post is referring i believe to controversy re Little Mermaid... but I can't be too sure... I'm not much of a Disney guy and don't pay too much attention to the little flare ups around their movies :-)
I'm going to hunt it down. Is Freydis Ericksdottir somehow worked into it? Love those badass Viking woman warriors. I have had a thing for Scandinavian films since I was a very little girl and saw the 1959 Russo-Finnish "Sampo" ("The Day the Earth Froze") based on the Lemminkainen legends. I'm sure you know it. I could swear that it was called "The Day the Witch Stole the Sun" back then.
Liv Ullman slowly spirals down into a deep depression and considers killing herself but decides, instead, to kill the Baxter and Rojo families while wearing a poncho and smoking a cigarillo.
Now that's a movie that would actually make me drag myself to the theater.
Last time I haunted such a place was when my wife and I and couple of friends all dressed up in style and thematically correct clothes for the Tom of Finland biopic some what five-six years or so ago.
Oh, if you're not familiar with the name Tom of Finland, be advised that his works are severly NSFW.
This will be a *very* intersectional and diverse remake. John Wolfe, Pocahontas's husband, will be played by Karine Jean-Pierre, and the Pilgrims will be played by members of the Black Hebrew Israelites, while the Native Americans will be depicted as Caucasian, to show what *should* have happened: POC colonizing whites. If history offends our post-modern sensibilities, the best response is to rewrite history.
Kinda sorta funny that movie theatres, screens, projectors, film, cameras, editing machines 'n such just magically appeared 100+ yrs ago, and the technology increased each decade. Certainly whytey had nuthin' to do wit' it. Or cars, or planes, or trains, or roads, rails ... and the list goes on. Did I say that? I will, of course, deny it.
Well she looks right ready to dance around the totem pole, if you know what I mean.

