Contemporary composers: hey, let's f**ck with people's expectations of music

Contemporary composers: idk, random screaming sounds like a good idea

Contemporary composers: let's add an impossible time signature for good measure

Contemporary composers: *throws cat out the window* yeah, this is a good sound to add too

Day 11 of #BlackHistoryYouDidntLearnInSchool - Ruby Bridges

I recognize that some of y’all learned about Ruby Bridges in school, so did I. But in school, I didn’t realize how difficult and harsh the conditions were for Ruby Bridges. I wasn’t taught that there were crowds each day threatening her, that her family was ostracized and lost their land and jobs, that she received death threats while in school. Some of the black history we learn in school is downplayed. The fact that Ruby Bridges attended an all-white school is radical and important. I want people to know that. We went over it in history class as if it was nothing and that to me is inexcusable. That is how much of my education about black history in school has gone and I’m not for that.

Megamind - 'Bad Guy' vs ‘Nice Guy’

[ohfantasyworld]

Seriously, if you haven’t see this movie, you really, really should. There are so many great things about Megamind: anti-bullying, great female character, funny jokes, touching scenes, very detailed animation, super awesome music… The gif set above is probably my favourite thing, however: Nice Guy is the bad guy.

[thatfilthyanimal]

Yeah I’ve kinda wanted to talk about this a lot.

Megamind is the villain, the “bad guy”. She makes it clear that she doesn’t want him. He respects it and walks off. It comes up a few more times but it’s more of an “are you sure?” or “thats how it is” than any sort of demand.

Hal is the new “hero”. His crush on Roxanne turns into an immediate “You love me now because I’m a superhero!” and when she makes it clear that she doesn’t want him, his reaction is to tantrum, then destroy the city, inevitably killing people, and attempting to kill both Roxanne and Megamind.

Hal’s legitimately scary because women have to deal with behavior like his on a constant basis. Don’t be a Hal. Be a Megamind. RESPECT THE “NO”.

Unrelated, but my other favorite thing, besides the whole “villain is a Nice Guy”, is that Minion cross-dresses and Megamind is completely serious when he says “you look fantastic”. Megamind is totally cool about his best friend cross-dressing and encourages it. That’s very important.

Roxanne also is the only character that moves the story along. All the other characters are having an existential crisis. Roxanne throws things and steps up first and is just a fucking queen.

Also I am like 200% convinced Megamind is bi. BUT THATS ME NOT OFFICIAL CANON although Dreamworks has like abandoned Megamind entirely so fandom says he’s bi THE END fandom-canon is now canon fight me on this

Sometimes I think this movie came out a few years too early. Tumblr would have loved the shit out of this. This movie fucks with stereotyped gender roles and Nice Guy thinking and just augh Dreamworks why did you let go of this why why why that was the worst decision ever why

This this this THIS THIS THIS

[foxofwar-deactivated20181216]

Sums up perfectly why I love this movie. (Aside from the all the other good reasons.) <3

[unimpressives]

That awful moment when you learn that this wasn’t scripted. That Will Smith’s character was actually supposed to brush off the whole thing, but Will’s father actually had left him when he was younger and he just fell apart on the set and the hug at the end was from one actor to another, not one character to another…

[lucid-eyess]

Always reblog.

[enbyho]

STOP SPREADING THIS FUCKING LIE. THIS WAS SCRIPTED. WILL SMITH’S FATHER WAS ALWAYS IN HIS LIFE. STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT. HE IS A WONDERFUL ACTOR AND HE MADE THIS BELIEVABLE, THAT IS ALL. FUCKING WHITE PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE EVERY BLACK PERSON’S SUCCESS BASED IN “THIS WAS THEIR REALITY” FUCK YOU.

Women with disabilities excluded from domestic abuse law, say campaigners

[goldenheartedrose]

Male carers who can prove they are acting in their partners’ interests would escape punishment under ‘coercive control’ legislation

Isn’t this fun? /sarcasm And by fun I mean spectacularly horrible and disgusting. If you are a feminist and you care about domestic abuse laws etc, you should definitely pay attention to this, and the fact that disabled people, particularly women, are excluded from being protected under this law. When 80% of disabled women are abused at some time in their lives.
