A living, sort-of functional mess

I really can´t decide what to put here... So I'll just remind you of the beautiful person that you are and I hope that everything is okay in your life, and if it's not, I hope it gets better soon. I have a fanfiction account: It's freeasever18.

TUMBLR WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM

THE BIGGEST FOREST RESOURCES OF THE PLANET ARE BURNING AND YOU BE LIKE

OH

IT'S RUSSIA, SO NO BIG DEAL :)))

You ask for reblogs every time some shit happens in America or Europe, hell, you even cared about Notre Dame and Greece forests burning. WHY THE FUCK DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT SIBERIA DYING IN FIRE

OH RIGHT, YOU CAN WATCH SHIT ABOUT ONE OF OUR TRAGEDIES IN TV SHOW, BUT WHEN ANOTHER TRAGEDY THIS BIG HAPPENS RIGHT FUCKING NOW - YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRETEND IT ISN'T HERE

MOST OF OUR COUNTRY IS ALREADY COVERED IN SMOKE, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHEN IT WILL REACH MOSCOW AND FURTHER CITIES, BIG PARTS OF OUR FORESTS ARE ALREADY GONE IN FIRE, ANIMALS ARE DYING HERE

AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE WORST? WE CAN'T EVEN FORCE OUR GOVERNMENT TO USE ANY. FUCKING. FORCES. AGAINST FIRE

MOST OF OUR PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT, BECAUSE OUR TV DOESN'T SPEAK ABOUT IT

AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS DO? RIGHT, YOU REMAIN SILENT. BECAUSE IT'S NOT CLOSE TO YOU. BUT LET ME TELL YOU THAT - IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHEN IT WILL AFFECT YOU, TRUST ME.

Look at this. If those photos don't affect you, you can shove your pathetic posts about saving our eco system deep into your ass.

There is nothing can be done without help and talking about it. And yes, it's this time when it's really YOUR duty to share this information with everyone. You can hate us. Many of our problems got silenced just because world doesn't care. But trust me, when all of our forests will die in a fire, you will be the next one to go.

Today I used this blog to speak, and if you don't like it - fuck you. But the next time you will post shit about global warming, social/economic problems, etc. - remember the time you ignored a problem this big and go fuck yourself.

Reblog this if you believe that Demisexuality exists and if you support Demisexuals

I’m sick of seeing apparently ‘LGBT inclusive’ posts that completely disregard my sexuality. I want to know who out there believes that I and others like me exist and have a valid sexuality. 

[voiceactresskurutta]

[creativebeast18]

It definitely exists. Same as pansexuality and asexuality and all of the sexualities and genders. It's just harder to get recognition for us because compared to other sexualities, we are a minority

Into The Spiderverse took 100% of its critically acclaimed visuals from comic books and street art and while there are obvious in-universe reasons for this it can’t be ignored that BOTH of these are traditionally seen as “lowbrow” populist art forms, here celebrated for their inherent beauty, complexity and sociopolitical importance. In this essay I will-

[pinkiepiebones]

Where’s the essay OP

[thesnadger]

Not a full essay but lemmie tell you. Spoilers below.

Why does Miles stop at a time-sensitive moment to paint one of Peter’s suits when he’d probably want to get going as quickly as possible? Three reasons.

One, on a character level Miles is about to go into the scariest endgame fight he’s been in the entire movie. Taking the time to make the costume his own, to take this little part of the old Spiderman’s legacy and probably get some encouraging words from Aunt May is important to pysch himself up enough to do this.

Two, suiting up for the first time is an important rite of passage in superhero comics. It represents the character deliberately taking on the role. Miles has been wearing a kid’s costume because he feels like a kid trying to take on the role of a hero. By putting on a real costume, his own costume that he designed, he is becoming his own hero.

Three, his costume is an extension of his art. He uses spray paint to alter it, and we see little drips and splatters in the costume’s design. Miles is a street artist and his spider-suit is a street artists’s creation. 

