People talk a lot about the pipeline between the 2000s-era ‘nu-atheist’ movement and alt-right fascism, and for good reason, but there needs to be more attention paid to the pipeline between hippy-dippy crystal-and-moonbeams credulous New Agers and far-right conspiracy-theorist loons, because honestly I’ve encountered a lot more of those people in the past little while.
Or, for that matter, the pipeline between mainstream fucking religions and fascism, because I would guess that that’s probably commonest of all.
You can say Christianity, it’s ok.
Except I don’t actually just mean Christianity. Maybe in America and Europe, sure; but in India, the pathway is from Hinduism; in Turkey, Erdogan legitimises his regime through Islam, just as Netanyahu uses Judaism in Israel, and in Burma, they use Buddhism. No one has a monopoly on this.
the true danger of fascism is that it can arise from any culture, under any political or theological circumstances, and thus requires diligence and clarity of purpose to combat.
NEVER FORGET
Yeah, all these takes that present the place people start from as some kind of determining factor in their eventual turn to fascism are so shallow, always anecdotal, completely ignoring cultural and social factors, economic forces, life experiences…
Blaming fascism on shit like astrology is the political equivalent of blaming school shootings on Marliyn Manson.
It’s not about that though. Discussing the backgrounds a lot of fascists seem to come from matters because it points to recruiting grounds where fascists are being particularly successful through strategic infiltration.
And while Marilyn Manson music isn’t a real recruiting group for mass shooters nu-atheist and new age spaces are definitely both recruiting grounds where fascists deliberately operate, and understanding how and why is important.
For recruitment, fascists need some material to work with (a largely white audience + a sense of superiority often works well) and they need their narrative to be tolerated enough to not get them punched in the face.
We’ve seen this very clearly in alternative music scenes. Although punk started as a queer POC dominated genre, it got a largely white audience after The Sex Pistols, and fascists were drawn to the scene because they thought their narrative would be tolerated among all the violent aesthetics. They were wrong. Again and again fascists got their asses kicked by punks and as a result they largely abandoned punk.
The next white-dominated genre with a violent aesthetics was metal. Metal had an ‘anything goes here’ mentality and fascists took full advantage of that. And the metal scene largely didn’t kick them out which is why the nazi metal scene became huge, nazi metal bands were able to play at big festivals and they actively recruit there.
Look at other recruiting grounds and you’ll see similar dynamics.
Fascists successfully recruit in new-atheist circles because an anti-religious mentality combined with a sense of superiority can easily be targeted against religious minorities and combined with a sense of white superiority.
Fascists successfully recruit in white-conservative Christian circles because white supremacy and hating minorities has deep roots there. When we try to understand this process, it also helps to be specific. They’re not that likely to be successful among say, Jehova’s Witnesses or Quakers, and there are good reasons for that.
Fascists successfully recruit in hippy new age spaces because there too you have a largely white audience with a sense of superiority, which isn’t likely to punch anyone in the face because that’s just bad vibes man. And so fascist recruiters flourish. At the intersection of new age nature religions and metal, you’ll find Odinist fascists recruiting people by presenting their all-white conservative-gender-roles version of ‘Nordic’ religions are the real thing.
Why does talking about this matter? Because when you identify it, you can organize against it. More and more metal fans are organizing against nazis in the metal scene, calling on festivals to boycot nazi bands. More and more pagans are organizing against fascists in pagan spaces.
Hippy-dippy New Agers don’t have a great track record on fighting bigotry in their spaces but they can do it too if they’re ready to speak up, organize, distribute information about how fascist recruiting works and commit to making their spaces fascist free. But it starts by recognizing the problem.
Finally:
In this context talking about ‘mainstream religions’ instead of specifying why specific subcultures within specific religions are effective recruiting grounds is unhelpful because it stops us from understanding the recruitment process, and just plain shitty because it lumps together fascist with their victims.

