Hannibal as a metaphor for capitalism

#I’M ONLY HALF JOKING #LITERALLY THE MOST CONSPICUOUS OF CONSUMPTION #CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS AND A LAVISH LIFESTYLE THAT’S COMPLETELY NORMALIZED ONLY #ONLY THERE’S SOMETHING PARASITIC UNDERNEATH IT AND IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE WHAT IT WAS #YOU’D BE SICK

I’ve seen photographers get on their knees to capture an angle,
And painters lay on their backs to cover their canvas
A lover gets on one knee with ring and heart in hand,
And farmers bow their backs as they tilth the land,

So why is it then considered so strange,
For a man to fall in prostration in view plain
Of all, in the middle of that street you know
Is he not an artist, or a lover, with seeds to sow?

gatheringbones:

watching Hannibal is so hard (and impossible to stop omg ugh) because it’s a deeply frightening show and my unfortunate reaction to being frightened is to want to hit back as hard as possible so watching this show is an exercise in getting angrier and angrier and more and…

Then rappers should make a change and be different.

Only misogynistic rappers need to though, right? No other misogynists? Just a genre predominantly made up of Black men. Okay.

White people who listen to rock music and say they don’t like how rap is derogatory to women need to reevaluate their life choices.

Just think about how sometimes at night, Spock prime sits down at night with his cup of tea or whatever and chuckles lightly to himself

they have to go get the whales

i’m so glad it’s not just me who assumes that he does this

do you think he also does this about stuff like Spock’s Brain

when honesty is dark and brutal - and this is not always; honesty can be uplifting and joyful and purifying - but the flipside of that is that;
because the world is not softened to the honest, it is full of sharp edges and sharper truths. because they won’t lie about the world or themselves or others; they see clear-eyed all the brightness and the darkness and can have a razor-sharp understanding of reality that they will not hold back; they will not be deluded by illusion or fancy, by emotional fog or denial or false-hope. because they will tell what they see, be it good or bad or brutal, they may see truth in evil or the evil in the palatable fictions, and the essential moral greyness of the world.

Why you should be in passionate horny love with Elizabeth ‘Nellie Bly’ Cochrane
Born in 1864/65, Elizabeth, one of 15 children, was always ‘the rebellious one’. Fierce as fuck from an early age, she testified against her abusive stepfather in her mother’s divorce trial.
In 1880 she enrolled in a teacher-training college but had to leave after her first semester due to lack of funding - then moved to Pittsburgh to help run a goddamn boarding school. 
This is where we get to the good shit. Age 18, she wrote a letter-to-the-editor of the Pittsburgh Dispatch bitchslapping the everloving fuck out of a sexist ballsack of an article entitled ‘What Girls Are Good For’. 
The editor was so goddamn wooed by her razor-sharp tongue that he RAN AN AD asking her to identify herself. Elizabeth owned up, and was hired instantaneously, her badassery radiating from her pores and intoxicating all within a twenty mile radius.
Working under the pen-name Nellie Bly, Elizabeth kicked the butts of morons everywhere, writing articles aimed at social justice, particularly labour laws to protect working ‘girls’ and reform of Pennsylvania’s divorce law, which greatly favoured men.
Not content with changing the world from behind her desk, Elizabeth became a founding mother of investigative journalism. She was expelled from Mexico for exposing political corruption, and henceforth wrapped in cotton wool by her editors. Infuriated by their mollycoddling, Lizzie left them a note essentially telling them to fuck themselves and hot footed it to NYC. She was still only 23.
Within six months she was hired by Joseph fucking Pulitzer himself, and continued her batshit crazy investigations uninhibited. Her very first assingment had her feigning mental illness to expose repulsive conditions in Blackwell’s Island Insane Asylum. Her cutting report was so fucking horrifying, compelling and persuasive that it triggered public and political action, leading to reform of the institution.
In the next couple of years she had herself thrown in jail and hired by a sweatshop, all for shits and giggles. Oh, and to uncover incomprehensible injustice, cruelty, poverty, and the concealed, heinous treatment of the vulnerable and voiceless. 
But was pioneering journalism, social revolution and batshit badassery enough for our Liz? Like fuck it was. On a whim Nellie did what any self-respecting 25 year old woman in the 1800s would do - she emulated Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days, and did it in 72.
Millions followed her journey, and its appeal to a semi-literate populace resulted in greatly increased newspaper readership. So while travelling the entire globe (IN THE 1800s, AS A WOMAN) by ship, train, burro and balloon, she helped the world to read.
Having essentially conquered the entire goddamn universe before hitting 30, Nellie retired, and wed 72 year old industrialist Robert Seaman. Their marriage was a happy one, and after his death she took over Iron Clad Manufacturing Co.
But Lizzie was a writer, what would she know about the metal industry? Well, she INVENTED the steel barrel that became the model for the widely used 55-gallon drum and turned her inherited businesses into multimillion-dollar companies, so apparently a fuck ton.
Furthermore, she set a precedent for working conditions, ensuring her workers had good pay, gymnasiums, staffed libraries, and health care, all completely unheard of at the time, while still writing to further the plight of the Suffragette movement.
Nellie may have died age 58 of pneumonia, but HBICs live on forever.
