YO THE DOCUMENTARY I WORKED ON IS DONE

[rihannafenty]

Rihanna at Zac Posen’s studio.

[localbadgirl-deactivated2017121]

The Netflix series “Gypsy” is basically about a white woman who’s a therapist thats fucking around with her white patients. And considering the stereotypes surrounding Romani women I’m assuming Netflix wants to play into the stereotype of us being “sexual temptresses”. Our girls and women are already subjected to sex trafficking way too much and being seen as nothing but “sex crazed nymphos” by the media because non-Roma decide to take our culture (or what they believe is our culture) and sexualize it which (subconsciously) leads to our girls and women being fetishized and being taken away and sold off into the sex industry. Is Netflix serious right now.

[localbadgirl-deactivated2017121]

The show aired on 30th June and I keep seeing non-Romani talk about how they want to “live the “gypsy” life!!“ now because of this show and just go around and start affairs and have sex with everybody. Thanks for this fucking bullshit @netflix because of yall these people are all now associating being romani with being sexual temptresses and prostitutes once again when I thought this stereotype of our women was slowly dieing out already. What is even more frustrating is the fact that virginity is actually considered important in Romani culture but of course yall don’t care about that.

[halfsyproblems]

Once again, everybody who is not an anti-Rromani shitbag, PLEASE WRITE TO @netflix and tell them you will not be watching this show and disapprove of their company’s conduct in this matter. Please get the word out, it is our only chance (slim as it is) to affect any kind of change.

Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

(Watch how many people don’t get this.)

[marauders4evr]

#raises hand #i dont understand #please explain? 

In order for disabled people to receive any sort of financial assistant for their housing, food, bills, medical supplies, etc., they cannot ever have more than $2,000 of resources to their name. Ever.

It doesn’t matter what it’s for.

You’re saving up for a new wheelchair?

For college?

To put a downpayment on a house?

Hell man, you just happen to budget for once in your life so that you can have some extra money in case something bad happens?

Your benefits immediately get cut off if you’re a cent over $2,000.

And, even worse, you usually end up having to pay back every dollar the government gave you that month.

So say you get $400. If they find out you’re twenty dollars over the resource limit, you have to give them all $400 back and you undergo an investigation of your funds to see if you will continue getting money.

“What if I spend the money that day?”

Doesn’t matter. In fact, from what I can tell, people who do this are actually put under investigation for fraud.

And yes, this system literally kills people.

Remember when “Guardians of the Galaxy” came out? one of Rocket Racoon’s creators, Bill Mantlo, suffered an accident in 1992 and has irreparable brain damage.

before the movie came out, Marvel gave him an exclusive preview screening. SOme people were upset because they felt if Marvel was really wanted to thank mantlo, they should have donated money to Mantlo’s family.

Bill Mantlo’s brother had to come out and explain: If Marvel gave them monetary aid, Bill Mantlo would lose his financial assistance.

[rootbeergoddess]

That’s so utterly depressing.

I have friends on welfare who won’t pick up a penny in the street because they’d risk the welfare they struggled to get for 10 years.

[raenboow]

oh look another fucked up thing in this world. let’s just add it to the list. number 63858b

[luvtonique]

My brother has been on California State SSI for autism for the last 10 years, and he absolutely has to (no joke, HAS TO) spend all 720 bucks of his SSI every month, because if he puts it in the bank he risks losing his SSI altogether.

Sometimes, at the end of the month, he has no idea what to do with his money because the whole month went by and he still has 400-ish bucks in his account, and he fucking panics because he doesn’t want to get anywhere near 2,000.

And here’s the funnest part of the story!

One day he did a huge commission on Second Life and wound up earning 1500 bucks off of it, and he told the guy to donate it 500 bucks at a time over 3 months. The guy didn’t want to, and just donated all 1500, which put my brother at 2,036 bucks.

The state IMMEDIATELY (I’m talking less than an hour) called him up to tell him over the phone that they were canceling his SSI, because they noticed he had gone over the 2,000 buck threshold. He had to tell them that someone had made a charitable donation to him and that this was not a common occurrence in any way shape or form, and upon not believing him, my mother had to call to talk to them as his legal caretaker and say basically the same thing until they called off the cancellation of his SSI money.

He also had to cancel his renter’s assistance because it put him to 1,062 a month, so if he went 30 days without spending any money they’d cancel his SSI altogether. Like, none of us in the family have any fucking clue why that regulation is in place and it’s the stupidest shit in human history.

Please, legal side of Tumblr, tell me what positive reasoning this law has?

“Yes, being in a female dominated field, I do know what it means to be marginalized. “

oh

my

god

omg

oh my fucking god

[freedominwickedness]

The really ugly part is they’ve actually done multiple sociological studies on this, and guess what the result is? Men in female-dominated fields aren’t marginalized at all; they get special treatment and are fast-tracked to the top, getting more credit for their work, faster promotions, and greater pay and benefits than their female colleagues.

Here’s one study. Here’s another. And another.

