a crash crash course on the golden age of hollywood
to state the obvious, this is not meant to be a be all end all guide. it’s just a start for people who wanna know more about some of the essentials of the era. there’s plenty of people and movies i didn’t include but at least now you can listen to vogue and understand all the references.
“This movie is iconic purely because of the scene where Marlene performs a cabaret number in a suit and invents bisexuality.”

When you go to a haunted house, it may seem like you’re being funny by trying to scare the actors or jump out at them when you go through a second time, but guess what? ITS NOT FUNNY.
You pay us to scare you. It is your choice to go, so don’t fucking go through if you’re going to ignore the rules and get too close to the actors as a ‘joke’.
These bruises happened because over the course of 4 hours, several people ignored the instructions that CLEARLY stated that they were to wait in the front room until told otherwise. Rather than listen, they ran into the next room and slammed into me- effectively throwing me into the wall. This didn’t only happen once. It happened ten times at LEAST.
Then we had this asshole who thought that once I ‘died’ for the haunt, he could pretend to kick me to see if I’d moved. I, being used to people abusing me- jumped back and slammed my head into the concrete wall.
YOU ARE NOT FUNNY BY BEING RUDE AT A HAUNTED HOUSE. WE ARE PAID ACTORS THAT YOU CHOOSE TO COME AND SEE PERFORM. YOU PAY US TO SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU, SO DONT HIT US WHEN WE DO
I feel that this is relevant considering it is October and more Haunted Houses are opening up. I know it seems funny to scare the ‘monsters’ but all you do is hurt real people. So stop.
It’s not even October but I’m still spreading this
SIGNAL BOOOOOOOOSSSSSTTTTT!!!!!!! Now
Yeah…your director may want to consider reblocking
We don’t have a director? Or blocking??? It’s a haunted house bro, not a play
Reblogging for relevance-
I work at a Haunted House every October, and have been for the past few years. Our house in particular is staffed by Volunteer workers who are either earning credits for Graduation, or people who know the Family that owns the haunted attraction. In our City, we’re one of two Haunted Houses, so while we open in late September, we tend to get incredibly busy during the month of October and often work from 6pm until 2, 3am on weekends.
We do not get paid to help out. Due to our location, we get a lot of drunk guys coming through, and a lot of ‘funny’ teenagers. In my several years working there, I’ve seen Actors get grabbed and thrown, stomped on, kicked, bitten, everything. A lot of the Actors at this attraction are young teenagers, Middle and Secondary School students, so this kind of abuse is terrifying and potentially emotionally scarring.
There’s a position half-way through the house we call ‘Psych Ward’, and it’s essentially a jump scare. The scare is a corner-room, boxed in with walls and broken windows, that the Actor pops out of and shouts and taunts the people going through. October, 2012, a couple were going through the Psych Ward corner and the scare went off as per usual. The girlfriend of this couple got very startled but laughed it off and continued on. The boyfriend, however, back-tracked and went up to the broken window and punched the Actor in the face for scaring his girlfriend. The Actor, who I’m going to call Tracy, had a black eye for a good two weeks solid and the couple had to be escorted out of the house and were banned from the property. Ever since we’ve ruled that Veteran Actors (someone who’s been there for 3+ years) are the only ones allowed in this particular Scaring Spot.
He paid to get scared and then got violent when we delivered.
There are so many stories I can tell of ignorant customers banging back on scares and injuring the Actors inside, grabbing props from the actors and hurting them with it, destroying props because they thought it would be ‘funny’.
I just want to raise awareness that the ACTORS ARE STILL PEOPLE. We’re instructed to get the best kind of scare out of you, sometimes with no pay at all (like this particular attraction), so please respect our work.
We wouldn’t come to your job, mock you, and push you around trying to be ‘funny’. Don’t come to our job and do that to us!
I literally cannot believe people are angry over this post saying “don’t fucking beat up actors”
I work at a haunted hayride and a guy tried to dropkick me in the chest and knee me in the face because he thought it was funny.
I got in trouble for breaking character to tell him to fucking stop.
Ive been hit so many times this season it has left cuts and bruises. Back in 2015 I was fucking choked and dragged behind a wagon because a lady was drunk and her son had to pry her hands off me because IM NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH YOU OR FIGHT BACK.
Most recently, a customer groped my breasts and twisted my fucking nipples. Apparently, she did it to AT LEAST twenty other actors.
THAT IS SEXUAL ASSAULT YOU ASSHOLES. ITS NOT OKAY.
Most recently a customer fucking kicked me and sent me to the goddamned hospital.
WHEN YOU GO TO A HAUNTED HAYRIDE / HAUNTED HOUSE, REMEMBER YOU LITERALLY PAID US TO SCARE YOU.
