i like math :)
im very sympathetic to carol ofc cause its her story and i really love her (also im gay), but i also sympathized with the hivemind throughout the show, and its interesting that some people didnt at all

its fascinating the different reactions to it--im in some discords where people are like "yes carol is exactly the right amount of mad. the aliens have Taken Over The World" and then i watch it with my mom and we both go "damn it sucks to see carol be so mean to them :("

theres a kind of brainworms where people assume that creatives they don't like must also hate the stuff they like. people talk about jj abrams or rian johnson *hating* star wars, as if the only reason anyone would ever make a star wars movie you didnt like was that they hated star wars.

There's something really beautiful and human to me about how bad they are at dealing with Carol. Like, they're so concerned about her emotional state and overwhelmed by her unhappiness that they're completely unable to connect with or understand her in any meaningful way.

essentially, you cannot divorce a work from its context, but that doesn't mean we can use an author and their baggage as a proxy for the work itself.

i think there can be a valuable middle ground where you acknowledge how a change in context changes the meaning of a work, without trying to deny the ways that that work did or still does resonate with you. this is also most important internally, rather than socially, to be clear

when people find out an artist is problematic, there's this cultural moment where people declare that actually, the work was bad the whole time. people internalize this and rewrite their internal narrative, telling themselves that it was bad the whole time, and denying their own love for it
November 13, 2025 at 3:34 PM
true! context can change how you interpret a work, as well as how much you enjoy it, and to some extent that's unavoidable. it's still important to acknowledge, though, that a creative being problematic doesn't retroactively poison the work

he also played the doctor in the ITYSL "baby of the year" sketch! RIP.

this is a celebrity interaction that was minor rather than an interaction with a minor celebrity. original post can refer to either

we cant maintain a state of constant panic at all times. nobody is saying that the US military could never turn against the people. what they're doing is informed analysis on how servicemembers are likely to respond to orders like the ones we're seeing now, in contexts like the ones we're seeing now

there has to be a point where we just stop acknowledging his existence right?

ive not played it, but every rpg ive ever read or played that had combat mechanics i liked was inspired by 4e

Milchick has quickly become my favorite character in the show. I feel like everything they've done with him this season has been perfect even when the rest of the show was slipping in quality.

the culture's a lil fucked. the gm is expected to host, schedule, and prep the games entirely on their own, while also ensuring all the players have fun. fortunately it's getting better, there's a lot more emphasis these days on the gm having fun and sharing logistic responsibility with the players.

yeah. it's wild seeing reports of dems being like "but we're not doing the fascism, dont be mean to us 🥺" as if somehow if i write letters to trump it will convince him to stop. you're the one who shares (some of) my values! the nazis and i share none! of course im gonna look to you to stop this!

It took me a while after this to start hormones, but coming out to my family (who were supportive, although surprised. My parents said they saw it coming a little with my brother, but not with me.) was pretty much the point of no return.
