I Get The Weirdest Deckerstar Parallels In My Head Sometimes: Now, On Talk Like A Pirate Day, It’s

Happy pride month, don't lose focus on the movement going on tho. Be gay, do crimes. Be gay, protest. Be gay while supporting black lives matter. You have the range

What she says: I'm fine.

What she means: Alina's relationship with Aleksander is heavily framed as something shameful,as a stain on her character and very existence and how people around her are supposed to be doubtful of her because "she almost fucked the bad guy!! she could be corrupted too!!" While her relationship with Malyen serves heavily to the puritan culture with the "pure,chaste love" trope,defying any passion or sexual chemistry because those things are considered shameful in the society. Malyen is viewed as someone who saves her from said corruption and is considered noble for loving her despite her past with Aleksander and the "bad decisions" she made. Aleksander plays such an important role in her growth but we're supposed to hate that because Aleksander is the villain meanwhile Malyen does nothing but hold her back, limiting her development as a person. The only conclusion I can derive here is that if you were associated with someone wrong in the past,who helped you unleash your full potential,it can all go to shit and you're not going to be valued for that because the very reason for your growth is a monster. Your entire arc is going to be villainized because it's associated to the bad guy. The whole concept of moving on and being your own person is demonized because "you did it once and you ended up in the wrong hands. You started becoming your own person and were so dumb, someone almost made a weapon out of you for their own gain" Alina and her past attraction towards Aleksander makes Alina bad and if she still wants him despite his deeds,she's wrong and "oh so corrupted". That's why Alina goes back to being the same underdeveloped protagonist, because hey,even if she had zero character development at the end of the day, atleast she's not with the bad guy,at least she's one of the good ones. Her only mistake was being unaware of Aleksander's plans,it could've been called a "bad decision" if she was fully aware and yet chose to be involved with him. And it's so funny how Baghra ONLY tells Alina the truth about Aleksander before they're about to have sex,when she had multiple opportunities to tell her the truth AND help her train into being stronger. This only simplifies into "silly girl,thank god i told you the truth,you were about to fuck the bad guy but you didn't so you're saved,you're still pure" What does Aleksander and his behaviour have to do with Alina and her character? How long are we going to let the men in our past define how pure or impure we are? Is this the feminist conclusion I'm supposed to derive from this mess? Is this not what slut shaming is? How long are we going to shit on our heroines so they stay Good™?

we’re doing marx next week in intro to philosophy and i for one can not wait to hear the takes from some great classmates such as 

dude who sits in front of an NRA flag every week and talks about Liberty and how proud he was to serve in the army. (he’s the one who for some reason thought socrates was christian. guaranteed to voice his opinion at length about how evil communism is)

girl who wears a MAGA hat every week despite being indoors and on a zoom call. likes to chime in at least once to bring up jesus. i will acknowledge that she does make decent connections between what we’re discussing and the bible and she’s definitely getting participation credit in, but really you dont need to say “Jesus said that God loves us and we should be nice :)” every time. we get it. (honestly i think she might agree with the passages we’ve been assigned so im interested to see that happen)

guy who just fucking vapes the entire time and offers takes so nonsensical that the professor has to take a moment to consider what the fuck he just heard. (really just hoping to hear him go on about what he thinks aliens will be like. has happened before. very slight but exciting chance that he unironically supports posadism)

Milk can trap mace irritants in your eyes

it’s best to use water. use clean water in a steady, diagonal stream from the inside of the corner (closest to your nose), blink a lot. it’s gonna hurt, but do it. you’ll cry too. that’s your eyes rinsing the irritants out. it’s just like the eye wash lecture you got in chemistry class- just keep washing and blinking and washing and blinking. Then get your clothes off ASAP, run them through the wash by themselves first, then again, then dry them

painted some thoughts re: steve rogers and illness

EVEN NICKELODEON WONT STAND FOR RACIST BULLSHIT

Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?

The police had been shooting them at protesters, reporters and medical teams

They are the ones inciting violence
