The longest government shutdown in American history would be an opportune time for our political Lady Elaine Fairchilde to pop up onto the stage to critique the two-party system she seeks to topple with the regularity of a leap year

My eyeballs tasted this poison. What don’t get defined here is “masculine virtues” of course, just a sense that there is one (1) masculinity and that masculinity is not a spectrum or sphere that intersects with or interacts with femininity.

Imagine titling an album after code for “I love you” and then after it flops so hard the only way to distance yourself from it is to get divorced

Usually when a crime is being committed, authorities do not announce publicly that a crime is being committed; they arrest people involved. Therefore, if there are no arrests and just announcements, it's unlikely a crime is actually being committed.

Anyone organizing/participating in a Queer theory reading group? If not, then what's wrong with you?!
Anyone know of a reading group on Queer Theory? I believe my thinking on this subject is far too idiosyncratic. Could benefit from engaging with more perspectives.

Luanne Castle thinks the average person doesn't realize how revenge works, today at Villain Era!
Eternal Flame by Luanne Castle
after “The Fallen Angel” by Alexandre Cabanel What the average person doesn’t realize is how revenge works. It doesn’t come into being after the initial rage and disappointment and frustration cool. It’s not the logical mind rising from the gray ashes of emotion. Revenge is an emotion born at that first moment. Imagine Lucifer’s fall from the heavens. As he lands far below the docile and dovelike celestial beings a desire for revenge flames in his breast.
