I mean this kindly, but some of you might need to broaden your horizons a little. I don't even mean "touch grass" i mean "try visiting websites that aren't social media or about fanfiction." I think...I think your enclosure might be too small.

adding "try befriending and asking other humans for help instead of a robot trained to study you for market research"

someone's height is a neutral feature of their body. it is not a reflection of their age, cognitive ability, or right to respect (even though you need to respect the personhood of others regardless of age or cognitive ability anyway). being short shouldn't mean anything more than a factor you take into account to make an accessible world. short people aren't children, aren't automatically cute or funny or harmless - they're just people. it's honestly absurd the way people immediately lose any sense of maturity when it comes to discussion about height

I’m convinced if ppl on this site knew how crappy gifs look before you color them properly, they would appreciate editors more

[thatwasthenightthingschanged]

for context reasons, this is how a gif I used in a recent gifset looks like without any adjustments/coloring whatsoever:

and here it is afterwards:

[5ummit]

I truly don’t think people realize how dingy and dark most movies and tv shows actually are so they can’t appreciate the work and skill it takes to make gifs look the way your brain “remembers” it looking.

Another before and after example:

This gif needed 6 different adjustment layers, not including the sharpening process, which is its own separate challenge. The blue window was also changed to green to keep the palette more consistent and to reduce the range of colors needed, because a wider range of colors generally results in worse gif quality since gifs only support a max of 256 (compared to the millions your monitor can display).

yeah…

I was already going to reblog this because gifmakers need all the love, but the little lambie made sure that I was definitely going to do it.

dark scenes are truly the bane of every gifmaker’s soul

Star Trek has always been...inelegant, to put it politely...when it comes to Indigenous people of our own planet and the issues of colonialism they had historically, have modernly, and will have still in the future (apparently), so maybe the franchise should never ever touch upon this, but I always wonder how uncontacted tribes and peoples fit in with the whole Global Unity aspect of post-First Contact Earth. It's stated in TNG that the planet of Kespryt would be the first planet admitted to the Federation that wasn't a united people/planet, comparing it to a hypothetical situation where Australia doesn't join the rest of Earth in the Federation. So like. Do the Sentinelese know about warp drive and other life forms off Earth? Did they even survive World War Three and its global devastation? Did the rest of Earth barge in on them once we had the cure for any disease they had no prior exposure to? Do they ever see shuttles in the sky and have no point of reference for what they are?

But also this is the franchise who had Chakotay being written on the word of a race racefaking white guy and where almost all Native Americans live on their own planet now and the Federation attempts to forcibly displace them "for their own good" and ooof when it comes to TOS and their depiction of Native Americans so like...

A lot of people genuinely believe that permanent disability isn't a thing that happens to good people who work hard and make responsible choices. A lot of people genuinely think that we get the life we work for and deserve. And this is definitely part of the explanation for why ableism is so prevalent

Since Canada is currently trying to sell itself as an "ethical alternative" to Iran's oil, I would just like to remind folks / share some quick information:

More than 50% of Indigenous communities in reserve areas in Canada are at high risk of pipeline spills. When there is a spill, reserves are disproportionately impacted.

The National Energy Board and Supreme Court of Canada has a history of declaring the "public interest and economic interests outweigh Indigenous and treaty rights." Basically, Indigenous peoples don't count enough as "public" to matter.

Pipelines are built without proper consent from the Indigenous Nations they choose to occupy. Keep in mind I say choose, because this is the case even when alternative pipeline routes are suggested that could avoid reserve land. This is a direct, constant, and often violent threat to Indigenous sovereignty.

The MMIW crisis is funded by the oil industry through the creation of worker's "man camps" near reserve land. These "man camps" are nothing but pits of sexual violence and human trafficking of Indigenous women and girls. I am not exaggerating; this is well studied and well documented.

"i do not dream of labour" is one of the worst pseudo-marxist taglines that western leftists have co-opted because when you ask them what they do dream of, they say traveling, studying, and creating art. broski, who's flying the plane to take you to prague? who's the security at the library with the texts you're studying? who are the clerks in the museum showcasing your art? like bro, you do dream of labour. you just dream of someone else doing it so you don't have to! you merely want to outsource the labour and make it invisible.

Hello! I hope you are doing well. I have a quick question about your thoughts on fantasy racism. Do you think the issue is the idea of fantasy racism itself or do you just think it has been handled poorly?

(Sorry if you have covered this ad nauseam but I didn’t think I saw it in the FAQ)

Post by @creatingblackcharacters

💬 7  🔁 211  ❤️ 497 · hi, i was wondering if you had any advice on writing Black characters in fantasy? like mistakes people often make or th

People who write fantasy racism don't actually understand racism, and that's why it always irritates me lmao. There's no "magical origin curse", there's no "this group is actually dangerous and that's why we hate them", there's no "one person from this group proves that they're good and that's why we're all worth seeing as equivalent beings", there is no "these people are overt racists and everyone else is the opposite and Good".

Racism is complex, and it is normalized. If you aren't going to actually tackle it as a topic, if you're gonna make me sit through what is usually just someone's reverse racism fantasy narrative (heralded by the Top Racist that's either a woman or Of Color), scrap it because I'm not looking at that shit. I'm not gonna watch a glorified lie of a narrative of what I already experience 😅 I could just watch something else.

ya being kafkaesque isn’t about turning into a bug it’s about how if you turned into a bug your boss would still be like “ok but we’re short staffed can u still come in”

[rosemarythunder]

while i understand that this is meant to be a joke about hellish capitalism, again, we cannot erase an important dimension to his work: franz kafka was a jew. he and his families were jews during a time period where traditional, religiously-based jew hatred was being replaced with a new pseudoscientific belief that jews were to be hated and oppressed because they were a subhuman race. this transition to race-based hatred of jews meant that even assimilated jews- who considered themselves citizens of states before they were ever jews- were now being irrationally targeted and hunted.

the term “anti-Semitism” was created specifically to name this new racial hatred of Jews. it was coined in 1879- 4 years before Kafka was born. 

in “the metamorphosis”, Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a "monstrous vermin". in kafka’s real world, jews woke up one morning, in their country that they were told was now enlightened and accepting of all people, and found out that they were now considered “monstrous vermin”. and then 6 million jews of his generation were exterminated. 

i am giving the simplest analysis to this right now, but we need to understand that you cannot just blanketly universalize his work. you cannot remove the context of kafka’s jewishness or that he lived at a time when antisemitism became fervently racial. yes, discuss how his work comments on capitalism, society, etc. but to only use ONLY these lenses and to ONLY universalize his work is dishonest, whitewashes his work and life, and further exhibits how little non-jews know or care about the jewish history and the how antisemitism has impacted jews for over 2000 years.

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try
