ACTIVISM =/= TERRORISM

JUNK TERRORISM BILL NOW

[elementarymydear]

Please help the Philippines. This is for everyone seeing this right now, especially to non-Filipinos.

There is a bill called “The Anti-Terrorism Bill” which gives law enforcement agents and military personnel to be able to arrest anyone suspicious without any warrant. This bill can be abused and used to target anyone who is giving criticism about the government, the military, the police, etc.

Imagine getting arrested for posting a meme. That’s a possibility if this bill gets approved by the president. The thing is, the president just made the bill urgent. He wants this bill to be made into a law. Doing so will silence the Filipinos.

So please please help us. Especially those out of the country since there’s no chance that you will be arrested.

I will post some pictures for more information including how to help us.

I got a lot of beef with the concept of dust. absolutely no reason for something to get dirty just because nothing has touched it. bullshit.

Controversial sh opinion - 

All the talk about the TID show made me think about something that never really sat well with me in the shadowhunters show. 

The rune placements. 

I know this is like the least significant flaw in the show considering the effects and whatnot, but I’ve always been a little annoyed by that. 

I felt that some of the runes were placed on the actors to make them look sexy. Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy that neck rune on Alec as much as the next person - It does look great. 

But I also feel that they overdid a little. 

For example, the angelic rune in Izzy’s cleavage or the parabatai rune in Alec’s abs - I mean, come on!

One of my favorite runes in the books is the voyance rune in the outer palm of the nephilim. I wish they had kept that

I just hope the runes don’t get sexualised in the TID show. Okay bye now. 

[my-archerboy]

Agreed. 

And the placement of Alec’s parabatai rune was almost definitely done so they could get a scene with Matt’s shirt off which is particularly annoying considering in the books it was on his shoulder blade 

[marquisoforder]

That Angelic Rune on Izzy’s clevage bugged me so bad. And it kind of seemed like they treated runes the same way one would treat tattoos to a certain extent. You know like an accessory but with more power in the shadowhunters’ case. So agreed 100%.

Also specifically when it comes to TID, rune placement is kind of a big deal?

Because if I remember correctly Will’s parabatai rune is over his heart. Where the marriage rune would usually be placed but since he thought he’d never find love and therefore marriage, he chose to have the parabatai rune there. Which in itself is part of Will’s story AND his relationship with Jem.

I sure do hope they would stick to the original placement of the runes instead of just putting them in places just so they can show the most skin.

posting because some people see the united states as a monolith run by a crazy person (that part is true), but we also have individual state governments trying their best despite all that.
