My Elsanna Haven

this can’t be real

He put them together at the kids table that doesn’t exist I’m fucking crying

its easy to make fun of this (and i think we should) but its also important to note the description of this new department that trump has given

[transcript: "together, these two wonderful americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies - essential to the 'save america' movement," trump wrote. "i look forward to elon and vivek making changes to the federal bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all americans."]

to be clear: trump is planning to create a new department whose purpose is literally to deregulate and defund government oversight. this will lead to corporations having greater freedom to fuck over consumers while making more money, and he is putting two billionaires in charge of it.

sure, maybe this is just a ploy to keep them quiet. giving them the illusion of power in exchange for backing him. but lets not forget all the regulations trump cut during his last term

which has directly led to the constant recalls of consumer goods and foodstuffs over the past several years. the recent e coli outbreak at mcdonalds? the boars head listeria recall? these are the products of deregulation. getting rid of laws and standards that protect consumers by making sure money hungry corporations dont cut corners.

the funny name is a smokescreen. keep your eye on these fuckers.

Enough psychoanalysing why people have kinks. We need to psycholanalyse why they don't. Like you don't enjoy getting tied up? Clearly your tumultuous upbringing has given you a patholgical need to be in control at all times. Don't like fauxcest? That's because your petite-bourgeois class background means you view the nuclear family as a pure and sacred institution, automatically reviling anything that undermines or subverts this. Not into piss? That's easy; you're scared of the piss gnomes

This post has recently made its way into some radfem circle or another, which is really great because they've been saying very entertaining shit in the reblogs. Like this person who tried to pwn me with an epic zinger

Or the "feminist" who sees it fitting to talk like a Gamergater

And the absolute genius who seems to think that someone making a joke post about something automatically means they genuinely partake in it (with their love for nonsensical and reactionary sexual terminology providing additional evidence of deep and nuanced thinking)

Like I think this sort of response provides an insight into how viciously reactionary the sexual politics of these people are, flying into an indignant fury at the mere suggestion that contemporary normative sexual values are not automatically the "healthy" and "natural" state of all sexuality. There's such an underlying rage and insecurity that an obvious joke has them talking like this; they either got too mad to reach the punchline or they're genuinely scared of the Piss Gnomes. These Rad-Fem responses reveal much more about them then it does the thing they're responding to

But all that aside, this is also just funny to me. Like Tumblr is great because its crop of open reactionaries are all so insanely stupid and pathetic. Their love of empty posturing and meaningless words makes it feel more like I'm trying to communicate with a Spore creature than with another sapient human being. So attempts to threaten and harass just turn into free entertainment. It's not high quality of course, but I guess you get what you pay for

I have few to no kinks because I have striven to live a pure life and look at the specific proper purposes of sex with clear eyes. I have worked to eliminate atavisms and disordered desires, the results of original sin, from my mind.

My upbringing as a human being, a child and creation of God, has lead to me to recognize what the acceptable category of family relations is and to regard proper family relations (which include but are not exclusively the nuclear family) as pure and scared institutions, recognizing their creation by God.

I have certainly had no interest in polluting my body with harmful excrement which God has given those who have not corrupted themselves a correct and beneficial revulsion for.

INFINITE JAGUAR ATTACK ON YOU FOR ETERNITY

TERESA ANN SAVOY and MALCOLM MCDOWELL as DRUSILLA and CALIGULA in CALIGULA (1979)

on the set of Caligula (1979)

I saw Caligula: The Ultimate Cut and honestly now I get why Peter O'Toole was so disgusted by Troy like sorry I played a deranged emperor presiding over a three-story orgy tower in 1976 your piddling noncommittal movie doesn't impress me

While trying to find Chekov Bones stops to do some awesome doctoring 

My favourite thing is that Bones clearly doesn’t give a crap about the timeline when there are patients involved. My second favourite is that he habitually carries around pills that regrow organs.

this scene sort of implies that they’re a standard part of a starfleet med kit which. kind of tracks when you remember the amount of weird alien stuff they were drinking and eating all the time.

"i can fix him" ok well i can make him scared of me and hard
