Judith Butler Apology Form
Date:
Reason for behavior:
( ) The media convinced me that feminism was solved in the 1980s
( ) I miss not thinking about gender
( ) I was jealous of their nonbinary swag
( ) I never actually read their work
( ) I didn't realize how much of society is built on gender
( ) Mercury was in retrograde
-------------
( ) I will hereby respect Judith Butler and I will NOT talk down on the best feminist thinker of our lifetimes

started a btvs s5 rewatch and No Place Like Home is just an incredible episode. lore reveal, family tragedy buildup, Giles in a wizard outfit, Glory’s intro, Anya gets a job, out for a walk bitch, unbelievable amounts of sister feelings, simply banger after banger. and also Riley is there I guess.

80 hours of embroidery! This aerial landscape is directly inspired by Dartmoor and I'd say I have another 30-ish hours to go? I'm now starting to fill in the fields for the sheep, the tor area will be done last as I'm still deciding whether I want a slope or not 😅 I hope you like it! #art

I have started enjoying early 19th century tombstones so much since I realised they read like Google reviews of people
Tombstone of Mrs Eleanor Fairley, Bridgetown, Barbados. A long account of her virtues. Apparently nice to her friends and husband. It also says she was “humane and indulgent” to her servants, though I bet nobody asked them. Died 1823. Tombstone of Mrs Jannet Grant, Inverness, Scotland. Very hard to read but again it is a list of her virtues and conduct. Top lady. Died 1845.

A digital illustration of five generalized female figures – just outlines and fills with no details, facial features – holding hands and dancing in an circle. Vaguely based on but much less good than Matisse's 'The Dance' painting which was probably on a greeting card your aunt gave you once. They are on a grass green and sky blue background under purple lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today.'

8 years ago, I tweeted side-by-side maps from NASA GISS showing global temperatures in 1976 and 2018 – both hot summers in the UK. It subsequently went viral and was printed in the Daily Mail! The 2026 version is stark. Two locally extreme summers separated by 50 years of global climate change.

Okay, so this has brought a lot of attention to my book PAGANS, which is great, obviously, but also I'm braced for people shouting at me that the Norman Conquest *didn't* bring Christianity to the UK, as you might think from a quick glance at the blurb, it was here already. CORRECT.

I'd go a step further and say this question, "do you think the Norman Conquest of 1066 had a positive or negative impact on Britain", by being so uniquely pointless, is a perfect encapsulation of the popular attitudes towards history, where all events are judged through the prism of 'good' and 'bad'

What is Superman's "Kryptonite"?
In literature, mythology, and comic books heroes often have a "kryptonite" or "Achilles's heel", basically a weakness that makes them vulnerable.
I'm curious what fans here would consider to be
Superman's "Kryptonite"?