okay so are we going to acknowledge that kylo ren was given a redemption arc without ever really knowing or caring that he was objectively in the wrong? his reasoning for not killing palpatine was literally that he still wanted to have some weird co-dictator relationship with rey. the only reason he helps her is because she said she wanted to “take ben’s hand, not kylo’s” which is a whole other thing but somehow that is supposed to make me believe that the guy who actively murdered entire planets full of people and was complicit in the creation of an army of child soldiers deserves a respectable death in the arms of the trilogy’s heroine? no
Kylo’s redemption is very much like Vader’s. Neither of them are particularly moral or ideological. Neither of them seem to be forced to face the fact that what they’ve been doing is wrong. Both of them turn entirely because otherwise they will lose someone they love.
Kylo is never held to account for escalating the FO’s child kidnapping policy, or any of the other things the FO got up to under his command. But equally, Vader was never held to account for his years of being the Emperor’s enforcer.
I think we’re supposed to believe that them being capable of sacrificial love is enough to make them redeemed.

You know what’s one of the worst things about TROS deciding last minute to change Poe’s backstory into having a history of spice running, other then all the super obvious to anyone (Abrams) racist crap associated with it? On a story level, with what’s been established about the world and Poe’s place in it, abilities like hotwiring a speeder and knowing how to light-speed jump are two skills I would almost automatically accept he would have because he’s in the Goddamn Resistance against tyrannical genocidal maniacs that can destroy entire planets, and it’s been explicitly stated he’s had formal training as a pilot in the New Republic Navy. Lockpicking and hotwiring are two skills I would personal hold up to be very important for any member of the Resistance to have, especially those members I’m sending out on dangerous missions where they may have to make sudden and spontaneous escapes from, and the idea of light-speed jumping is something I would totally believe the Navy would teach their pilots as a ‘last resort’ maneuver if their in a life-or-death situation. There’s solid explanations for both of these that don’t need to relate to spice running at all.
But also, the simple fact that if it had been Rey performing these acts, not a single character would have said a damn thing about it, or called it ‘shifty behavior’, and we all damn well know why.
Look, it’s been two years and I’m still not entirely over the fact that a former guerilla would have taught his son how to sew. It’s a survival skill.

Warlock becomes a stand up comedian when he grows up. He becomes the John Mulaney of his time. This is his equivalent of “one black coffee”.
I can totally envision Warlock’s version of the duck story!
One day when I was ten, the gardener comes into the house soaking wet and says, in that voice one usually reserves for toddlers or small animals, “Ah! One feels like a duck splashing around in all this wet! And when one feels like a duck, one is happy!” And then Nanny yelled, “Ooh, ducklings!” To which the gardener replied, “Too old to be a duckling. Quack, quack.” And then walked into the kitchen. I think about that every goddamn day.

We see the golden arches. And we got so excited. We started chanting, “McDonald’s! McDonald’s! McDonald’s! McDonald’s!” And my nanny pulled into the drive-thru, and we started cheering. And then, she ordered one black coffee for herself.” - Warlock Dowling

From the beginning of the movie, they sit so close with each other, like, literally there is no space between them despite them being in space lmao
The lingering touch, they want to touch each other whenever they can and as long as possible that it doesn’t look weird to other or even to themselves
The jealousy that they are not even aware that it’s there, the way Poe just abruptly cutting the moment Rey have with Finn because he doesn’t want to hear that bitter truth that the man he loves want to tell someone else that he is in love with her (though Finn was actually want to tell something else, lmao Poe was so paranoid, he was both scared and damn curious about what Finn want to tell Rey)
Poe is so in love with Finn and he can’t hide it anymore, I feel so sorry for my boy because he doesn’t has courage to tell finn yet about what he feel for him or thinks that his love will not return since he seems to think that Finn is in love with Rey but despite all of it, he is so glad to see Finn and wants him in his embrace.
Especially when Poe hugged finn the second time with Rey, Poe kissed his shoulder/neck and probably though that Finn won’t realize about it and just let himself consume the moment that he has, doesn’t matter for Poe who Finn loves at this point, all he knows is, that he loves finn with all his heart and he is glad that Finn is alive and it’s enough for him. His love for finn is pure and he is ready to just love him without even hoping for Finn to love him back, as long as the man he love is happy, then he is more than happy himself too.
(Also can I point out about Rey’s eyes everytime Poe and Finn are having their moments, it seems like she knew and amuse of it.)
Despite not getting the canon Finnpoe I think their storyline has an open ending where possibilities can still happen where they can make this relationship work, clear up a few misunderstandings, Finn come to the realization about what he feels for Poe and Rey is different kind of love. And for this all finnpoe content that we get, I think we have oscar to thank for, he keeps giving his all about his character and how it links with Finn’s story.
(Also even after this post I still have finnpoe moment to share
the co-general one (Finn was the one in this scene who touch Poe’s chest when he called him general, proofing more point that they just like to touch each other), the way they rush toward each other and meet in the middle. So damn adorable.
The binoculars scene (the way finn just gave the binoculars to poe it’s cute, okay?)
Arguing even in the face of death with Hux scene,
The perfect team work when they fight the stormtroopers with Finn throwing the rope and Poe just understand what to do next to blow them up.

