Mom: “I was undisciplined, I ate the whole pizza” (this was an individual pizza)

Me: “Hey, stop that, don’t do that to yourself”

Mom: *intense, unending pushback ensues*

Me, like 15 minutes later: “Okay, but you use the word ‘undisciplined’ every time you have any quantity of pizza. Either you were undisciplined by having too much pizza or you were undisciplined some other time and you’re glad you weren’t this time. This has been the case for months and I’m getting worried about you.”

Mom: *goes full deer in headlights on me*

Mom: “Ah. Gotcha. Noted. Um… thanks for the intervention, kiddo.”

So yeah, a reminder to everyone: stop moralizing your own choices, especially food choices. It is fine to say you’d rather eat less pizza, or even have eaten less pizza. But don’t say that you are [insert negative adjective] for eating more pizza than you think you should have. That is very very bad for your self image. You are not anything in particular for making a choice that you don’t like. You’re still deserving, you’re still valid, you’re still lovable, loved, and worth loving. We’re here for you if you need it. Good luck, and keep at it. You’ve got this.

Can we talk about the fact that Aziraphale didn't pull away from the kiss? Crowley let him go, he does this unsteady bounce back.

Slowed down you can see it's almost like he was on his tip toes, the way he drops down and steps back. He's certainly capable of standing his ground, resisting any force Crowley might be putting into the grip on his coat. He was willingly being kept in place, and on his tip toes so Crowley didn't have to lean down so much.

Dare I say, encouraging? You wouldn't put both your hands on someones back if you wanted them to stop kissing you. Certainly wouldn't push forward into the kiss, look at how Crowley's head moves forward and then back.

on principle opposed to describing art i dislike as 'masturbatory' because even though it's an alluringly contemptuous word to sneer it's impossible to reconcile with my pro-masturbation stance

The deeply moralist tone that a lot of discussions about media representation take on here are primarily neoliberal before they are anything else. Like the shouting matches people get into about “purity culture” “pro/anti” etc nonsense (even if I think it’s true that some people have a deeply christian worldview about what art ought to say and represent about the world) are downstream of the basic neoliberal assumption that we can and must educate the public by being consumers in a market. “Bad representation” is often framed as a writer’s/developer’s/director’s/etc’s failure to properly educate their audience, or to educate them the wrong way with bad information about the world (which will compel their audience to act, behave, internalise or otherwise believe these bad representations about some social issue). Likewise, to “consume” or give money to a piece of media with Bad Representation is to legitimate and make stronger these bad representations in the world, an act which will cause more people to believe or internalise bad things about themselves or other people. And at the heart of both of those claims is, again, the assumption that mass public education should be undertaken by artists in a private market, who are responsible for creating moral fables and political allegories that they will instil in their audiences by selling it to them. These conversations often become pure nonsense if you don’t accept that the moral and political education of the world should be directed by like, studio executives or tv actors or authors on twitter. There is no horizon of possibility being imagined beyond purchasing, as an individual consumer in a market, your way into good beliefs about the world, instilled in you by Media Product

the thing about joe hills of nashville tennessee is that on a server of folks roleplaying mad scientists and zombies and kings and creeper-goats and kakashi of naruto and mayors and businessmen and slimes and iskall and dungeon masters and doom guy and dwarves and elves and aliens and whatever the gigaverse is, you have Joe Hills The Regular Human Guy From Nashville (Tennessee), and yet his normalcy is frequently more bizarre somehow than whatever else is going on. and this never ever fails to enchant and delight me.
