actors and checking out the theater, not to mention like punchcards to see four shows free (to write up about afterwards but yeah sure whatever) and this wherein also you always got student discount tickets And there were pwyw performances....kicked ass. i went there for shows so many times. i have never fucking known what tf is going on in any of the like dozen shows i saw there when a) audio processing can be tricky enough for real life modern vernacular parsing and b) sure am not used to ye old very stylized language nor any other qualities of shakespearean material so lots of times when i finally started to kind of acclimate to the language it would be like "oh wait that was the conclusion? ok. hoorayyyyy" like also c) You Have A Great Time Seeing Shakespeare Productions Anyways like again i loved going anytime. it's Theatrical and if people are just putting their damn backs into delivering and performing the material it's An Experience even if you're really not following lmfao. and i suppose one can read the text / familiarize oneself beforehand

also like my first and really one of my only like regular theatre performing experiences was my literature class in fourth grade doing a few scenes from julius caesar. i was so hype for getting cassius like one of the most prominent roles? a guy? an antagonist if you're caesar or dante??? oh Fuck yes. b/c of technical difficulties we got to perform it twice in a row when we did a field trip to some other school to perform our respective [scenes from various shakespeare plays] altogether. even back then i was way into it and cared about stuff like "we have like no Effects to make it that dramatic when we kill caesar. or like, non silent. bit awkward" and "also i like, don't know how to act and am just winging it. and of course, i'm also like 9" like in theory i do like to know How to do something vs trying to make it up myself. somewhat lol. a balance, who can argue w/that

beyond that there's also lots of things i just didn't quite realize "counted" lmfao like, when you're a theatre gay with a parent req'ing you go to church every week but you have a good time being in the choir....i was sure on those tenor harmonies & singing loud. and going relatively often to various live theatrical events, having an engaging enough time there, but also would've assumed anyone would be into it And that that's not really the same as actually being in them, of course. but that most of my firsthand experience was just sticking w/ballet for like a decade, and kind of live theatrical performance adjacency there. don't say shit, for years was effectively just like, an ensemble for the occasional performances, but even then it's like hoorayyy i Love rehearsing and being onstage and backstage and dealing w/costumes and coordination behind the scenes and shit. and eventually being like, a distinct individual character in shows, so despite again nobody saying shit you're still somewhat interpreting and doing whatever character work while also enjoying the bennies of [it's dance, so also it's choreographed]....even more clear like oh i love backstage and rehearsing and behind the scenes and onstage and putting together stage character makeup, and i don't mind tackling technical difficulties, and etc etc. didn't even necessarily have the reference like, idk, wouldn't / doesn't everyone feel similarly. classic ye old memory of like being idfk 7 or some shit simply getting to walk with classmates behind a backdrop to the opposite wing of a stage, and loving that lmao. combines a love for [backstage] and [secret passages] type deal lol, big fan of these elements

also in 7th grade doing a theatre/drama class for a few months and we couldn't really get like all this in depth extensive stuff b/c you know, intro course for like 8 weeks for rando middle schoolers, but idk it was just illustrative lmao like after julius caesar, us slapping together some kind of script and my getting to be this fun little theatrical(tm) antagonist guy again? feedback was "what was supposed to be happening" but could've stood to have learned that the enthusiasm and affinity i felt for acting onstage was perhaps indicative of enthusiasm and affinity for acting onstage rather than just, idk, the exact kind of baseline experience any & everyone would have lol. not that i would've necessarily had the chance to really do anything with that knowledge, but even now, ofc i don't particularly anticipate getting to use it, but it's great having that knowledge like ohhh i see. the entire time i've been huge into doing theatre with all these kind of adjacent & gently overlapping brushes with it. gotcha