Now, keep in mind: there was no internet to search for images. She could not have rented and paused the movie, because it wasn’t released on video until 1982. No, TJ just went to the movie a bunch of times, took notes with a flashlight, drew a bunch of sketches, and put this together.

Legolas pretty quickly gets in the habit of venting about his travelling companions in Elvish, so long as Gandalf & Aragorn aren’t in earshot they’ll never know right?
Then about a week into their journey like
Legolas: *in Elvish, for approximately the 20th time* ugh fucking hobbits, so annoying
Frodo: *also in Elvish, deadpan* yeah we’re the worst
Legolas:
~*~earlier~*~
Legolas: ugh fucking hobbits
Merry: Frodo what’d he say
Frodo: I’m not sure he speaks a weird dialect but I think he’s insulting us. I should tell him I can understand Elvish
Merry: I mean you could do that but consider
Merry: you can only tell him ONCE
Frodo: Merry. You’re absolutely right. I’ll wait.
#legolas’ hick accent vs #frodo’s ‘i learned it out of a book’ accent #FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Legolas: umm well your accent is horrible
Aragorn: *hollering from a distance* HIS ACCENT IS BETTER THAN YOURS LEGOLAS YOU SILVAN HICK
Frodo: :)
Frodo: Hello. My name is Frodo. I am a Hobbit. How are you?
Legolas: y’alld’ve’ff’ve
Frodo, crying: please I can’t understand what you’r saying
Ok, but Frodo didn’t just learn out of a book. He learned like… Chaucerian Elvish. So actually:
Frodo: Good morrow to thee, frend. I hope we twain shalle bee moste excellente companions.
Legolas: Wots that mate? ‘Ere, you avin’ a giggle? Fookin’ ‘obbits, I sware.
Aragorn: *laughing too hard to walk*
ghostriderofthearagon
dYinGggGggg…
i mean, honestly it’s amazing the Elves had as many languages and dialects as they did, considering Galadriel (for example) is over seven thousand years old.
english would probably have changed less since Chaucer’s time, if a lot of our cultural leaders from the thirteenth century were still alive and running things.
they’ve had like. seven generations since the sun happened, max. frodo’s books are old to him, but outside any very old poetry copied down exactly, the dialect represented in them isn’t likely to be older than the Second Age, wherein Aragorn’s foster-father Elrond started out as a very young adult and grew into himself, and Legolas’ father was born.
so like, three to six thousand years old, maybe, which is probably a drop in the bucket of Elvish history judging by all the ethnic differentiation that had time to develop before Ungoliant came along, even if we can’t really tell because there weren’t years to count, before the Trees were destroyed.
plus a lot of Bilbo’s materials were probably directly from Elrond, whose library dates largely from the Third Age, probably, because he didn’t establish Imladris until after the Last Alliance. and Elrond isn’t the type to intentionally help Bilbo learn the wrong dialect and sound sillier than can be helped, even if everyone was humoring him more than a little.
so Frodo might sound hilariously formal for conversational use (though considering how most Elves use Westron he’s probably safe there) and kind of old-fashioned, but he’s not in any danger of being incomprehensible, because elves live on such a ridiculous timescale.
to over-analyse this awesome and hilarious post even more, legolas’ grandfather was from linguistically stubborn Doriath and their family is actually from a somewhat different, higher-status ethnic background than their subjects.
so depending on how much of a role Thranduil took in his upbringing (and Oropher in his), Legolas may have some weird stilted old-fashioned speaking tics in his Sindarin that reflect a more purely Doriathrin dialect rather than the Doriathrin-influenced Western Sindarin that became the most widely spoken Sindarin long before he was born, or he might have a School Voice from having been taught how to Speak Proper and then lapse into really obscure colloquial Avari dialect when he’s being casual. or both!
considering legolas’ moderately complicated political position, i expect he can code-switch.
…it’s also fairly likely considering the linguistic politics involved that Legolas is reasonably articulate in Sindarin, though with some level of accent, but knows approximately zero Quenya outside of loanwords into Sindarin, and even those he mostly didn’t learn as a kid.
which would be extra hilarious when he and gimli fetch up in Valinor in his little homemade skiff, if the first elves he meets have never been to Middle Earth and they’re just standing there on the beach reduced to miming about what is the short beard person, and who are you, and why.
this is elvish dialects and tolkien, okay. there’s a lot of canon material! he actually initially developed the history of middle-earth specifically to ground the linguistic development of the various Elvish languages!
Legolas: Alas, verily would I have dispatched thine enemy posthaste, but y’all’d’ve pitched a feckin’ fit.
Aragorn: *eyelid twitching*
Frodo: *frantically scribbling* Hang on which language are you even speaking right now
Pippin, confused: Is he not speaking Elvish?
Frodo, sarcastically: I dunno, are you speaking Hobbit?
Boromir, who has been lowkey pissed-off at the Hobbits’ weird dialect this whole time: That’s what it sounds like to me.
Merry, who actually knows some shit about Hobbit background: We are actually speaking multiple variants of the Shire dialect of Westron, you ignorant fuck.
Sam, a mere working-class country boy: Honestly y'all could be talkin Dwarvish half the time for all I know.
Pippin, entering Gondor and speaking to the castle steward: hey yo my man
Boromir, from beyond the grave: j e s u s
Tolkien would be SO PROUD of this post

