This man deserves everything let him he happy

rikzpt-deactivated20191229

Ok… This is what happened to Fraser

-His wife ditched him and asked for 900k a year,

-He was sexually assaulted which he said kicked him into a deep depression

-He stated that the stunts from the 3rd Mummy movie completely destroyed his body and he was in and out of the hospital for 7 years even having to get surgery to repair his vocal cords.

-He apparently blamed himself for all this which only worsened his depression.

This man has literally been through hell this past decade so please lets cut him some slack and wish him the best

All this but also that picture on the right is a really bad paparazzi photo compared with a professional quality movie promo still. No one looks good when some random person snaps you on the street, regardless of who you are.

Compare with this image from the GQ article last February:

Proper lighting, professional setting, good angles etc.

The dude is 49 and has had a rough couple of decades, but he’s still lovely to look at, and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

dreaming-yeen

Plus, now he’s in Doom Patrol, which makes me happy af.

lessonsintrance

And let’s not forget he was probably slightly to severely dehydrated to look that buff in he first photo. And I’m so pleased he got work again he seems like a good sort, and from the stealth pilot in Titans, Doom Patrol looks like it should be good.

asubmissiveview

It shouldn’t even matter what he’s been through. Body shaming of ANYONE is wrong.

The last time I saw this it was only at the first ‘cut him some slack’ part and it just progressively gets better each time.

We support this Brendan Fraser in this home

yespumpkindoodlesthings

I’ll say it again, the blue sweater photo in the OP was chosen because it was the most unflattering photo of him from that day. It’s a hatchet job! The same day:

I mean, look at this adorable face:

angiethewitch

he looks like a really kind dad who would give good hugs and watch rubbish movies with me

babysimpala

Every time I see this it’s 1000 times better.

ALWAYS REBLOG to protect this man. He deserves it.

Isn’t it consensual when she gave him the photos when they were together 🔚

Once a little boy went to school. One morning The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. He liked to make all kinds; Lions and tigers, Chickens and cows, Trains and boats; And he took out his box of crayons And began to draw.

But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make flowers.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make beautiful ones With his pink and orange and blue crayons. But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And it was red, with a green stem. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”

The little boy looked at his teacher’s flower Then he looked at his own flower. He liked his flower better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just turned his paper over, And made a flower like the teacher’s. It was red, with a green stem.

On another day The teacher said: “Today we are going to make something with clay.” “Good!” thought the little boy; He liked clay. He could make all kinds of things with clay: Snakes and snowmen, Elephants and mice, Cars and trucks And he began to pull and pinch His ball of clay.

But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make a dish.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make dishes. And he began to make some That were all shapes and sizes.

But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And she showed everyone how to make One deep dish. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”

The little boy looked at the teacher’s dish; Then he looked at his own. He liked his better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just rolled his clay into a big ball again And made a dish like the teacher’s. It was a deep dish.

And pretty soon The little boy learned to wait, And to watch And to make things just like the teacher. And pretty soon He didn’t make things of his own anymore.

Then it happened That the little boy and his family Moved to another house, In another city, And the little boy Had to go to another school.

The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. And he waited for the teacher To tell what to do. But the teacher didn’t say anything. She just walked around the room.

When she came to the little boy She asked, “Don’t you want to make a picture?” “Yes,” said the little boy. “What are we going to make?” “I don’t know until you make it,” said the teacher. “How shall I make it?” asked the little boy. “Why, anyway you like,” said the teacher. “And any color?” asked the little boy. “Any color,” said the teacher. And he began to make a red flower with a green stem.

I hate that I hesitated to reblog this just because I expect people to think it’s pretentious or melodramatic when it’s seriously real as fuck and I’ve witnessed it

fartsandprayers

This is what happened to me. I was young, first grade.

All the other kids have one teacher, while I had two, though I was in the same class. I took recess by myself. When the other’s took recess, I was constantly quizzed by my second teacher and shown how to color properly because ‘You don’t want your pictures to look like theirs, do you?’ I just wanted to color.

When I was allowed to participate with the rest of the class, I felt odd. “How fast does the earth move?” The main teacher asked. “100 miles an hour!” “One bajillion miles a hour!” I raised my hand. “Yes?” I swallowed and smiled. “I think it’s closer to 100,000 kilometers per hour.” I didn’t guess, I stated a fact. I was happy. And proud. Because I knew the answer. But somehow, when the teacher said ‘That’s correct’, it was with a large amount of disappointment and odd looks from the other kids. What had I done wrong? I didn’t answer questions anymore.