THE ACTORS ARE REAL PEOPLE.
DO NOT FUCKING HIT US.
Why the fuck would you even do this holy shit
Hey guys i know this is out of theme but that comment from @witchcryptid was me and my old url. I plan on working this job again this year if at all possible, so here’s an added psa:
If your family or friend(s) force you into a haunting, be upfront as best you can and tell actors as they come up “please do not scare me i am too anxious / scared” and 9.99/10 times we will listen and leave you alone. just communicate with us even though we most often cannot communicate back.
We may be playing monsters, but we are NOT monsters.
Also, please remember to keep your hands off of us during your haunting, and also please try to step in or speak up if you see people trying to touch us, assault us, or talking about planning to touch or hurt a staff member.
We cannot do anything and will most likely get in legal trouble for touching you in defense.
Thank you and have a spooky fall 🌻🍁🍂🍃
I…I feel really upset that this has to be a reminder ._.
I mean they should know you’re…justacting.
jesus christ…
I don’t even do haunted houses (I’m one of those aforementioned anxious people) but boosting the signal because this is seriously not cool.
Hey guys it’s that time!!
You paid for a ticket which means you consented to be scared!
As an ex haunt monster please for fucks sake if you KNOW your reflex is to strike when scared DO NOT GO TO THESE.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE NO ONE GOES TO DISNEYLAND AND PUNCHES DONALD DUCK WHY WOULD YOU DO THE SAME TO HAUNTED HOUSE WORKERS?!?!?!?!
Please don’t attack workers for doing their jobs.
okay, since no one’s talking about this, i will.
i also apologize for my bad english. i’m ukrainian and writing this in a rush.
anyway.
TW: murder, death threats, homophobia, transphobia.
the russian LGBT community is in deep shit right now.
a russian LGBT rights activist elena grigoryeva was recently found dead with 8 stab wounds near her home.
the police didn’t do anything about it, despite how many people called out for help.
there’s also a russian anti LGBT group called “pila” (“chainsaw”). a couple of months prior they published a hit list of LGBT activists from russia. elena was on the list. and so are other people who are related to the community in some ways.
they stated that they prepared some “cruel gifts” to the people on the list. the beauty blogger andrew petrov (whose name is also on it) recently made a post for his followers that shed more light on the situation.
another activist, andrew shituhin is a victim of this organization. the addresses of his family, along with other personal information got published on the website. earlier he got kicked out of his university. he immigrated to netherlands, although recently he came to a town near moskow to live for a bit. his friend, zhenia svetski, is aimed at by this organization. in a threatening email “pila” stated that he will be killed before august if andrew doesn’t help him to immigrate to netherlands.
all i’m asking for is to spread this post so that more people from other countries are aware of the situation.
also, i’m encouraging russian folks to add more information to this post in case if i missed anything. thank you.
update: holy shit, this post really blew up. thank you all so much for spreading it.
https://lgbtnet.org/en/help-us-so-we-can-help-others you can donate to the russian LGBT network here. they’re currently working on protecting people from “pila” so every dollar and pound is appreciated. ♡
The Russian LGBT Network has been offering legal and psychological counselling to LGBTQI (+) people in Russia since 2006. The Network also o
Indigenous people in Attawapiskat cannot drink their water or bathe themselves, and haven’t been able to for weeks. They called a state of emergency.
What is Justin Trudeau’s response?
1 litre per day of water for kids under 2 years old. 1.5 litres per elder. The Tribal council must pay for this water in advance before they can be reimbursed next month.
This is shameful.

Is there anything we tumblr readers can do to help?
1. If you’re not Canadian just sharing this post and following this blog will help.
Also follow these other Canadian Politics blogs and share their posts too:
@onpoli @torontopoli @ontarionewsnow @abpoli @nspoli @politicsofcanada @nlpolitics @qcnews @pnwpolitic @bcpoli
2. If you are Canadian, there is a Federal Election in October. Vote for NDP. They’re the only party who has given a damn about what is going on in Attawapiskat. As far as I can tell the NDP is the only party to even visit Attawapiskat this month. Volunteer and donate too.
3. If you are Canadian, write to the PM, Minister of Indigenous Affairs and your member of Parliament and demand that they help this community. Find your MP here:
https://www.ourcommons.ca/Parliamentarians/en/members
Here’s your regular reminder that just because he produces pseudo feminist sound bites, doesn’t mean our prime minister isn’t a steaming pile of human excrement. Vote NDP.
In case y'all are wondering who is running for Prime Minister in the NDP group, his name is Jagmeet Singh.
