The infanticide was historically accurate.
But yeah - the way that the film portrays the treatment of disabled people is especially gross. Pay attention to who is in the court of Xerxes - the acceptance of disabled bodies is presented as akin to the sort of “decadence” of these evil Persians. (If a necromancer brought Edward Said back to life to watch 300, it would probably kill him again.)
The movie is basically a Triumph of the Will for Spartans and torture for anyone who’s actually researched Greek history (Leonidus calling the Athenians “boy lovers” is teeth gritting, part of a Spartan education was getting fucked by older men…)

Did anyone walk away from that movie thinking “this is an unreliable narrator story and we shouldn’t take the fash-y elements at face value” or was it “damn Spartans are bad ass”?

Benny (“having a wet pussy is a sign of an infection, according to my doctor wife”) is just jealous of anyone who can pull off an acting career.

On the Synder track, 300 is just a really uncomfortable movie. It’s a propaganda movie for a hell-state.
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 6 days ago:
Do you have any advice for coping with the discomfort?
I didn’t take the saline/get blood returned to me because it started burning. Which is fine, my doc has suggest therapeutic blood draws to deal with occasionally high hemocrit anyway.
But ugh…. The entire experience was really uncomfortable and icky. I’m debating on whether it’s worth going back, but damn if I didn’t enjoy having having a steak and a beer with the money after.

Have you heard of 996? It’s shorthand for a common work schedule in China: 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week
So a typical American teacher’s schedule?

Someone has to have done some kind of project where they pulled data for how much porn there is of each Pokémon.
I want to see a graph.

Imagine if Eichman had access to memes.
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 1 week ago:
Yeah - as a result of the investigation I read 10 years ago which has mysteriously disappeared from the internet, there was a push to force employers to also offer direct deposit.
I remember around the same time being pressured at Kohls to use the damn pay card.
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 1 week ago:
Pay cards are pretty popular among a lot of employers.
I know I read a ProPublica article about how fucked they are a while back, but both DDG and Google don’t seem interested in helping me find it…
But yeah, a lot of big retail/fast food places will pressure you into taking your pay as a pay card. These pay cards usually charge you for things like checking your balance or using an ATM.
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 1 week ago:
Another thing I noticed is that you can’t donate if you are on PREP or PEP. The info screen says that you shouldn’t discontinue those meds to donate - but if you are in the situation where you need food, what’s the choice going to be there?
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 1 week ago:
It’s really amazing how expensive being poor is.
I pay interest on my credit card loans, I pay late fees on things like electricity and my internet. The interest and late fees and all that other shit would be enough to start saving up for home.
Gas station food and energy drinks are expensive as shit, but sometimes when you are working two jobs you just want a fucking slice of pizza and enough caffeine to make it through the next shift.
I can at least manage my apartment, and can pick up a third job once school starts up again - but being in these places where I see people who are poorer than me and lack the ability to understand how to navigate the world - who don’t have a college education/the ability to read/the ability to speak English - what kind of sick and evil world is this?
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 1 week ago:
Yeah - that’s what I found dystopian about it. That someone would be desperate enough to come back the next day to try again.

- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 1 week ago:
They made the physics and chemistry tests even easier in the past couple years.
When I took the chemistry test - I hadn’t even really studied chemistry. Just two semesters in undergrad, never took organic. Didn’t know what hydrogen bonding was. I just marathoned the Crash Course YouTube series - I hadn’t ever wanted to teach chemistry, but the school decided that they were going to make me teach it and emergency certify me for it. I figured that would mess with my student loan forgiveness incentives, so took the test to be legit.

Department head at one of the schools I worked at was a creationist Bible college graduate.
He would compliment students for choosing to not wear masks in 2021.

I’m not the drag queen - I was referring to a different individual - a case that should have been picked up by the media but wasn’t.
I am trans.
I think the answer to your question is that a drag queen is really their personality when they are in drag.
- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 1 week ago:
My student loans are about to come due.
It’s all but illegal for me to teach here. And I can’t get out. I’m so sick of being alive.
- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 1 week ago:
There was a principal at Western Heights (iirc) who did drag on the weekends. No one knew. He was a great principal, had excellent performance reviews, was loved by his community.
Ryan Walters showed up to the school every day to tell them to fire him. And they did.
Ryan Walters is also gay himself. Everyone in the community knows this. He’s a chicken shit human, who helped write the evil woke social science standards, before he decided to have a political career.

And I love teaching autistic kids. Please put me in a group of autistic children. I would absolutely fucking love to teach science to a group of autistic children.
But I am transgender, so I can’t. I don’t count as a human being where I live. Nothing would make me happier than spending all day teaching chemistry and physics but I can’t.
- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 1 week ago:
I will qualify that I struggled with the mild/moderate test (still passed but had to study) because it was quite literally incorrect about ASD. But Oklahoma is mostly about torturing autistic kids anyway.