When I was in the class with my second teacher, we did reading flash cards. “What does this say?” “Government.” She frowned. “And just how do you know that?” I answered as simply as I could. “It doesn’t sound like it’s spelled. It has ‘Govern’ like the governor, and it has ‘ment’ that rhymes vent which is what’s above us! Government!” “That’s not how you learn words, you need to remember how to spell them. Try the next one.” Why did it matter? I remembered and could read it. So I had to learn the ‘correct’ way to spell and read.

So on and so on until 5th grade, when I was falling behind all the other students and was told to try harder and pay attention. ‘Show your work or it counts against you.’ But I didn’t have any work to show… 45 X 3 just is 135. What work was I supposed to show when something was a fact? So I had to relearn math so my teacher didn’t flunk me out.

This has followed me into adulthood. “Think outside the box.” I can’t. There is a small area outside the box I am allowed and no further. That is what I have been taught. When someone wants something from you in this way, they want to know where it came from and for it to match their ideals… not something they can’t understand or want to consider. And there is always a right answer, even if you are just coming up with ideas.

“Do you have any ideas on this matter?” My boss asks. I shrug. “It’s not something for me weigh in on, that’s beyond my area.”

You broke me. You broke thousands of kids who could have been the new Tesla, Curie, or Einstein. And you wonder why new ideas aren’t new? Because you told us, at a very early age, that a new idea must already conform to what you understand and are comfortable with.

mrmcweasel

Let’s think about how much more advanced we would be as a society if our school systems didn’t break kids.

strongorcbutch-deactivated20220

Once again a reminder: In the modern US school system, this is a feature, not a bug. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT WANTS TO DO TO CHILDREN. IF IT DOESN’T GO THIS WAY SOMETIMES, IT’S BECAUSE OF TEACHERS WHO GO AGAINST ESTABLISHED PROTOCOLS, AND THEY OFTEN SUFFER FOR IT IF THEY DO SO.

mr-squiggley-poufs

Also, not only does the school environment break healthy kids with no underlying conditions or disorders, it destroys kids with mental health conditions who PHYSICALLY CANNOT do homework, or do certain assignments, or follow indirect instructions. Kids with ADHD, ADD, autism, etc. are forced to use an environment that is completely useless and emotionally damaging to them. As someone with ADHD, I sometimes find it physically impossible for me to do an assignment. I know this is a similar problem for others with this condition, and it often gets brushed off by people as laziness and isn’t accepted as a valid excuse due to misinformation. The current school system doesn’t take disorders like this seriously and often just brush it off as laziness and punish the student, which is incredibly damaging and harmful, and often leads to anxiety and depression in these students. On that note, the school system is downright torturous for students with depression and anxiety. Schools do next to nothing for this continually growing issue. I know that schools can’t account for every mental disorder, but would it be that hard to try? My time in US public school has mentally destroyed me, and even though I’m in an international school system now, its still influenced by some US standards, such as copious amounts of homework(which the school is trying to cut down on to be more like its international alikes), etc. The US school system is entirely bullshit, and I propose that as gen z grows and gradually takes power, we try to change our damaging school structure and create a better learning environment for students. If you’re going to be a teacher, I have the strong mindset of, “Be the teacher that you always wanted to have.” We’re the next step. Be the change you want to see in the world.

I was a teacher for five years. I actually liked my job a lot but I left because they weren’t taking any COVID precautions in my state and I didn’t want to be part of spreading illness around. This post is pretty accurate but I think it’s missing a piece of the puzzle.

Schools are designed to squash children’s spirits but they’re designed that way at a governmental level. I know a LOT of teachers who really try to encourage individuality, critical thinking, and creativity. I know administrators who try to foster this as well. A ton of people working in schools really are doing their best. And I’m not just saying that. I’m talking about my teacher friends on Facebook stating the upside of getting COVID 19 at work was that while staying home sick, they had time to finish a puzzle for the first time in years. I’m talking about people staying two and three and four hours after school ends to prepare for and help their students. This time is NOT paid. Those teachers were doing it for free.

The sad thing about this is that they’re killing themselves it doesn’t fix the ultimate problem. No amount of teacher dedication gets rid of the high stakes testing that drives schools to do this kind of shit. No amount of department head work fixes bad curriculum the county purchased because it was cheap. No amount of administrator effort allows them to hire enough teachers to give kids the individualized focus they need to encourage growth and creativity.

These big picture problems can only be fixed by voting. If millennials and gen z want to change schools for the better, we need to get out there and vote for better school funding, better curriculum, and the end to high stakes tests. You want to make our school systems a good place for kids? VOTE.

This reminds me of a discussion I had in my high school economics class, which was taught by the best teacher I’ve ever had.

