when lucy gives her speech when she's ordaining weddings about "honoring the rights granted and protected by this marriage" and there's some white american cishet couple on the stage who have already gotten married and are just renewing their vows for proximity to lucy and to say they did it & brag about it

hi!
i made a printable 1-page zine about the great hunger / an gorta mor (which you may know as the "irish famine").
it's an intro to colonialism in ireland, and how forced hunger was a tool of colonialism.
you can download here for $1 or any amount that feels good to you, and then print as many times as you like!

everyone in yellowjackets fandom asking “why does x suddenly believe in the wilderness” or “why doesn’t so and so believe anymore” has clearly never been in a traumatizing religion experiencing faith that fluctuates with every beat of your heart as you try to force the horror of the world to make sense………. belief ebbs and flows like the blood tide yall <3

what if you were just a mid player on a girls' soccer team and your plane to nationals crashed in the woods and then you started hallucinating blood dripping down the walls and you ate your team captain and a twelve-year-old boy to survive and when winter ends your mortal enemy who also beat the priestess of your new religion half to death spits in your soup and forces you to eat it and then you fell into a pit and got kidnapped by your assistant soccer coach and when he lets you go (after you pepper spray yourself) you watch him be put on trial, tortured and euthanized, and then you have to eat his flesh and you realize you do want to go home, actually, and drink a slurpee from 7-11 but in order to search for rescue you have to stage one last hunt and you fall into the SAME FUCKING PIT and bleed to death impaled on spikes despite being the funniest bitch around and a hater through it all? happened to my good friend mari yellowjackets

imagine complaining that a real life lesbian's album about her real life committed relationship with another woman, encompassing all the forms of love she feels for her partner, from initial crush to physical attraction to tender love and the hope of growing old together, doesn't encompass the full spectrum of queerness and lesbian relationships that exist in the world and isn't explicit enough about the gay sex they are having. THE CUTESY UNTHREATENINGLY DESEXUALIZED WAY LESBIAN CULTURE HAS BEEN COMMODIFIED IN THE MAINSTREAM???? she's a REAL LESBIAN writing about her OWN LIFE??? just say you hate women and gay people and hold them to impossible standards and expect them to be some Perfect Flawless #representation for every single person in the queer community
