why is there such a stigma against wearing pads? like why is it that people who wear tampons are seen as ‘strong’ and ‘cool’? y’all know that someone people can’t wear them bc it hurts them or that they just don’t like them? stop making it seem like people who wear pads are childish and weak compared to those who wear tampons 

[deadlyantenna]

like jesus it’s a fucking pad it’s not that deep.

Let’s help those in need in Aleppo right now.

PraOn December 12th, over 100,000 people in East Aleppo were trapped in a 5 square kilometer range as they were being bombarded by airstrikes from Russia and the Syrian government to attempt to overtake the rebel-held area. “The Russia-backed ground offensive, which began on November 26, followed an intensive aerial bombing campaign that knocked out most of the medical facilities, targeted civil defence and municipal vehicles and blocked roads with rubble.” The world is sitting and watching a genocide happen before their eyes as civilians are being massacred. Families posted on various social media platforms to say their final goodbyes.

obviously “I take the gold” “alright then, I take some chairs” is a great bit, but the scene immediately preceding it where Travis tries to open the lock box with a check against every single stat as Griffin sarcastically narrates what’s happening to Magnus is equally great imo. “I make a constitution check!” “you and the box both drink poison and the box dies”

WTF? “Home Alone” is 25 this year????

[the-loquacious-lark]

I’M SO OOOOOLD!

[open-sketchbook]

this is an excellent time to talk about my home alone sequel idea

its 25 years later. a group of men track kevin down to an american-style suburban house deep in the jungles of cambodia. they stagger into his office, bruised and covered in feathers.

“you’re a hard man to find mccalister”

“not hard enough”

jump cut. a military officer is talking to a cia spook.

“you don’t understand. he’s the best. i saw him take apart a taliban kill team with nothing but the contents of a hardware store and a box of toy cars.”

cut to afgan desert. adult kevin in modern military gear presses a detonator. several cuts show a rube goldburg device launching paint cans into startled assassins via planks of wood.

cut back to dark office.

“he’s dangerous. unstable.” the spook says

intercut of a man trying to sneak up on maccalister when he steps on a rollar skate and falls down some stairs. there’s punji stakes at the bottom.

“that’s why he’s the best.”

lights cigar

cut back to officer talking to kevin

“your country needs you.”

“i needed my country, and it wasn’t there for me. why should i be there for her?”

cut to shady military black ops in the jungle, vietnam war style. kevin, in tiger strip special forces camo, watches a helicopter take off and fly away. cut to inside. the team, weary, sits in dejected silence, when one of them suddenly bolts upright.

“MACCALISTER!”

cut back

“we need you for one last job. we’ve assembled an elite team.”

zoom on kevin’s face

“no. i work… alone.”

HOME ALONE 3

cut to man strapped to chair in dark room. kevin is in the background, fetching something. he circles around him, rubbing his hands together.

“you’re going to tell me what i want to know.”

“fuck you.” the man spits.

kevin claps his hands to either side of the man’s face. He screams.

COMING THIS CHRISTMAS

kevin watches a city burn. a man points a gun at the back of his head.

“no fancy traps to protect you here. what you got to say to that, maccalister?”

kevin whirls, disarms him, and kicks him off a balcony.

“merry christmas, ya filthy animal.”

[nemeanlionblepping-deactivated2]

people don’t really get that in japanese culture, respecting your elders is an astronomically bigger deal. like, hanzo was literally pressured from birth to fit into this role for him, and the entire perspective is so drastically different than western standpoint allows that i don’t even know if it’s even POSSIBLE for non asian people to understand. 

here’s the fact: hanzo has PTSD, he was psychologically scarred from what happened, and his stifled, fluctuating anger comes from the fact that in japanese culture, there just isn’t a way that you’re meant to express that. the weight of his emotions is something that he is not emotionally or psychologically equipped to handle in the context of his culture. until you understand this, no, you cannot judge him.

