Emlyn Says Hello

Just saw an adult man growl at a qr code on the wall

We walked into the hallway to get to our hotel room and I lost it laughing

THIS^^^

And if you do get paid for your ideas/writing during the strike, that is considered scabbing and you will be barred from the WGA for life, as per this email from the Blacklist:

And, because a lot of people don't understand this bit, this is about you selling your ideas or writing to US-based TV studios or movie studios who are part of the AMPTP. There is no strike against book publishers. Nor audiobooks, graphic novels, or poetry publishing. Or just writing.

Read the above from the WGA.

had a dream last night where I took a uquiz called “what do you serve?” and at first the questions were standard but as the quiz progressed they became more and more highly specific to me personally and the answers became more and more similar and I realised the quiz Knew me and was forcing me into being honest by giving me no other option so I tried to click out but it just went to the next question which was “are you the spider? or are you the web?” and it had an option for each but I didn’t click either so it then turned to a text box and I typed “I think I’m the fly” and the quiz paused for a while and then took me to a results page that said “you serve truth” and the description just read “what you know will kill you but you will die laughing” so like. good morning everyone I guess :/

OP I think the devil visited you in your sleep

“What you know will kill you but you will die laughing” needs to be added to that list of profound statements from unlikely sources.

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

I think this is something young people in particular are confused about. My dad has always had a slightly off color sense of humor, he always feels the need to privately ask me “boy turned girl or girl turned boy?” if I mention a friend and stress said friend’s pronouns, and yet when we had repair work done in the house and the worker was listening to a podcast discussing the evils of transgender people and how to cleanse society, he went out of his way to contact the owner of the business to discuss his disappointment with that worker’s conduct and stress the negative effect that could have had if there had been trans kids in our home.

Our allies will never be perfect. They will never use the perfect language or have the perfect politics. But we have to appreciate those allies and meet them where they are, especially if they are willing to learn.

this! and! never underestimate your enemy’s ability to steal and weaponize your own language. this will confuse and divide you. this is its point. this is a repeatedly useful tactic when splitting communities.

you need to be earnest. you need to tell people that you love them. you need to speak on how you’re feeling honestly. you need to be sentimental. you need to stop letting the fear of other people laughing at you have so much control over how you express yourself. you need to get over yourself. you need to be embarrassing but true.

chinese mantou (steamd bread) be like

... what

terfs are literally just making incel memes now

i dont really wanna post the full image because its transmisogynist as fuck but one of the listed “pros” of a cisbian gf is that “she won’t persecute you for making POLITICALLY INCORRECT jokes” whereas the trans woman gf has, as one of her cons “SUPPORTING EVIL ONLINE SJWS”. imagine telling andrea dworkin that her writings would lay the foundation of white female incelism.

aside from a few “feminist” buzzwords this character is literally just a male /r9k/ poster’s wank fantasy, not only because she’s some fucking generic skinny short white woman, but also particularly because of every single part of the listed “pros” about how she doesn’t need emotional support, has no insecurities that you need to help her with, will never criticize you for being an asshole and agrees with all your politics. imagine how deranged and friendless the person who wrote this is oh my god

if i was a 500000 year old evil godwizard who killed and got killed for fun would you still like me. what if ae had tits also.

I just don’t see tumblr users delivering performance art like this anymore

finally a descriptor for whatever the fuck american animation studios have been doing for years

Emil Doerstling - Preußisches Liebesglück (1890)

though the original title of the painting is unknown, it's believed to have been inspired by Gustav Sabac el Cher, a Prussian military musician who eventually married a white woman (Gertrud Perlig)

they were married in 1901, but I don't know how long they courted, so it's possible this is based on another woman in his life before he met Gertrud. or possibly just his willingness to court white women in general? it's unclear. he was biracial, so the painting could have been based on his father's marriage as easily as his own courtship

anyway, here are Gustav and Gertrude after their marriage:

also, for anyone who doesn't speak German, the title translates to "Prussian happiness in love."

wish i could google "am i good?" and it would tell me if i should go to the hospital

you know what time it is… 👉⌚️