If I remember correctly, in the “tree of tongues” material from The Lost Road, Tolkien goes into some detail about how the reason elves have so many dialects is that elves view language as a form of collaborative art, which they delight in, so a newly-coined word or grammatical construct gets spread around just like a new song would.
Elves may be immortal, but they’re also immortal nerd OCs and we must never forget this

So what you’re saying is, they’re us. They’re the internet. Sending “yeet” and “smol” and “I lik the bred” all over creation until two elves who’ve never met in their lives and be like “beans, amirite?” and “yeah I love kitter feets too.”

Legolas pretty quickly gets in the habit of venting about his travelling companions in Elvish, so long as Gandalf & Aragorn aren’t in earshot they’ll never know right?
Then about a week into their journey like
Legolas: *in Elvish, for approximately the 20th time* ugh fucking hobbits, so annoying
Frodo: *also in Elvish, deadpan* yeah we’re the worst
Legolas:
~*~earlier~*~
Legolas: ugh fucking hobbits
Merry: Frodo what’d he say
Frodo: I’m not sure he speaks a weird dialect but I think he’s insulting us. I should tell him I can understand Elvish
Merry: I mean you could do that but consider
Merry: you can only tell him ONCE
Frodo: Merry. You’re absolutely right. I’ll wait.
#legolas’ hick accent vs #frodo’s ‘i learned it out of a book’ accent #FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Legolas: umm well your accent is horrible
Aragorn: *hollering from a distance* HIS ACCENT IS BETTER THAN YOURS LEGOLAS YOU SILVAN HICK
Frodo: :)
Frodo: Hello. My name is Frodo. I am a Hobbit. How are you?
Legolas: y’alld’ve’ff’ve
Frodo, crying: please I can’t understand what you’r saying
Ok, but Frodo didn’t just learn out of a book. He learned like… Chaucerian Elvish. So actually:
Frodo: Good morrow to thee, frend. I hope we twain shalle bee moste excellente companions.
Legolas: Wots that mate? ‘Ere, you avin’ a giggle? Fookin’ ‘obbits, I sware.
Aragorn: *laughing too hard to walk*
ghostriderofthearagondYinGggGggg…
i mean, honestly it’s amazing the Elves had as many languages and dialects as they did, considering Galadriel (for example) is over seven thousand years old.
english would probably have changed less since Chaucer’s time, if a lot of our cultural leaders from the thirteenth century were still alive and running things.
they’ve had like. seven generations since the sun happened, max. frodo’s books are old to him, but outside any very old poetry copied down exactly, the dialect represented in them isn’t likely to be older than the Second Age, wherein Aragorn’s foster-father Elrond started out as a very young adult and grew into himself, and Legolas’ father was born.
so like, three to six thousand years old, maybe, which is probably a drop in the bucket of Elvish history judging by all the ethnic differentiation that had time to develop before Ungoliant came along, even if we can’t really tell because there weren’t years to count, before the Trees were destroyed.

