Not to increase anxiety, but I found this buried on Reddit. From six months ago. very good thing to have in your pocket so you are prepared
Your gender is now the first randomized wikipedia article you get. No rerolls.
If I may, let me add a list of resources to support Ukraine as well.
I know that in internet/24 hour new coverage time it’s been an eternity since Ukraine was attacked, but we cannot forget them.
if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted
life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters
YOU liked 1984 because of the dystopian atmosphere and the cultural impact and the discussion on how language shapes thought. EYE liked 1984 because I was fujoshing out to winston/obrien torture gaslighting yaoi. we are not the same
Can you imagine if Rodion Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment was alive today and asked about his hobbies?
Dude would literally say:
* sleeping on the couch
* fainting
* becoming manic
* definitely not committing murder
See the Winston/Julia/O’Brien love triangle would never happen because having any kind of queer relationship would never be greenlit by any of those executives (especially if these are the same Netflix executives that decided to make Dorian and Basil SIBLINGS in the new podg adaptation). The homoeroticism would hurt marketability, we can’t have that 😣.
not that there wouldn’t be a love triangle though. They’d probably just write in a new female character.
Everything else about this is painfully accurate.
Just waiting for some braindead capitalists in Hollywood or at Netflix to announce they're producing an adaptation of 1984 "but with a fresh, modern take", and then they're just ageing down all the characters so they can have a dystopian YA story where all the kids get sorted into one of the four ministries and somehow Winston and Julia's relationship gets turned into a love triangle because the producers add O'Brien to the mix for "some drama", and then they have Winston and Julia start a violent rebellion to overthrow the system which is spread out over 4 movies (or 5 seasons on TV), just so they can sell tons of overpriced eyeshadow palettes while an insane amount of "Which Ministry would you be in" quizzes pop up on the internet and ppl make stupid Newspeak TikToks, completely missing the point.
Is 2+2 four or five? I need to settle an argument between me and this guy I have a manipulative friendship with. Please hurry there’s a lot of homoerotic tension
if a libertarian dies in a shootout with the feds they go to the big Action Park in the sky
The weirdo in the back of your English class. Toxic yaoi enjoyer, but I’ll also post about my other things.
