I get it but having to wear a mask is something the government does to me, but when I vote for conscription it will happen to other people and the leopards will surely never eat my face

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

this is basically portland's version of a haka

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

fukuyama is the pleasant bureaucrat version of kojima, who is of course a murder poet

The size of the divide between the average American liberal and the average American liberal pundit on one of the defining questions of foreign policy today really can't be overstated.

Speaking as a ( Danish ) vet: "We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement." Any soldier worth their salt instantly regocnizes this as a red flag that your commanding officer is setting you up to do shit that will haunt you in your dreams for the rest of your life.

As you read how Judge Young characterizes ICE in terms of eschewing jury trials, remember that's how he ends the entire opinion: inviting his anonymous interlocutor to watch a jury trial.

When you think about it a hotel is basically a people library if you're a kidnapper

So uh some thoughts on this, besides it's awful

🎶She's changing her name From David to Darrian She's trading her deity for an Akkado-Sumerian I want a girl with a pink skirt and a bluueeeee Jacket 🎶

Her self-portraits are as meaningful to me as her depictions of the "power of women", like Judith, because they represent her defining herself independently of the acts & desires of men. Earlier in her career, these paintings had men just off-frame, if you will. La Pittura is sufficient in herself.

As a survivor of sexual assault and abuse myself, I find it hard to imagine that this ordeal — which spanned almost two years, starting when she was 18 — did not permanently influence how she perceived herself as a woman in a world dominated by men, and affect how she painted her subjects.

Analysis of Artemisia's life and work often centers around the sexual assault committed against her by an older artist, and her subsequent torture, abuse, and humiliation at the hands of the law. I am sympathetic to the idea that it is overly reductive to read all of her work through that event, but

That makes it meaningful to me that she depicted herself as her own muse, and specifically as a working, professional artist. I like to see her as painting herself painting herself as the concept of painting*, an act that could not fail to be understood as a declaration of sovereignty over the self.

So. First of all, to me being trans is about acts of conscious self-definition. I think anyone who looks in the mirror and says "my gender is mine to determine, and I am going to figure out what it is and take control of it" has claim to the word, even if they land around their assigned gender.

My girlfriend is an Artemisia fan Knew I liked her for a reason

I'm great in bed. Twelve hours sleep last night in my clothes

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

if your answer to every problem is to always turn up the same dial you're not going to solve the problem And if the dial is marked 'brutality' things will get worse

Yo what up its Mister Beast and for this video we've rented out Alcatraz to try the STANFORD PRISON CHALLENGE

I prefer to call it hugging pugilistics

Forget weighted blankets… just combine a 1,030-page book with an 80 lb golden retriever on your lap. Instant paralysis.

Two things that are worth thinking about here: 1) The fact that this conversation is only ever had among cis people. 2) The fact that Ezra Klein absolutely knows better than to ask Ta-Nahesi Coates the equivalent question about white supremacists.

1. 58 million pounds is a frankly inconceivable amount of corn dogs. The human mind cannot contain such an immensity of corned dog 2. Are we absolutely, 100% sure five people didn't just try to eat the stick?

One must imagine Charlie Brown happy

They're having a poster sale at school and this one stood out for some reason
