Miles de personas sin nichos que limpiar ni flores que depositar porque los cadáveres de sus familiares nunca aparecieron y ni siquiera saben en qué lugar cubre la tierra sus huesos. Honor y gloria

ever think how when we talk about male-centered narratives, some of them can fully exclude women with no issue. but "female centered" a lot of time, includes men, even for some, it *must* include men, because the "female" in question is, "women" as defined by heterosexuality.

Ethically speaking, should men tell women who are concerned by euphemistic blurring of dangerous behaviours like strangulation, which pose inescapable risks (almost always to women) to shut up? One of your boys, @EdwardJDavey You must be very proud
I'm trying to phrase this carefully because I think it would be helpful if Caroline withdrew this particular tweet The implication here is that women's consent, or even their requests, should carry no weight. I think that's quite concerning. Ethically speaking. I have refused

“There’s something about the mindset of really hardcore Star Trek fans that’s very difficult to describe to people who don’t share that fandom….There has never been another television show like Star Trek: The Next Generation, and there might never be one again. It is the greatest TV show ever made, not by dint of a difference in degree, but because of a difference in kind. It is a drama of pure optimism. Every other show tries to thrill us by showing us how bad or how ridiculous or how exciting someone else’s world could be; Star Trek: TNG thrills us by showing us how beautiful our own world could become.”

I'm absolutely 100% unironic here, this is best described as the death of one of the biggest social achievements of the mid-20th century.
A lot of the problem with YA is that it's just not really necessary. 16-year-olds can read almost all fiction--they certainly won't understand everything, but they don't have to. We don't need teenager-specific literature.

something something about corporations inserting themselves into the business of ao3, one of the last anti censorship, capitalism-free and ad-free places on the internet. #ao3outage

Because of AI, nothing works as well as it used to. It destroys value, rather than creating it. History will consider us letting tech folks' wet dreams about magic robots to devalue every interaction with our fellow humans as the gravest error of the 21st century.
To sum up today's news: - Reddit stock is down because of AI answers - Google stock is down because of AI answers - Your web traffic is down because of AI answers Happy to see that worked out well for all parties involved

as a person that gets it: thank you to the volunteers who do this for FREE bc whatever caused this must be rough. kudos to them as a reader: TWO WEEKS? that’s fine… that’s fINE…
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/

it should exist actually the internet was literally created to share things with each other for free everything was human made and free and fun and then rich people fuckass capitalized it now it's a prison
im four beers deep and i need everyone to understand that wikipedia is the last good thing. millions of strangers agreed to write down everything for free and then argue about citations forever. no ads. no paywall. this should not exist and it does and i'm crying about it

She said that eight years ago as part of a lighthearted debate about who was the biggest asshole out of Heathcliff and Darcy. This is what she actually had to say about Darcy recently
This adaption was written by woman who hates Mr. Darcy. She's said “Him being held up as a romantic hero is a myth which has had a really insidious ripple effect on dating culture right up until now.” That many women had a kind of Stockholm syndrome to the character. And that he was a “conceited, bullish and rude snob who, as my fellow millennials would say, needs to check his privilege.”

every adaptation has done lizzy a disservice by not portraying mr bennet correctly. she's very cognizant of her father's flaws and it pains her deeply; it also informs her whole attitude towards marriage.
apparently people can’t handle a pro mrs bennet adaptation of pride and prejudice after we’ve had to sit through countless of adaptations turning mr bennet into a good guy lmao

Si Mbappe dice de frenar a la extrema derecha, Lamine saca la bandera de palestina, o Borja Iglesias y Héctor Bellerin dice que en el fútbol hay mucho machismo y homofobia no se puede mezclar deporte con política, pero para que facha fachez use una tragedia a su favor sí

Por favor, NO difundáis imágenes del choque de trenes de Los Yébenes porque pueden aparecer personas en un momento muy vulnerable. Tengamos responsabilidad hacia los pasajeros y sus familias. Documentar está genial, pero revisad antes de publicar imágenes sensibles. Por dignidad.