the whole quote is very heartwarming:
“And we are not the only animal that has to teach our young. Old lobsters show their migration routes to young ones by holding claws, the way we hold hands, and walking the long miles together. A kitten without a mother to teach her may not ever learn to hunt small mammals. Such cats will let mice run all over them—though once they are shown, they never forget. A bee coming home from her first pollen run will be stroked all over by the other bees in praise and encouragement, even though she’s probably carrying only one-tenth of what she will learn to in a few weeks. Beavers held in captivity without flowing water don’t know how to make dams—that knowledge was passed down through the generations until humans interrupted their process of enculturation.”

From Twitter.
is it weird that as i got through the tweet my understanding of it lessens?
If you had a recent ancestor who went through starvation it actually altered their genetics and may have passed down genes to you that make you hold on to fat. So this tweet is more accurate than you’d think.
More on that.
Seriously, my body is expecting the next ice age.
OH MY FUCKING GOD.
MY FUCKING GREAT GRANDFATHER LITERALLY FLED LEBANON DUE TO A FUCKING FAMINE AND MY GRANDMOTHER AND DAD AND I ARE ALL FAT AS FUCKING HELL.
FUCK ME RUNNING I DID NOT KNOW THIS.
…That’s going to apply also to anyone whose recent ancestors voluntarily dieted a lot, isn’t it. Diet culture long-term causes more obesity. Sure, it takes decades to show up, but anything you’d hear today about childhood obesity would reflect that. Exercising is still very good for most people, but trying to lose weight shouldn’t be the goal for most people, because a) it usually doesn’t work very well or it comes back and b) your kids or grandkids could end up with extra wonky metabolisms. (And while fat itself is actually not that much of a problem if you keep your fitness up, it can be hard on your joints. That’s actually the biggest health risk if you’re “small end of fat,” under 40, and active–joint problems.)
THAT MOTHERFUCKING ARTIFICIAL FAMINE THAT’S IT I’M GONNA FIGHT THE ENGLISH
Honestly, “I’m gonna fight the English” is a good reaction to a lot of things.
the ‘obesity epidemic’ in america is probably due to a combo of our grandparents living through the great depression and our parents being teens and young adults during the days of twiggy and heroin chic and the rise of diet culture.
combine that with the fact that gen x was the last generation allowed to play outside, pretty much, and the fact that everybody nowdays is working service jobs that exhaust them without working their muscles, and there is basically no way on earth you’re going to get a fit and healthy population without changing the basic structure of our society.
don’t fall for the hype. don’t focus on weight. it’s actually far more dangerous to be underweight than overweight. even with what is clinically defined as ‘morbid obesity’ it’s possible to be healthy as a horse, if your bone structure and metabolism are set up for it and you’ve got lots of muscle to support it.
on top of that, the charts for ideal weight are at least a generation out of date. they were compiled based on a population that didn’t regularly get enough dairy and fresh produce, at a time when girls didn’t do athletics in school. young women in the 1960′s were measurably smaller than young women today. their bones were thinner, they had less muscle mass, their shoulders were more sloped, they had a smaller lung capacity – society discouraged them from being physically active past the age of ten or twelve, and they finished their physical development in a sedentary setting.
boys were plenty active, but just like the girls, they were eating just about nothing but red meat and starch and some mushy greens with the vitamins boiled out. the thing where the poor get fat because sugar and fat are cheap wasn’t really happening yet, especially in rural areas; a farm kid’s diet was beef and wheat in the north, pork and corn in the south. “eat your vegetables” was such a hard sell because everything else was expensive and bland and overcooked. you’ve seen the godawful cookbook excerpts from that time. mushy green beans and fried spam on a bed of mashed potatoes, seasoned with nothing but a pinch of white pepper.
sorry, that was kind of a tangent. i guess my point is, even the people who ate well by the standards of the time were malnourished compared to the standard of today. your lunch of a matcha cucumber smoothie and a cobb salad with one ounce of ham, one ounce of turkey, and 15 kinds of fresh vegetable, would give them the explosive shits because they’ve never had that much fiber in one place before. there’s more vitamins and antioxidants in your black bean fajita dinner than they saw in a week.
so first of all, the idea of trying to be the same size and shape they were is absurd.
and second, if malnourishment in one generation primes the next two for protective fat retention, the combination of that and the incredible wealth of nutrition we have available to us today is obviously going to make us HYUGE.
instead of fighting it, we should embrace it. we could all be HUMAN BOULDERS OF MIGHT.

