The Chained Library of Zutphen

I took these pictures during a visit to the 16th-century chained library of Zutphen, in the east of the Netherlands. It is one of three such libraries still in existence in Europe. Nothing much has changed here for 550 years.

Hey, guys!  So, we’re all familiar with Cyberpunk and Steampunk, but there are so many more alternate histories/speculative science fiction genres out there!  I came across this handy-dandy infographic and figured I could share a bit of these punk genres for anyone interested.

• Steampunk
  Roughly covers the Western world during the mid- to late-19th century (ie:  Victorian era, US wild west, etc.), and sometimes up to the Edwardian era.
• Dieselpunk
  1920s up through WWII, ending at just about the Cold War.
• Decopunk
  A cleaner, artistic, more “optimistic” version of Dieselpunk (same time period)
• Clockpunk
  Covers the time of the Renaissance (think da Vinci)
• Atompunk
  Cold War era, ie: the Space Race
• Teslapunk
  Derivative of Steampunk, but focuses on electricity rather than steam.
• Splatterpunk
  Explicit horror and gore
• Biopunk
  Biotechnology, genetics (part science fiction, part real life)
• Nanopunk
  Nanotechnology, sometimes overlaps with Biopunk
• Cyberpunk
  The granddaddy of them all:  computer technology, the internet, hackers, etc. 

Others not included in the infographic

• Elfpunk
  Fantasy-based, features creatures like elves and fairies.
• Mythpunk
  Mythology and folklore, includes urban fantasy.
• Seapunk?
• Stonepunk, Bronzepunk, Plaguepunk

But mannerpunk also. ;__;

somehow I don’t think my priorities with this show are the same as other people’s priorities

Wow they literally pulled this out of the depths of their ass

see u say that but never at any point did it actually come into contact with my sphincter, or any other section of my lower digestive tract

have you ever noticed how tumblr caps the shit out of dudes making eye contact, accessorized with comic sans, and fandom receives it like the fucking illuminated manuscript guide to shipping, replete with hosannahs of “canon!” and “GAYYYY!”,  instilled with the self-evident superiority of all m/m ships because male desire is threaded with such heavy visibility in the concomitant spheres of modern textual production and reception networks, because male agency is saturated with such cultural weight it bleeds into remix culture, into fucking fandom, which is a predominantly female and non-male space, because it’s not enough that we shift without protest into “queer” spaces—male and cis and always, always whiter than milk—in between dominant narratives that bolster the hero and use women for his betterment, for his growth, for his ultimate stepping stone to glory and redemption and we cheer, we don’t even notice we’re stepping on ourselves because STOP THE WORLD MEN ARE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER THIS IS IT THIS IS THE QUEER WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR

and women shake hands, share a glance, an infinitesimal mark in the overarching narrative, subsumed beneath male agency and male drive and male desire and all that we invest therein, male sexuality—something fierce, something sharp and hard and forbidden and women, women are soft (I know, I’ve read femslash) and safe, supportive until they’re not, until they find the wanting in themselves,the desire, the agency,and then they’re usually dead and so

and so

a woman looks at another woman, I didn’t pick up on that, isn’t that funny, such a crack pairing

they literally pulled this out of the depths of their ass
