The new A League of Their Own series is getting review bombed on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb via angry incels upset by “woke” / LGBTQ themes, “box ticking”, etc.

The show is clever, heartfelt… and not meant for them.

Be sure to watch on Amazon Prime Video and give it positive reviews on RT and IMDb. ⚾️💜

Internet?

A League of Their Own comments on Amazon are full of people being mad it’s gay and black. It has 1 star because of the number of bad reviews. Is that… allowed? I get that ratings are democratic but like… what’s happening.

it’s all about reverting to your embarrassing hobbies from 2009 when you realize you were actually right the whole time

The history of corporate propaganda.

'Nobody wants to work' fails to mention the poverty wages and horrible workplaces.

Reframe the narrative: Capitalists refuse to pay thriving wages.

A comforting thought

Five thousand years ago, the Sumerians called the night ngi, the stars mul, and the moon Nanna.

Four thousand years ago, the Akkadians called the night mūšu, the stars kakkabū, and the moon Sîn.

Three thousand years ago, the Hittites called the night išpanza, the stars haštereš, and the moon Arma.

Two and a half thousand years ago, the Greeks called the night nux, the stars astra, and the moon Selênê.

Two thousand years ago, the Romans called the night nox, the stars stellae, and the moon Luna.

Kings and queens and heroes looked up at them. So did travelers coming home, and little children who sneaked out of bed. So did slaves, and mothers and soldiers and old shepherds, and Sappho and Muršili and Enheduanna and Socrates and Hatshepsut and Cyrus and Cicero. In this darkness it didn’t matter who they were, or where they stood. Only that they were human.

Think of that tonight, when you close your window. You are not alone. You share this night sky with centuries of dreamers and stargazers, and people who longed for quiet. Are you anxious? The Hittites were too: they called it pittuliyaš. Does your heart ache? The Greeks felt it too: they called it akhos. Those who look up to the stars for comfort are a family, and you belong to them. Your ancestors have stood under Nanna, Sîn, Arma, Selênê and Luna for five thousand years. Now its light is yours.

May it soothe you well.

“From the script’s first draft, Larson says she noted the significance of women being involved, in all stages of the film’s creative process.”

A little reminder I made for myself a couple of years back about the eternal struggle and process and determination of being an artist, the cyclical nature of pride and frustration and inspiration I found myself in as a child. I think it’s kind of a beautiful thing.

So sad that if you don’t know your rights they will abuse their power, fucking disgraceful
