Trump: I ended Racial Sensitivity training because it was racist 

WHAT

[rhea-rippedley]

He signed an executive order banning racial sensitivity training on the federal level last week. I don’t see this information circulating quite as much so please signal boost. This is really fucking scary.

It’s so charming to see this on my dash because Thursday, October, and the number 8 are all the same rusty brown-orange color according to my synesthesia.

99% of all anthro cats in film would’ve worked better than that CGI nightmare fuel.

As someone who enjoys anthro characters, I agree 100%.

[corrucyst]

someone: so what do you think is the solution to homelessness?

me, socialist:

[left-reminders]

Let homeless people occupy peopleless homes, build houses for use rather than exchange, 3D print comfortable houses in a day, convert corporate skyscrapers into housing and commercial malls into publicly-accessible community centers with living commons and entertainment

[seconddoubt]

When you say it to people and they break

“But the money? … we can’t just? But, Money? We can’t just… help… people? Can we? The Money. We can’t just help people? Like that? We can’t just? Money?”

[xanaphia]

To really break them, tell them it’s cheaper to give homeless people homes than it is to leave them on the street.

wow i wonder if that 300 year gap could be explained by any outside factors…….whoa! for some reason it lines up with the timeline of britain’s invasion and subsequent colonization of ireland! wild, huh? i wonder if the two are connected in some way? i guess the world will never know….

Lucy Lawless was not a particularly burly woman, but somehow she made Xena seem like a fucking tank and I don’t understand how.

[glumshoe]

Don’t get me wrong—she was strong, and certainly not a waif, but more than almost any other female superhero actress I’ve ever seen, Lucy Lawless exuded physical power and weight that I actually believed (when she wasn’t somersaulting in front of a ridiculous greenscreen).

[glumshoe]

When I close my eyes and imagine Xena, I imagine her fucking shredded. Just absolutely ripped. Muscles McGillicutty out here. She could burst through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man and kick my ass.  

But then when I actually look at Lucy Lawless out of costume, even when she was playing Xena, she looks... average. A gorgeous woman, absolutely, and rather tall, but not the Amazon she comes across as when she’s inhabiting the role. 

With few exceptions (like Linda Hamilton), I don’t get that from other actresses portraying physically strong characters. Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman costume has a very similar design, but I never believed in the physicality of her character even when the CGI physics are more realistic.

Steven L. Sears at The USC Center on Public Diplomacy, Oct 25, 2006

On how he approaches female characters

”The interesting question about writing the female character...the female character was an object, it was a plot twist, it was something to motivate the male to do something heroic. It was never accepted as a character. To me that was the biggest difference, first. Secondly, was the portrayal, and I mean the physical actress portrayal...When we hired Lucy Lawless, what really impressed me was her physicalization. She did not apologize through her body. And that had been the biggest critique about women characters. Even wonder woman. They apologize through their body. ‘I’ve got to be masculine, but I’m gonna off-set it by doing it in a feminine way’. Whereas Lucy was like ‘Okay, I’m gonna do it.’ And she did it. And I remember sitting there, watching that with the original supervising producer and saying ‘That is sexy.’ Because there’s no apologies. That’s a real character. And that is attractive to me and I’ll bet it’s gonna be attractive to other people.”

[glumshoe]

God!!! If only this were normalized for female characters. The Terminator franchise does a pretty good job at having physical women; Dark Fate also had Grace move like a real person inhabiting space.

[glumshoe]

Grace has short hair. She looks like a typical athletic butch woman:

Being butch is not offensive. Portraying tough butch women in action movies is not some regressive anti-feminist act. I can and I will compare Grace to Xena because she is a female character portrayed as strong and tough in a very natural and unapologetic way—there are no concessions to preserving an elegant or dainty aesthetic when she fights.

Women come in all shapes and sizes. If you reject the importance or value of women’s strength because they have “””male features””” and you think that’s regressive or not good representation you can eat my entire ass, and also Xena’s.

my head is hurting from this Facebook post does no one understand Hendrix played a distorted version of Star Spangled Banner to protest the Vietnam War and not as some act of great patriotism, it’s like the boomers who lived through this event rewrote the history and purpose of Woodstock to fit with their nationalism, the 1960s saw some of the worst acts of American imperialism and racism....these “hippies” were not just anti-establishment, they wanted civil rights and they wanted America to stop killing people in east Asia simply because they were a threat to American wealth

[circa1974-deactivated20240207]

not only was it distorted, he played his guitar in such a way that it sounded like bombs, missiles, and gunfire. the music wailed and screamed with anguish. it was meant to express the horrors of the vietnam war in the most raw way possible. take a listen, it’s really an amazing piece of art and should in no way be erased to further fascist rhetoric!

[valalaraptor]

Also, around the 2:33 mark, he plays the opening notes to Taps, a song typically reserved for funerals of dead soldiers and the like.

[autisticexpression]

None of them protested it because it was the protest.

Again please remember that less than six months ago Republicans were crowing about low unemployment and record breaking stock market highs.

We are not measuring “the economy” in a way that has any bearing on the wellbeing of citizens. Do not let anyone forget that. Ever.

[closet-keys]

Me, wanting to buy something from a clothing company that pays living wages: god it’s so expensive It is not too expensive, it is fairly priced and I’m just not paid enough.

[rox-and-prose]

Honestly I have a theory that a big reason why corporations hate the idea of higher wages is that their entire business model revolves around having the lowest prices, rather than the best product or service. If we get paid better, we can afford to make a choice.

[keepcalmandcarriefischer]

Oh

[computationalcalculator]

this actually isn’t just a theory, it’s an entire deliberate tactic, and if you major in business they literally spend multiple semester-long classes teaching you how to do it
