I see bsky has reached the same critical mass as tw*tter where we have the same conversations where the popular conception of “gaze” in media is still presumed to be whatever a gender would consider attractive/pleasurable instead of understanding gaze as a framework to discuss objects and subjects.
This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

No room for wokeness!
@Wokenessisevil
Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.

I've had enough of assholes talking about Englishness. So here's what Englishness means to me, as someone with a Cambridge degree in early medieval history. You know, that period when we invented England. (1/12)

I had no idea we weren't still teaching phonics to kids--this article is a wild ride. If you're a nerd for reading, I suggest you gird your heart with a blanket or cup of tea before diving in.

College profs are living in the wake of 20+ years of ineffective and, for some learners, outright harmful reading instruction. Ever heard a student read a word that doesn’t sound like the one on the page, but looks similar? Read up on 2000s-era reading wars www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

I heard the same dev team was also working on Pope XVI and quality was significantly diminished as XIV was neglected.
Might be a rocky start but don't worry, he'll be much better in a few years as Pope Leo XIV: A Realm Reborn

I’ve been crying all morning. I’m bereft. Jiggly Caliente was an absolute goddamn icon. No one else like her has ever really graced the TV screen again. She legitimately shaped the trajectory of the show + the culture. I’m missing her terribly. May we always call you Jiggly.

Got a $98 bill from my dentist with no explanation — I called and asked why I’m being billed and they were like, “uh, we don’t know, we’ll just have it canceled…” Ah the health industry! So much of it relies upon people being too exhausted to push back.

Garcelle will ALWAYS be that girl. Happy for her she’s leaving on her own terms. This show did her so dirty. And I predict they will turn on Boz too—a dark age for RHOBH is on its way, and honestly I may not even tune in. Poor Sutton should jump ship too. deadline.com/2025/03/garc...

If you have any passing interest about what I’m into these days, lemme put you on to THE NEWSREADER! Mandatory viewing. It’s like The Newsroom but in the 80s, queer, and without all the Sorkinisms. Legit the best TV I’ve watched since Interview with the Vampire (incidentally also starring Sam Reid).

Many people have written about how the “trans people in sports” debate is an intentional obfuscation to move the Overton window away from conversations about people’s material conditions, but we also must note that the people pushing this debate advertise having…the reading list of an 8th grader.

Terrible news: my friend was looking for suggestions of retro video games to record vgm vocal covers to and I was wondering, are there many retro games with vocal tracks in them? And anyway that was when I realized—and now you can too—that Kingdom Hearts is retro now.

I know the material reasons for the rise of fascism. I also think another reason - which doesn’t get talked about as much because it’s embarrassing that humans can be that naive - is that when you are financially comfortable but bored, abstract cruelty can give you a sense of purpose.