hanzo gets so much unnecessary shit from the fandom when he and genji were both complete victims of circumstance. there’s no other way to frame it. people just don’t get that psychological tangles and concepts of that nature are just, viewed so differently in japan. hanzo didn’t get to feel conflict, that’s not how it fucking works. he doesn’t get to yell at the elders and rebel like some happy fairy tale, when you have a position, you’re supposed to do it, and if you’re conflicted, you keep it inside. this is a culture where suicide is often favorable to allowing yourself to have a full on breakdown. there is little to no argument that hanzo absolutely contemplated (and may still be contemplating) killing himself. in some cases, SUICIDE IS SEEN AS MORE RESPONSIBLE. 

hanzo literally couldn’t bear the weight of what he did and abandoned everything trying to redeem himself instead of just killing himself to stop the pain (this is, again, the much more common option). this is combined with the stigma against mental illness (especially those like depression, anxiety, and ptsd) and the pressure to just keep it underneath, and the fact that suicide is also a common response to something that you are deeply ashamed of (sound familiar??). YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF HIS CHARACTER UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND THE MOTHERFUCKING CULTURE. hanzo is so much more complex and tragic than the fandom has ever portrayed him to be and i’m so sick of his portrayal. 

edit: this isn’t saying you can’t dislike the character, there’s plenty of reasons why, and hell, you don’t even need a reason to dislike certain characters. this is telling people that he’s exponentially more complex than the fandom gives him credit for (and very important to me as a mentally ill japanese person), and making or seeing him as a flat asshole/stereotype is really ignorant at best, fucking hurtful at worst.

[deadlyantenna]

I watched this Japanese reality tv show where this girl broke down in tears after a guy repeatedly questioned her about her future plans, I never got why she got so upset because in the culture I come from it's really not a big deal if you have no clue as to what you want to do in your adult years. However, when I did some research, I found that if you're in that position in places like Japan, you're seen as not being a viable member of society, more than that, you’re a burden on society. Thisis the sentiment behind movies like battle royale. It’s a similar consensus to Victorian England, humans being seen as cogs in a machine useful for little else, all whilst expected tp upkeep a certain etiquette. Stripped of identity and individuality so that mental illnesses and symptoms of trauma that directly affect an individual’s raw emotion and mental chemistry, cannot be properlyexpressed and therefor treated, so it festers inside.

man i doubt any gaming controvery will ever top no man’s sky

like it had this absolutely massive marketing campaign, had huge backing from sony, sean murray even had televised appearances on american talk shows to show off his revolutionary new game and to talk about features in the game

and then the game came out and it was all fake. everything. every single screenshot, piece of footage, every single promised feature was all a lie. none of that was in the game. 

not even fucking multiplayer. 

they spent so much time in the marketing talking about the multiplayer and how every player was part of an interconnected universe and that, though unlikely due to the sheer size of the universe, players would be able to meet and interact with one-another

and then in less than a week two players “found” each other and it turned out the multiplayer was completely fake. there was no multiplayer. none of it was real. 

and then

everyone involved with the game, at least all of the most publicly recognizable people involved, fucking vanished

and the office hello games was using was abandoned

nobody knows where hello games went or where sean murray is 

a small team of indie developers sold the gaming community a lie, tricked one of the biggest multimedia companies in the world in to backing them, and then vanished 

nothing will ever top that. nothing will ever top hello games exploiting the hype and preorder culture surrounding video games for a profit and then running off with the money. i fucking dare the industry to top that. 

[pyronoid-d-deactivated20181217]

I really hope this entire debacle forces a change in the industry in a positive way where people start to actually be just the slightest bit more sceptical about trailers, screenshots, preordering and all that

[sleepy-savior-deactivated202507]

I just want to explain some errors in this.

1. Hello Games were not the ones responsible for this. When that first trailer released, they didn’t want to show it. They knew the trailer didn’t match the game, and they wanted at least six more months before a trailer release. The Publisher, Sony, basically gave them the ultimatum of “Show the trailer or we scrap the whole project”

2. All of those features that were promised but aren’t in the game? Also not Hello Games fault. A year ago they said they didn’t think the game would be ready for another 2-3 years, that there was so much stuff people wanted in it that they felt they should add before they could release it. Also, multiplayer wasn’t even something they planned on, and they never said it would be in the game. The game was even listed on Steam as a single player game, it has never been advertised as multiplayer. The only multiplayer feature advertised was that when a player names things, those names are online and everyone can see them. That’s it. So, again, not Hello Games fault, Sony gave them another “Do this now or we scrap the project” ultimatum.