Miles’s street art and his coming into his own as Spiderman are directly linked in the narrative in a way that’s too perfect to be accidental. His costume is made with spray paint. He’s bitten while painting a mural. He uses his spider-powers to put a sticker where his dad can’t find it. Jefferson doesn’t like Spiderman’s methods or Miles’s art. But in the end, he’s willing to work with both. And street art is the shared history Aaron, Jefferson and Miles all have even if they ended up on three drastically different paths.

Miles paints murals, throws stickers up on street signs, etc, both as self-expression and an expression of love for his city. It’s that same love for his home that makes him Spiderman, the city’s protector. His vigilante heroism and his illegal art are expressions of exact same thing.

[thesnadger]

And comics! This movie loves the language of comics! 

It loves the humor in seeing the words float in the air around the characters! It loves stylized human figures and kirby dots and dynamic transitions! It loves the way comics tell stories (note that every time a characters is narrating their backstory in Into The Spiderverse it switches to comic format, doing highly comic-specific things like having three characters telling their stories side by side.)

Miles reads Spiderman comics in-universe and they’re what helps him understand what’s happening. How many people who worked on this movie do you think read a comic at a formative age and saw themselves in it, in some way?

Of course, if I’m going to talk about the “language” of comics or the “language” of street art I can’t ignore the fact that these two art forms have influenced each other immensely over the years, joyfully borrowing from each other at every opportunity.

Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

(Watch how many people don’t get this.)

[marauders4evr]

#raises hand #i dont understand #please explain? 

In order for disabled people to receive any sort of financial assistant for their housing, food, bills, medical supplies, etc., they cannot ever have more than $2,000 of resources to their name. Ever.

It doesn’t matter what it’s for.

You’re saving up for a new wheelchair?

For college?

To put a downpayment on a house?

Hell man, you just happen to budget for once in your life so that you can have some extra money in case something bad happens?

Your benefits immediately get cut off if you’re a cent over $2,000.

And, even worse, you usually end up having to pay back every dollar the government gave you that month.

So say you get $400. If they find out you’re twenty dollars over the resource limit, you have to give them all $400 back and you undergo an investigation of your funds to see if you will continue getting money.

“What if I spend the money that day?”

Doesn’t matter. In fact, from what I can tell, people who do this are actually put under investigation for fraud.

And yes, this system literally kills people.

Remember when “Guardians of the Galaxy” came out? one of Rocket Racoon’s creators, Bill Mantlo, suffered an accident in 1992 and has irreparable brain damage.

before the movie came out, Marvel gave him an exclusive preview screening. SOme people were upset because they felt if Marvel was really wanted to thank mantlo, they should have donated money to Mantlo’s family.

Bill Mantlo’s brother had to come out and explain: If Marvel gave them monetary aid, Bill Mantlo would lose his financial assistance.

I have friends on welfare who won’t pick up a penny in the street because they’d risk the welfare they struggled to get for 10 years.

[raenboow]

oh look another fucked up thing in this world. let’s just add it to the list. number 63858b

[luvtonique]

My brother has been on California State SSI for autism for the last 10 years, and he absolutely has to (no joke, HAS TO) spend all 720 bucks of his SSI every month, because if he puts it in the bank he risks losing his SSI altogether.

Sometimes, at the end of the month, he has no idea what to do with his money because the whole month went by and he still has 400-ish bucks in his account, and he fucking panics because he doesn’t want to get anywhere near 2,000.

And here’s the funnest part of the story!

One day he did a huge commission on Second Life and wound up earning 1500 bucks off of it, and he told the guy to donate it 500 bucks at a time over 3 months. The guy didn’t want to, and just donated all 1500, which put my brother at 2,036 bucks.

The state IMMEDIATELY (I’m talking less than an hour) called him up to tell him over the phone that they were canceling his SSI, because they noticed he had gone over the 2,000 buck threshold. He had to tell them that someone had made a charitable donation to him and that this was not a common occurrence in any way shape or form, and upon not believing him, my mother had to call to talk to them as his legal caretaker and say basically the same thing until they called off the cancellation of his SSI money.

He also had to cancel his renter’s assistance because it put him to 1,062 a month, so if he went 30 days without spending any money they’d cancel his SSI altogether. Like, none of us in the family have any fucking clue why that regulation is in place and it’s the stupidest shit in human history.

