the nyt and the atlantic are cited all over the heritage foundation bills. rowling is nearly single-handedly funding gc legal challenges in the uk. this isn’t “i got my feelings hurt” it’s “it’s legal to discriminate against me in very important ways”

just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights

The Rahm Emanuel redemption tour, which ignores a long and detailed history of anti-Black policies in his time as mayor of Chicago, is a good example of how the more overt white supremacy of Elon Musk and his cohort of conservatives is normalized

I think my ultimate issue with Nolan’s Odyssey, even though I liked it, is my same issue with his Batman movies: you can feel how much he wants to be taken seriously rather than taking his subject matter seriously (gods, man dressed as bat)and so allowing his audience to take it seriously too

you: *debating the cultural and contextual themes of the Odyssey as translated by Fagel, Lattimore, or Wilson as represented or failed to be represented by Nolan’s The Odyssey and the fidelity or lack of fidelity required in adaptation* me, a genius: horse should have had wheels
