Black Widow’s director Cate Shortland on ‘involuntary hysterectomy’ clap-back

“So Eric, who is our writer, had written a joke about women being in bad moods because they have their period, Shortland recalls. And I remember Florence and Scarlett and I reading it and just being like, ‘Oh, my God, this is ridiculous.’

The director says she almost cut the joke entirely, but after discussing with her actors, ultimately decided to “answer it.” She didn’t clarify if that meant improvising on the day of or going back for traditional rewrites, but the outcome was the final digression on involuntary hysterectomies.

I love it, Shortland says. Because it’s like, if you’re gonna make that joke, I’m gonna unleash Florence Pugh on you. She’s gonna Yelena you. It’s one of my favorite moments in the film.”

Abandoned House in the Woods Taken Over by Wild Animals

Finnish photographer Kai Fagerström presents unique photo series, where he captures wild animals making themselves comfortable in abandoned houses in the woods of Finland. Titled The House in the Woods, the photo series is set in cottages near Kai’s summer house, which were abandoned by their tenants after the owner of the place died in a fire. Award-winning photographer noticed how the place was slowly being reclaimed by the nature, and what started as a few snapshots, ended up being a book, published in Finnish, German, and English.

“Deserted buildings are so full of contradictions,” says Kai. “I am fascinated by the way nature reclaims spaces that were, essentially, only ever on loan to humans.” Kai usually works with a clear image of what he wants to achieve in his head, although it make take some time for all elements to fall into place. The photographer has enough patience, however: “This is fine with me,” he says. “The journey is more important than the destination.“

Me: -so after it became apparent that ‘retarded’ had become a term of abuse, educators and psychiatrists switched to other terms like ‘handicapped’ or ‘special needs’ in an attempt to -

George Orwell, whom I’ve dragged forward in time with my arcane powers because I’m lonely and want someone to talk to: You have a telephone in your pocket?  It listens to you all the time?

Me: Never mind about that, the point is, young people now mock each other by sending the wheelchair emoji - that’s a type of electronic heiroglyph - to suggest mental deficiency and shout SPESHUL!!!! while doing offensive imitations of disabled facial expressions and posture.  So any attempt to lexographically make crimethink impossible is pretty much doomed because the meaning of words in everyday conversation can’t be controlled by a dictionary entry, no matter how many Ministry of Truth employees-

Not to sound like a sap but I think we as a society would be so much better off if we stopped constantly assuming the worst of each other.

Like… I know we’re all traumatised and reacting and hurting. But here’s some important reminders:

-not everyone who disagrees with you is your enemy

-some things are nuanced actually

-restorative justice would be available to everyone. yes, even people you don’t like

-human beings are bad at being objective. like… so bad.

-the work is difficult, and not just because of terfs/fascists/enemies. it will be hard. but that’s okay.

-not every comment or post or issue or stance you disagree with is worth the fight or needs your input. sometimes you can just let things go.

Modern AU Klaus Wulfenbach is absolutely the kind of person who never steps foot into work unless he’s in a perfectly ironed three piece suit but also manages to get away with wearing ties with little embroidered penguins carrying martini glasses

#gil gets them for him #i’m just saying #gil is slowly escalating the level of absurdity of the ties to see how far his father will go #see it started when he was little and earnest and genuinely couldn’t think of anything to give Dad for Christmas except a tie #a perfectly regular tie; navy blue or something like that #that klaus could wear to work - but they would both know it’s the special Gil tie #(this works whether or not gil is secret in this hypothetical modern au and that pleases me) #maybe there’s like a secret pen mark on the back to clearly identify it as the Tie From Gil #/just/ so Klaus doesn’t mistake it for another one of his navy blue ties (he has like five) (Gil thought this THROUGH) #klaus likes it because klaus likes useful presents (psh klaus likes anything from gil ever but gil doesn’t know that) #so the tradition continues: christmas - maybe birthday too tbh; but birthday might be socks every year #a tie #basically normal ties. maybe gil branches out slightly into simple sober patterns. #but then he hits teenagerdom and the (ENTIRELY VALID) Irritation begins #so Gil takes a page from the Rose Lalonde manual of parent-child passive-aggression and gets his father a slightly sillier tie than normal #still pretty proper but like brighter colors or something? #okay so this is probably tarvek’s plan; let’s say they’re friends - because i can’t REALLY imagine gil being that subtle or clothing-focused #and klaus wears it to like official board meetings and stuff #so gil just…slowly escalates #next year the tie has polka dots just a bit too large and colorful to be properly formal #then it’s stars #then it’s discreet penguins #he’s going to escalate up to like the tie my dad has with school busses and stop signs and trees at some point #or cartoon animals god #klaus will wear them ALL #partly because he genuinely loves his son #partly because he got like three years into the escalation before he realized gil was being passive-aggressive #rather than just horribly lacking in fashion (and common) sense #and he refuses to back out of the contest now #this is not a super healthy parent-child relationship #neither is rose’s

BYE KSKDLAMDKDSM

I cannot tell you guys how much I’ve laughed at this yesterday, the comments on the willow mv are PRICELESS! 😂😂

For those of you wondering what the Swift rule is, every time Taylor releases an album, Corinthians (one of the big soccer teams in Brazil) doesn’t lose the previous and upcoming game. Like, never. And this weekend they were going to play the currently best team in Brazil, and regional rival. The other team was on a winning streak, but the swift rule is unbeatable.

But it doesn’t stop there!! People really believe taylor is some kind of patron saint of Corinthians, not only the Swift rule is definitely a thing, but Corinthians had never won a national championship while Taylor wasn’t born, first time was in 1990. And there is more, back in the day we still had playoffs for the main championship, and guess when was the final that crowned Corinthians champion? December 13th.

SOME GEMS ON THE WILLOW MV COMMENTS:

“saint george in heaven (patreon saint of Corinthians) and taylor swift on earth. go miss corinthiana”

“it was never luck it was always taylor swift. go corinthians!”

“I was always prejudiced to hear taylor songs but since she blessed Corinthias i have started to listen and they are good. thank you taylor. go corinthias”

“Taylor Swift is the patron saint of a Brazilian soccer team” is not something I expected to learn today

On the off-chance that people don’t know this…

This style of bridge dates from the days when barges were towed by horses. When the towpath switched to the opposite side of the canal, the horse would, obviously, clippy-clop over a bridge and happily plod off again. Now, the automatic way to do this would be like this:

However, note that rope (black line) between the horse (brown blob) and the barge (red blob). If you cross the bridge the automatic way, it all goes a bit….

However, if you cross the bridge like THIS

it all works out fine!

Now, sure, you could trust people to remember how to cross a bridge. But there are a lot of numpties out there, and people were working extremely long days and were extremely tired. Also, the canals were BUSY. One boat getting snarled up was the equivalent of the Ever Given.

So, instead, the canal companies built Numpty-Proof Bridges.

They also had the benefit that the horse could be left to plod along on its own, rather than needing human guidance. (I have no idea how this worked. My horse would have her nose buried in the grass and wouldn’t go anywhere, if I left her to it.)

sometimes i think about the fact that lxc was once a boy who laughed and cried and had honey-sweet dreams of what life might be like as an adult, not knowing that what awaits him is not a lifetime of loving & being loved back, but - war. grief. heartbreak. betrayal.

and then i stop thinking about it because it hurts me :^)
