The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)

Neurotypicals in the workplace really love demanding your attention and making you go on an entire verbal scavenger hunt to find what they want from you instead of saying it directly

A new space opera franchise not based on any existing properties would save our culture, I believe (quietly pushing Jupiter Ascending under the bed with one foot)

I just really want to encourage people to consider how a work makes them feel, what it says, and how it says it. Regardless of its "importance" or "prestige," you owe it to yourself to think critically about the things that you engage with

Especially if you find comfort or joy in them

As someone who has historically written "silly women topics" like romance and erotica, I think it kinda sucks that a lot of people still insist that any serious discussion about these works and the broader cultures around them is automatically misogynyistic dismissal, not a good-faith interrogation

i know this looks like a shitpost but it is not

TGWDLM is a very silly meta show parodying invasion of the body snatchers and theater kid culture

and also there is an unnerving song called We're Great Again and it is exactly what you think it is
So now everyone is catching the themes of Wicked and are interested in musicals documenting the rise of fascism in America

Boy oh boy do companies love to pollute Louisiana. Especially the places where all the Black folks live.

But the issue that we have is that capitalism doesn't coordinate effort to ensure a better outcome for all, we're not all getting up at 7am to ensure everyone is healthy, well fed and able to enjoy their life, we're getting up at 7am to work the feedslop machine at the Torment Nexus
“Capitalism forces you to wake up at 7am against your body’s natural rhythms” no that’s Taylorism and if you don’t like living in a society that coordinates effort to ensure a better outcome for all then I don’t think you’ll love the alternatives

"the entire second season is grounded by internal drama within a polycule of French theater queers in post war Paris being explained to a terminally catty Anthony Bourdain clone" sounds good here's millions of dollars get at it

it's truly fascinating to live in a time in which anti LGBT violence is rising again and somehow Interview With A Vampire, the gayest show ever filmed, is on the air and wildly popular

God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group

Oh man not Udo Kier

he brought so much gravitas to whatever role he was playing, even if it was a talking owl in a scooby doo cartoon.

RIP to an incredible performer
