Tbh I don't understand people wanting to scare off twitter users. Like, I enjoy the jokes and all, but like.

Guys. We want twitter users to come here. We want as many people to get off of twitter as possible. Tumblr's pride and joy is costing verizon a billion dollars. I'll put up with a million more annoying people if it means I can be a part of costing Elon Musk 44 billion dollars. Bankrupt that mfer. Let the bird app become a desolate wasteland. Let it be the new myspace.

Welcoming twitter users and teaching them to not be dicks on this website is an important step in costing Elon Musk 44 billion dollars. Do your part to make his investment worthless.

i just want to one day be loved like elle woods’ sorority sisters loved her

[lizzibennet]

they all simply do not understand why elle wants to go to harvard so bad… yet they help her study, grade her tests, motivate her and all around fully support her from the moment she decides to go and never stop believing in elle not for a single second… like wow name me one sweeter moment in all of cinema, i’ll wait

sorry to be legally blonde blogging on main once again but i just wanted to talk about how easy it would’ve been to screw that movie up. the entire premise is based around a girl doing the most to get a guy, the main conflict of the film is the one between elle and viv, elle and her friends are stereotypical girly girls, etc - all that is just a perfect setup for a kind of passive aggressive lowkey misogynistic film that aims at actual feminist themes but falls short at #girlboss. but it doesn’t! while vivian is certainly catty to elle at first the insults aren’t sexist, vivian is just threatened but the confrontation is surprisingly and refreshingly… levelheaded? is the best way i can describe it. there is none of that one scene that a lot of 90’s movies seem to have where the two female protags have a fight where they insult each other’s appearance and then latch onto each other’s hair and yell bloody murder. ya know the one. there is none of that, none of the throwing around lowkey insults to women left and right, and in the end it works out quite beautifully because the only character we meet who is actually outright sexist is warner, which sets him up to be a gigantic asshole without having to have him like kill a kitten or something. it’s clever writing! and for a movie that came out in 2001 to toe that line between empowerment and sexism so well and come out the other side an enjoyable story with realistic women that does not fall under sexist tropes and stands the test of time is very admirable imo

anyway,

It's been about a month since the protests have started but it seems like people already started to forget it. It's not over yet. It's not a trend, it's not a moment, it's a movement. People are still fighting.

- Breonna Taylor's murderers still aren't arrested.

- Black people are being LYNCHED.

- Elijah McClain's murderers still aren't arrested.

- animals that you call "police officers" pepper sprayed A CHILD.

- Sara Grossman was killed by police after exposure to tear gas during protest. Police officers gassed her to death (thanks to @01000101-01110111 for pointing that out!)

- Indigenous women are still missing and no one is looking for them

Police haven't changed their ways and that's just an extremely small portion of what actually has happened these days (I will be more than happy to post entire list of sh1t cops have done in protests). People are still fighting, don't be silent, go sign petitions, donate, watch videos that all profit directly goes to BLM organisations. I don't have a large audience but I'll try my best to support blm and so should you.

(www.ally.wiki has entire list)

New Job!

Hey guys (especially Nerdfighter followers) 

I haven’t announced it on here yet, but I am the new communications coordinator for Complexly! Basically I manage a portion of their channels’ social media platforms, specifically SciShow, Eons, and Journey to the Microcosmos. 

I also will take a big role in the next Project for Awesome! I am super excited for this role and would love to hear from the Nerdfighter community on what they’d like to see more of! 

DFTBA!

[handweavers]

i’m seeing a lot of people saying things about our collective current situation wrt covid and social distancing like “the idea that i could unknowingly cause someone else to die is terrifying” which is absolutely true, it’s a harrowing thought and something to be aware of right now, but i need to make sure that people understand that this doesn’t just apply to covid, but literally every single time you get a cold or the flu. this is why people not getting paid sick leave and students requiring a doctors note to get time off school is such a big issue, not just now but always. there are always elderly people and immunocompromised people and people with other health issues in your community if you aren’t one of those people yourself, and every time you’re sick and not at home you are putting other people at risk, other people who could get severely sick and end up in the hospital or die because of a virus or infection that your body was able to fight on its own. this isn’t just a current problem, this is what it’s always like for the most vulnerable members of our communities, and why fighting for these labour rights is vital not only for individualist reasons but for the collective whole. this is why labour issues are important, the difference between having guaranteed paid sick leave and not is the difference between life and death for many people in our communities regardless of whether or not we’re dealing with a global health crisis.

I remember Anissina/Peizerat. Audible gasps from the audience when they did that.

So in Minnesota there’s this cultural taboo about taking the last piece. If there’s a group and everyone orders pizza, typically one slice will not be eaten. At the office if someone brings donuts, the last donut will be left alone. Possibly cut in half. Then that half cut in half, but always leaving at least a little on the plate. The reason is it’s considered impolite because someone else might want it. To take the last piece is a desperate thing to do. There’s even an expression: “I wasn’t raised by wolves.” Anyway, here’s the best local facebook post going around right now.

I saw this and thought to myself, thats so strange because thats a thing here in sweden as well, how two different places so far apart can have the same taboo.. and then I remembered something from history class
