Spin the wheel.

You have been offered a full-ride scholarship to get a four-year degree in this field, specifically. Upon graduation, you will be guaranteed a job in this field at the 75th percentile of average salary for the field, with the possibility of further advancement as the years go on.

However, you will never be able to get a job in any other field.

Do you take the offer?

100% yes!

Probably yes

I’m honestly torn, this is a hard choice

Probably not

Absolutely fucking not

Random other option for people who want to ramble in the tags

“Women are warm and nurturing and they have powerful intuitions!” is benevolent sexism. Benevolent sexism upholds misogyny by praising women for things women are “supposed” to be good at and romanticizing roles women are “supposed” to play under a patriarchal system.

Also, like, benevolent sexist stereotypes are definitely used to make those who don’t fit them feel like failures as women (especially queer women/trans women/woc/neurodivergent women/etc).

And on the flip side, they’re also used to deny women who are skilled at those things credit for their accomplishments. It’s easy for people to dismiss an excellent childcare worker when her “~magical gender intuition makes her naturally good at it~”.

“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

-Ursula K Le Guin

not written from an indigenous perspective per s but i really liked this article (‘It’s All an Indian Burial Ground’: Folk Horror Cinema’s Reckoning with Colonial Violence)

you may have found this before, although i didn’t see anyone mention it in the notes, but a glossary of haunting by eve tuck and c. ree is available for free, a piece by two indigenous scholars about american horror and colonization. i have come back to it frequently since the first time i read it.

Tim Curry and Miss Piggy’s ill-fated affair during the making of Muppet Treasure Island Part 2.

Click here for Part 1.

a block of text. the important part reads:  I also have a fondness for Miss Piggy, who's quite a seductive girl. She's always funny, and never boring. Although I did say at the outset that I wouldn't speak about any of my romantic relationships, I will say that Miss Piggy and I had quite a good time together, both on set and in our trailers. Fortunately, our dalliances never led to any tension with Kermit—I was clever about it.

The thing about the moon is maybe you don’t need to write a poem about the moon. The moon’s been done, we’ve discussed it. It’s a coin a mirror an eye a lantern in the darkness. It’s a rock in space. It’s the dang moon we’ve all seen it! Is there something you can notice that’s is more surprising than the moon???