He
-supports a progressive tax system
-supports eliminating several tax deductions available to the highest-income earners and redirect the money to low-income seniors, workers and disabled Canadians
-supports a $15/hour minimum wage
-supports a universal pharmacare system (our free healthcare is being challenged right now in ontario under doug ford who wants to create premium healthcare for the rich)
-is a strong advocate for equality amongst poc and lgbt groups
-wants to put a federal ban on carding as it is a systematic form of racism
-wants to ban handguns in individual cities should a crisis occur (yes they are legal here)
-believes the RCMP should complete LGBTQI2S+ competency training" to ensure interactions with law enforcement are not stigmatizing or traumatizing.
-supports more inclusive shelter and transitional housing spaces for lgbt kids
-advocates for Health Canada conducting research on the health care needs and experiences of LGBTQ patients and advocates for policy changes allowing people to self-declare their gender.
-supports immediately repealing the de facto BAN ON BLOOD, TISSUE AND ORGAN DONATION by men who have sex with men and trans women who have sex with men.
-wants to reduce the carbon emissions levels of Canada to 30% of 2005 levels by 2025
-supports creating more accountability in climate change policy by creating an independent officer of parliament mandated to report on interim progress on emission reductions
-supports decriminalizing possession of all drugs and treating drug use as a medical issue rather than a criminal issue
-advocates for free contraceptives for women
-FIRED a man in his party who was charged with sexual assault allegations after he would not complete a rehabilitation program in sensitivity training
And there is SO MUCH MORE
Listen y'all I don’t love getting political on here but honest to god vote in your riding for your NDP candidate. People are scared to vote for them because of the cuts in work hours they instituted last time they were in office but that was FIFTEEN years ago under a different leader.
If a conservative leader is voted in that gives so much power to federal leaders like premier doug ford who mind you
-cut funds to OSAP a grant and loan system based in ontario to help university students of low income families pay for their education (last year I received enough money to almost pay my full tuition, this year I am receiving loans that dont even cover half of my school year. He has also erased the 6 month grace period to pay them back
-He has allowed graphic anti abortion billboards to be posted in Toronto (I will not be posting a picture but if you are curious there are pictures circulating. It has severely affected many women particularly those who have suffered from miscarrages)
-he has eliminated an ontario arts council which was established under the Indigenous Culture fund
-proposed ending the transition child benefit which helps low income families on welfare feed and clothe their kids
-CUT 70% OF PROVINCIAL FUNDING TO THE ANISHINABEK FISHERIES RESOURCE CENTER
-cut annual funding on stem cell research
-Cut: An unclear amount of funding from violence against women shelter services
-increased class sizes of elementary, middle and high schools (up to 40 kids I believe) and is making high school kids retain ONLINE credits OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL HOURS ON TOP OF HOMEWORK AND BANNING ELECTRONICS IN SCHOOLS
and that’s just the tip of the iceberg I’m sure I’m missing a bunch of information
To find out who the NDP candidate is in your riding (because yes if you’re not Canadian or have not voted before Canadian’s vote for the MP candidate in their area not for the Prime Minister themselves and whichever group has the most people voted in from a.certain group dictates who the Prime Minster will be) you can go to this website
https://www.ndp.ca/your-riding
and learn more about the MP in your area.
Please my fellow Canadians our election is held this year on OCTOBER 21ST YET NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT. Not voting will not solve our problems. VOTE and please consider voting for you NDP candidate.
I never thought we would turn into the states
Then you haven’t been paying attention at all to Indigenous people.
These issues are not new. Canada has been ignoring and mistreating Indigenous communities like Attawapiskat for centuries.
Canada is a nation built on colonialism and that colonialism at no point has actually stopped.
>turn into
this type of shit has been happening for approximately four hundred years? wtfym “turn into”

That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving
False memes
Okay, friends, I need some help.
A friend of mine saw a friend who does not speak Spanish circulating these two memes, trying to be helpful. Here’s the problem - the advice in Spanish DOES NOT MATCH the English AT ALL. In Spanish, the people are advised to invite ICE in, be honest and calm, and to instruct all family members to tell the truth. At the end, they are told their cooperation is appreciated. They are not advised of their rights, to request a warrant. The advice amounts to giving themselves up.
If you look closely at the bottom, you’ll see that the English version is from the ACLU. The Spanish version says “ALCU”.
Be aware of the information you share - it may not be helpful!
THAT SAID, the help I request is this:
I do not speak enough Spanish to translate the above into Spanish. I would like to give her the Spanish translation of this message to add to her post. (And this one.)
Help?
Translation:
If ICE agents come to your door:
Open the door to talk to the agents. Stay calm.
Ask why they’re there and be cooperative.
If they ask to come in, invite them in. Be hospitable.
Answer all questions honestly.
Encourage(?) everybody in the house to answer their questions honestly.
