I haven't gotten anything from stylish occult yet (there just hasn't happened to be anything I've found worth the higher price tags ) but they should sell plush keychains or little figurines of some weird taxidermy, just to bring it full circle. Plus it'd be cute in a more 'subtle fandom' way.

The story of how a holiday originally instituted to celebrate an embattled immigrant community seen as culturally and at times racially distinct from Anglo Protestants, has become associated with the same political coalition that hates immigrants today, is the story of whiteness in America.

Christopher Columbus himself was a monster, but Columbus Day was instituted in 1892 to combat rising anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic bigotry after the lynching of eleven Italian-Americans. The same revanchists defending Columbus Day as "part of our US heritage" in 2025 would have opposed it in 1892.

This trope sucks, BTW. It’s like straight men being into WLW stuff but too homophobic to commit. If Regina George doesn’t start shoving her face in those disgusting, gorgeous breasts she should go home.

Namely the Literotica trope where the author puts the heroine/protagonist/lust object through some sort of sexy predicament and then has some mean girl off to the side going, “Oh, look at you! You’re so gross! Everyone hates you and your disgusting, gorgeous breasts! Ew!”

In honor of the unhinged literary opinions post that is already making people annoying, I have to say my least favorite part of this book was when the main love interest’s sister tortures Pamela because it had the energy of a certain type of Literotica trope.

And if you were among the communities being actively tortured, the red hot fury you would experience would be utterly undying, but British society was pillared and segregated in such a way that if you didn't, it was extremely easy to ignore.

I remember hearing a remark something to the effect that Thatcher correctly identified that the deindustrialization of Britain was inevitable and probably desirable in the long run, and rather than try to soften the short to medium term pain, actively reveled in making it worse to punish people.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

He was taken alive to Gaza.
A Nepalese student. Not Israeli, not a "settler", not his war.
He should never been taken hostage.

I think it matters that to whatever degree we want to credit Trump with doing this as-yet-tenuous deal, forget the ten months of ongoing support for genocide, the support for bombing Tehran, etc.; Trump helped accomplish this by telling Palestinians if they didn’t sign on he’d see them all destroyed

The thing about Bari Weiss is "the powerful actually enjoy being mocked because it means they're important" does not apply to her. She is a thin skinned whiner who might actually see your mockery and can't even "not mad/actually laughing" it because it ruins her day, so keep it up

Misha Collins was queerbating from the very beginning. He can't stop doing it. It's just always been in his nature.

I remember a comedian once saying, "At least when we legalize weed stoners will have to talk about something else" and experience has not proven that to be true.

[JOHN ADAMS HBO miniseries theme song intensifies]

Every once in a while I think about this video and the guy in it with the “Where the HELL is Detroit?” shirt.

Yes I dooooo …

I hate to be the person who posts pictures of Amin al-Husseini, but …

I showed “Gravity” to my brother and his girlfriend and they just thought it sounded like Christian metal.

Other impressions were “later era butt rock” and “this metal band has been working a long time and wants a pop hit”

Lute from HAZBIN HOTEL is a lot like Fantine from LES MISERABLES in that she has a banger song for a guy who doesn’t deserve it.