Is anyone is in the mood for some feel-good, happy-ending Star Wars fic of people from very different lives, who love each other deeply, trying to work out their differences? Well, that’s what I wrote in Happily Ever After, a gingerpilot fic set after The Last Jedi. Peace was brought to the galaxy (events for that can be found in the larger Grey Order saga) and Hux and Poe get married and spend their honeymoon at Poe’s family’s place on Yavin IV. They have a lot to work out between them, but I promise a satisfying, hopeful, conclusive ending! (the fic is complete)
Transitioning to civilian life is a huge upheaval for anyone in the military. Add on moving from single to married. Add on moving into a totally different culture for Hux. Add on years of unaddressed, repressed trauma, also on Hux’s part. Add on a helpfully interfering Force sensitive tree. And then there’s Kes, Poe’s father, who hates the Empire, the dark side, and anything that looks like either of those … like Hux … who has married Kes’ son, so he’s got to get over himself.
It’s not the usual recipe for happily ever after, but by the Force, Poe and Hux will make it work!
Artwork by the incrediblequeenstardust of a particular halcyon scene in chapter 21. She did such a fantastic job of capturing everything I wanted in it: how relaxed they are with each other, casual and happy. I’m thrilled with it!

Not sure if this has been done, but I thought of a Light Side AU where the ship Hux was in had an accident and crashed, leaving him the only survivor. It’s implied that he was still abused like in canon by his father. He was found and rescued, taken in to be raised by the resistance and meets Ben and Pharma.
Hux is intelligent for his age and enjoys inventing new things and tinkering. He grows up to eventually become General Leia’s SIC. Ben is still a moody boy, but more stable and continues his Jedi training. Pharma remains a badass lady who becomes Captain and deals with both Hux and Ben (mostly Ben’s) shenanigans.

