I often do think it is important to call myself a woman. In past I've had kids ask me "are you a man or a girl" and in hindsight I think these kids were quite perceptive of the world. Especially when you're in your 20s it's men and girls, I've seen students write pieces describing themselves as men, but their female peers of the same age they call girls, but I have also heard bisexual women say they like both men and girls. In past I've fallen into that myself and said that yeah I'm a lesbian I like girls, but do I? No I am in my twenties and I am actually only attracted to my fellow adults - women. It does feel more serious, less trivial, both to be and be attracted to women as opposed to girls, and that can be a bit uncomfortable to be faced with. It is also important to me as a butch. I am no longer a tomboy I am a butch I am no longer a girl I am a woman. I am a woman and women can be like me. I don't feel like I've succeeded enough at adulting to call myself a woman, but that doesn't matter. I am 25, and if the word bears other connotations so be it, that's not my problem.

it's notable that while terfs have certainly discovered me at this point, they're generally not attacking me personally bc i'm not a trans woman

I've seen a lot of takes on sag joining the strike go by. Some focus on the fact that most actors are in fact not big names being paid big bucks so don't let the studios fool you. And yes very good, don't trust company propaganda.

Others talk about the less frequently mentioned (and more challenging) take that every actor, and writer too, deserves to be paid fairly for their work. Yes even if they are the big names who have already been paid bigger bucks. Excellent, love to see workers' solidarity and people learning the difference between well paid and hoarding money indiscriminately.

But the one I so far haven't seen mentioned, is the fact that you in fact want the big names with the big bucks there. You need them to join in. They add the weight, the leverage and are harder obstacles to ignore.

Let me put it this way.

Sag and wga members are the army besieging the castle and the big names are the trebuchets ready to fuck shit up.

Jean Vicquemare, because I too keep reaching into the fire, against all reason, to save people I am loyal to who do not want to be saved, and every time I reach in, I get a little more bitter, a little more desperate, and the years coil around us like barbed wire; we bleed, and I hold on tighter, mangling the pieces that are left, the parts I can still see that I cling to - remember me, remember us? It’s not healthy, but it’s all we got - and you slip away more often than I can yank you back, but I’m stubborn like that.

You won’t pry out I love you from my mouth, the way thank you will never leave yours, but we’ve got our teeth in each other’s heart just the same.

My pain wears sarcasm as a face, and lash out as I may, my grip won’t loosen, even if it kills me a little more every day; your liquid eyes staring into mine, and what it all comes down to is, i’ve got you.

I had made a post a while back sort of rambling about how Crosby would respond if Blakely insisted on teaching him (and maybe Douglass) how to fly a B-17 just in case anything happened to one or both pilots on their crew, and while reading through some personnel files on the 100th bomb groups website I found information about this very situation happening to a crew in the 100th.

On the Sept 6, 1943 Mission to Stuttgart, Sumner Reeder and his crew were hit by several shells, seriously wounding several crew members and shredding the system that fed oxygen to the copilot, bombardier, and the top turret gunner. Copilot Harry Edeburn had been hit by a 30 mm shell in the shoulder and was mortally wounded. In the nose, bombardier Peter Delao had serious wounds to his face, arms, and legs, and navigator Russell Engel had lost an eye and was bleeding from several other wounds.

While top turret gunner Harold Pope rigged emergency oxygen lines to the bombardier, navigator Russell Engel made his way up to the cockpit and climbed into the copilot seat.

"Engel was a terrible sight with the blood pouring from his wounded eye. I had taught him to fly the ship back in the States and he sat there doing what he could to help."

Eventually, they had to persuade him to go back to the radio compartment where he could be patched up but the radio operator, having grown very weak from loss of blood and his eye swelling shut.

Sumner managed to fly the plane back to England where they landed on a grass runway at an RAF fighter strip. By the time Sumner phoned base and returned to the hospital, Engel had received three blood transfusions in succession. Engel and Delao were awarded Purple Hearts and sent home after an extended stay in the hospital.

“The Distinguished Service Cross was awarded to both Reeder and Engel as well as posthumously to Harry Edeburn (who was awarded the medal due to his continued effort to return to the controls and help his injured pilot fly the damaged plane even though he himself was dying from the wounds he sustained from the 20 mm). Reeder recovered from his wounds and later became C.O. of the 349th.”

Sumner Reeder eventually completed his tour, returning to the US in September of 1944 where he continued to serve, training pilots. Unfortunately, on March 19, 1945, Reeder was killed in a C-54 training accident off the Florida coast.

When any of my friends get diagnosed officially with autism, I watch them go gradually from one phase to the next regards Empathy.

The first phase is the: 'Oh, no, I don't have empathy, I can't interpret feelings very well you see. I always found it difficult, and now I know that I dont understand feelings very well' phase.

Which theyve been taught via the process of trying to get diagnosed. Its a topic used a lot to identify autism and used in many diagnosis tools.

Then eventually, once they've been diagnosed, and so have the freedom to fully explore themselves without holding up their differences through the lense of specific criterias needed to get a diagnosis, they start to go through the next phase:

'But it is kinda strange....because I do feel things a lot. And I understand other peoples feelings. In fact I feel like I feel emotions more intensely than other people. But I just get misinterpreted a lot, because its like we communicate differently...'

And then they get to that final conclusion:

'OH, I do have empathy. I have a lot of empathy. I recognise feelings very well. Its just that Im not speaking the NT language, and they aren't speaking mine. So Im in a world where the feelings get lost in translation'

I observe this a lot because from an outsider pov, its very easy to see that your friends have empathy and feelings, even if they've convinced themselves during the 'Im autistic' realisation that they dont. And Ive been through this myself, many years ago. You know you're different/autistic, and try to squeeze into the specifics set up for a diagnosis criteria originally made by NTs

Greek chorus alignment chart

Legally Blonde the Musical - Chaotic Good

Hercules - Chaotic Neutral

Hadestown - Chaotic Evil

(edit: I've been told they fit the "lawful evil" role better, or even the "true neutral one", and I agree, but for the sake of consistency, I assigned them the chaotic evil allignment. This post isn't really serious I made it mostly in a humorous way)

Responding to this post as a separate post because I want to respond to something that I think is beyond the scope/intention of the original post (and honestly the scope/intention of the response in the linked post) but that, like.

I want to respond to it because it's been churning in my head.

Specifically the idea of the Protestant Work Ethic and trying to earn your way into heaven.

Because that's the very antithesis of what the Gospel is.

Over and over, it is made very clear that you cannot earn your way into heaven. (Titus 3:5 and Ephesians 2:8-9 are the ones that come immediately to mind, but there are more than that. (I also like - Romans 4 and the entire discussion about it being faith and not works and especially Romans 4:4-8.)) Literally one of the entire points is that you are stuck in your sin and you cannot get out and no matter what you do, you cannot earn your way in, but God loves you and chose you and wants you, so He paid your debt Himself (Jesus) and is giving you His righteousness - His perfection - because He was the only one who could earn His way in.

God is for you, not against you.

Are there things you should be doing? Yes. (Ephesians 2:10 talks about that, too.) But, like. It's not to earn your way in. It's out of love and gratefulness to the One who got you out of your horrible predicament? And then on top of that, made you a co-heir with Him?

Because it's...He paid for you to get in and then also you got adopted as a child of God? And someone described it once as good works after that being like when a child makes a drawing for their dad and their dad hangs it on the fridge? It's not to earn anything; it's because you love Him, too?

So, like - I want to know where the Protestant Work Ethic went wrong. Why so many people think it's about earning their way when it isn't that at all.

It's a gift. It was always a gift.
