“sylvia plath did not stick her head in the oven for this” is truly an insane thing to write. like, truly fucking egregious. I don’t particularly care how this person feels about the album, but using a woman’s suicide as an attempt to be “witty” is repugnant.

it’s doubly bad when you consider that so much of the tortured poets department is about struggles with mental health and suicidal ideation. using one woman’s tragic death to poke fun at another’s suffering is thoughtless at best and viciously cruel at worst.

I long for the day that women’s pain and torment are treated as more than the punchline of deeply unfunny, cruel “jokes”

Hostages tortured to death. Parents executed in front of their children. Doctors beaten. Babies murdered. Sexual assault weaponised. No, not Hamas crimes. This is part of an ever-growing list of documented atrocities committed by Israel in the five months since 7 October – quite separate from the carpet bombing of 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza and a famine induced by Israel’s obstruction of aid. And yet while the western establishment media has been chock full of the most lurid allegations of savagery directed against Hamas, sometimes with little or no supporting evidence, Israeli atrocities are excused or quickly forgotten. Accusations against Hamas are endlessly reheated to paint a picture of a supremely dangerous and bestial militant group, in turn rationalising the slaughter and starvation of Gaza’s population to “eradicate” it as a terrorist organisation. But equally barbarous atrocities committed by Israel – not in the heat of battle, but in cold blood – are treated as unfortunate, isolated incidents that cannot be connected, that paint no picture, that reveal nothing of import about the military that carried them out. If Hamas’ crimes were so savage and sadistic they still need to be reported months after they took place, why does the establishment media never feel the need to express equal horror and indignation at equivalent or worse acts of cruelty and sadism being inflicted by Israel on Gaza – not five months ago, but right now? Israel's torture of doctors, its sexual assaults of Palestinian women, it's leaving premature babies to die after its forces stormed a hospital. Where is the outrage? This is part of a pattern of behaviour by the western media that leads to only one possible deduction: Israel’s five-month-long attack on Gaza is not being reported. Rather, it is being selectively narrated – and for the most obscene of purposes. Through consistent and glaring failures in their coverage, establishment media – including supposedly liberal outlets, from the BBC and CNN to the Guardian and New York Times – have smoothed the way for Israel to carry out mass slaughter in Gaza, what the World Court has assessed as plausibly a genocide. The role of the media has not been to keep us, their audiences, informed about one of the greatest crimes in living memory. It has been to buy time for US President Joe Biden to keep arming his most useful of client states in the oil-rich Middle East, and to do so without damaging his prospects for re-election in November’s US presidential vote. If Russian President Vladimir Putin was a madman and a barbarous war criminal for invading Ukraine, as every western media outlet agrees, what does that make Israeli officials, when every one of them supports far worse atrocities in Gaza, directed overwhelmingly at civilians? And more to the point, what does that make Biden and the US political class for materially backing Israel to the hilt: sending bombs, vetoing demands for a ceasefire at the United Nations, and freezing desperately needed aid? Worrying about the optics, the president expresses his discomfort, but he carries on helping Israel regardless. While western politicians and commentators worry about some imaginary existential threat those brief events of five months ago pose to the nuclear-armed state of Israel, Israel is quite literally wiping Gaza off the map day by day, quite undisturbed.

“i love the bones of you” is such an intimate admission. it can mean yes i love your exterior, the way you look, the way you speak, but i love your skeleton, the very thing that makes you, more than anything else. it can mean yes i know you’ve become something else on the outside, something perhaps not as agreeable, but i still love you at your core, love your very being. it can mean i love you in a way nobody else can ever know, i love the parts of you that you haven’t even seen yourself.

gonna break my brain if i think too much about how rhaenyra says specifically, "alicent's son sits my throne." LIKE EXACTLY. EXACTLY!!! all of this conflict and strife - the entire story, where it begins and ends, is ALL ABOUT ALICENT AND RHAENYRA. they are the core of everything. and rhaenyra knows it to the extent that she won't even say aegon's name.

what would be the point? this is about her and alicent.
