“In the war film, a soldier can hold his buddy—as long as his buddy is dying on the battlefield. In the western, Butch Cassidy can wash the Sundance Kid’s naked flesh—as long as it is wounded. In the boxing film, a trainer can rub the well-developed torso and sinewy back of his protege—as long as it is bruised. In the crime film, a mob lieutenant can embrace his boss like a lover—as long as he is riddled with bullets. 

Violence makes the homo-eroticism of many “male” genres invisible; it is a structural mechanism of plausible deniability.”

–Tarantino’s Incarnational Theology: Reservoir Dogs, Crucifixions, and Spectacular Violence. Kent L. Brintnall.

Why are you using chatgpt to get through college. Why are you spending so much time and money on something just to be functionally illiterate and have zero new skills at the end of it all. Literally shooting yourself in the foot. If you want to waste thirty grand you can always just buy a sportscar.

“The Anglesey Tiara was at one time owned by Henry Cyril Paget - fifth Marquess of Anglesey.

It is expected to fetch a six-figure sum at the event in the Netherlands.

But behind the jewel-encrusted treasure lies a story of squandered wealth, Edwardian scandal, and an accusation of “erasing Welsh queer history”. “

I think it’s interesting that the LGBTQ community at large doesn’t really seem to acknowledge that sexual shame is one of the most common and profoundly felt emotions in the community still to this day. I think people confuse an ability to bite back at bigots or knowing on paper that their identity, body, etc is “valid” with true self-acceptance…yet I know huge numbers of people who have serious trouble fucking because they think of themselves as deeply abject and it’s weirdly normalized, or framed as a personal hangup instead of something that can be brought out into the open. No amount of claiming infinitesimal victories over people who get out slightly less than you can really confront shame at its core. I really think it should be something we raise more consciousness about and (ironically) shame people for less.

interesting choice of photos. no clarification that before things escalated ICE was cruising around in military vehicles firing warning shots at people literally just walking by and hit protesters with vehicles. the protests turned violent when the national guard showed up.

here is a video from two days ago I screen recorded from a news report:

to be clear i'm not denouncing violent protests. just pointing out the narrative is already being twisted.
