see now I’m thinking about how evil the military is especially with their recruitment stuff. like they visit the schools that they know are poor (usually filled with black and latinx kids) and literally tell you “hey guess what if you join the military you won’t be poor and since you probably won’t amount to anything after school may as well join!” and they will send a black/latinx recruiter to the school so the kids are like “wow he looks like me I can do it too” and recruiters also get bonuses for signing ppl up and get this….if a kid convinces their friend to join the kid gets money and also a promotion. like this system is literal brainwashing and exploitation and when you couple that with the extreme amounts of military worship in the country ( you see recruitment ads in movies and video games) it’s scary. like the military is embedded in American society and you get a lot of young 17-18 year old kids joining not knowing what the fuck they are getting into.

I was in the first grade when I heard about Columbine high school where 13 people were killed. The school made us practice getting into the corner of the room, pulling the shades down and staying real quiet. I was in high school when I heard about Virginia Tech where 32 people were killed. We practiced the “Code Blue” again where we move away from the doors, get down low away from the windows and I listened to hushed whispers about what we’d do if a shooter really did come after us. I was just exiting a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises when I heard about a showing in Aurora, Colorado where 12 people were shot and killed. That was when I realized that there were more than school shootings, they can happen anywhere. I was in college during an art class when I heard about the Sandy Hook elementary shooting where 20 small children and 28 people total were killed. As people read the story aloud from their phones our teacher tested the windows to see if there was an easy way for us to escape if something like that happened to us right then.

Yesterday I attended gay pride in Boston and kept looking over my shoulder at the homophobic people blasting hate through their mega-phones and this idea in my head went off that we were all a perfect target. One of them could take us all out right there. I shook the idea from my head as just being one of my anxieties. Not ten hours later in Orlando, Florida a shooter went into a gay night club during a pride event and 50 people were killed.

I realize now that I wasn’t paranoid. I’ve grown to expect this kind of thing. I’ve been conditioned. Because I grew up with this.

Box Office: Disney's 'Zootopia' Is Now The Second-Biggest Original Movie Ever

“Zootopia is one of three Walt Disney animated features this year, and, at a glance, it seemed to be the lowest profile of the trio. It’s not the big Pixar sequel (Finding Dory), and it’s not the Thanksgiving fairy tale princess epic (Moana). The quirky gem of a comedy, which sold itself as a zippy talking animal comedy but turned out to be a potent metaphor for race relations and fear-based social control, earned superb reviews and terrific word-of-mouth and sits alongside Deadpool as the ‘Holy crap!’ success story of the year.

And now it’s on the cusp of crossing the $1 billion mark worldwide. With $991 million worldwide, it’s the fourth-biggest animated film ever behind Toy Story 3 ($1.063b), Minions ($1.159b), and Frozen ($1.276b). It is the sixth-biggest ‘non-sequel/prequel’ of all time, behind Alice in Wonderland ($1.025b), Jurassic Park ($1.029b, including the 2013 3D reissue), Frozen ($1.27b), Titanic ($2.186b), and Avatar ($2. 787b). It is Walt Disney’s eleventh-biggest movie ever globally.

Oh, and it is the second-biggest ‘original’ movie ever released (not accounting for inflation) behind only James Cameron’s Avatar. Zootopia was not based on a television show, a comic book, a novel, or a stage play. It was not a sequel, prequel, or reboot from an existing franchise. It is not based on an actual historical event. It was an entirely original concoction.”

Heartwarming Pics Of Children Who Were Just Adopted

[somethingratchet]

I love adoption stories. My mom adopted 3 kids and she never let us or anybody else make a difference out of the 6 of us. My biological brother had the same name as my adopted brother and people could not understand why my mom would name 2 sons in succession, Johnny. But we wouldn’t explain it. Adopt kids. Make it normal. Not the the thing u do simply when u cant.
