in m. night’s movie they replaced actual Chinese characters that were readily available and shown in literally every single episode with gibberish nonsense that is also high key ugly

here’s the link to the the OP

[tenaciousdecapitator]

They weren’t just inaccurate to the show, they went out of their WAY to be as inaccurate in general as possible. Dammit, M. Night.

[trilllizard666]

to be totally fair, I think a lot of that shit wasn’t his fault, but from what studio execs kept making him do until the point he finally just fucking gave up and clearly just sat back, tuned everything out, and started picking up a check

for one thing, Nicola Peltz 100% got the role because of nepotism and bypassed the audition process that everyone else had to go through, like Sokka, Aang, and Zuko’s actors had to go through

[canape-official]

Interviews and post mortems have pointed out that shyamalan is basically the only one in the staff that actually saw the show, as it was his kids’ favorite show, so basically shyamalan is why the movie is as accurate as it is

That scene in ramleela where ram takes some red gulal (coloured powder) and points at his head indicating sindoor and leela just rolls her eyes but then he smudges it on his lips and she gives him a look but then diving in to a small kiss at the corner of his lips so now it's smudged on her lips too and then just walks away with a wink?

I want every single one of you to stop scrolling and look at this photo:

Do you see that? That’s Sam holding his shield.

Now click on the photo and zoom in. Zoom in on his face, zoom in on the shield.

Take in the POWER of this photo because that is Captain America and I will not accept anyone saying otherwise. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Jane Elliot:

[edwinas]

It was an experiment she chose to do for extra credit and that lasted 2 ½ hours on a Saturday morning.

The most resistant participants were white women in both the US and UK versions. They were so blinded by the oppression they experience that it was unimaginable that they could still be racist against woc and moc. 

In the US version, there was the sobbing mess from the clip and another girl who completely missed the point. She asserted that some white folks, including her, have lived through much worse than racism, disregarding the different levels of racism, going from micro aggressions to colonialism, slavery and genocide. She downplayed racism and made it about herself and her agenda.

NATIONAL CALL TO ACTION TO SHUT DOWN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND ABOLISH ICE, JULY 12 2019!

On Friday July 12th, 2019, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps, will bring thousands of people to locations worldwide as well as to concentration camps across the country, into the streets and into their own front yards, to protest the inhumane conditions faced by refugees. 

At Trump’s concentration camps, teen mothers and babies are held outdoors in “dog pounds.” We have witnessed the sick and elderly confined to “icebox” rooms for weeks at a time. Unbelievably, children as young as 4 months are taken from their parents, medicine is confiscated, and medical care withheld, and LGBTQ and disabled individuals are held in solitary confinement.

Perhaps most terrifying, refugees are beginning to be moved onto military grounds, where there will be a lack of oversight from the media, lawyers, and human rights monitors.

“Now is the time for every person to stand up and say, ‘We will not accept this!’ No more hesitating. No more denial. No more fear. We need to be bold, and loud, and unrelenting. That’s the only way we can stop this.”

[scottishwobbly]

There are people drinking toilet water, sleeping standing up because there’s not enough room to lie down, living without toothpaste, soap, or medicines. There are children walking around in their own shit, disease is common and spreading fast. ICE have stopped updating their “list of death’s in ICE custody” page. They’re pushing to move these camps into military jurisdiction, so that there’s no more humanitarian oversight from lawyers, journalists, or politicians. After that happens, ICE will be able to do whatever they like with these people.

You cannot let it get to that stage. It is already so fucking late.

If you don’t riot, if you don’t take to the streets as a mass and tear down the fences, beat up the guards, and burn the detention centres, then America is destined to commit the most horrific atrocity in our lifetimes.

Every goddamn week white ppl post some disgusting, unprovoked shit

[ororomunroedontpullout]

And if poc were saying this people would call it abuse....

[slightlycrookedletters]

... they're talking about children, who need the whole soap and shampoo routine a lot less often than post puberty humans. The main purpose of baths in the pre puberty age range is to remove dirt and sweat or other debris, since children take a lot longer to stink or need to wash their hair. Being in a pool does that. I don't see how that could be considered abuse regardless of race.

Do they know......that you're not supposed to fucking leave chlorine on your skin even from a swimming pool?? Like aside from the whole "my kid basically stays clean by swimming in (very diluted) chlorine" issue and their kid not....fucking showering, do they know that you're supposed to shower after a swim to wash the fucking chlorine off??? Do. They. Know????????????

[purrseus-deactivated20191103]

Hey, former lifeguard here!

My partner is trained as a pool operator, and we both have pretty intimate knowledges of how pool filtering and operation works. Something, first off, to know is that pools are ABSOLUTELY filthy. Chlorine levels are severely impacted by dirt and debris (which is also why you absolutely must shower before you enter a pool) and the more dirty people in a pool, the more chlorine is bonded with that dirt and the lower the chlorine level gets. Other chemicals like bromine destabilize when they’re oxygenated (in this case, water movement oxygenates bromine) and that chemical is released, also throwing off pool chemicals. 