He’d held an activity where he gave all of us slips of paper with a sentence or two of information on them, and a worksheet to fill out using the information. Then he sat back and did not teach for the rest of the period; the way we distributed the slips and filled in the sheet was completely up to us as a class.

He used this as an opportunity to talk about different economic models based on what we chose to do (our class had a model similar to communism, where we all read our slips aloud and discussed as a class where they should go on the worksheet). But then, he asked us to write a list of the skills we had practiced in organizing this self-lead model.

We listed things like patience, communication, and team work. He asked if we felt those were important skills to have in life and in the workplace, and we all agreed they were.

“So, if those skills are so important,” he asked, “why are none of your classes taught this way?”

We theorized about efficiency and correctness of information, but throughout the discussion we realized that none of those things could really outweigh the importance of the skills we’d practiced. So really, we asked, why aren’t we taught to do this in school?

And my teacher said, “Do you think that if everyone had these skills, they would find it easier to work without supervision or guidance?” We all nodded. “So, if that were the case, what would become of managers and executives? If every worker learned and practiced these skills as children, if every worker were able to effectively communicate and organize and work things out together, there would be no need to have anyone in charge. And no one in charge wants that.”

I have honestly never been the same since that class.

All of this is basically why I’ve become incredibly anti-school since I began home educating my child. I remember when they were confident and passionate and creative, and I knew they had been struggling at school, but I had no idea just how much until I had to teach them during lockdown. I cannot put into words how heartbreaking it is to sit down with a child who you KNOW loves to draw and paint, who you KNOW has an amazing mind, and for them to turn to you, helpless, because they can’t do it anymore if you aren’t telling them exactly what to do. When they can’t tell you a funny story about dragons and knights any more. When they freeze up at a maths question because they know their method is “wrong”. They are getting better. They are re-learning how to be themself again. But every day I still find myself angry that people did that to them. And that I let it happen. And I don’t think I can ever face sending them back to that.

so a racist got utterly demolished in less than 30 seconds on the New Zealand morning news on Monday and it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen

who knew a white guy could be capable of such an iconic response, he knows what’s up and is having none of that shit, every other white guy take notes tbh

Male co-host: We have had a whole heap of feedback regarding Te Tai Tokerau MP Kelvin Davis’s proposal to institute a prison run on Māori values into New Zealand. He’s looking at potentially establishing this prison up north. It isn’t Labour policy just yet, it’s just an idea of Kelvin Davis’s. And this has been really really divisive on our Facebook page this morning. (sarcastically) Here I think we have the single greatest email, the single greatest message we have ever had on breakfast.

(clears throat deliberately) “’Janice’ says: Good morning. I’m sick of hearing that Māori need different treatment. If they don’t want to live in our society, then maybe we should put them all on an island and leave them to it.”

Male co-host: “Janice. That is LITERALLY what happened! That is the history of our country. Last I checked, Māori WERE on an island, they were left to it, and then Pākehā (Māori term for white New Zealanders) turned up and look how that worked out. But thank you very much for that brilliant insight. Goodness me. Unbelievable. Unbelievable, they actually-“

Female co-host: “Actually, you can’t even get angry, you just actually need to laugh and then screw it up and put it under the desk. Just when you thought-“

Male co-host: (mimicking letter) “’Put them all on an island, leave them to it.’ Yeah. What a great idea that is Janice.

happy holidays! this is your yearly reminder that wrapping paper is NOT recyclable! it can even contaminate an entire neighborhoods recycling, and none of it can be recycled! please make sure to keep your wrapping paper separate from your recycling!

becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys

Reminder that brown paper and newspaper are cheap and easy to recycle, and you can make them look classy, vintage and/or fun and funky by adding a ribbon or coloured ink stamps!

HOWEVER DO NOT ADD PAINT OR OTHER ART SUPPLIES. This will make them non-recyclable again. BUT, ink is fine - it’s removed in the recycling process.

healthforpositivebodies

Please do not talk about a child’s weight in front of them, or tell them they need to go on a diet.

Talking about weight in front of children is associated with mental and physical health risks, and both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Pediatric Society recommend against all weight talk around children.

mikkeneko

do not put children on diets! just don’t do it! you will fuck up their metabolism for the rest of their lives!!

i mean! i’m very anti-diets for everyone, not just children, but children are so much more vulnerable. this is their growth period, this is where their body learns what will be expected of it for the rest of its life. do not teach your child’s body that food is uncertain!!!

I know people are gonna get salty af about this but by God she’s RIGHT.