Please, legal side of Tumblr, tell me what positive reasoning this law has?

[sodomymcscurvylegs]

Happy 4th of July everyone! This is what the “nation of opportunity” looks like.

[xfirecorex]

There’s something called an ABLE account that can help. If you are on SSI and were diagnosed as disabled before the age of 26 you can apply for an ABLE account that will allow you to save up to $99,000. More people need to know about this!

So I'm pretty much top tier terrified because the Amazon Rainforest is on fire. Like, that's seriously bad, isn't it??? How are we supposed to bounce back from this...?

Hey Anon! I’ve gotten a lot of asks about the Amazon forest fire situation so I’m going to address them all here.

The most concerning thing about the Amazon fires isn’t necessarily the fires themselves, but the reason that there are so many this year: This is almost certainly because Brazil’s current president is very anti-environmentalist, which has led to more clearing of the forest (which involves setting fires).

The fires themselves aren’t actually a new threat. People have been practicing slash-and-burn agriculture in the Amazon for a long time. What’s different this year is that there seem to be more fires than usual and they are impacting densely populated locations.

Something that I think is being glossed over by many of the images and headlines being passed around is that it’s very normal for there to be forest fires in and around the Amazon at this time of year.

Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research says that this is a record year for forest fires in Brazil since they started monitoring fires via satellite in 2013. 

However, NASA says that the overall fire activity in the Amazon basin as a whole is actually slightly below average compared to the last 15 years; fire activity has increased in Amazonas and Rondonia but has decreased in Mato Grosso and Pará.

A manager for Global Forest Watch has said that the fires this year are roughly equivalent to what they saw in 2016 (according to satellite images). Now, 2016 was also a bad year for forest fires, but it goes to show that this level of fire is not unheard of.

So, why are we only hearing about the fires this year if they’ve been this bad before? Probaby because ash clouds darkened the sky over the most populated city in Brazil, which is a big, dramatic, apocalyptic thing that tends to get people’s attention.

Although some meteorologists think the ash over Sao Paulo may have been caused by fires in Paraguay, not even in the Amazon, the air quality in populated areas has been so strongly affected that Amazonas has declared a state of emergency.

To be clear, it is still definitely bad that parts of the Amazon are burning and the fact that the fires are impacting air quality in populated cities poses very real human health risks. We should be speaking out about this, drawing attention to it, and donating to organizations that are working to protect the Amazon. But this is not necessarily an apocalyptic scenario.

And the good news? #PrayforAmazonia went viral on Twitter. Tons and tons of news sources are covering these fires in a way that Amazon forest fires have not been covered in the past. People are talking about Amazon deforestation and its potential impact on climate change.

This whole debacle is generating a lot of outrage towards Brazil’s presidential administration. Hopefully, this will lead to more international support for those who are fighting his damaging policies towards the Amazon and the indigenous communities that rely on it. By the way, I think it bears mentioning that last week an indigenous women’s march occupied a Brazilian health ministry building in protest of their president’s harmful policies.

Do you want to help? Donate! I really cannot stress how much small amounts of money can go a long way in situations like this.

Donate to SOS Amazonia, a Brazilian NGO working to preserve the Amazon (I can’t find any third party information on how reputable this NGO is, but I think this may largely be because of the language barrier-they’ve been operating since the 1980s)

Donate to Rainforest Trust which buys and protects rainforest land all around the world (4/4 stars on Charity Navigator)

And don’t forget to vote for politicians that prioritize environmental protection and can put pressure on Brazil’s government to clean up its act!

i’m really excited to have my second interview tomorrow for a wonderful company in georgia. but i’m also really nervous that they won’t be able to give me relocation benefits so i won’t be able to actually take the job…this is the first job i’ve actually been interviewed for and i’ve been searching for a job for almost a year. so i’m hoping everything goes exactly how i need it to.