More like I'm winding down while tending the kitchen stove and making supper, but I take the compliment with gratitude. :)
You know, the usual out-doors labour this season. Picking damsons, got so rich harvest I had to make supports for the tree, not that I'm complaining. Digging up potatoes and swedes to put away for winter. Helping a neighbour find his dog that had gone walkabout in the forest - it being buck hunting season here right now didn't help matters, but since one of my dogs is in heat, well the male runaway quickly found us.
The word Kaffepunch makes me crave punsch, punschrolls, and punschpralines.
For some unfathomable reason, "punschrulle" has a wikipedia entry: punsch-roll. They're nicknamed "dammsugare" (vacuum cleaners) due to the original version being made out of what the pastry baker could sweep up from the days work..
And you can easily eat a pound of them without realising, they're that delicious.
If you start on Scandinavian pastries...oh dear I am in trouble. The cheapest butter out here in California is $7.49 a pound. The good stuff will run you $13. I'm not kidding.
My plum trees had a great year, too, had to put up supports. I gave them away by the bagful, air-dried many for prunes, and made plum chutney with ginger and plum jam. Some of the runoff was boiled down into plum syrup with honey added, nice for pancakes and Dutch Baby. Do you have the tradition of Kaffepunch, with the coin added to the cup? I wish I could grow swedes.
Very glad to hear the dog succumbed to the oldest of lures and was safely found. When my dog was alive I always tied a bright red bandana around his neck during deer season. He never ran off under any circumstances, but it never hurts to be extra-careful, some hunters being all too fond of punsch with their morning coffee...
Kaffepunch is called kaffekask here. Kask is an older word for helmet, police or military style. It was borrowed from french casque and spanish casca some 500 years or so ago, and we never gave it back.
The thing with the coin in the bottom of a mug is an old working-class thing, mostly connected with certain subcultures nowadays, such as raggare (sort of greasers), and it's supposed to be moonshine you pour, not "waterdamaged" (a slang term for alcohol bought from the state monopoly).
$7.49/pound comes to about 45:-/kilo, so your butter is approximately 15% more expensive. And we pay 25% VAT on most goods to boot.
Since you mention pastries and such things, I just have to mention a perennial favourite of mine: Mums-mums (literally meaning Yum-yum). Egg white foam whipped to semi-hard consistency squirted on top of a wafer and then given a molten chocolate cover before being flash-frozen:
It's one of those "lethal" goodies where you happily munch away, your hand and mouth acting without the brain being notified and all of a sudden you feel like you've swallowed a bowling ball of meringue.
I get it, I'm at Step One with meringue. It's just too easy, as you say. I try to stay away from Trader Joe's at holiday time. Those mum-mums look positively deadly.
I guess if this is true they’ll be remaking Little Mermaid/merman… Beauty/Bronny and the Beast… I mean we are living in virtual reality so sky’s the limit!!!
Yes, they have to remake every movie to include their woke ideology!
I still enjoy watching most movies though, because you can catch a lot of the hidden in plain site and predictive programming etc. I love watching older movies now that I'm awake to see movies through a different mindset.
indeed it did... they had to pull it offline (or as much as they could) within a day or two of its release due to tons of complaints about "cultural appropriation"
Reminds me of the mermaid tail for cats they had at the pet store, I thought the cat that gets this tail is really going to hate the owner, unless they're used to dress up or laying around all day. I always wanted a mermaid tail as a kid, then they came out with them for kids now that I'm an adult. Why don't they come in adult sizes?
Being both Caucasian and Native American, its was always so difficult as a child trying to decide whether I wanted to be a cowboy or an Indian, and as a grown up, trying to figure out just how to coach my child into hating 3/4 of their genetics.
Give it time, it's early days. I'm waiting for the bioflick about Emily Bronte's true identity, which will show us the real meaning of "I AM Heathcliff!".
I seriously cannot understand why not. If you told a little black girl she can’t dress up like Elsa, you’d be a massive bigot. But telling little white girls they can’t wear a moana wig is a okay! 👌🏻
I cannot tell if this is real or a meme. You’ve ruined me.
gatito bueno hasn’t ruined you…. The left’s total insanity has made it impossible to tell fact from delusion!
Word!
Truth. Beyond insanity.
Yep. What you said!!
It is a still from a No Doubt video a few years ago that got cancelled called "Looking Hot"
post is referring i believe to controversy re Little Mermaid... but I can't be too sure... I'm not much of a Disney guy and don't pay too much attention to the little flare ups around their movies :-)
So in the name of diversity is the mermaid a trans frog finding his/her/their etc etc true identity?
Thanks. I needed that explanation. Malwarebytes is blocking Google today. (And DuckDuckGo is harder to use.)
Too bad they can't do some work on her voice.
If that's your genre of choice, you might enjoy watching Hrafninn Flýgur (When the Raven Flies).
It is a man-goes-questing-to-avenge-his-family-type of movie, giving off the same vibes as Leone's westerns.
But in Iceland, with vikings.
Where does one find this ?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087432/
This will show you the title in swedish (Korpen flyger), but I'm fairly certain you could find a subtitled version on IMDB.
There's also a sequel called í skugga hrafnsins (Shadow of the Raven), also on IMDB.
As I don't use any movie-services onine, I can't really help more than that I'm afraid.
Thank you!
Korpen is raven in Swedish? Interesting, must be from the Latin "corvus".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3ELkvW6dYY
Oh, thank you! I couldn't get anything but Hungarian subtitles!
https://norseplay.blogspot.com/2021/01/watch-when-raven-flies.html
According to above link, it's on YouTube subtitled in Hungarian--but we can set to autotranslate in English...
That dudes eyeballs about to fly outta their sockets, tho...
Thank you! I felt a right berk there not being better able to help find a place to watch it.
We shall! Good sluething!

all this sounds so cool.
My fav revenge film is Ms 45
My favourite for a different type of revenge try "Manon des sources" (Jean de Florette II)
But of course, watch the first movie Jean de Florette first.
French with subtitles (unless you speak French)
I wonder if it's on Prime?
With subtitles? I'm in!
subtitles?
Cool
Cool
Nordichontas? Better than dragqueenstoryhourhontas.
I can see it now.

There are so many spiritual links between Scandinavia and the Wild West. I guess I just never realized...

Good one 👍
Ooo those are fun!!
Poe's Law is now a rule, not an exception.
Haha had to look that up. So true!!!!
No way that would've been green lit, esp not with Disney
Maybe if she was a letter person.....LGBTQWERTY+×÷=#
I self identify as a +×÷=#.
Hahaha!
Kitty is just being coy. The full movie poster shows John Smith, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor. Disney takes the long road with their agitprop.
Is that Liz Warren's daughter?
Lmao
More like her granddaughter.
Yes. Her name is Whatahotmess.
It's Gwen Stefani.
Bwaaahaha
: )
OMG! NICE!

