Regardless, I can now be found @zirconiumwit . So zirconiumwit.tumblr .com. see you there, everyone!
For @owleyes-art

Sophie Okonedo in The Hollow Crown

Apparently I should be checking out this miniseries adaptation of Shakespeare’s history plays, immediate-style.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, WRONG! A black woman playing a white English queen? And I’m not even talking about the armour nonsense. What’s next a native american roman emperor wearing a grass skirt? A white Ghandi wearing ripped jeans and psychedelic shirts?
If you throw reality and historical accuracy out of the window for being PC you’re movie isn’t worth watching because it can have no real message.
And this is why I don’t have any plans to stop blogging here anytime soon. Until the concept that “historical accuracy” means “only cast white people” dies a well-deserved death, I’m going to keep posting art and documents that prove that casting historical adaptations with people of color is MORE accurate that leaving them out. When it comes to Black women characters in European Medieval and Renaissance theater, you can go back to PRIMARY sources and see them for yourself:
It sickens me that after three years of posting my research, there are still people who look at images as beautiful as these and say that it’s wrong. This is a Shakespeare adaptation; are you seriously sitting there thinking that everyone’s in Shakespeare’s writing, or in Elizabethan England, was white? The idea of people of color existing outside where YOU think they should be is somehow ridiculous?
You’re wrong. You’re Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, WRONG.
fun fact: I drew this at work and there was nothing wrong
(but something went very wrong once I got home so was I really right the whole time?)

College Freshman Stabbed to Death After Seeing Three Young Women Being Groped and Stepping in to Help
With final exams on the horizon, Donnell Marcus Phelps was all set to finish his freshman year at Fort Valley State University in Georgia.
The 19-year-old from Marshallville had been studying agricultural engineering technology but also found time to manage the university’s tennis team.
And help those in need.
Late Tuesday afternoon he witnessed a man harassing three young ladies. The man was touching these girls in a very inappropriate way, so he decided to step in. However, he was forced to bring fists to a knife fight.
An autopsy showed Phelps was stabbed four times in the upper torso with a pocket knife with a 3.5-inch blade.
“Words cannot describe the pain that we all feel in the Fort Valley State community,” university President Paul Jones said at news conference, offering condolences to Phelps’ family, friends, students and the entire community.
Johnson described Phelps as selfless: “He always gave us hugs, and he’d always check up on us,” she added to the Telegraph.
Donnell Phelps died a hero. His Mom did an incredible job raising an amazing person. God bless this young man for his sacrificial act of bravery. His life matters.
RIP Donnell Phelps.

Only 19 years old and died protecting women in a day and age when people will literally be bystanders & shut an eye to someone else being harmed. Beyond brave and this is so heart breaking.
terrible
also people who spam bastion in overwatch are fucking assholes
operation: protect the president
OPERATION PROTECT THE PRESIDENT
HEY so this is a comic called “Scorpio” I wrote and drew for an independent study. I’m pretty proud of it. I might do something w these characters/setting again but I also wanted to do something that stands on it’s own.
Omfg! She is GOLDEN 😀😄
This is why I want Elizabeth Warren to run for president. It probably won’t ever happen though.
Get sexual diseases! :D Do whatever you want! :D
That’s basically what they’re advocating. Just like Planned Parenthood saying that women have no obligation to tell their partners they have an STD.
That literally never happened
@sylvestrium
Do you know the name of that thing you posted with Planned Parenthood telling women they don’t need to disclose any illness they may have with their partners? This t* wants to see it.
http://thefederalist.com/2015/12/22/planned-parenthood-says-hiding-hiv-from-sex-partners-is-a-right/
planned parenthood deserves every firebombing they get
“Pro-life” everybody!!
And lmao of course this entire thing is bullshit, but what do I expect from the federalist?
This is the pamphlet that they’re referring to: http://www.ippf.org/sites/default/files/healthy_happy_hot.pdf
I didn’t get through the entire thing because it’s 20 pages, but I went through the relevant parts cited in the link provided by sylvestrium and of course the article is utter bullshit.
Yeah, the part where they’re referring to the fact where it’s a persons right to decide if they disclose? It’s talking about social stigma, as in disclosing to people in your life (not necessarily sexual partners) like family members and coworkers. The part where they talk about criminalization is tiny, but it actually fucking gives you tips on how to protect yourself *by encouraging you to disclose your status and being able to prove that you disclosed your status to your partner*. In fact, this pamphlet gives a LOT of tips on how to disclose to your partner, and even goes so far as to say that practicing safer sex is sexier, while providing tons of advice on how to practice safer sex. for something that’s supposed to be advocating NOT disclosing, they spend an AWFUL lot of time discussing the best ways to disclose and keep other people safe from becoming infected.
So bullshit. Absolute and utter bullshit.
Also want to point out for those still doubting planned parenthood and the whole privacy thing - it is literally illegal for them to tell someone “hey Jerry has hiv so get tested”, literally fucking illegal, but these people do get phone calls informing them “someone you had sex with has tested positive for hiv so you should get tested too” so fucking bite me
You’re all literally making up bullshit reasons to hate planned parenthood, but I mean what do I expect from white supremacists? They hate first and make up reasons to explain why later, even if they have to lie and distort the truth. Nothing new here.
i hope these wizard pugs make your day better

