It’s a shame that anyone in a position of power to change things only got there by either nepotism (has no insight or motivation to change things from the get go) or by going through the meat grinder of bureaucracy and had to compromise everything along the way and therefore is left with no motivation to actually make those changes

Let me not be Ashamed

Let me not be Ashamed

Psalm 31: 17-18, Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon Thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. On a sea of trouble, doubt, fear, and despair, David says, “Let me not be ashamed.” I looked up that word in its Hebrew form, and here’s…

Gradually getting more bland and cookie cutter

Media companies will continue to cannibalize themselves with useless spin-offs of spin-offs and nostalgia bait while they let unique, creative ideas die because they don’t fulfill their profit fantasies.

Do you know how many of my favourite shows I’ve discovered in their second or third seasons through word of mouth? Most of them. It takes time to build fan bases. They don’t just appear overnight. Even in massive success stories like Stranger Things, the first season wasn’t an overnight success. Word of mouth brought in massive viewership, and that sort of organic growth just won’t happen in the limited amount of time these companies are giving shows.

There are so many more shows that I hear about that I’d probably like and give a watch—My Lady Jane, which was cancelled the day after I started watching it, comes to mind—but it feels completely useless to get invested in things anymore when these corporations are cancelling shows left and right because they aren’t the next fucking Mandalorian or Game of Thrones or Bridgerton.

Imagine you're some Inquisition lackey and the Inquisitor, an already famous decorated war hero and ender of the 5th Blight, looks you dead in the eyes and starts confidently pronouncing the x in Val Royeaux. I'd lose my mind.

Vriska: Just committed a crime. God I love killing people for money

Feferi: Hey you shouldn't do that. You should be krilling seaple because you enjoy it, not to play the part of a carpitalist cog >38/

Vriska: You're so right, I'm such a 8uffoon

"evolve" = hope to become as close to an imitation of a male as you possibly can, because the female is a lesser human being, and mimicry of the superior sex is preferable to accepting your own female inferiority. you forgot the secret third thing: there is no female inferiority.

that you are wielding your "big micropenis" freak talk against women with healthy clits suggests you know you cannot compete with an actual man. you have assimilated into misogyny-speak very well but that is all. you know you cannot compare to a man, cannot hope to antagonise a man with only an enlarged clitoris. this attempt at machismo is very sad.

cis women should take a lil testosterone and grow that Thang out too. don't be afraid to evolve.

was just reading thirteen storeys casually and

Damian is walking slowly back and forth, holding a tape measure. His hair has returned to its relatively unkempt state, and his shirt is now partially unbuttoned. Beneath it can be seen a chest binder and what appears to be a battered St Christopher medal on a thin metal chain.

- Thirteen Storeys by Jonathan Sims

TRANS MAN CHARACTER

I’m not even joking when I say I stopped breathing and was so overcome with emotion I had to put the book down for several minutes

we have law students instead of mentats. little (psychically) freaks with deformed skulls made suitable for their degenerate and unnatural thought patterns. very prone to being debate perverts and despot perverts. in competition with artists for having the lowest nature.

Some “free” country.

They told us when we were kids how lucky we were to be born in a country where everyone was free and equal. We soon learned that wasn’t true, but while I was young it seemed as if SOME progress had been made in that direction.

Now we have fascists running for president, racists and homophobes are “out loud and proud” and women have lost bodily autonomy in many states.

It’s horrific.

This is fucking sad 🤬🤬🤬

Fans reacting to the English translation of Scissor Seven names:

OP ("Tear-streaked"):

Ran into these when I was out (actually I had to search multiple stores, it was a nightmare...)

Then when I got home I suddenly realized that the English text underneath was their names and it killed me. Seven and Thirteen at least were ok, they're pretty normal. But Chiya hahahahaha! "Red Tooth"! This direct translation is way too plain...

Commenter ("I wanna go home"):

Based on that I'm gonna suggest "white fox" "black bird" "stone door" "death flower"...Yall shadow killers

OP:

Hahahahaha China's specialty, plant-animal codenames. "Hello hello, White Fox White Fox, it's me, Black Bird, do you copy"
