really cannot emphasise enough that "All Men Bad" and "masculinity is inherently violent, dangerous, and evil" are load-bearing pillars of radfeminism and these ideas cannot have a place in any truly progressive queer theorising.

Fun fact you don't have to say things along the lines of "musicals are cringe but I like K-pop Demon Hunters" sometimes music helps tell the story and it works very well it's chill

no actually i don't think antivaxxers' kids should die from a disease. i don't think gun advocates' kids should die in school shooting. children dying is bad actually, even if they're children of people you don't like.

tbh, sometimes the “platonic explanation for this” is the more interesting one

Treating it like a Trump only issue is ignoring the actual causes. It's dumb to say this is just about scoring political points as a game when that is essentially what you're doing by responding to it like that.
The thing is I’m not treating it as a Trump only issue. The post just meant it had massively accelerated over the course of six months - which it has. I read somewhere that ICE’s budget is now more than the Marines.
People pointing out that similar facilities happened under Biden and Obama aren’t offering anything new. It just allows them to feel smug online, and it signals to a bunch of other people to go “Oh well, everyone’s evil. I won’t bother doing anything.”

aw man just caught the very end of the game changer ep showing that Edward Fonseca (the barber artist who shaved the design on Erika's hair) has since passed away :(
looks like his loved ones set up a gofundme for his funeral and related expenses back in February and it fell short of the 10k goal - if you liked today's Game Changer, maybe consider sending a few bucks their way and pop them over their goal!

Chinese weighlifter Li Wenwen successfully defended her title, winning the gold medal in the women's over 81kg category at the Paris Olympics on Sunday!
In her private life, Li is actually a fan of traditional Chinese Hanfu.

I am once again upset that Romeo and Juliet adaptations forget Paris exists and so he's like the only character who hasn't undergone major reimaginings/readaptations because like.
He stands to benefit from EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE PLAY
Paris is about to take over his house, basically take over the Capulets, AND the only other hair to a comparably powerful house has been exiled after indirectly getting the only threat to Paris's claim to the throne killed
You can totally do an adaptation where everything that happens is the result of Paris's manipulations and he gets fucked over because his Light Yagami-ass planning didn't account for the situation where Romeo fucking murders him because he and Juliet are already married.

one misogynistic myth that i have heard so often despite it being not even a little bit true is the whole "women are always worse drivers than men" thing which is crazy because statistically it is actually the opposite.

Watching TikTok try and rewrite fandom history by saying fandom culture was created by teenage girls makes me eye twitch to an extent I’ve never felt it twitch before. The middle aged women printing out Spirk erotica to share with each other in the 1900s did not die for this!!!! How dare you erase our important historic moments!!! You would be nowhere without the 30 year old women who dedicated their free time to making these spaces happen. Put some respect on their names!!!!

It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.
