I’ve made plenty of mistakes in my life but at least I never used TikTok and never thought Elon Musk was remotely cool or competent.
WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN HOBBY LOBBY
seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors
I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me
Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.
Left this in the notes
nothing more sobering than realizing you'd been assuming a cover of a song was the original...like oh phew if the wrong person found out about that i couldve been killed
i know everyone loves a 'post-war winnix fic where kitty points out to harry that winnix are a thing because harry's oblivious' but even funnier to me is harry going through a 1940s love is love realisation during the war and then discovering after the war that winnix aren't even together yet.
So I constantly see stuff talking about millennials and their baby boomer parents. But my mom is gen x. So I decided to make a poll

I’ve think I’ve figured it out
I think I know what MDR is doing and what lumon is doing and where this story is going to go
It’s Orpheus and Eurydice. Eurydice dies and goes to hell, Orpheus descends down there and gets the chance to bring her back, but loses her forever because he turns round to look at her.
If mark is Orpheus, and Gemma is Euridyce, and the severed floor is hell, that means that by going down there as a severed employee Mark got a chance to bring Gemma back, but he’s going to lose it by looking back to find her. By reintegrating.
Gemma died. Like actually died. She wasn’t brain dead and intercepted by lumon. She died, mark identified the body. Somewhere between that and the cremation lumon took her.
Lumon is trying to raise the dead, presumably to bring back Kier (who’s body im sure is being preserved in some horrid cult place of worship somewhere in the depths of lumon) and has been pretty successful so far. At getting the body back. The mind is trickier, and that’s what MDR is doing. They’re tidying up brain waves, trying to bring a persons memory and conciousness back.
That’s why the files expire. The person gets too dead, their brain gets too damaged, and there’s no point trying anymore.
Gemma has been the most successful so far. She’s not just physically alive, but her brain is functioning too. Her position as wellness counsellor was an experiment to see how she interacts with other people, to see how well her consciousness is recovering
Coldharbour is her last file. When it’s done, she’ll be completely back and lumon will have successfully brought a dead person fully back to life, a major milestone for them. If it expires, she’ll be gone forever
Mark reintegrated. He’s going to be suspicious of lumon, suspicious of the work, and so caught up in looking for Gemma he won’t finish cold harbour
He looked back. So he’s going to lose her forever
#this is the first theory I've read where I genuinely believe it could be the case#and that kind of wrecks me#but if the writers do it well it could be so insanely good#like I'm thinking#he almost brings her back#but because he looks back#(reintegrates and starts fucking with lumon)#he doesn't finish cold harbor#but I think that could lead to really interesting themes#of like - when did she really die?#when is it acceptable to move on?#could mark have ever really gotten her back?#because if he never rebelled then he'd never even know she was alive#god#eating sheet metal rn (x)
I want everyone to know that there are queers in the hollers of Appalachia, in the bayous and marshland of the Deep South, in Southwestern deserts, through the Ozark mountains and up to the Rockies. There are queers in the Great Plains, there are queers in rural America, in trailer parks of the Osage foothills. In the places you least expect us to live, we are here, carving out community and fighting for liberation with pride despite it all. Stop forgetting about us. Stop overlooking our experiences and our impact just because we don’t live in a Big Gay City. And for the love of God, stop looking at us with pity.
the freedom house history in this week's episode of the pitt was cool as hell and so respectful!!! i'm not american, i had no idea about any of this but i'm going to really read into it now
Well that episode of The Pitt just ripped my heart out