Reasons why I like tumblr

1. None of my family is on here

[keep-chasing-rainbows-deactivat]

2. Barely anyone in my life knows the website even exists.

[celestialdeth]

3. employers won’t ask for my tumblr handle

[celtic-pyro-deactivated20230725]

4. Website doesn’t post a “timeline” with laser-targeted ads about me.

[markingatlightspeed]

5. Non-algorythmic feed. It lets me read shit in the order it was posted.

[itistimetodisappear]

6. Can’t see other people’s follower counts. Big and small blogs interact/mix better, no one is idolized.

[dammitradar]

7. No one, absolutely no one, can manage to make money off us little shits

[creativebeast18]

Why I'm on Tumblr? Because every creative thing I have ever done gets critized by my family. I made this drawings about cute things that said creepy stuff, kind of like Tim Burton's style. What did my mom say? "You have a strange psychology". And she said it like she was disgusted by it.

That's not a compliment. I get if you don't like it, if it's not your style, but don't treat what you say as if it was a compliment.

But here, no one knows about my psicology, just that I like to write. And the things people tell me are actual critizism that helps me improve.

[veilblight]

"Boycott Sony" are y'all okay?? Who do you think made into the Spider-Verse??? Which is literally the best Spiderman film ever? Who do you think gave you Venom?? I have to laugh

[artwh0r3]

More importantly which company has a chokehold on the entertainment industry and which company just wants a fair cut of the funds/profits to keep making said good movies? Don’t let Disney make Sony out to be a villain when they’re not.

[lightdusk96]

Who do you think screwed with Spider-Man 3? Who do you think was responsible for all the problems of the terrible TASM movies? Who bought the rights to Spider-Man for table scraps and denied them proper compensation when they were desperate?

Y'all can keep your garbage-ass Venom movie. There are no "victims" here, just greedy corporations fighting like babies.

The only difference is one of them is competent and the other isn't. Guess which is which?

I’m posting this multiple times today so everyone sees it, you should too.

[shamelesslyunladylike]

Ok, but this post doesn’t say WHY it’s burning. This is no accident. A bunch of land speculators, big agro farmers, lumber & mining ops people, and similar types, instituted a “Day of Fire” where they all decided to burn down the forests at the same time, to “clear up” the terrain, sometimes for pasture or farming, sometimes for absolutely nothing because they don’t even know what to do with it yet, they just wanna sell it sometime maybe.

This was no accident. This was a purposeful, criminal action, sanctioned by Bolsonaro’s government, who’s been encouraging the destruction of the rainforest, persecuting activists, genociding indigenous people and defunding state and federal efforts to fiscalize and combat this kind of criminal activity.

There’s not enough punishment in the world for these people, nor for the people who voted for this piece of shit. You are all guilty. Fuck you.

Eartha Kitt’s performance as Yzma…the music…the comedy…the Kronk. It is a perfect film

[sandersstudies]

Additional reasons:

Every single character is a PoC

Real relationship goals: Pacha and ChiCha

Really diverse body types on everybody!

Classic tropes and classic tropes subverted (enemies to friends, anyone?)

Kronk

Also Kuzko’s character arc is nice to see, instead of ‘be yourself’ it’s like ‘hey, don’t be an asshole’ and he actually learns it

Also r*mance wasn’t at the center of the story, growth was, and that was really refreshing

Absolutely true! I remember constantly watching this movie and the second one as a kid and loving them because of this!! The other movie that I still love just as much as this one is the one with the cows in the wild west, where they chase a thief through the dessert, all on their own. I don't know the name of the movie in English, but it was the perfect combination of comedy, angst, companionship, heroism...Damn, it was so good, and such an underrated movie too!

[dickgreyson]

im getting emotional bc like dicks able to be there for damian when something goes wrong w bruce. like dick didnt HAVE anyone, he had to go out and find himself, and sort himself out, and set himself up with a new life. but damian doesnt need to! if something goes wrong he can get some space from the situation, go and talk to dick, stay w him for a few nights, patrol w him. he has that safety net, that buffer. and i bet dick really loves that hes able to do that for him i dunno im just. im emotional.

[creativebeast18]

Remember that scene in Judas Contract? In which Dick asks where is Damian going, and he just pushes him away? Then Dick says it's just out of curiosity?

Like he is letting Damian be Damian and that's okay. He is staying far enough to let him have freedom, while still caring for him instead of monitoring his every move
