This is why I will never leave this site. Idk if Tumblr is “social media” or a micro-blogging site or all two and more in a trench coat, but Jesus compared to every other darkpatterned Skinner box app I have, this one will serve me new and intriguing fucking cogent literary analysis and I think that is beautiful actually.

OP makes good points! Idk how much you can separate the Soldier from the Masculinity for Macbeth because they are both endemic to his sense of self—and any time your ego is on the line you tend to react hella irrationally✨—but I also agree that so many readings of Macbeth read it all through a gendered masculine lens and leave some of the discussion of the Soldiering and that aspect of Macbeth on the table by comparison.

Which is NEAT, because if you want to talk about kings and soldiers you’re also talking about CLASS baby! Macbeth didn’t grow up royalty, he didn’t grow up insulated from the way wars were actually fought (and certainly in some ways actual kings of the time period weren’t as far from the blood and mud as we might think, but they sure were the wealthy, powerful land-owners!) he grew up fighting them! As a titled lord sure, but not at the top of the heap either. Macbeth had to work, and his job was killing. And it warped his sense of self and how he views the world and solves problems.

macbeth really is such a fascinating guy because when he's thinking about doing the murder he actually sits with himself for a second and goes "if i do this, i'm signing over my immortal soul, and i'm probably going to be miserable with guilt" and then he does it and is miserable with guilt. and it makes him very very interesting! because it's not an impulse thing! he knows! so what makes a person make that choice? what amount of personal ambition, what lust for glory, what amount of wifely-pressure-fueled conception-of-masculinity-as-violence can get someone to do that?

because it isn't idiocy. he knows damn well. and none of his asides, none of his elaborate visually-fantastical speeches or deft metaphors, are the words of a blundering dumbass. personally, i think the core of macbeth is exactly what we find out before he ever steps on stage: he's a soldier, and more than that, he;s a killer. and he's extremely good at it. fuck diplomacy--basically every single problem he faces in the play is one he tries to kill his way out of, because it's the only strategy he knows. at some point, i don't even think it's just manhood-as-violence for him; it's personhood-as-violence. in 3.1 he threatens to get into the lists against fate, against the price of his own defiled soul; at the end, he resolves to go down fighting no matter what. as much as people love to joke about macbeth being foolhardy and easily-pressured and not looking more than five minutes into the future--the guy knows. but all he's ever done, all he can do, is fight. he's not a fool. he's a machine.

but also, fascination aside, what the fuck is wrong with him lmfao my guy you KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN

Dark Patterns: LinkedIn lures with more when there isn't any. #GoodPractice #Tip brought to you by Yours *TrulyJuly*. #YoursTrulyJuly #TechTuesday #TechBlogger #TechTip #tech #techie #digital #online #DigitalMarketing #OnlineMarketing #usability #UX #UserExperience #uxdesign #WebDesign #DesignThinking #CustomerJourney #ContentMarketing #UsabilityFail #FOMO #MonopolyIsBad #DarkPatterns #LinkedIn #BetterDigitalWorld #JOMO

I recommend LinkedIn, as it’s a great professional networking platform for jobs and business. But also LinkedIn has its flaws, especially since it was taken over by Microsoft: LinkedIn ‘0 Activity’ but prompts to ‘Show all activity’.   While the statement “This person hasn’t posted yet” with the added explanation: “Recent post this person shares will be displayed here.” should be enough…

Miro (previously Realtimeboard) forces you to manually untick all the checkboxes to become unsubscribed. To me it is a dark pattern of design: Easy in, hard out. Thumbs down, Miro.
