I just had the craziest fucking narrowly avoiding rape in the woods experience of my life

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

for years now we've been deluged with opinion pieces & full-length books about how young men are so sad/isolated/afraid to approach girls & women/oppressed by feminists & #MeToo/victims of a cruel anti-male culture ad nauseam; yet, as we see here, these entitled young men at Cornell had not the slightest hesitation or the mildest anxiety about committing a group rape of an intoxicated young woman, a classmate of theirs.
please spare us any more of those pathetic opinion & books pieces about sad young men pining away in loneliness & fear of girls & women.
& especially, please spare us blaming girls & women for their being so sad & oppressed.

my med school bf gave a presentation today on how cigarettes cause lung cancer and then smoked at a bar with people from his class

I mean in the poem twelve girls sleeping with the suitors are hanged even though the suitors are described as rapists. The issue is that Nolan mostly ignored the brutality toward women in favor of tepid girlbossism but included this, so it’s discordant with the rest of the movie

[Unjust Ken @YoungerPope]

Penelope both recognizing that the suitors are preying upon her slaves and also seeming to sentence one of them to death for being subject to those predations, idk Mr Nolan maybe someone should have gone over this script with you a few times

How is it not wildly antisemitic to blame holocaust victims for the holocaust??? hannah arendt even more right 60 years later

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

The modern veneration of the Jewish Bund is honestly one of the stupidest ideas I’ve seen in some time.

The Bund of Eastern Europe rejected Zionism and believed in promoting Jewish life in the places where Jews lived. Guess what happened to them? They got wiped out by the Nazis, proving why a Jewish state was so necessary

🎶can you describe them for me

Matt Damon has British/Scandinavian ancestry.

Homer talks about Ethiopians *in* the Odyssey; meanwhile, the Greeks wouldn’t even know that the British Isles existed for another ~400 years.

I think this is the end of her career

[claire @guitarantihero]

YAYYYYY

[claire @guitarantihero]

omg… I have to pick tramell tillman, although I wish Sam Rockwell qualified for guest actor so they could both win. I hope jason isaacs isn’t actually nominated

[claire @guitarantihero]

It’s actually crazy how much the quality of big studio movies has deteriorated over the past couple decades. There’s still an equal amount of (if not more) really amazing movies from auteur directors, but it’s kind of insane how many blockbusters are just slop these days

[claire @guitarantihero]

@aquamarineondvd She really said all that ever needs to be said

[claire @guitarantihero]

Guys nobody is preemptively hating on emerald fennell’s wuthering heights solely because of the anachronisms or the overt sexuality of the trailer, it’s bc we’ve seen her other movies and she’s a bad writer/director

[claire @guitarantihero]

I actually think she would do great as more of a comedic moviemaker bc all the funny parts of her movies land really well imo, it’s just her freaky sex stuff is neither freaky nor interesting enough :/

[claire @guitarantihero]

Reading a bunch of old stuff doesn’t mean you have taste you have to actually be able to understand and evaluate what they are saying in order for it to even matter that you read it

[claire @guitarantihero]

I know you’re either lying or stupid if your favorite historian of antiquity is fucking xenophon jesus christ

[λέων @monthrlant]

This is supposed to be a basic list. If interested I would also recommend some of my personal favourite authors, with Xenophon, Lawrence (both T.E and D.H), Sophocles, Aeschylus, Van Gogh's Letters, Rilke, Plutarch, Rabelais, Boccaccio, and Juvenal.

[claire @guitarantihero]

and Aeschylus but not euripides… I know who you are
