#women's torture

Sujata Setia, "A Thousand Cuts," 2024,

For centuries in southeast Asia, lingchi was employed as a particularly brutal form of torture in which a knife was used to methodically remove parts of the body over long periods.

Translated as “death by a thousand cuts,” the ancient practice provides the metaphorical groundwork for London-based Indian artist.

For the past two years, Setia has collaborated with SHEWISE, a charity that empowers marginalized women to overcome trauma and cultivate lives free from oppression and violence.

Through this connection, she spent two years photographing survivors of abuse in South Asian communities across the U.K. “A Thousand Cuts is an effort to understand abuse from many different frames of reference,” the artist says in a statement.

Can we talk about the kind of woman Applejack attracts.

The Tortured Poets Department is a great reminder that women don't owe the world pretty. Taylor Swift doesn't owe anyone an easily digestible pretty pop album wrapped in a bow with short songs you can make TikToks to. She's allowed to present something raw, uncomfortable, and vulnerable to the world.

I just love the idea of Buggy having more women on his crew than the average pirate captain. We have female captains in the story but other than that it doesn't seem like having women on your crew is the norm in the one piece world (which also makes Luffy's crew a minority, but the strawhats are very unique compared to other crews we see, especially in regards to their size but that's a whole other story).

We (kinda) know that Buggy has a thing for "adopting" weird kids and giving them a home where they can feel normal, like part of a crew, a family. He gives people who don't fit in a place to stay, in exchange for their labour of course. This is especially highlighted by opla where Buggy offers Luffy a place on his crew, not hating him from the start but feeling pity for him.

So would it really be surprising for him to offer women who have been wronged a place as well? Ex-prostitutes, r@pe victims etc. I feel like he'd be really considerate for their struggles.

And it makes everyone in the crew feel safe, men women and everyone in-between, to see that on Buggy's list of crimes crewmates can commit, SA is right on top alongside mutiny.

Maybe that's why Alvida trusted him so easily, because she could see he cared where other men wouldn't. And perhaps, this is one of the things that push Mihawk and Crocodile to start respecting the clown.

the 1920s: we're going to Liberate Women From Old-Style Corsets!

me: okay. not sure I agree wholeheartedly that that's something one needs to be liberated from, but certainly one can bend at the waist easier and I'm told you want to do more of that in your dancing. also freedom of individual comfort in undergarment choice is best. so no corsets, then?

the 1920s: hahaha no there will still be corsets, obvi

me: wait but-

the 1920s: they're going to be heavy-duty elastic and only cover the lower torso! :)

me: ...won't that be massively sweaty though? and isn't that just pure shapewear without any redeeming qualities like breast support?

the 1920s: ewwwww ew ew ew. breasts are gross. the new brassieres will flatten them actually

me: so, binders. women are going to be wearing binders if they want/need breast support

the 1920s: Sometimes We Will Combine The Binders With The Elastic Tube Corsets! :D :D D:

me:

the 1920s: and we're going to talk about ~liberating women's bodies~ so much that people who've never worn either style, but for whom our clothing looks more comfortingly familiar, will believe it was unilaterally better. and that we didn't wear corsets at all

me: ...I'm just going to be over here in the corner repeating "end of gendered voting restrictions, jazz, Harlem Renaissance" over and over so I don't murder you

Guns don’t stalk and methodically plan your abduction. Guns don’t suffocate you and lock you in my trunk. Guns don’t cover my walls, ceiling, and floor in plastic wrap. Guns don’t set up lights and cameras to record you. Guns don’t chain you to the furnace in my basement. Guns don’t torture you and make you do unspeakable acts. Guns don’t drag your body into the bed of my truck. Guns don’t dig 6-foot-deep graves in the woods at 4 AM, and guns certainly don’t seek comfort in the chase, the kill, or the cleanup. Guns don’t kill people; people do.

insane ass dynamic??? sherlock asks watson if she actually committed the crime she's being charged with (brutally beating a serial killer to death after he tried to kill her) with full assurances that he'd help her get away with it and she's like "NO. so did you do it?" cause like five episodes ago the two of them had seriously considered murdering him with heroin because he pissed them off so much it would be worth the stain on sherlock's relationship with sobriety and holmes has to be like "omg nooooo nooo i would have told you!"
