“Next Tuesday, McDonald’s workers at restaurants in 10 cities will walk off the job at lunch, waging the first-ever nationwide strike to combat sexual harassment.” 

- TIME’S UP

McDonald’s Workers Are Going on Strike Over Sexual Harassment

NEXT TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 18th - SUPPORT THE STRIKE!!!

[softheartedbutch]

hey i know i don’t have many followers but please spread this

sexual harrassment in the food industry is so prevalent that most women (including myself!) expect it when they come to work. And mcdonald’s workers are some of the absolute most vulnerable and least appreciated.

[softheartedbutch]

even if you don’t eat at mcdonalds you probably have followers who do and followers who work there and would like to see you supporting them

You shouldn’t give Lovecraft too much shit because most of his racism was because he was a kooky aristocratic shut in who took after his dad (the one who actually named the cat). Once his wife divorced him he actually left the house and he actually became a lot more well-adjusted and embracing of different cultures which is more than I can say of people on here

[trilllizard666]

he was a crazy loopy shutin who was almost always broke and eating so little for most of his life some people think he might’ve actually been hallucinating lmao

then when he got some perspective later on in his life he was like

“wow, I was fucked up”

[daisenseiben]

In his later works you can actually see the revelation hitting him.

[roll-for-anal-circumference]

Robert E. Howard, the only non-cat H.P. Lovecraft ever called a Dear Friend in public, once commented that Lovecraft wasn’t any more racist than was actually uncommonly open-minded given his upbringing as a New England aristocrat.

And yes, the later works went really far into showing how he was dislodging his head from his ass on race. And as someone who was raised in a house that was casually racist without realizing it, I have a lot of sympathy for him. Its a long and slow process to unlearn that shit.

I referenced this awhile back and wanted to touch on it again, as I think it’s something that many people, myself included, weren’t aware of. That’s not to say, of course, that his earlier stuff wasn’t intensely problematic. However I think it’s important to recognize growth when it happens.

Is there anything more excruciating than not knowing if someone is “feel bad, need space”, “feel bad, need u to reach out” or “literally fine, just busy, stop pestering me”

[lizardsister]

the princess bride is exactly what a dnd campaign would look like as a movie like? the delightfully weird cast of characters with their own quirks, the strange pacing and narrative that still Works, the absolute absurdity of it all, the jumping back and forth between wanting to be serious and it being really funny, hell its even Told like a dnd story through the use of the grandfather being the one telling the story

what a fantastic fucking movie

[lizardsister]

also like the character backstories are SUCH dnd backgrounds like? “im out for revenge for my father who was killed by a guy with six fingers on one of his hands” “i bumped into a band of pirates and their leader liked me so much he ended up having me take on his title to retire”

that is the Exact shit that people come up with for dnd characters

DM: having narrowly escaped Humperdinck, you find yourselves in the dangerous Fire Swamps

Westley: do I know anything about this area? Any danger?

DM: roll a history check

Westley: 15

DM: you know of rumors of giant rats in the swamps, as well as quick sand

Westley: what do I know about the giant rats?

DM: roll nature

Westley: [nat 1] …… rodents of unusual size? I don’t think they exist

DM: hey what’s your passive perception-

When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.

Op I’d like to thank you for sharing this. Ever since the first time I’ve read it I’ve held it in my mind and it really has helped me to be kinder to others and to myself.

….I don’t remember drawing this but this is an accurate daily interaction with my cat

[acecasinova]

Also I know halflings can’t in canon have babies w/ like any race that won’t just produce a halfling (Dragons/dryads/celestials/fiends can, but that’s just making aasimar/tieflings/sorcerers)

But consider: Halflings are like the CORGIS of fantasy races, so if another race has a kid with a halfling, they just look like a half sized version of the other parent

[scrap-patch]

GIVE ME VISUALS YOU COWARDS.

[acecasinova]

G*d you’re so right

[jynxtaposition]

I’m so running with this. Imagine… Tabaxi Halflings trying to pass themselves off as a large cat.

[acecasinova]

“What do you mean ‘too big’? I’m a Maine Coon, clearly”

[daikiraichu]

lmao my current character is half halfing and half orc. She’s two and a half feet of rage and is always ready to throw down. Her last name is Kneecrusher, bc that’s all she can reach.

[fieldbears]

This is… Very Good

my favourite genre of food that exists in almost every culture is “filling surrounded by a whole bunch of unhealthily cooked dough”

[dingdongyouarewrong]

japanese gyoza? talented

indian samosas? brilliant

chinese bao? incredible

austrian knoedel? amazing

polish pierogi? showstopping

korean mandu? spectacular

italian ravioli? iconic

tibetan momo? outstanding 

american fritters? killer

literally anything vaguely resembling a dumpling no matter where it comes from or what’s in it? fucking a plus

[tygermama]

this is one of the best things that ties humanity together

The Wolf, the Atlas and the Bayard

Or an Analysis of what Season Seven was Meant to be before They Rewrote it to Accommodate Black Paladin Keith 

At one point, the EPs mentioned a version of s7 where Shiro went back to being Black Paladin. I hypothesize that was the original version. When they got the go ahead to make Keith Black Paladin, rather than rewrite the entire story, they rewrote parts of the script they already had to fit that. 

This would explain why there’s no mention in the script as to why Shiro isn’t Black Paladin anymore. Because in the original script, he was. 

So, here’s a few things I think ended up being changed, added, moved around or cut from the original to make this new vision “work.”

First Start by Realizing the Truth: There was no Wolf

Let’s go back to s6 and assume everything happened exactly the same way it did… only minus the wolf. Does this change anything in the plot? No. The wolf appears in s6, but does nothing but stand around in the background and presumably provide extra moral support for Keith during their long journey. You could remove the wolf entirely and it would change nothing. 

Kind of like Shiro in the first half of s7.