3. A lot of features people claim were advertised that weren’t in the game were never advertised in the first place. People took things said by people with absolutely no official ties to the game as fact. so many things people expected were never actually things at all. They were things mentioned by live streamers and gaming news channels as features that could possibly exist based on the 20 minutes of footage that existed. They were theories that fans took as facts.

Now, I’m not saying the game wasn’t awful, what I’m saying is the fans aren’t the only ones getting screwed over by this. Hello Games was an indie company trying their best, and a shitty publisher gave them impossible deadlines, made them show footage that didn’t match the actual product and forced the game out before it was ready.

Sony took what should have been an amazing game for 2018-2019, and forced it to be a shitty game now instead. And because of that, those developers, who quit their jobs at huge companies to do this, will probably not be able to work in the industry anymore. Hell, pretty sure one of them is homeless, since the project lead sold his house to start the project.

This is not Hello Games fault, this is Sony’s fault, they were the ones in charge of advertising, they were the ones forcing out false trailers and telling lies about the game, not Hello Games.

[deadlyantenna]

Yeah the beef they received bothered me so much. I wrote an article on the game before it was released, I made sure not to research fan posts or watch streams talking about it and the only research I focused on was procedural content generation in that context. I’ve yet to play the game, but I doubt I’ll be disappointed because literally the ONLY thing I’ve expected from the game is boundless exploration with beautiful graphics. As that’s ALL that has been advertised officially. If the whole concept of a virtually endless world that continues to create itself was not actually part of the game sure I’d be disappointed but as you pointed out: not Hello Games’ fault. Sony are generally a terrible company and as I type this I hate that I even own a PS4. What also needs to stop happening is speculation about mysterious new games and their “features” as if it were fact. Video games are not just for mere entertainment, they are a form of art and should be respected as such. They’re not just there for you to have fun with, people work extremely hard and pour their lives into projects like this, it’s something to be taken seriously.

y'all i don’t care if dr strange wins a fucking oscar im not about to pay $10 for a movie ticket to watch bodkddjsj cosjdjs and friends in yellowface for 2 entire hours id honestly rather stab myself

California Restaurants Launch Nation's First Transgender Jobs Program

The unemployment rate for transgender people is double that of the general population. A new program aims to change that. It's all because of a trans woman who's employed trans people for years.

[doomyqueen]

Whoa. For reals? YAY!

[albinwonderland]

‘in the years she’s had restaurants staffed with trans people, customers have been overwhelmingly supportive. And when they aren’t, she says bosses should be prepared to stand up for their employees.

“You know, you always hear the thing, ‘The customer’s always right’,” she sayss. “In my restaurants, the customer’s always right unless they attack you personally."’ This is the biggest part. Employers need to be prepared to back you up and support you as an employee. That’s a big part of how you create a welcoming atmosphere. There’s always going to be crappy people out there, but if you feel your boss will defend you and have your back, it makes everything more tolerable. 

[deadlyantenna]

one of the reasons I love working for Lush cosmetics. I’ve not personally witnessed any attack on trans people in my work environment from customers so far, but I know that if I did we would all stand behind them and support them.

One of the first companies I’ve encountered both from the side of the consumer and employee that has me feeling secure in their morals, values and integrity toward people and their right to feel safe with who they are, feeling confident in that, feel encouraged to be open with their identity and/or expression. It’s wonderful that other companies are making active steps to not only match this (whether by influence or coincidence) but take it one step further.

