I'ma just leave these here for like... *Cough* Research purposes and such.

Yknow what I LOVE about the Star Trek fandom? It’s ANCIENT. I had a talk with a nice old lady at the old persons home that my great grandma is in and she noticed my Spock shirt and was like “oh I love that show I thought the premise was lovely” and you all know THE PREMISE is trekspeak for spirk and I was like “do you accept the premise because I do” and she looked at me with the eyes of someone who is reliving their otp moments and she said “the premise is all I wrote about, dear” and we just talked about spirk for a hella long time and I just love how age doesn’t matter in this fandom you can be ninety and still be the biggest spirk bitch ever how rad is that

I was today years old when I learned that particular euphemism

I was also today years old. Fandom codes man

Reblogging to spread knowledge about the Premise, because I absolutely love that bit of fandom, and I want to make sure that it survives. (and yay to everyone who is part of today’s 10,000!)

pretentious moment incoming but why is everyone's idea of fashion so fucking boring these days. why the fuck did my manager just ask me "what's with the scarf". "what's with the scarf" fuck man do I need a reason to wear a faggy little scarf now? you could just say "nice scarf man". what's with your attitude

For those not in the know, Henry Ford was a rampant antisemite and Nazi sympathizer. He published a book entitled 'The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem' in 1920 based on the conspiracy theory known as the protocols of Zion.

Henry Ford is also largely responsible for pioneering the conveyor belt system and setting off the domino chain of industrialization that lead to previously valuable workers being classified as unskilled and replaceable.

He also tried to create some freakish American town in the middle of the Brazilian rainforest literally called Fordlândia in an effort to have his own supply of rubber. His refusal to even attempt to understand local culture and climate caused it to be an unmitigated disaster.

I knew Ford was antisemite because a couple years ago I visited garden of lawyer who sued Ford, but I didn’t realize Ford and Hitler were bffs

it would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. the advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though and their definitions of family and friendly are absolutely fucked. but since they're in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. tiktokers say things like "unalive" and "seggs" because they know death and sex are too adult for online. online is for idiot babies only now because they're easier to market to

oh im sorry you're a trans adult? super ban. you are super banned for life. you have upset Visa's feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. how could you do this to Google Ads?

Republicans and their weak-ass gaslighting.

Good Omens Script Book Deleted Scenes

I have just spent the last 3-4 hours scouring the internet for the 5 deleted scenes that were spread between limited edition copies of the Good Omens script book so I could print them and put them into my signed, 1st edition, copy of the script book.

Through much trial and piecing together pictures of the pages from Google Images, I managed to find and type up all of the scenes. I figured that since I couldn’t find a place with all the deleted scenes in one I may as well share what I wasted 4 hours of my life on for others who care to read the deleted scenes in one place. The only scene I didn’t type up was the 4 Horsemen scene since it’s included in every book. Considering Gaiman himself had assumed that all copies of the book would have all the scenes I don’t feel too bad doing this.

You can read the scenes here:

If the link doesn’t work, please let me know. 

Also, if you find any typos that I missed that doesn’t seem like a Gaiman-esque purposeful typo let me know. 

I’m getting fed up with this whole “feminism as an identity” thing. Time for “feminism as an action.”

So instead of asking “can a feminist do x?” ask “is doing x a feminist action!”

Can a feminist take her husband’s last name? Mu. Null. Question un-valid, please un-ask question.

Is taking your husband’s last name a feminist action? No it isn’t. It doesn’t challenge the patriarchy in anyway, it is the status quo thing to do, it is what is expected of women, and it carries a lot of historical baggage about ownership and shit like that.

But that’s okay, your life choices don’t have to be 100% dictated by your politics unless you want them to. And it’s okay to really want to take his name while recognizing that you also want to do the feminist thing and keep your own, and it’s okay to feel conflicted and have a hard time making the choice. But no more of this enabling “as long as I made the choice myself it is a feminist choice” -bullshit. Own your choices, even the ones that aren’t informed by your feminist politics. You are still a human being and people do shit that contradicts their politics and even interests all the time. Just stop pretending that everything you do is feminist because you are a feminist, that’s not how it works.

^^this is why bell hooks challenges us to say “i support feminist movement” or “i support feminist action” rather than “i am a feminist.” she says that once we say “i am a feminist” and make “feminist” an identity rather than a political movement or a set of beliefs and the actions resulting from those beliefs, we can become complacent and think the battle is over. 

This is an incredibly helpful way of thinking. And oh look, it acknowledges that people can do some progressive things and some regressive things, without BEING, essentially, one or the other. With every action, you are faced anew with the choice: go forward or backward? You are not defined by the things you’ve done in the past; you always have the chance to do better.

Can we please please stop with the attitude that if you’ve messed up once, you’re damned forever? It either makes people complacent, OR it tells people that because they’re not perfect, they should just give up. Or else it motivates people to continually point the finger at other people’s imperfections in the hope of distracting from their own. (Yep, that’s how purity culture works.)

Completely derailing the discussion:

The thing about women's names is, we have a choice between our father's name and our husband's name. We don't have names of our own aside from our first and middle. So which man's name do we choose?

Whoever wrote this, slayed so hard with all these statements, truer words have never been spoken