If they ask about family, friends, or coworkers, answer their questions honestly.
If they ask you to sign something, read the document critically before signing.
Your cooperation is appreciated!
ALCU Only be honest
Can you please translate the top text that’s in English into Spanish too, please? I’d like to give it to K to put on Facebook so that people can share a fully useful post with Spanish “this is fake, here’s what people are trying to do” because without an explanation of how the images are different, if a Spanish only speaker sees it then K is just accidentally sharing bad information, if that makes sense?
I appreciate your help so much.
(Also, seriously, whaaaaaaaaat the fuck.)
Traducción al español:
Muchas personas de habla inglesa estuvieron compartiendo estas imágenes, tratando de ayudar. Pero no se dieron cuenta de que la version en inglés y la versión en español son muy distintas. La imagen en inglés da consejos verdaderos mientras que la imagen en español te instruye a cooperar con ICE.
Esto es lo que dice la imagen en inglés, lo que realmente deberías hacer:
SI AGENTES DE ICE ESTÁN EN TU ENTRADA:
-No habrás la puerta, mantente calmado. Tienes derechos.
-Pregunta por qué están ahí, qué quieren. Pide un intérprete si lo necesitas.
-Si piden entrar, pregunta si tienen una orden de registro firmada por un juez*. Si es así, pide verla (que la pasen por una ventana o por abajo de la puerta)
-Si no tienen una orden firmada por un juez*, puedes negarte a dejarlos pasar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta.
-Si entran por la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos en la residencia que guarden silencio.
-Si te arrestan, guarda silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.
*Una orden administrativa de ICE (Forma I-200, I-205) no les permite entrar a tu hogar sin consentimiento
ACLU. CONOCE TUS DERECHOS

Reblog if you need this energy
This is graphic but VERY important. I’m MF TIED of pro lifers who cannot see further than the end of their nose
To all my freshman babies who are panicking right now about how much your college textbooks cost: Yeah, you’re right, that’s some highway robbery. No, you don’t have to lie down and take it. You have options. Follow my advice and fly on your own debt free wings.
1. Forgoe the bookstore entirely. Sometimes you can get a good deal on something, usually a rental, but it’s usually going to be considerably more expensive to go through official channels. Outsmart them, babies.
2. Does your syllabus call for edition eight? Get edition seven. Old editions are considered worthless in the buyback trades, so they sell for dirt cheap, no matter how new they are. It’s a gamble, sure; there might be something in edition eight you desperately need, but that never happened to me. However, I’ve only ever pulled this stunt for literature/mass comm/religious studies books, so I don’t know it would work in the sciences.
3. Thriftbooks.com, especially for nonfiction and fiction. Books are usually four or five dollars unless they’re really new, and shipping is 99 cents unless you buy over 10$ in books, in which case shipping is free.
4. Bigwords.com. It will scan every textbook seller on the internet for the lowest price available, and will do the same to find the highest price when you try to sell your books back at the end of term. Timesaver, lifesaver.
5. In all probability, your library offers a service called interlibrary loan which is included in your tuition. This means if your library doesn’t carry a book you can order it for free from any library nationwide in your library’s network and it will be shipped to you in a number of days. Ask a librarian to show you how to search for materials at your library as well as though interlibrary loan; you’ll need to master this skill soon anyway. If you get lucky you can just have your required reading shipped to you a week before you need to start reading, then renew vigorously until you no longer need to item. I’m saving over 100$ on a History of Islam class this way.
You professors might side-eye you for bringing an old edition or a library copy, but you just smile right back honey, because you can pay your rent and go clubbing this month. You came here to win. So go forth and slay.
Can I add to this? 6. Find PDFs of your book to store on your computer. I managed to find an up-to-date edition of my textbook for sociology by doing this, and other books for other classes. It may be risky to have to look high and low for them, but it’s a godsend trust me
don’t even think about pulling number 1 for math classes. they change problems and examples between editions. get your butt to Amazon the SECOND you know what book you need. the earlier the better. put in the ISBN number and you’ll get the right edition. buy it used. you don’t need that damn CD. buy it used. I used to get two hundred dollar math books for twenty bucks.
for the record I would recommend a lot of caution with math/science/psych books, the editions generally have a lot of changes to them (also email your professors; I had one explicitly tell us to buy an older edition bc the publisher made a new one every year regardless of if there were any changes. and they understand books cost a lot so they’re generally on board with you saving money; another professor actually had a student who managed to get a free pdf of the textbook share it with the whole class)
one time i tried to get a previous edition for a humanities class and there were like 10+ stories that weren’t included that the teacher referenced often so make sure that there’s not a huge discrepancy in content also if your uni uses ~custom textbooks~ like mine does for entry level courses then you my friend are fucked