[wolfteacreations]

While stacking wood the other day i found myself a strange frumpy looking arachnid… i saw it had 2 main black stripes and figured it was a deformed wolf spider or possibly a common grass spider. Upon lots of scampering around on my knees and a much closer inspection…. the frumpy lumps on the abdomen were in fact… BABIES! Which meant that the lovely arachnid before me, was a momma wolf spider.   I have never had the opportunity to see hatch-lings on a wolf spider before, so you bet your ass i picked her up for some glamour photos before releasing her back <3

Wolf Spiders are the only spider i know of that show much “maternal” instinct, a female will carry her egg sac around with her ( attached near or at the spinnerets i believe?) until the babies hatch. Once hatched, they climb onto their mothers back for several days until they are ready to hunt prey on their own. This is incredibly different from other spider species, usually the parents run off, eat one or the other and then run off, die or are their babies first meal upon hatching. 

Wolf spiders have incredible eye sight, are nocturnal, cunning, smart and crafty. They even make little spider hobbit holes with tiny pebble doors or bark lids that act as a rain barrier. Despite what many may think, in majority of cases a wolf spider bite will merely suck for a couple days with some swelling, itching and discomfort. For some reason i hear most people correlate a wolf spider bite to the dreaded brown recluse….. not even close. A bit of excitable nerdy information on one of my favorite spider species.

[deadlyantenna]

I’m fucking shit scared of wolf spiders but damn if these aren’t some beautiful shots.

[femmefurina-deactivated20240814]

This isn’t a very good edit BUT

I love anything vampire but it REALLY disappointed me how whitewashed Symmetra is. Aside from the obvious gross factor about it, it just kind of looks. Bad. Like it doesn’t match every other skin of hers. Like the outfit is REALLY cool and the turrets turning into weird creepy eyeballs is neat. BUT.

Eh. So I made a quick edit in SAI. People on Reddit have been saying things like “Oh well if she wasn’t pale how would we know she’s a vampire” so I’m thinkin’ to myself how would I, as an artist, approach that?

Here’s what I changed:

* Darkened skin to be closer to original skin tone, gave a brown tint so it’s less glaringly grey.

* Brightened up the glowing red bits for more contrast.

* Added glow to eyes… if I had the energy to get my tablet pen I probably would have done better. The particle effect could probably be really cool, like if you spin her around you get streaks of light or something.

* Added fangs.

* Increased contrast on the entire outfit to bring out the red and black more. The red is now more of a wine red. The grey turned more into a dark blackish-midnight blue, which I think looks pretty cool. It seems less washed out.

[the-exercist]

“What’s Your Excuse?” Yet another meme that I deeply hate.

By saying that people need an “excuse” in order to have a larger body or not exercise regularly, you are diminishing their own personal goals and motivations in life. You’re saying that all other aspects of their life are completely unimportant. Any valid reasons for focusing their attention on other goals are nothing more than “excuses” that should be brushed aside.

This is a huge problem. Your body should only be one section of what makes you you. Your hopes, your dreams, your passions and your loves are also important parts of your life. If those involve fitness? Hey, then I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun weight lifting and running and attaining that dream body of your’s. But if they don’t? Then I’m sure you’ll lead an incredibly happy and fulfilling life while doing whatever it is that you enjoy most. If that means that you don’t have the time, energy, or the desire to have 6-pack abs, then that’s a perfectly valid decision that you have the right to make. It is never an “excuse.”

What’s more, the majority of these “What’s your excuse?” memes tend to exploit people with physical disabilities. 9/10 will contain a person with prosthetic limbs or birth defects that have caused them to have no arms/legs. This is then put forward as something that could have been an “excuse,” yet the person instead rose above it and pursued a fitness lifestyle. Holding them up as this prime example of fitness is just a way of ignoring all the other aspects of their lives. It’s saying that their physical accomplishments are the only ones that matter. It’s saying that they solely exist as a way of inspiring other people towards a life of thinness. That’s….twisted.

Trying to compare our lives to the lives of these strangers is a false correlation. You can’t simply say “Look! They’re exactly like you! Except their life is harder and they still managed to look better than you!” That will never, ever be the case. These memes ignore the other privileges and hardships that people have in life. Wealth, access to a variety of food, “good” genetics, medical care, an emotional support network - Not everyone has access to these, yet these are some of the most important parts of attaining that stereotypically fit body type. 