Men in female dominated fields are entitled as hell. Don’t get it twisted

[greatmardini]

teaching is a female-dominated field but most principals are male

librarianship is a female-dominated field but most directors are male

Cooking is female dominated but most chefs are males

pls be nice to kids… if a kid writes a poem or makes a video on youtube dont make fun of them or call them “cringey” like that shit can really affect & damage a kid’s self esteem especially if youre like 20+ mocking what some 12 year old is doing online… kids are so innocent & dont know how cruel the world can be you dont have to crush them or be an asshole because they expressed their emotions or because they made a youtube video about pokemon or smth like that

[stanford-pines]

okay so theres an episode of whats new scooby doo where the gang goes home on valentines day, and i guess the studio really wanted to avoid the implication that daphne and fred were sleeping together because daphne and velma live together and fred lives with shaggy and scooby 

but that attempt at avoiding anything risque backfired spectacularly because now it just seems like daphne and velma are a comfortably domestic couple and fred is trying to learn how to live with his boyfriends over excitable and really hungry great dane

[lacrimalis]

i don’t have a source for this just a gut feeling, but doesn’t everyone in the gang call him “freddie” at some point? which would imply that the entire gang is poly and dating

[ignitiondorks]

If any group in pop culture is poly, it’s definitely the errant kids from the 60s with a groovy hippie van

So they go around the world bombing and killing people and then expect us to feel sorry for them?? Nah son, you deserve it.

[easternmediterranean]

me if i ever find out any of my neighbors are veterans

[eearth-deactivated20180601]

Hmmm. I mean, just because the army as an institution is flawed and damaging doesn’t mean everyone in it is a terrible person. To paint every single veteran with the same brush is reductive and to make light of the debilitating mental disorders many have just seems wrong. Like yes, fuck the military as an institution completely 100%, but blaming disabled ex-front-line infantry maybe isn’t the best direction for our anger, perhaps.

[erniebilko]

A lot of veterans are poor people who were intentionally targeted by scouting programs coming to their schools starting at age 13, and most of them are worse off coming back than they were to start with… let’s be courteous to folks with PTSD

[nativepeopleproblems]

Don’t be an ableist fuckface. Intentionally triggering someone is disgusting.

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

I thought people on this godforsaken website at least understood this one basic principal, but apparently not, so let me make it crystal clear: 

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BE SELECTIVELY PROGRESSIVE 

You can hate Ann Coulter. But if you suggest that she deserves to be raped, you are a misogynist.

You can hate Woody Allen. But if you say he’s part of a Jewish conspiracy or joke about putting him in an oven, you are an antisemite.

You can hate Michael Vick. But you call for him to be lynched or call him the N-word, you are an anti-black racist. 

You can hate Caitlyn Jenner. But if you misgender her, or make comments about her genitalia, you are a transphobe. 

And you can hate the military. But if you deliberately try to trigger veterans with PTSD, you are an ableist piece of shit. 

You do no get to pick and choose which people to treat fairly when it comes to acknowledging and combatting prejudice. 

Not liking a person is not a free pass to disregard anti-prejudicial words and actions. Either you respect marginalized peoples as a whole (even if you don’t like an individual), or you don’t respect them at all. There is no middle ground. 

[letmeleadyoufromsolitude]

If anyone really like, agrees with harassing veterans with PTSD or anything similar, unfollow me right the fuck now. I don’t want you following me.

You don’t have to like the military, it’s massively fucked up but y'all needs understand that most people in the military are victims of propaganda and are usually poor or part of a minority who are taken advantage of in order to join.

[eearth-deactivated20180601]

^^^ All of these comments tbh

[etherealharlot]

Mhmm

[lesbianpeachs]

Like the fetishization of mlm is so bad that it's gotten to the point that real live men are subjected to being treated as if they are fictional people for the amusment of women.. and it's really fucking creepy and these people need to take a step back and understand that marginalized men are in danger of this dehumanization. I've seen some really fucked up shit where women used real men shipping em with other (straight) men to get their jollies off.

Literally all it takes is a look into YouTube fandoms, and the way REAL LIFE gay men get treated in this way (porn written about real people together??? How do people not understand how this isn’t OK???) and even some straight men that they write as gay, which like…they’re real people. That’s literally absolutely nothing but gay fetishization. Plain and simple. There is no other argument there.

If you’re a woman (specifically wlw) and you still don’t understand, I want you to stop and imagine something for me. Imagine if wlw shipping was just as popular as mlm. Imagine if every post you see about mlm was written that way about wlw. Imagine wlw fandom being overrun by men, straight and otherwise, who behave this way. This space that should be about YOU, involves you, affects you. And its 100% in the hands of men. Who revolve a good deal of it around sex. Who prefer tropes that are specifically pedophilia, abuse/rape, and incest. Now imagine every time you express a problem with this you get derailed and ignored, and accused of only objecting to it because *insert reason your discomfort can be brushed aside here.*

i want…more fat girls in media

[flannelizard]

and no this does not mean that i want fat characters who have jokes made about their fat. i want fat girls who are seen as beautiful and not a single comment about their weight is ever made.

[anlgbtrelatedblog]

Nonbinary people are absolutely allowed to use different pronouns in different situations.

You might be uncomfortable with your family using they/them pronouns, but be fine with she/her, or vice versa!

You might be fine with some people using gendered pronouns for you, but not others!

You might want people who are strangers or acquaintances to use gendered pronouns, but not close friends or family.

You might want to use neopronouns only when with people you don’t know very well, and switch back to they/them or gendered pronouns when with close friends.

Sometimes your preferences might change! 

And that is okay!

This is your life, and you are never putting a burden on someone by asking them to use a specific pronoun with you. You deserve to live the way you want to.
