The biggest “your experiences are not universal” thing I feel is whenever anyone talks about the universality of girls planning their weddings since childhood because. Well. Not me. God bless

When the country doesn’t have easily accessible public libraries, piracy is sometimes the only option. They’ve been collaborating with the police to arrest poor street vendors and small book shop owners. Evil, just evil

we need conversion therapy to be illegal. we need parents to go to jail for doing this to their children. we need providers of conversion therapy to go to jail for offering a service that abuses and kills lgbt people. conversion therapy is a hate crime.

so christopher nolan drilled into an active historical site to rig a scene, dumped a bunch of plastic skeletons into the ocean with no plan to fish them out, and ruined an actual Viking ship on loan from sweden and refuses to pay for damages. all for that garbage movie.

i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck

THE ORIGINAL? ON MY DASH

this post led to a series of events that had martin scorsese himself reacting to his alleged movie goncharov and it has less than 400k notes almost 3 years later?

“I hate school I’m sorry Malala”- Funny yet poignant. Acknowledges both the difficulty of the task and the fact that doing that task is a privilege. Gives credit to the people who fought for that privilege with a tongue in cheek acknowledgement of the irony of the initial statement

“I’m just a girl I should be home baking bread not doing calculus” - at best historically uninformed at worst leaps decades back in time. Refusal to acknowledge the charged history of education and slights the centuries of women’s labor it took to reach this point

If there was a scene that just screams #kataradeservedbetter (and there were quite a few of them), it would be this moment where she confronts Tagah.

Here, Tagah explains the reasons he's doing this, and in response, she tells him about how Aang is "the reason this world knows peace". And the reason why I take issue with what the writers chose to have her say is that, well, SHE DOES UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S BEEN THROUGH (AND SHE'S ALSO A HUGE REASON THIS WORLD KNOWS PEACE)!!!!

Like, wouldn't she show that she fully understands what he's been through and empathize with him due to the trauma she suffered from Fire Nation's atrocities, which may I remind you made her one of the last remaining waterbenders of the Southern Tribe?! Wouldn't she talk to him about her decision to forgive Zuko despite all the terrible things he did to her and her loved ones, and how she doesn't regret forgiving him at all and still treats him like family? Wouldn't she talk about her own struggles and experiences in helping to keep the peace between every single nation as a council representative of Republic City? Wouldn't that have made for a more impactful scene than just having her hyping up Aang for a minute straight?

And to be frank, the movie does have a big issue with not giving enough development and focus to the other Gaang members, but what makes the treatment of Katara particularly egregious is that it's indicative of the treatment her character has suffered throughout the franchise (especially following her kiss with Aang). It feels like the franchise is deliberately neglecting the qualities she has and doesn't characterize her as anything besides Aang's lover.

And they wonder why so many people have issues with how her romance with Aang was handled. Myself included!

So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.

People love simple, extremely practical things. I hope you win!

I can't take it anymore. They took the Chinese out of Avatar. I'm so tired, Boss.

I KNOW……. not only is this choice absurd and stupid on its face, but they have the fucking AUDACITY to call this made up writing system “AVATARIAN.” dear god.

i love how whenever something gets popular the underground tormented avant garde bloggers start becoming self conscious of liking it/finding it funny, and it eventually evolves into aggression towards it. doesnt matter what it is. unrelated but i saw someone call isopods cringe today

My new pet peeve is people completely misunderstanding the term Male Gaze and making the term female gaze based entirely on that misunderstanding

the white boy of the month pushing his hair back and reading poetry for the camera is not the equivalent of the dehumanization of women in visual media by way of presenting them primarily as vessels for sexual gratification
