in chinese the word used for spears,枪(qiāng), is used to also refer to firearms. 枪 is one of the four major weapons, also referred to as 'the king of weapons'. one of the four major weapons is pronounced as either 'gùn' or 'bàng' and it's not this one. near-miss

one time when i was 17-18 i posted a jenny holzer “men don’t protect you anymore” thing on instagram and my friends boyfriend (who was a weird fucking guy who made a big show about supporting “feminist art” but didn’t know jenny holzer lol) at the time sent me a DM soooo mad at me and called me a sexist and that people like me were why nobody took feminism seriously and i just sent him the wikipedia page for jenny holzer and then sent a screenshot to his gf (an artist studying art history) and she was like “okay i was thinking about breaking up with him and this was the push i needed” so they broke up lol

Bright Light Bright Light featuring Mark Gatiss - Next To You 2020
Rod Thomas is a Welsh independent singer-songwriter, based in New York. He incorporates many elements of nu-disco into his music, also branching into synthpop, dance and house music. Two of his albums have reached the top 20 on the UK Independent Albums Chart. Thomas chose the stage name Bright Light Bright Light from a quote spoken by the character Gizmo in the 1984 movie Gremlins.
His fourth album Fun City was a number 1 UK Dance Album hit on its release in September 2020 receiving widespread critical acclaim, and it features a slew of LGBTQ+ talent adding their vocals. Actor/director/writer Mark Gatiss (known from Sherlock) added a spoken word piece on "Next To You". Thomas had previously worked with Gatiss by composing the theme tune for Gatiss's BBC4 series Queers, and appearing as an extra in Gatiss's tv series The League of Gentlemen.
"Next To You" received a total of 38,5% yes votes.

Things that work in fiction but not real life
torture getting reliable information out of people
knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour
jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact
calling the police to deescalate a situation
rafting your way off a desert island
correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes
effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else
ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences
heterosexual cowboy

There’s something about Roy’s specific kind of abandonment issues. A lot of other characters, they’ll distance themselves, they’ll stop themselves from getting attached, they’ll put up a wall and push people away. Roy? Generally speaking, he’s always open. He loves so easily, he’ll get attached to people so quickly. He puts himself out there, he gives his whole heart, and every time he’s hoping that this time he’ll be good enough for someone to stay, but every time he’s so scared that he won’t be good enough, that eventually they’ll leave. And every time he’s proven right. It’s Roy Harper’s tragedy. He’ll always lose the ones he loves, no matter how hard he tries. He’ll try and try and try, he’ll let people back into his life the second they ask, but they’ll always leave again. And in his mind, he’ll never be enough.

“Cut a chrysalis open, and you will find a rotting caterpillar. What you will never find is that mythical creature, half caterpillar, half butterfly, a fit emblem of the human soul, for those whose cast of mind leads them to seek such emblems. No, the process of transformation consists almost entirely of decay.”
— Pat Barker, Regeneration
