I know I'm a week late but I do think people are misunderstanding the point of the Anthony Bourdain quote about Kissinger
The point was never "Anthony Bourdain has good politics and is an unproblematic fave," the point is that even someone with mainstream liberalish politics who goes to Cambodia for a food tour - a, let's be honest, very bougie type of trip to be part of your job - and has a basic understanding of history and a bare minimum of human decency can come away from that bougie food tour wanting to murder Henry Kissinger with their bare hands. The point is that Henry Kissinger fucked up this country so bad the only reason he wasn't lynched decades ago is because it's on the opposite side of the world and the people who were in proximity to him never really saw what it was. The point is that if we could see firsthand what our First World politics do to the Third World we would understand that monsters walk among us and it's a cultural failing that we let them die at home at 100 years old surrounded by their friends and family.
#henry kissinger#the unifying theory of fuck that guy#i use first and third world intentionally here because that is the exact political structure in play#first world didn't mean rich or privileged or important#it meant the us and its allies#the second world was the ussr#and the third world was the countries we were fighting over in the quote-unquote cold war

one of the most important things terry pratchett has taught me is that it's okay to be angry. no one has ever said that to me before. he taught me that anger was an engine. that you can use that anger. that it goes hand in hand with love. he taught me to never underestimate my anger, because it's one of my strongest points. he taught me genuine anger was one of the world’s great creative forces. he taught me i shouldn't be fighting my anger, but what caused it. he himself said rage underlines everything he wrote. i never heard anger talked about so openly like that before and it's freeing, i suppose, to realize you are truly, truly not alone in your rage at the world. you never were.
#“Granny Weatherwax was often angry. She considered it one of her strong points. Genuine anger was one of the world’s great creative forces.#But you had to learn how to control it. That didn’t mean you let it trickle away. It meant you dammed it carefully#let it develop a working head let it drown whole valleys of the mind and then - just when the whole structure was about to collapse -#opened a tiny pipeline at the base and let the iron-hard stream of wrath power the turbines of revenge.“#not a moment goes by that im not thinking of that quote#ill stop going on about anger and pterry i promise it's just that im angry all the time and he's the only thing that has helped so far and#you dont get over that sort of thing#gnu terry pratchett#discworld#terry pratchett

the vampire armand // the vampire lestat
the text is marrying bourgeois privilege with vampire and family horror, essentially equating old and powerful vampires to landed lords who ruled their territories and exploited their subjects according to their every whim… I love these books. the vampire in literary and cinematic history is also often a landed lord but tends to be socially ostracised - here, the vampire actively participates in the social and political environment cultivated by humans and if you didn’t look very closely you probably couldn’t tell them apart. the human capacity for evil feeds and enables the vampire capacity for evil.
#the death they cause is usually just attributed to existing sociopolitical structures and blame is not solely placed on an Othered being.#also thinking about dubai is a child… there’s another qotd quote but it has less to do with landed privilege than these two instances#text#iwtv#tvl#tva#something really vile even otherwise where that marius quote is concerned!#tva is a terrifying terrifying book <3

I cannot believe that I sat through 27 episodes of FoF and hours and hours of angst just to be hit with an mpreg joke I am screaming
(In case it doesn't come through in the translation, depending heavily on context of course, "有了" [have (it)] can be a euphemism for pregnancy. ZYC clutching his abdomen and saying "我...我好像有了" or "I...I think I have it," and then reacting the way he did, I'm pretty sure that's the implication they were going for lmao)
#fangs of fortune#fangs of fortune spoilers#re: the origins of this euphemism#don't quote me on this but I assume it's bc there's a few different ways to say you're pregnant in CN that use the “have (sth)” structure#eg: 有孕 (lit. have pregnancy) or 有胎 (have fetus) or 有喜 (have blessing)#so it could be a shortening of any of those phrases#I think these full phrases are all kind of archaic or old-fashioned ways of saying it also? since I hear them most often in period dramas#the euphemism “有了” itself i've seen in both period and modern settings

Quote
Unpolitical attempts to break out of the bourgeois family usually lead only to deeper entanglement in it, and it sometimes seems as if the fatal germ-cell of society, the family, were at the same time the nurturing germ-cell of uncompromising pursuit of another. With the family there passes away, while the system lasts, not only the most effective agency of the bourgeoisie, but also the resistance which, though repressing the individual, also strengthened, perhaps even produced him.
Theodor W. Adorno, Minima Moralia, 2

"I thought a castle would be a suitable substitute for a home, and mandatory displays of respect would be a suitable substitute for human affection. You were treated like a queen but you were my hostage, Genny what the hell did we think was going to happen?"

#ok but fr marking undergrad essays is such a rollercoaster#i gave two very high marks today and was genuinely impressed and then the next three i marked were practically incoherent#one just copy and pasted their intro instead of writing a conclusion. like it's verbatim the same paragraph#i dont mark down for minor grammar and syntax errors because there's a high rate of ESL students...#... but some of the papers from native english speakers have me more concerned about functional illiteracy than I've ever been#these are 19-20yos in a humanities field at a top university! even the highest scoring essay had basic basic grammar errors and vocab misuse#at least i could tell what the student was trying to say there but some of the others...#if your punctuation and spelling and syntax are all so bad that i literally cant tell what you're trying to say there is a serious problem#even setting aside how many errors like these there were there's the flip side of the issue: actually writing an essay#the last one i marked yesterday had no structure or thesis or secondary sources#everything between the intro and conclusion was the same claim phrased in different ways with some irrelevant non sequitur quotes thrown in#no analysis other than the words 'analysis of this shows' which is *gasp* not a substitute for analysis#OH AND OMG#one made a direct claim about a figure's political stance and attached a footnote. i went to see what the student's source was.#the footnote literally said something like 'i know i should have a source here but it's only context and i don't want to waste my word count#like what???? do you think claims about relevant context don't need evidence??? and the audacity to not give a citation...#... and claim it's because it would take too many words away from your main argument??#just providing the actual citation for the claim would have been 3-5 words max but the footnote about not having room was 30 words#kid do you think i can't tell that you dont have that citation? do you think anyone's buying that you didn't include it to save space?#it's the very first footnote and most of the others are full-length bibliography entries jammed into the footnotes (which we don't require)#so either you were 'worried about space' at the first footnote then changed your mind as you wasted 250 words on unnecessary formatting#or you were over the word limit and were like 'gotta cut something!' and the only footnote you 'simplified for space' was a short basic one#^assuming i believed you. which i dont. because why would you think that would fool anyone.#i still have half the essays left. im tired and so disappointed in how little we're told we should expect from them
