That’s a fair point.

I’m still going to celebrate the gays.

If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that putting emphasis on the “Gay” description is reductive?

I don’t necessarily disagree, but headlines need to be short, capture attention and accurately summarize the content of the article. I think this headline succeeds in all these aspects.

Also it’s worth noting that this cruise was chartered by a company that advertises itself as specialising in gay & LGBTQ+ holiday packages. I doubt anyone taking part in this cruise would object to it being described as gay.

To me headline highlights the intersectionality and solidarity shown when of one group of historically oppressed people (refugees) is rescued by another historically oppressed group (gay people).

The fact that the rescuers were from a gay cruise doesn’t make their actions inherently more special than if they were from any other kind of cruise, but there’s an importance in having positive media portrayal for LGBTQIA+ folks when the current political climate in many countries is turning more towards intolerance and oppression of queer people again.

Would you say it’s your greatest egret?

Why would the fact that it’s gay put a bad light on it?

Hah someone on the post I cross-posted this from said the same thing 😂

Does this mean there might be a possibility of an Excession adaptation if all goes well? 🥹

I’m not sure how you’d go about adapting that, but I love that book so much.

Isn’t this is exactly the outcome Trump and Musk want though 😕

If these departments can no longer function because there aren’t any capable employees it gives Trump’s administration the excuse to replace those institutions with new ones that are directly accountable to him.

It’s admirable that the people who have resigned did so because they don’t want any part in what’s happening, but I don’t think it counts as uplifting news 😢

The only minus to this is that the bass on this is so heavy I have to crank it up until the windows rattle to get the full audio image.

Sounds like this is working as intended! 😂

Yeah I’d like to avoid that import tax if I can. And same, I’d love World Coming Down on vinyl! I’ll finally find out if the legend of “Skip It” being different across the different formats is true.

Great taste! I’ve been hunting for this version, it looks wonderful.

Same

Das Experiment.

Genuinely one of the most unsettling films I’ve ever watched.

I think the majority consensus is that none of the Gospels were written by contemporaries of Jesus, and they were edited and changed up to 200 years after his death.

Yes! I love Test Dept., SPK etc. Lately I’ve been listening a lot to Pharmakon and Uboa, who I feel are doing a great job of carrying on that style.

Care to share the recipe? 😊

I get you, but I think it’s still a good thing that they’ve committed to this amount, regardless of how much their net worth is. It’s better than nothing and with regards to Chappell Roan, I really get the impression that she puts the effort and the work in to lift people up. I think that’s worth celebrating.
