This is true but I'm gonna be controversial for a second and say that I feel bad for jocks who get hit with The Injury™️too. The Injury™️ fucking sucks, man. Having something that everyone praised you for when you were young suddenly betray you and having to grapple with both a sudden loss of ability (whether it's something that can be recovered from or not) and figure out what your future looks like now that the one you had imagined for yourself (whether it was actually realistic or not) feels like it's been snatched away is brutal.
Insane to me that disabled people will say: "Hey, your glorified idea of revolution is going to get us killed" and then be treated as collateral damage or a necessary sacrifice. Like, yeah, the systems in place now are oppressive and literally based on eugenics, but a Revolution™️is not going to save us. How are we supposed to trust you (abled people) to put good systems in place if you're ready to kill us to get rid of the old one. That's not saving people. Treating disabled people as if they're ridiculous for not wanting to die and pointing out how bad a revolution would be for us is insane. You're actually a horrible person if you do this.
I don't know, folks, I'm just so fucking tired of us disabled people either being ignored or told to shut up. We're treated as worthless and expendable. I'm not dying for your Great Revolution™️. I need my meds.
a small thing i learned from my sister dying is that i really would rather the people i love be a burden than be whatever the hell else they'd be if they weren't. yes even if it's messy and not always fair and hard completely inconvenient for everyone involved. even if it's weird. even if i'm rolling my eyes a bit inside sometimes. i just want you to bother me. please always bother me
like "it's rotten work" "not to me not if it's you" actually sometimes it's still rotten work. even if it's you. and i'd still do it a million times over
Victorian sexuality is often thought synonymous with prudishness, conjuring images of covered-up piano legs + ankle-length skirts. @drmatthewgreen uncovers a quite different scene in the sordid story of Holywell St, 19th-century London’s epicentre of smut https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/the-secret-history-of-holywell-street-home-to-victorian-london-s-dirty-book-trade
Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy being like, "I am 100% committed to respecting your 'no', but I heard you wouldn't promise my aunt not to marry me so I had to come and check just one (1) more time."
Does anyone know where I can find some nice POC photography?
Im trying to make a character inspiration board but most of the photography is of pale skinned and skinny people.
@cutabello that’s a great hashtag but they are mainly selfies and im looking for things like this:
Im trying to find POC photography where there are in the world and being magical, or being with family, or going on adventures or anything other than it just being a selfie or talking about racism. Yes racsim should be addressed but I’d love to see more POC in surrealistic or domestic photography where there isn’t an explanation for them being there they just are. Like this:
@openheartopenhead OH MY GOSH????
Within 5 mintues I found EXACTLY what I was looking for? This is amazing i can’t even fit all the photos i found im floored!!
Every one! Check out the website it is really good help
After seeing this post I created a board for images PoC characters on Pinterest (still pinning poc in other boards but I thought it would also help to have a separate board so that people don’t have to sort through all my other “Storyboard Resources”boards and sections) (It’s not organized in any way just thought I’d break it up into sections to make the searching seem more bearable as more and more images get pinned there)
PBS and NPR were never beholden to the US government.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was created so that the US government could fund public media without public media being influenced by the government. It was a private non-profit funded by the government, not a part of the government itself. This is by design. This was a good thing. It meant that even small local TV and radio stations, could afford to create media for the public good, without government influence.
This meant TV and radio stations for poor communities. For non-english speaking communities. For rural communities. For minorities. It meant that free and accessible media could be created for everyone, even if the government didn't like it.
That's why conservatives defunded it.
Because if they couldn't control it, and if it helped the people they hated, then they would have to destroy it. Do you really think that a fascist government would defund their own propaganda machine?
Not only is the idea that PBS before being defunded was propaganda wrong, but ignores the fact that defunding it is going to have long-term negative effects on vulnerable communities.
OP of the post in the screenshot called me an idiot and blocked me for pointing this out. So I'm setting the record straight. The CPB was never our enemy.
Hypnotees after handing control to mischievous hypnotists (ca. 1900). More diverting scenes here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/hypnotism-posters-ca-1900
This is such a sophisticated home, that even the child's room is color-coordinated beige. 1928 Hollywood Heritage / English style estate in Woodland Hills, CA. 6bds, 9ba, 6,474sqft, $5.995m (Zillow's est.: $5,697,400). It was once owned by actor Gene Hackman.
The stately entrance.
I have to say that this house doesn't even look lived-in.
The very formal living room.
They have black & white photos of the house from an earlier time, but you can tell that it was more colorful by looking at the furniture.
Well, they've got a little bar cart in this area.
Funny, this is cozy, but there doesn't seem to be a larger dining room. I do like the ceiling and the built-in cabinet, though.
The large eat-in kitchen.
All, this beige, but check out the powder room.
Small office with a cute little fireplace.
It's English style, but it has a bit of a gothic flair, too.
The large primary bedroom has a separate alcove for sitting, and doors to the patio.
Elegant closet and dressing table.
The mirrors are dizzying. The bath matches the rest of the house.
Here's the lifeless child's room. It does have nice shelving.
Look at the nursery. If I remember correctly, infants need color for proper eye development. Something like that.
This bath has a toilet alcove.
I like this bedroom. Well, specifically, that arched feature.
Here's a family room. Oh, a red chair in the corner. How did that get there?
The billiard room with doors to the pool. Even the pool table has a beige top and lighting fixture.
Oh, look, an art studio. Brown and beige paintings only.
