Colorized!

All Victorian ADULTS. Awesome.

[atlinmerrick]

I love this so much. Someone slowed it down so it's not the old-fashioned herky-jerky of old films, now someone colorized it…the past feels like the present because, well, people. Lookit them having fun! *beams at everyone*

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[tyrograph]

Cab Calloway and the Nicholas brothers! I don't think I've ever seen the colorized version of this before!

[bunsunbunny]

I haven't seen it in color either! It's a fantastic dance scene!!

[sashayed]

one of many things i love about this scene and the nicholas brothers generally is that you get both astaire and kelly every time, like you get harold grinning like a loon having the most fun ever captured on camera and then fayard who is so smooth and elegant with it that he almost retreats into the background UNTIL you realize how much he's doing and how quietly pleased he seems to be about it

[ktempestbradford]

Shoutout to the sax player on the right when they jump up on the musician's podiums. You can tell the director told them all to play and "ignore" the brothers because most of them are. But Mr. Right Side Sax Man is very much not ignoring them and you know it's because he got kicked in the head during rehearsals and isn't about to let that happen again despite promises that they Got This.

That’s Deep Blue, they think she’s the biggest white shark ever filmed

[saidinsilence-deactivated201701]

Of course it’s a girl. She’s beautiful and I’ll keep my hands inside the cage at all times

[birb-bian]

I…I love her.

[whiskey-and-c41]

My daughter is beautiful and strong.

[pomo-phobic-blog]

her dorsal fin is longer than a full grown adult but I in all my 5'2" glory still wants to protect her

[it-grrl]

I am, I believe, the reasonable amount of scared of sharks that a smart soft mammal should be, but I definitely just said “whos a big pretty girl” at the screen. Thank you, tumblr, for reminding me that things I’m afraid of are beautiful too.

[fieryartemispublications]

So I got curious and look this giant up and found this picture of the diver high fiving her as she passed.  According to the article, not only is Deep Blue big but in the picture she’s super pregnant too.

So you could say that she is the… *Greatest* White Shark?

DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY 

[jackharknessday]

I can back this up. It isn’t only their shelters.

I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.

My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.

Do not give to the Salvation Army.

[gayfeatherfiend]

Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army

[rab-it-deactivated20231030]

My turn.

I’m a wildfire and disaster logistics specialist.

I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.

I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.

They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.

Then I found out.

Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.

Don’t FUCKING give to the Salvation Army.

[knight-of-vengeance-deactivated]

The Salvation Army is also ass to the workers. A good number of people join it, naively thinking that it’s doing good, and end up leaving cynical and beaten down. The management is hostile, if not outright abusive, and demand some ridiculous hours of it lower to mid-level staff. Don’t support these people.

[fisharescary802]

Unsettling update

[oldearthaccretionist]

Find better local charities and shelters and give to them instead!

[moonybyte]

Also just for even more horrific context on the original twitter thread?

Salvation Army reached out to Milknmuffins and asked what shelter she’s at with the promise to address the abuse in it. She…ended up saying where she was. She was thrown out onto the street. It’s also all on Twitter.

They invited her to a personal talk so she could explain the situation in person.

And then they threatened her with a screenshot of a rape-threat made supposedly by her:

And then threw her out into the street while claiming she broke house rules that

So yeah, the Salvation Army is a bunch of entitled assholes that will treat the most vulnerable like shit if they dare try to do anything that makes them look bad

[supernovafirefly]

The “Fuck Salvation Army” posts are making the rounds again, so conisder this your reminder: Do. Not. Give. These. Assholes. A. Single. Fucking. Penny.

Do not support them in any way, shape, or form.

[eagletrekkie]

‘Tis the season to say FUCK the Salvation Army.

Oh hey, this is interesting (but a year old, idk if anything has changed):