Dirt doesn’t magically disappear once you enter a chlorinated pool- it stays in there. I know you didn’t really want to think about all the sweat, urine, feces (because lets face it, kids are bad at wiping at traces remain on the body, coming off in the pool) and dirt you’ve been essentially swimming around in at every pool you’ve ever been to in your life, but that’s the truth of it. That’s why pool staff are adamant about shoes OFF on deck and people showering before you get in. 

Plus, I don’t trust people with pools in their backyards for ONE SECOND to be maintaining proper pool chemistry. All of these nasty ass parents are letting their kids sit in their filth for days on end. Above is correct- you HAVE to wash chlorine off. 

TL;DR : chlorine doesn’t fix everything, you have to shower before and after being in a swimming pool, and all these facebook parents are fucking disgusting.

Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.

Friendly reminder that GIMP does pretty much everything Photoshop does, and it’s 100% free. Fuck DRM and the license culture, we have plenty of open source options available to us as a consumer.

Lightworks is a freeware video editor on par with Premiere

Blender is an excellent freeware 3D renderer,possibly better than After Effects

Lightzone to replace Lightroom

Inkscape to replace Illustratr

Audacity to replace Audition (I also received a free version of Pro Tools with my Scarlett Solo audio interface)

If Adobe is going to be greedy shitheads, then fuck ‘em. Don’t use their stuff. Freeware can be just as good, if not better, than Adobe CC.

PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS:

there are several posts going around about how to best help if you witness an ICE raid/arrest as a (white) citizen. many of them are filled with extremely bad, LARP-y advice such as screaming at agents and getting physically close to them. in most cases, this is just going to make things worse for everyone at risk (including yourself). you need to stay calm, and avoid getting someone accused of resisting arrest.

to be clear: most of these fascists dont care about the law. “illegal” is not a magic word you can say to make them stop. and, being a white citizen is not an impenetrable shield. you can still be arrested, so be prepared for that. you are, however, less likely to be arrested, and MUCH less likely to be killed or held extralegally.

here is what you should actually do to help:

record, and make sure your phone auto-backups to a cloud. streaming can be problematic because its best to have lawyers look over the footage first. be aware they might also grab your phone, even without a warrant. if they’re grabbing it out of your hands, try to lock it. make sure you have a pin lock, not pattern or fingerprint. here’s some other ways to protect your phone from cops.

if you are able to film, and have determined it won’t escalate the situation, make it obvious you are doing so, because secretly recording is illegal in several states. narrate any violation of rights you see. here is a Q&A about filming ICE.

stay several feet back from agents, because they can claim you’re impeding them. if you’re recording and they claim this, take several steps back, and announce it as you’re doing so, if you’re filming.

ask if they are free to go, if someone is being approached. if ICE insists on the person asking for themself, and they speak spanish*, tell them “por favor repita: ‘am i free to go?’” (this just means “please repeat”) if the agent says yes, tell them “usted puede dejar”. if not..

calmly inform people of their rights if they are being arrested. they do not have to speak at all to agents, answer any questions without a lawyer, or sign anything. they do have to show their paperwork if they have it, but do NOT have to hand over the paperwork/passport, or consent to a search of themselves/belongings, without a judicial warrant (not administrative! here’s the difference). it is crucial that they give as little information as possible to ICE.

if you speak spanish, list their rights in spanish as well, and translate what the agents are saying. if not, keep the google translate app on your phone – it’s not perfect, but it’s quick/accessible and can download languages for offline use. you can also memorize this sentence: “no tiene que responder/dar su consentimiento” - “you dont have to respond/consent”

get their lawyer’s contact info, if they have one and are being taken away by ICE. many people carry a card with emergency contact info on it, including childcare info and loved ones, so you can offer to call those numbers for them.

call for legal help. do not call the ACLU or other big organizations for immediate help, call your local immigration help center (for New York State, contact IDP at 212-725-6422. for California, call the TRUST hotline at 844-878-7801). United We Dream is an immigrant-lead organization that provides aid nationwide, and can be reached at 844-363-1423. please save these numbers in your phone!

know the ICE rapid response network in your town, and keep their number on hand. if there isn’t one close to you, here’s how to make one.

finally, here are some useful toolkits:

comprehensive ICE response guide

know your rights posters for in-home raid readiness, community flyers, and informative videos

ACLU videos explaining what to do in various situations with ICE

*of course not every immigrant speaks spanish; people from south america are being targeted en masse right now, but may speak many indigenous languages as well as portuguese. so ask if you dont know what language someone speaks, and see if google translate can help.