well the funny thing is that the separation between women who were only attracted to other women and women who were attracted to women and other genders wasn’t really a point of focus until the rise of lesbian separatism and identity politics.
lesbian and sapphic were terms that mainly referred to women who slept with women and that was it. before lesbian and sapphic, “tribade” was the word of choice during the 1600s to the 1800s, and it came from the word “tribadism” which literally means scissoring, i.e. the sexual act. so tribade, lesbian, and sapphic weren’t really identities so much as they described women who had sex with and had relationships with other women. there was no distinction besides that.
the first time bisexual was used was in Charles Gilbert Chaddock’s translation of Psychopathia Sexualis which was one of the first books written on sexual pathology in the 1800s. before this, bisexual was usually used to mean hermaphroditic, usually in reference to plants. this was the first time the word was used in reference to people who were attracted to multiple genders. this wasn’t an identity yet. bi/lesbian women were always in a shared community and they organized and convened under “lesbian.” before the 60s, when studies were talking about lesbians, they usually meant all sapphic women. and of course when butch/femme started cropping up in gay bars circa the 50s and 60s, bi women were at those bars, in those spaces, using those words.
it wasn’t until monsters like sheila jeffreys and all the other cis white female lesbian separatists popped up in the 70s and coined the term “political lesbian,” i.e. women who don’t fuck or fuck with men. it was seen as necessary for women to only engage with women who have cut all their ties to male privilege. this included cutting out bi women (bc they fucked men), trans women (bc they were thought to still be men), queer women of color (bc of their activist work with men of color and their inability to exclude men from their politics), and a whole other slew of marginalized identities.
((and for a quick bit of irony: lesbian separatists often critiqued the use of femme/butch by lesbians as well because they felt it was a symbol of oppressive patriarchal standards and a way of replicating heterosexuality)).
so of course right around when the stonewall riots were going on, bi groups started appearing because they were effectively shut out of both gay and straight communities. LGB created the distinction between lesbians and bi people. and if you skip to now, whenever people do research on the history of lesbian identities, they read “lesbian” as “women who are only attracted to women” and assume that bi women are excluded from that history when in actual fact they were right smack in the middle of it the entire time. that’s where people on tumblr get mad at bi women for “co-opting lesbian terms” and “stealing from lesbian history.”
doe/stag were coined as a way to mirror femme/butch because bi women erroneously think that femme/butch are not part of their history. the fact that bi women feel the need to come up with/use doe/stag and steer away from butch/femme is the exact kind of thing TERFs and lesbian separatists wanted to accomplish in the first place. they wanted to treat bi women like traitors who would not relinquish their heterosexual privilege and thus posed a threat to lesbians everywhere (which, needless to say, is horse shit).
so all that to say, it’s not better for bi people to come up with their own terms because butch/femme were terms used by bi women since their inception. you don’t have to feel like you can’t use those words as if they’re not yours because they are yours and they are a part of your history. anyone who attempts to make bi women feel guilty or wrong for identifying as butch/femme are likely regurgitating TERFy rhetoric they’ve found floating around the internet without realizing it.

GENERAL PRYDE
A veteran of the Imperial military, Allegiant General Pryde has patiently bided his time for decades, waiting for the authoritarian grip of order to return to the galaxy. He was part of a second wave of leadership kept in reserve by Supreme Leader Snoke during the unveiling of the Starkiller. After Snoke’s demise, Pryde is left as one of the most senior officers in the First Order High Command. It is a privileged position, for Pryde knows far more about Snoke and the late Palpatine’s machinations than many of his cohorts, and uses such insights to cement his own power.

TIMELINE
61 BSI Born on Alsakan
45 BSI [age 16] Advanced Placement in Alsakan Academy
40 BSI [age 21] Posting aboard Star Destroyer Steadfast
29 BSI [age 32] Steadfast destroyed in Battle of Jakku; Pryde flees into Unknown Regions
6 BSI [age 55] Snoke issues Pryde command of new Star Destroyer, named Steadfast in honor of his old vessel
0.5 ASI [age 62] Kylo Ren transfers his command to Steadfast
[Pryde’s homeworld, Alsakan, was described in the EU as a Core World that rivalled Coruscant; the planet’s entire surface was covered with a single worldwide city.]
Having roughed it in the galactic wilderness since the disastrous rout of Jakku, Pryde longs to return to the trappings of the “High Human” culture and civilization that once encased Coruscant. He wistfully recalls the pageantry and splendor of Empire Day parades of years past.