Brilliant!
Obviously, she identifies as native.
This whole post is hate speech.
Yes, and who are we to question how she identifies. We are mere peasants remember? 🤣🤣
+ 10 to your SCS (social credit score). Chairman Xi approves of this post.
I identify as black. --- I figured changing your background heritage was going to be an up and commer soon, so I started early. 🤨😶
p.s. /s
I am really dumb, where is the hate speech? I appreciate your time to educate me in hate speech
Sarcasm, it's not just for breakfast without coffee anymore.
You've just made my day. I salute you.
I live to serve! Lol
If you don't see it, you are the problem. Too late for you!!
Good day Carol,
as i mentioned I am dumb, slow. Now what do we do with all the people in the world like me? As I and they are the problem. What do we do?
Lots of options, comrade! Want to go for the jab as a first step?
I am slow and dumb, not stupid. I hope that helps.
Well she looks right ready to dance around the totem pole, if you know what I mean.

Can I appropriate VSbP?
Feel free - appropriate away!
I shall... I'm wondering if I should be using Munchausen by Proxy as my template. Seems legit.
I just steal them! But I do attribute. Usually.
Rikard, my friend, are you getting a jump on the equinox with a kaffepunch this morning, perhaps? You're on a roll, sir.

"Waterdamaged" is hilarious.
Miscultural appropriation? I'm bad at using their words.
I'd like to see the pageant Miss Cultural Appropriation.
Turn it around - "cultural misappropriation" - politically correct theft. An art form in congress.
We are all getting good at corkscrew-thinking, aren't we? Pity the woke when the instinct for making pretzels of their "logic" becomes widespread.
Oh! My mind is reeling.
MScultural appropriation, please!
ZheCultural appropriation, you bigot!
How dare you (they/them/ziz/su/x/zem) assume my appropriation!
The hate speech is EVERYWHERE
Looks like a Halloween costume from one of those stores that pops up for two months and then disappears back into the mist of corporate capitalism.
Except in Vegas and Mexico.
How about "12 years a Slav"?
OMG. cracking me up
ROFLMAO! That's very good.
I guess if this is true they’ll be remaking Little Mermaid/merman… Beauty/Bronny and the Beast… I mean we are living in virtual reality so sky’s the limit!!!

it is amazing how that video got disappeared from the main interwebs... but still avail on vimeo :-)
https://vimeo.com/52770103
Oh! I see now! A No Doubt video. Bet that went over like a lead zeppelin
Damn. You're feeling Salty today
🙂
indeed it did... they had to pull it offline (or as much as they could) within a day or two of its release due to tons of complaints about "cultural appropriation"
Thanks for the info
They certainly made is disappear
Lol Might not be appropriation at all, my Apache granma told me( long ago) “ sometimes we throw a ginger” when I asked why my sister had red hair.
I'm about to join the fest, too: https://ratsays.substack.com/p/mermaid
Very good, Ratty. Looks like lunch for my cats!
Reminds me of the mermaid tail for cats they had at the pet store, I thought the cat that gets this tail is really going to hate the owner, unless they're used to dress up or laying around all day. I always wanted a mermaid tail as a kid, then they came out with them for kids now that I'm an adult. Why don't they come in adult sizes?
«mermaid tail for cats» sounds like an epitome of «cruel and unusual punishment».
Oh they do. I know a classmate who is part of that little subculture. Treat yo self! 🧜🏼♀️
Thanks Stephanie!
truth in meme
Being both Caucasian and Native American, its was always so difficult as a child trying to decide whether I wanted to be a cowboy or an Indian, and as a grown up, trying to figure out just how to coach my child into hating 3/4 of their genetics.
Now I know you can have it all!!
I think it's kinda sexist that Pocahontas is always cis female.
Give it time, it's early days. I'm waiting for the bioflick about Emily Bronte's true identity, which will show us the real meaning of "I AM Heathcliff!".
Should have used Tannis from letterkenny 🤣
If queen Elizabeth can be black I assume poccahontas can be Nordic. I mean…why not?
I seriously cannot understand why not. If you told a little black girl she can’t dress up like Elsa, you’d be a massive bigot. But telling little white girls they can’t wear a moana wig is a okay! 👌🏻
