saw someone saying I derailed my own post about the Romani genocide and that I appropriated the holocaust by bringing up the sex trafficking of Romani women that's currently happening in Europe... ohh some of you are unredeemable fr

Realistically tho, there's no need for a gortash romance.

Ao3 is a thing.

The stories you find on there are better and far richer than what the game could offer anyway.

Go support your local fanfic author.

I feel like in the past the mix of this site being used for both activism and fandom helped contribute to a lot of unhinged politicized fandom discourse where yeah ofc there's a political tie to media but ppl used it as... a form of activism where it was given disproportionate importance compared to other activism discussions? Whereas now we're swinging to the opposite site of How Dare You Care About Meaningless TV Shows When Politics.

Like... we can have a mix of realizing there's more important stuff to focus on than shipping discourse in the world at large without also minimizing the insane doxxing and death threats behavior going on in fandom that people in fandom have to take into consideration to be able to do their hobby, esp given how those attitudes stem from irl political climates at times in ways that are telling to study. Hobbies are kinda how we prevent activism burnout also. Crazey how that works.

i think perhaps my least favourite fantasy trope is when the main character (who is a princess) goes ”let’s abolish the monarchy!!” and everyone agrees, and then she still rules her people forever amen, no democratic process in sight

Run the World (Girls) - Brittany S. Pierce and Santana Lopez + McKinley High Girls

“With only two days left for people to announce their candidacy, that leaves me and Brittany running in this race. Which is more like me running, and you know, Brittany just whimsically hopping and skipping nearby. No one takes her seriously.”

on a “roman is gay/ace truther” level, i find the idea of roman going after kerry to be so baffling because, like. every time he's expressed 'attraction' to women his father finds attractive and approves of, it’s always seemed so desperately performative to me, like roman trying to convince the world (his father) that he's sexually attracted to women when he isn't. and, like, by the end of the s3 he can't even manage the charade anymore? like, when logan asks him if he thinks kerry's attractive, he just answers in a very tired, practically monotone, unconvincing voice "yeah, yep."

(plus i feel like with where roman's been at so far this season it doesn't make any sense, either? because if he did pursue kerry, at least to me, it would come off as incredibly performative. and i feel like that’s something roman’s had a problem with all season? like, he could've easily made a joke about his father's sex life in the last episode like everyone expected him to but he didn't. he didn't want to. he didn't want to slip into that role because that’s what it is for him: a role he’s been playing. and he's tired of it.)

i wanted to try out using SQL for managing my work data because Python is a real bitch about putting different data types into one table most of the time, but so far it is so frustrating i'm close to tearing every object around me to shreds. every step of the way, i run into some new problems. and stackexchange is mostly unhelpful because they just go "it's simple just execute these 20 commands" WHERE. BITCH WHERE. cmd doesn't know what "mysql" is. mysql command line doesn't have "global" defined WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TELL MEEEEEEEEE I'M SHTUPID

hate how any valid criticism of femininity is acceptably offset by some numbskull pointing out how skillful it is to perform said femininity, when in fact it should be noted that going so far as to endure and practice a skill for the sake of beauty is the female socialization that these ‘‘feminists’’ supposedly understand lol like it goes over their heads

Like no.

your dedication to achieve the perfect winged eyeshadow is not feminist just because it required skill. femininity is a set of behaviors after all.