Don’t do this - Don’t compare your situation to that of anyone else. I don’t care if you’re the love child of Jillian Michaels and Arnold Schwarzenegger - You are under no obligation to exercise daily or have a muscular body. You are perfectly justified in sitting on the couch all day long, if that is what you want to do. Your personal desires and goals in life are not an “excuse” for not exercising. 

So if someone asks “What’s your excuse?” just reply “I don’t want to.” That’s all that they ever need to know. 

[deadlyantenna]

This advert shows a complete lack of understanding, nay, total intolerance for those of any other walk of life. Not everyone wants to be uber fit and healthy, not everyone wants to push themselves to the limit and achieve amazing things, and that’s completely fine. That’s not laziness. Laziness is not washing the dishes when you’re perfectly physically and mentally capable of doing so, you just, can’t be bothered. There shouldn’t need to be an excuse because that implies that exercise and pushing yourself is a necessity when it’s really not. Nobody should be made to feel ashamed for not doing something they don’t have to do, and nobody should exercise just because they are guilted into feeling that they should. They should exercise if they medically need to, if they’re passionate about it, if they want to, if it brings them joy or they absolutely have to. My mind is consistently whirling with guilt and anxiety, and it’s really hard to delineate which feelings of guilt and anxiety are valid and need to be listened to, and which are unnecessary and are a product of society’s stupidly high standards. I don’t need extra added to that. This also sets up a standard or precedent for handicapped persons that may not want to do any of the above, which is even more unfair.

[thefatveganstruggle]

Vegans need to stop saying 'You cant love an animal and eat them too' Thats like saying you cant love a man and hate another because they're all the same, I can have an emotional attachment to a pet and not care about a chicken or a cow because thats how life works thats how life is, Its legal and its my choice. Respect what what you're doing but some things in your community make it look really really dumb

You can’t love animals and eat them too. It’s a fact. You can love SOME animals, but it’s just speciesism.

The fact is, not ALL animals are treated equally in the eyes of the human species, so you’re applying your emotive responses to being challenged.

Dogs are treated the same as other animals in certain countries, and people get outraged at that.

Did you know that pigs and cows are just as intelligent as dogs?

Basically comparing animals to men, or even the human race is a dumb comparison.

You don’t see males being dragged from women after being forcibly impregnated, or baby boys being thrown in to a grinder because they’re of no monetary value.

So fuck off.

[deadlyantenna]

I can love one man and hate another, but uh, I wouldn’t eat the man I hated. I can be emotionally attached to one person more than another, I can even not given two flying fucks about another person, but I wouldn’t PAY TO HAVE THEM KILLED SO THAT I CAN EAT THEM. I MEAN WHAT?! I wouldn’t make the entire world suffer, an entire species suffer, because of a potential indifference to the existence of a cow when compared to a dog. That argument makes no sense. I’m sorry but I kinda feel like Marge on that Simpsons episode with Fracking where she has to repeat over and over and over again “OUR. WATER. IS. ON. FIRE.” To Homer’s arguments in favor of it. How is this so hard?

[crintafea-deactivated20170314]

why are like, 90% of the punks here on tumblr are like, weird radical vegans/vegetarians?? ??? Like, is it just me or is that the majority here? Like if you’re a vegan or vegetarian, do ya thing no hate from me, i just find it odd that like, a shit ton of punkers on this site are super vegan or vegetarian.

[necessaryveganism]

Are punks such terrible people that you’d expect them to want to kill animals? :o

[vegan-wastoid]

Oh! Me!!! I know this one!! Punk has roots in anarchism/anti-opression (despite the hawk jocks at the forefront punk has always had a spot for POC/women/ queer people) and veganism and anarchism align perfectly. Its why so many punks identify as veganarchists!

[deadlyantenna]

the punk movement was all about antidisestablishmentarianism arising from early anarchist movements, the meat, dairy and egg industries are virtually an epithet of corrupt, capitalist, oppressive government. It’s hardly surprising that punks would oppose this.
