racist white canadians and europeans want you to believe the slave trade worked like this

it did not. it is public knowledge the slave trade worked like this

and in fighting antiblackness within canada and europe it is so so so important to acknowledge these places's participation in and benefit from the transantlantic slave trade. Slavery is not just the US's dirty past, it is a triangular industry lasting centuries that white people in the united states, canada, and europe benefitted from and continue to benefit from to this day. Slavery was good for white canadians and white europeans. They liked it. they encouraged it. they had slaves, they profited from the slave trade, and they used products grown from US slave labour in every day life. The slavery of Black people would not have been possible on the sheer scale at which it happened if it were not for active, consistent participation from europe and canada.

jkr is literally posting upskirt photos to her social media. when will it finally get through to harry potter fans that their support makes her feel confident and correct enough to do things like this

As if Joanne couldn't get any shittier, she misgendered and insulted a woman who called for support, all because the woman had PCOS/PMOS and "didn't sound feminine enough."

Fuck her.

Your shitty children's series isn't more important than people's lives.

official-anti-jkr-posts

This would be equally as shitty if the woman who was misgendered and insulted was trans instead of having PCOS btw

This is an official anti-JKR post

Idea where ever since Naruto graduated and became a genin, other fellow shinobi have had to deal with his antics. Each time they come across Iruka, usually at the mission desk, they complain to him about how he should be educating him better and to control "his kid".

Izumo and Kotetsu have to restrain Naruto at the same time one day and whine the whole time they go for drinks with Iruka about how their muscles and entire bodies hurt and how the hell was Iruka able to keep such a kid in check for YEARS.

Iruka dismisses them because surely it's because they're just not used to the orange ball of energy that is Naruto, or that it was just one day in particular that Naruto might've been a bit more hard-headed than usual (he will check with him over ramen tomorrow, just to make sure)

Anko mentions casually how "much of a brat just like you" Naruto is to Iruka, and goes on and on to recall all the fond memories she had of Iruka when he was a little rascal and Iruka just laughs back but does have to defend his boy and point out that she was just as much of a brat if not worse

There's also a day in the mission desk where Kakashi and Team 7 are unexpectedly quiet after a mission, and Kakashi drops dead (well, not dead, but very close) on Iruka's desk. And knowing he doesn't like hospitals, Iruka has to bring him to his apartment and after 24 hours Kakashi wakes up and all he says is a dry and shaky, "I need you". Only to go back to sleep again.

Iruka's face burns red he has to repeat over and over that he probably means he needs help. Help with Naruto. Like everyone else. Especially with how Naruto is with Sasuke and Sakura. Those three are a mess; anyone would need someone else. To help them, that is. Yes. Of course.

If he and Kakashi arrange a little system of "shared custody" where they find themselves alone at the end of the day here and there, drinking or eating together at Ichiraku or one of their apartments, it's nobody's business. Iruka is just helping.

He really, really believed people were exaggerating because they're not used to Naruto's personality and push all the wrong buttons. Until the Fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade, jokes that Iruka might get a medal of honor for still keeping Naruto in check til this day.

Years go by and most of the village in considerable more familiar with Naruto's antics. Tho! Any new faces he meets will eventually ask him a worn but fond "HOW."

Iruka briefly wonders if he maybe made the third Hokage deal with something similar during his prankster years or being the Hokage gave him the privilege to not hear anything like this.

He remembers how usually he pulled one of his many, many pranks and glitter traps for ANBUs he'd notice the dead chakra zones that were an ANBU or two following him around to stop him from any trouble.

...Yeah people definitely complained about him the way they do now about Naruto.

Cannot possibly explain how feral I feel about the Hadestown proshot having so many shots that include the audience. Because they’re as much of a part of the story as Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and Persephone are. Because they are there watching however they’re powerless to do anything except watch because that’s just the way the story goes but they sing it anyways and and and

this is an epic exposure of how propaganda functions.

Always worth watching, even if you've seen it before, bc its a great refresher for how propagandists like Kirk work.

waaaay back when I was a cashier in retail we would talk about dumb shit while unloading the truck, and we got to the "what would you do in a zombie apocalypse" me and another worker were like yeah we would just die. End it all, we can't fight or run or shit. I refuse to put that much effort into survival.

And my manager was like no!!!! If that happened, I would drive to find you guys in my truck and we could eat stuff from my wife's garden and I would make sure everyone I know survived!! I would carry you all on my shoulders away from the zombies!!

Anyway, random shout out to that guy. You were too kind for retail management, Devin.

lesbianshepard

also afterwards everyone who was talking about their cool bunker fantasies were like "Damn, Devin's right, we should also be considering helping people around us." which is the only recorded instance of a retail shift making people better human beings.

That’s exactly why I don’t like most zombie apocalypse stories (or most other post apocalypse stories). They always fall into the trap of Everyone Being Awful.

The idea that societal collapse exposes mankind’s true nature ignores one thing: society IS mankind. We make it, just by being around each other. Social mores and customs aren’t arbitrary rules inflicted on us by some unseen force, they’re our own behaviors and views. We say please and thank you because we want to be kind. We establish charities because we want to help others. We set up garbage cans because we want to be clean. We’re the ones setting the standards and frowning at the people who don’t rise to meet them. We’re the ones who are appalled by the cruelties in our history.

Yes, we’re capable of truly awful things, but we’re also capable of remarkable kindness. We’re capable of more goodness than we give ourselves credit for.

THANK YOU

The problem with nearly every post-apocalypse story is that they take the worst behavior of people during a riot or a natural disaster, extrapolate it to all of humanity, and assume that situation never changes. But even the worst disasters end. Hurricane Katrina looters aren't still looting. And there were far more people helping than looting.

I'm so tired of this assumption that the worst of humanity is "realistic" while the best is cartoonish or childish. Every single time there's a disaster, or a crisis, you see people helping and people risking their lives for others. Hell, we've even had societal collapses before and we've rebuilt civilization every time. The real childishness is assuming all people are, at heart, selfish and uncaring. Because that's how bitter teenagers who have never experienced the world view it.

ive been thinking for a while now, i know the show is half whimsy and half politics but Anyas role has always been the most interesting to me.

In an adopted family as a kid that has been experimented on before, possibly have been done tests on, been in a high stress environment coming into a dynamic where she feels safe. Yet this family exists on the condition that she does well in a different high stress environment, in academics which probably never been her strong suit, already starting from a set back (being younger than her peers) is just so interesting to me. Untapped potential.

And imagine having all these horrible experiences, terrified you’re going to be put back in it if you don’t perform AGAIN, coming from a place where you were made to achieve either a war or world peace, to a family where your job is to make world peace happen. The two situations have so many parallels and there is just no way a kid wouldn’t be triggered by it sooner or later. I always imagined she slowly grows up to have performance anxiety.

Anyways this is part one hope its not confusing:p

The Muppet I'd most like to embody is Kermit.

He's got big dreams, he wants to put on a good show that makes people happy. He tries a bunch of different kinds of art, even if he's not the best at it. He gets frustrated but presses on. He knows that his community is his greatest asset and strength.

He looks out at the world and does a happy little "hmmm", because what he sees is beautiful and silly and a bit too large, but his ideas for it are even larger.
