Going Rampant

There might be a little "see what we can get away with", but I see that as in the realm of "stupid, not clever." 🤷🏻‍♀️

Me, when I strike a nerve:

The Trans Genocide Game Plan I need people to be aware of the GOP game plan for trans genocide. Here’s how they want to do it:

I made a write up detailing the GOP plan to genocide trans people and its neo-Nazi connections: medium.com/@goingrampan...

"'Wassup' was funny, right? What if we put 'wassup' callbacks around transphobia and ableism? Laugh, damn it!"

I had a dream that I was watching the latest Marvel show, and it had the twist of New York getting bombed and the cast wiped out, suddenly changing from a cheesy superhero tone to gritty realism. That's how my brain is processing the fact that we're suddenly at war with Iran.

It's one of the 1940s American films trying to honor Latin America but having no idea how to do so without a bunch of racist tropes, like Three Caballeros.

It also has Mel Blanc pretending to be Hispanic by using his Speedy Gonzalez voice.

Yeah, it was for a musical called Neptune's Daughter.

In that context, every excuse lyric is just a suggested absurd thing to claim. Maybe it's a snowstorm in summer? Maybe it's a powerful drink I'm not drinking? Both offer absurd excuses while acting like it's a chase. But it's not. It's flirtation.

Watching Neptune's Daughter, the origin of "Baby, It's Cold Outside". There is sexism, but... I think everyone missed a critical context: It's summer. It's hot outside. There is no blizzard except in the song. So, it's not real. It's an obviously absurd excuse for why she could justify staying.

Okay, AFAIK, aside from Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS, the only other media depicting men with small penises as sufficiently masculine is Kaos, and that's just because it's working from an ancient Greek cultural framework.

They always come for porn because it's the thing people are least likely to be vocally in support of, but the tools they use to restrict porn are always used against everyone for all sorts of things you'd never in a million years describe as pornographic. You'd just call them free speech.

Pronouncing the S in Paris is generally more correct than not. Modern French is just weird.

If you've still got some loose change, Curtdogg could still use some assistance.

I've repeatedly received comments from trans women indicating I'm trying too hard to be an ally, that it seems performative.

That was a random teenager. We don't even know if he was old enough to be a member of the Democratic Party.

Dad says the footage on TV was fuzzy, and you couldn't see anything. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Something I find interesting about framing praying to a god to induce love/erotic attraction as a love spell is that similar prayers to God aren't. When it's the Xian God, it's about the world naturally working out (to the prayer's direction), but Greco-Roman gods following prayers are cast spells.

What do you think about Leucippus of Crete?

The travesty was a stock drag role in nineteenth century burlesque.

Jax from TADC is like a trans-coded Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Silence of the Lambs at 35: Reckoning with Its Transgender Legacy - Solzy at the Movies The Silence of the Lambs turned 35 this week, and Buffalo Bill actor Ted Levine is finally speaking about its transgender backlash.

The Silence of the Lambs turned 35 this week, and Buffalo Bill actor Ted Levine is finally speaking about its transgender backlash. For some of us, that reckoning is decades overdue.

Sharing this because it echoes what Wes Craven said:

People don’t go to scary movies to have fear put into them. They go to have the fear released.

By facing our fears in a safe capacity, we are freeing ourselves of their negativity.

Totes agree!

Big Jack Horner, the literal worst.

A segment from the trivia page of an Animaniacs episode. Full text: "Another thing that is off about the supposed cartoon history in this show was that Lon Borax claimed to remember drawing the Warner siblings in the morning of February 30th, which is a non-existent calendar date save for the Soviet Revolutionary calendar that was used between 1929 and 1931 in a faulty effort to improve the industry in the Soviet Union of Russia, and even then THAT calendar was preferably ignored in favor of a proper Gregorian calendar to allow Sunday rest. Then again, this crazy claim from an animator who's gone nuts could just be another in-show attempt to deny the existence of the Warners, as those who claim something happened on February 30th are usually meaning to say, in a sarcastic manner, that it never happened at all."

Fan wikis are such a crap shoot. Sometimes you get good, helpful information, sometimes it's poorly maintained and full of inaccuracies, and sometimes someone just goes off about their hyperfixation on the Soviet calendar in the trivia page of an Animaniacs episode.

Suppose Disney apologized for killing Bambi's mom?

The characterization of Nazi Germany as a total wall of Nazism, with all dissenters sent to camps and everyone else rabidly pro-Nazi is as real as the single line of tanks they would film to give the impression of mechanical supremacy while ignoring the soldiers riding donkeys just off screen.