I went to bed a while ago, but I couldn’t sleep. I guess it’s been a while since I’ve taken time to articulate my situation anywhere.
I’ve been working at the university for almost 6 months now. I’m looking forward to the milestone, to be honest. It marks half a year of making mostly positive decisions for myself, half a year of trying to pay down my excessive debts on a just over minimum wage job that doesn’t make me want to kill myself, and half a year more that I haven’t really made any ground on personal goals such as moving toward graduate school, conquering depression, losing weight or getting onto hormones again. I mean, after all these close calls, I guess I should be glad I’m not homeless. I do miss having my own apartment, though.
In the past half year, my father lost quite a bit of income. He lost his job as an engineer, and began working as a manager trainee at Menards. Quite a downstep, but after a year of searching, he was willing to take anything. Until, of course, he earned employment as an assistant manager at another store and they fucked him out of 10% of the pay they verbally agreed on. So he began searching in earnest for another job. Which, they took note of his lack of enthusiasm in his work and knocked him back down to associate level employment, part time work that made me the primary wage earner for a family of four. I didn’t cope well with that, either. On work that earns me just over minimum wage, full time or not, I was not prepared to carry the family. He did eventually earn additional employment as a tech worker at an engineering facility, and he’s happy there, making more money than he ever did at menards.
And that left me just kinda floating in my weird little bubble. I’m working a job, but I don’t have transportation myself so I depend on a kind of strange older lady who commutes to the same place as I do. She’s a lovely person, but she takes quite a bit of time off, and ponders aloud the possibility of taking additional time off, so it’s quite stressful since I have no time off saved up yet. It also leaves me just kinda riding back and forth for an hour each way to work, which is frustrating since that’s a lot of time to spend on wheels every day. A lot of time that my mind spends wandering, and when I wander, I typically end up in some pretty dark places.
All in all, I suppose things are smoother now than they have been for a long time. I just worry that the bubble is going to burst. I’m faced with the probability of taking a three month vacation now, on account of my nine month university contract being up for the year.
going to the doctor when you’re chronically ill is weird.
It’s like imagine everything in your house is on fire, and you’re standing there and the fire department come in like, describe the fire to me and maybe we can find what caused it and put it out.
and you can’t just say everything so you’re like… well the fire in the curtain is the biggest but the fire in the photo albums might be doing the most damage also the fire in the couch is really inconvenient
occasionally the fire guy is like, well your tv is on fire so it might be electronic-fireitus but that would cause other things like fire in the dvd player
and you’re like, oh yes. that’s been on fire for years. I forgot to mention it because it’s always been a relatively small fire. It’s right next to the bookshelf which has much more fire.
and then the fire guy is like, oh. I wouldn’t worry about that. book shelf fire just happens sometimes.
THIS IS SO ACCURATE
Yes!!
Can’t stop reblogging
Oh. My. Aching. Head. This is beautiful.
