She’s JUST Like Me

I actually despise poetry like this because it relies purely on its gimmick rather than any actual technical skill. because if you actually write it out in paragraphs it’s only a middling poem. it doesn’t really say anything interesting or advance the genre. the language is not very interesting. the sentences are mostly prosaic. there’s no musicality. in short it has very little actual artistic quality.

A poem should stand on its own as just the words on the page - not be defined by the goofy way you arrange them. I could, if I wanted, rearrange Thomas’ masterpiece Fern Hill or Keats’ On First Looking Into Chapman’s Homer

to

be

written

like

so.

but they don’t NEED to be and in fact it would probably take away from the actual lyricism of the work.

did you guys see the poem from a couple of days ago in poetry dot org’s daily poem it was so good and a treat to read 

this was the “proof” they claimed to have btw. like. you keep using that word I do not think it means what you think it means.

It's hilarious how you didn't respond to my ask, showing literal PROOF South Korea was a fascist dictatorship in its inception. Instead you claim the DPRK was somehow the fascist one

Look up Ilminism and Syngman Rhee :)

babe I went to bed I was going to respond in the morning. are you so obsessed with me that you can’t wait eight hours. (also you did not provide proof bbygirl. you just said it was true. that’s not proof. (although it doesn’t really matter because you weren’t making a super outlandish claim. Rhee’s dictatorship is established historical fact))

Trust me. I know about Rhee. I will be the first to point out that there was little to no difference between the South and the North during the Korean War. The difference is that the South reformed into a free Republic. The North did not. Had we not defended the South, it would have been absorbed and the whole peninsula would have stayed under dictatorial rule to this day.

Don’t believe me? Let’s look at another divided Cold War country where the UN was not quite as successful - Vietnam. Both sides of the Vietnam War were pretty brutal dictatorships (I would even argue that the South was worse.) And Vietnam remains under a one-party dictatorship to this day. Had the South remained free, I have no doubt that it would have reformed eventually, just as South Korea did, and by defending them we gave them that chance.

There is also such a thing as duty and right action. North Korea was the unlawful aggressor. Should we have simply sat back and appeased Kim Il-Sung as we did Hitler? I’m sure that no one would object to the West coming to Austria’s defence in 1938, even though Kurt von Schuschnigg’s government was effectively fascist. Or Poland - the Sanation Government of the Second Polish Republic was extremely autocratic. But when it was invaded by Germany and Russia, it was only right that we defended it.

Fascism cannot be defeated by sitting around twiddling our thumbs and waiting for the right nation to defend. Optics are and should be a non-consideration. The war is out there and we must fight it.

have you studied dialectical materialism

Have I seriously studied it in an academic environment? No.

Have I read enough to know that, like the rest of Marx’s work, it’s complete bullshit? Yes.

Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.

“you shouldn’t celebrate billionaires. You should celebrate fascist instead”

what a choice

btw the katy perry/bezos' girlfriend/other four irrelevant billionaires 10 minute space stunt was not the first all female expedition no matter how much they try to market it as such. the first all female mission was in 1963 with soviet cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova, Irina Solovyova and Valentina Ponomaryova - all three of which were working class and had to pass incredibly hard exams to be chosen from 400 potential candidates. just in case we started falling for the propaganda machine again

beware the ides of March

so true and real bestie ❤️

I’m sorry but you could not convince me to ship any straight pairing on Yellowjackets. I came here for the femslash and I’m sticking with that

Eschew useless lesbianism in favor of productive and efficient lesbianism

why the FUCK would you have cheese or butter with vegetables that so gross. in a just universe those two foods should never come in contact with each other.

diet talk is so inexpressibly nonsensical the instant you know anything about "the human body" or "nutrition" or if you think about it for three seconds

I think that this statue of Morihaus represents the rot at the heart of TES IV.

Because this is fundamentally NOT Morihaus. It is, because the game says it is, but… you’re telling me THIS is Morihaus the man-bull? Morihaus breath-of-Kyne? The father of all Minotaurs?

Oblivion was obsessed with doing shit like this. Dumbing down and simplifying and normalifying good and interesting lore. They did the same thing with Cyrod itself, and with Pelinal (who was VERY CLEARLY written to be the setting’s version of Achilles, but instead was depicted as a High Medieval crusader.)

Was it really too hard to give us a game that wasn’t solely based on Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings, Todd?
