THE BOYS, a television show on amazon

so these dummies saw homelander literally nursing (as in drinking actual breast milk) in season 1 and thought, ‘yeah, this is a powerful man, power is being able to do whatever you want, this guy is the hero of the show’

homelander lets an entire plane crash, kills multiple times in petulant rages, and is clearly a sociopath/deranged fascist, his girlfriend is literally a nazi — let’s face it, the writing is hardly subtle — and these white boys thought YEAH, THIS IS THE HERO

and this is why cutting humanities from the schools is bad, these fucknuts don’t know that being a lead character isn’t the same as being the hero (which actually does rather require that the character be moral, right, and good)

honestly whole swathes of society have absolutely no hold at all on power actually being self-mastery, they honestly think REAL POWER is being a slave to one’s basest drives, that it’s being an abusive, selfish, horrific little cunt all the time and not getting punished for it

NEWS, in my local paper

the same sorts of woefully underendowed intellectuals are mad there was a drag show in pendleton and the paper covered it like it would cover literally anything else

10 or 15 years ago the average reader would have seen coverage of a drag show and simply determined they didn’t care for or about it; now, due to extreme brain-poisoning from the fox channel’s news entertainment programs and the internet’s danker corners, they’re angry and upset and offended and victimized about it and believe that society, which has LITERALLY ALWAYS HAD DRAG QUEENS, is in sharp decline

drag queens are frequently intimidating to people outside the community, sure, but everybody used to know they weren’t anything to get mad about

listen, if you hate drag queens but think rodeo clowns are totally fine and normal, you seriously need to go work on your personal shit lol

MASTER, in terms of bedrooms

the walls in the master bedroom of this house are painted lavender and i’ve been sorta struggling with it

obviously most normal people would just paint the room but i don’t want to because fuck painting, total pain in the arse

so i got a lavender blanket last week and made the bed with that and some chocolate brown sheets and a quilt from my mom and a throw, and dang! i think i’ve got a color scheme now!

dark brown and lavender look very restful and nice together, and the dresser is already dark brown, so really i just need a rug and some art, and maybe some sheers and BANG! it’s a room

but i’m here to tell you: there isn’t a single chocolate & lavender rug IN THE ENTIRE WORLD lol

(i found a great chocolate persian/oriental rug but the contrast color isn’t quite lavender, rather, it’s blue, and it just wouldn’t tie in the way i want, dang it)

anyway if you see any lavender and chocolate rugs please tell me immediately

DAD, the old pater

yesterday was father’s day, apparently, and my dad’s in town and this is quite possibly the first time we’ve been in the same town on father’s day in two decades

and i should have had him over for dinner or something but i didn’t know it was father’s day until today so there’s that opportunity wasted

happy dad’s day anyway

CHEESE CONVENTION, coming up soon

my bosses are taking me to BLAZING THE TRAIL FOR CHEESE, a big-ass cheese industry convention, in portland next month, but get this: they’re also covering transportation and lodging?!?!? they really don’t have to but i’m amazed and pleased

i think paying for entry is a reasonable employer thing to do, but gas and hotel? amazing

I am GOING to a HUGE cheese convention!!! how exciting is THAT!!
