Hey! Bi People’s Terms Need More Recognition!

most damaging idea of the 21st century: the conviction of vast numbers of people that human history will end within our lifetimes

climate change represents world-altering tragedy if unchecked, but not even in the worst-case scenario does it mean “literally everyone dies”

yet so many people have jumped already to “it’s over, the world is going to end, we can do nothing about it” and are just paralyzingly cynical. How do I explain that the power to imagine a future is essential for creating it

He seemed really sweet and was a wonderful actor. Rest In Peace.

rest in peace, the boy with the biggest heart

The way Ryoko Kui draws women, yes, absolutely, I completely agree, phenomenal, but can we talk about the way she drew the winged lion.

On the Collapse of HBO Max and the Importance of Physical Media

https://www.slashfilm.com/612335/best-movies-of-2021/

This article is a great articulation of a problem I have noticed increasingly over the past couple of years.  As more and more movies and shows simply are not released on physical media, I’ve waited for something like the collapse of HBO Max to highlight a huge problem: we are no longer able to own our entertainment.  Streaming is, at its most basic, a rental.  We pay to rent, and that’s if we have a high-quality and stable internet connection.  Those who lack internet are basically shit out of luck for entertainment.

And more than that, when a streaming service suddenly vanishes, or merges with another and does a purge of their shows and movies, those shows and movies simply … vanish.  They no longer exist unless some enterprising individual pirates it.  At that point, the only way to access a piece of art is through illegality.  

And this is why I’ve been so angry about the ‘phasing out’ of physical media.  If I like a show, let me buy the season.  I’m fine paying more for the boxed set of physical media that I then own, no matter what the platform that originally hosted it does after.  Let me take those shows with me even if I go to a place without internet.  Let me get special features and lovingly crafted DVDs that give me behind-the-scenes peeks whenever I want.  Ditching physical media puts us all at the mercy of giant media conglomerates, begging them to let us watch something we have paid for many times over.  And they can take it away whenever they want.  So buy DVDs or Blu-Ray or whatever you like.  But make sure you shore up your collection of the things you love, and never trust a media company.  They’ll drop you the second they feel like they’ve pumped enough money out of you.

oh youre touch starved??? wanna hold hands about it

i’d rather be called a kinkshamer than support pedophillia

you are not a machine. you are more like a garden. you need different things on different days. a little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. you have fallow and fruitful seasons. it is not a design flaw. it is wiser than perpetual sameness. what does your garden need today?

brahms from the boy needs help making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and also his arms are just cloth

(prompted while @gayassflowers and i were watching the movie The Boy and wondered what it would sound like if brahms had porcelain hands and a porcelain torso, but cloth arms with no stuffing, so his hands just flop around when he runs)