MILITARY TRADITION
Pryde’s ideology allows him to tolerate the more macabre aspects of the First Order, which he would ordinarily disdain. While the mysticism of Snoke and Ren are alien to him — as are the arcane rituals of the Sith Eternal cult on Exegol — he accepts them as the eccentric by-products of a hunger for power. He knows this spiritual undercurrent dates back to the Galactic Empire, for when he was a young fleet officer he personally witnessed Darth Vader in action. Unlike less prudent military careerists, he knows better than to openly disrespect these beliefs. Pryde focuses instead on the material benefits they offer to the military.

This happens way too much for me now but all I can do is smile and nod because if I say something I’m automatically a sjw and my words are dismissed.
A German book about racism (called Exit Racism) addresses this and calls it „leaving wonderland“, you will probably never be able to go back there, which is hurtful but also an important.

Thor and Steve regularly go out and commit petty crime in front of police officers just for the laughs because like what the hell are they gonna do??? Arrest a norse god??? Put a living legend in handcuffs??? I don’t think so lol Thor take off your pants in front of that cop and see what he does. FUCK da police.
Steve Rogers is a good boy and I will swing on those who say he would commit ANY crime no matter how small
He literally committed a felony in the first 10 minutes of CATFA.
One of the reasons I love Steve Rogers is because he’s always a slut for treason.
Steve Rogers would never commit petty crimes because he only commits capital crimes
Steve Rogers would totally commit petty crimes if he thought the law was unjust. Watch Steve Rogers remove anti-homeless bars. Watch a Steve Rogers give out food for free that was supposed to be thrown away. Watch Steve Rogers be in a park open “from dawn to dusk” after dark because “it’s a stupid fucking rule, Buck.”
Steve Roger hasn’t been putting the “riot” in “patriot” for y’all to call him a lawful good

No matter how much you plan and research and think about a historical sewing project, you’ll always understand the garment better once you’ve had a go at actually making it.
Yes! This! Vincent here showing us the facts.
Basically that’s why I cannot finish a suit I started YEARS ago. Every time I think I know what to do, in practice is not the right thing u.u BUT it’s also what have happened when I see something (especially) from Patterns of Fashion: it seems very complicated and odd but then while sewing IT ALL MAKES SENSE while previous projects help to know what is next.

“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”
— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972
Note the date, people:
That’s 1972
29 years before AVEN was started online,
and 47 years before the present.
And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.
So, no: we are not just Tumblr trenders. Get out of here with that.
Also note how this clearly states that the words asexual was chosen specifically because others words implied that sexuality was bad or that the person might have made a “superior” choice in giving it up, and that IS NOT part of being asexual.
Associating sexuality and sexual attraction to something bad has never been inherently part of asexuality unlike what aphobic people on here keep saying. It has always been their own internal shame and issues about sex that they keep projecting on to us.

Exactly! As much as Hux dislikes Kylo and wants to rule the Order for himself, would he really put all of that on the line to spite Kylo? He’s smart, did he really think that he was going to get away with being a spy? If he wanted Kylo to lose, surely he’d try to start a coup first? He must have loyal officers!
Anyway, we’re ignoring Hux’s death in TROS so it doesn’t matter! ❤

Inconsistent writing is the very least of what happens when you acquire a massive franchise, immediately want to make a trilogy… but then throw out the original creator’s outlines for said trilogy, don’t even bother with outlining a set path for the trilogy that’s now going to 100% be your own, fast track the production of all three movies via cutting away that “pesky” extra year of planning and pre-production, have a man who admits that he’s “not good at endings” do the first movie, then hire a man who has no kind of experience making a major franchise film and has been vocal about wanting “to do his own thing, regards of how the audience might react” in the past do the second one and then when that –Surprise surprise– doesn’t turn out well bring the first guy back to make the final film and dump a now horribly messy story on his lap and just hope for the best!
I realize that George Lucas was not perfect as a storyteller either: He had his blind spots, bouts of eccentricity and just could not leave finished films alone… BUT! He was a man with a vision of the story that he wanted to tell. Yes, sometimes the specifics of how that story actually happened changed, but above-all, the end product still hit the same broad beats that he originally outlined.
Disney –A company world renowned for its storytelling skill in film for nearly a century– did not set out to do that. They set out to make a profit on their newest investment as soon as they possibly could and boy oh boy, does it ever show!
