Gosh, someone probably already said this so much better than me, but I absolutely love what Fallout did with the character of Barb Howard. She's this sort of subversion of both the doting 1950s housewife and the archetype of the wife who dies as character motivation, and you think that's the direction the series is going, but then you get to see bits and pieces of her outside of her marriage to Cooper.

Like these archetypes, she loves her family fiercely, but that love pushes her into an active role, not a passive one, and is one that encourages her to distrust humanity. Throughout the series, there's this ambiguity as to how much she's being manipulated by Vault-Tech and how much she's an active power player, especially when she suggests dropping the bomb in the first place. Maybe a combination of both?

I don't know, I generally dislike comparisons between Fallout and The Last of Us, because they go in very different directions outside of the general concept of a Western set in the apocalypse. However, Joel Miller and Barb Howard both embody this idea of love pushing us to be selfish, not selfless. It's a neat reversal of the theme of love as a source of redemption, and more as a love that alienates us from the rest of humanity.

ALSO, the choice of costumes and color for Barb's wardrobe! She wears these soft pinks that eventually transition into oranges, both shades that feel conventionally feminine, yet vibrant and powerful. The contrast between her dress and the meeting room in episode 8! Thank you, Frances Turner for bringing this character to life! Thank you, Amy Westcott for the costumes!

I'm crawling up the walls for a scene of the separation and divorce in S2. I want Barb Howard to be waiting for her moment in one of those cryogenic chamber thingies. Still in a very cool 1950s dress.

THE RINGS OF POWER SEASON 2 EPISODE 8 (2022-) | LABYRINTH (1986)

Actor Johnathan Joss was just murdered for being gay. On the first day of pride 2025. He was best known for playing John Redcorn on King of the Hill.

I had no idea he was gay but he was married to a man named Tristan Kern de Gonzales (on valentines day 2025!)

They lived in San Antonio Texas where his family is from and he grew up. He was 59.

In Janurary 2025 his home was burned down which made news. It killed some of his beloved dogs. He didnt elaborate beyond he believed it was arson (gofundme is still up and i suggest donating to help his funeral costs and his husband

Now we know he and his husband had been threatened by several neighbors for being queer. They told pigs, pigs being pigs did nothing before or after it happened.

Yesterday Joss and his husband went to check their mailbox wherein they found one of their dogs skulls (statement from his husband

)

As they weeped and mourned in shock, a neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, came out and aimed at de Gonzales…but Hoss jumped in front of the bullet and was instantly killed.

Ceja, homophobia murdering coward, tried to take off but de Gonzales had called pigs who vaguely tried to do something. He was arrested and his bail set for $200k. Or as my sister said who the fuck sets bail for a murderer?

San Antonio.

De Gonzales is clearly mourning, posting pics on Hoss’ fb page. This one really struck me

This is why we need pride people, and not rainbow capitalism. Please donate to the gofundme and let san antonio cops knows what you think. De Gonzales said multiple neighbors had threatened them…id like to see those people investigated for arson.

Go into pride with rage and knowing. Have joy, kiss puppies, dont bow to homophobes. And maybe enjoy a little king of the hill.

there’s…so much to unpack here, it’s atrocious.

sorry to break it to them, but Nasrallah was a butcher and a terrorist in the most obvious definition of the word, and Hezbollah is a terrorist organization by every definition of that term, and that would remain true even if they had never fired a single rocket at Israel, because of all the other lives they’ve destroyed and helped to kill. I know these people are so lost in the Jew hatred that up is down and left is right, but I continue to be astounded at how little the other innocent lives of the region - across ethnicities, religions, and nationalities - mean to any of them. the betrayal of Syrians and Iranians is particularly galling here.

“I stand with the axis of resistance.” lady are you for real right now? you stand with the Islamic Republic and its proxies? is this idiocy, extreme white saviorism and Western privilege, what is going on

the Nazi flag on the TOTE BAG, that’s not even a SIGN, it’s a bag that had to be painted (printed? can’t tell) to include that.

the Marilyn Monroe sign is vile in so many ways, and I don’t know if they used her on purpose to take a jab at her conversion, or if they just thought they were being clever juxtaposing her with a serial abuser who grossly stole her name, idolizes and is obsessed with Nazi symbols and propaganda and associates with Neo-Nazis, but whatever the case, it’s repulsive. keep her name out of your mouths and her face off of your hate signs.

the rat is just unambiguous antisemitic imagery

the flag where the Magen David is a swastika but is also crossed out?

always incredible to see ancient medieval blood libel and Protocols of the Elders of Zion propaganda coexisting in the exact same rally. really proves the dedication to the cause to invoke the exact same worn out tropes that got Jews persecuted and slaughtered for centuries.

thanks for providing the illustrative examples yet again, London.

white queers are always so damned certain that "true" queerness is for them & them alone. expressions of queerness from Black people (most notably, Black women & those percieved as women) that don't center whiteness & aren't tailored for white audiences are always, always pegged as being unbelievable. all this plus a heaping dose of thay classic "all bi women are dirty attention seeking liars" brand of biphobia. fuck off man