When Brad Pitt did Fight Club, he was cutting weight for every single scene to maintain his physique at 155. I’ve you’ve ever cut weight, you know how horrible that must have been. He did it because they needed a “look”.

Changing Tatum said his Magic Mike body doesn’t last for more than five days. He starved down and dehydrated his already fit physique for a “look”.

The male soldiers on Spartacus: Blood and Sand were eating pretty much chicken and veggies for every meal to maintain a “look”.

Why is this such a big deal? Because all these characters are considered physical goals for men. These are actual unobtainable physical standards for men. Male body image issues get swept under the rug so often that some people don’t even think they exist.

da-boy-o-kultur

You want proof? Just check out that scene in Captain America: First Avenger where Cap just transformed into that beautiful beefcake of a man. Agent Carter’s actress just HAD to touch them muscles, it was completely unscripted.

Chris Evans had to wear shirts so small they physically hurt, and he dislocated a shoulder during the helicopter scene in Civil War. But who cares, girls got to wet their panties watching Captain America flex.

If we are talking about unrealistic physical standards of male fitness given to us by movies, I would like to mention Hugh “Wolverine” Jackman here.

Yeah, he is ripped, isn’t he?

Well, it is true, but to get that kind of definition, he went through 36 hour period of dehydration, which caused him to temporarily lose 10 pounds of “water weight”.

Thus during the fight scene he was filming, he was a hair breadth from blacking out whole time, just to look unrealistically muscular.

As he said during interview with Steven Colbert, “If You go three days without water, You will die. Then, when You are halfway there they shout ‘Roll it!”

It’s the same with professional bodybuilders who get into periods of extreme fasting and dehydration to lower their fat-to-muscle ratio to inhuman levels, all in hopes of making their muscle definition a bit better.

According to experts, healthy body fat percentage for a healthy male ranges from 8% to 20%, depending on height, lifestyle and numerous other variables.

Fitness model and professional bodybuilder Helmut Strebl also known as “World’s Most Shredded Man” as he supposedly managed to get his body fat percentage below 5%…

… But only when he partakes in competitions, since it is not humanly possible to live with such low fat percentage of one’s body for longer periods of time.

I mean, yeah, he keeps a draconian training regime, as well as a very strict diet even off-season, but looks much more human then…

There are documented cases of incredibly fit and muscular bodybuilders fainting on the stage in the middle of their flexing routines, as well as several who outright died, because of cardiac arrest caused by their blood becoming too thick, due to long dehydration…

And let’s not forget about Muscle Dysmorphia, colloquially known as “Megarexia” or “Bigarexia”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_dysmorphia

Yeah, it’s a thing, but it’s barely talked about, since it’s apparently not manly to admit to having problems like that, which also creates problems with researching this particular disorder…

So… Thanks Hollywood?

fierceawakening

I had no idea that most people who looked like this are dehydrated until I read posts like this.

brunhiddensmusings

dehydrated to the point theyre about a day away from actual organ failure okay so chris hemsworth is a absolute god of a man, but hollywood says ‘thats not good enough’ and for the thor movie he has to spend several days having the juice squeezed from his body untill he looses about a gallon of whats supposed to be him so that he can do 2 days of shooting scenes without his shirt, after which he has to have recovery time before he is hospitalized because i am not joking about ‘one day away from organ failure’ thats the benchmark- look at chris hemsworth and process that he is told he isnt suitable for a shirtless scene without prepping for three days and nearly fainting

shipperwolf1

real feminism acknowledges the unhealthy standards that men are held to. radfems brush them off as non-existent

guys, feminism is for you, too. it’s for all of us.

archivistofnerddom

Unrealistic body images helps no one and actively hurts men too!!

iamcon-fu-sion

since the discussion of that they put henry cavill through for the witcher is floating around my blog, i want to add this too,.

one of the reasons producers get away with this in men and no one criticizes it is because we are fed the lie that this body type is 1) attainable and 2) healthy.

We know starving women down to skinniness is unhealthy, but you see an overmuscled man and you don’t immediately think dehydration.

pr1deandprejud1ce

i love this whole thread but uh

this IS feminism. being able to speak out about that? that’s the most feminist thing she could have done. don’t call it bullshit, because this is IMPORTANT. these men are being starved and dehydrated and basically just hurt over and over again so that people can drool over their muscles and no one (by which i mean the audience) realizes something is wrong. so don’t say that this isn’t feminism, because it is. it really, really is.

In case anyone wants to know, the peruvian president (who got to that office without any support from the people) just quit after 3 days of protests all around the country and the world. Don’t let anyone ever tell you people don’t have the power to change things, that is the whole point of democracies.
