his dark materials will literally always work bc every small child wants an animal companion that loves you most and goes on adventures with you and every adult wants an animal companion that can shoulder some of life’s immense psychologically damage for you. and you can pet it
And to tear down the feeble corpse of God! Every kid and adult wants that also!
woke up and immediately checked the news to make sure they hadn't caught him
Kiriona
Taylor Swift proudly self-identifying as a childless cat lady and Elon Musk immediately offering to impregnate her. At this point I think we need to wall him up somewhere Cask of Amontillado style.
He needs to be encased in concrete and lead like nuclear waste.
Happy Juneteenth!
High quality plot twist
Ladies, don't let anyone bring you down, fashion magazines, advertisements, people on the street, even your family...happiness and confidence are only derived from within, beauty is not defined by a specific size, a style of dress, grooming habits or personal choices.
Beauty is the confidence you emit when you feel empowered to make real choices about your life. We are constantly subjected to judgement and criticism from others, but when you're able to transcend the bullshit, embrace yourself and make the best choices for you is when you are truly BEAUTIFUL.
"Onslaught," of the many spots produced by Dove for the campaign for real beauty, does an excellent job depicting the immense pressure placed on young women by the beauty industry.
Tupac breaks down misogyny is this song very well. I had to post it. I apologize for the lude content.

Here’s one from the vaults, Pepper Ann. In case you never watched One Saturday Morning or just skipped this show, here’s something for you. Pepper Ann was an interesting show that ran from 1997 to 2000, focusing around the main character that the show is named after. Pepper Ann is a twelve year old who often gets herself into predicaments through her own means, often being assisted by her two friends Milo and Nicky. In her home life, Pepper Ann lives with her divorced mom who supports her two daughters, Pepper Ann and the tomboyish Moose. The five characters I’ve mentioned are interesting in their own rights.
Pepper Ann: As the main character, the show centers around her issues. Often caught in her own fantasies or arguing with her reflection that points out her poor decisions. Being more physically inclined, Pepper Ann is one never to shy away from sports, soccer being her favorite. Not necessarily popular, but Pepper Ann does get along well with most of her classmates, not having a real antagonist.
Nicky: Nicky is the overachiever who speaks with a soft voice, but can snap when she’s stressed. Possessing musical talent, Nicky can sing, play violin, and the piano, all the while receiving perfect grades.
Milo: Pepper Ann’s laid back friend, Milo is a poet and artist at heart, often having to express his numerous emotions in one creative form or another.
Lydia: A divorcee, Lydia raises her two daughters as a single mother. Being a feminist, Lydia encourages her daughters to always strive for what ever they want and not to hold back.
Moose: Moose appears as most would assume to be a boy, but is in fact a girl. This is because Moose’s character feels most comfortable in that appearance, encouraged by her mother to do as she pleases. With this moral support, Moose does exactly that, whether it be skateboarding or having a low voice. Moose’s behavior is never called into question by anyone in the show, but accepted as who she is. Okay, so it’s been a long time since I’ve watched this show and nearly impossible to find any videos besides the theme song, thus a limited review. Why did I choose this in that case? Because for an animated show in 1997-2000, it’s pretty progressive with it’s characters. All of the female characters are encouraged to try new things and not shy away in case it might not be “feminine”. This personally was a strong message for myself watching this when younger. And as for Milo, the male friend, he took on a role usually given to female characters as he was both emotional and creative. Not saying guys can’t be, just that usually they are not portrayed as, hence the greatness of Milo. All in all, I really wish this show hung around longer, and wish even more that there were dvd’s of it available to watch. But to sum up, this show was great for it’s progressive portrayals of it’s characters.
Every generation latches on to a select few people who are more often than not, criminally more beautiful than the rest of us. Usually, this is a fully understandable decision on behalf of society, and we all deserve a pat on the back for recognizing a beautiful person as such, so well done us!
One good example may be the sex symbol of the fifties and early sixties, which was of course Marilyn Monroe. Her fame and seductive beauty has more or less transformed her into a mythical being who will be with the human race until the day the robots eventually enslave us all, and even then, there’ll be some old, bearded man regaling stories of Monroe and her Presidential flirtations. Monroe could very easily be accepted as the dictionary definition of the sex symbol, thanks to the admiration from the masses.
Lilo and Stitch is a great movie for discussing gender dynamics. Though I’ve tried to limit my analysis to human characters, this film does well to show that gender is constructed through it’s alien characters. I will be doing this with strictly the movie in mind, not including the tv show that followed after. Lilo: Lilo is a plucky young girl whose hobbies vary from photographing tourists to a bit of voodoo.
Socially an outcast among her peers, Lilo yearns for a friend and to belong. She struggles with her older sister Nani on almost every issue, but cares for what her sister thinks. A bit of an oddball herself, Lilo doesn’t hesitate when adopting a blue speaking “dog”, who later reveals to be an alien on the run. Family is important to Lilo due to the deaths of her parents when she was younger. Lilo often masks her sadness over her situation with crazy antics and excitement. With a love for Elvis, Lilo incorporates his music into her life often, drawing on his charm when trying to rehabilitate Stitch to society. Enrolled in Hula classes and an excellent swimmer, Lilo is always keeping herself busy. Nani: Lilo’s older sister and legal guardian, Nani spends her time worried what Lilo’s done now along with searching for a job to bring in money for the household. Nani takes on a parents role with Lilo, but recognizes that they are still sisters first.
Worried over Lilo’s ostracism, Nani agrees to them adopting a dog, bringing about Stitch.
Nani is skeptical about Stitch, especially with violent behavior. She is highly protective of Lilo, since each other are the only ones left of their family. When Lilo’s life is in danger, Nani demands help from the aliens to get her sister back. Cobra: A social worker who is looking in on Lilo’s case, Cobra seems the dangerous type to cross.
With his large body frame and way with little words, Cobra establishes his authority and seriousness with Nani, informing her that if things do not change, he will take Lilo away.
David: A former coworker and mutual love interest of Nani, David is always there to help where he may, be it some relaxing surfing or finding Nani a new job. David cares for the two sisters, wanting their lives to be better.
Stitch: Created by Jumba as experiment 626, Stitch starts out as a dangerous threat to the universe, created with the intention for destruction.
Sentenced to seclusion, Stitch escapes and crashes on Earth, becoming the pet of Lilo in order to hide from Jumba. Through Lilo, Stitch learns what it means to be part of a family as well as to be a friend. Stitch’s destructive instincts are altered by Lilo’s good nature, giving Stitch a change in heart and question in purpose.
When Lilo is taken captive, Stitch sets off to save her because they are family. Jumba: The mad scientist who created Stitch, Jumba is set out to capture Stitch in exchange for freedom on Jumba’s part.
When no longer being offered the deal, Jumba decides to take actions more suited to the situation, but eventually joins up with Stitch to save Lilo. Jumba becomes family to Lilo and Stitch in the end. Pleakley: As a member of the Galatic Federation, Pleakley joins Jumba to Earth in order to capture Stitch. Pleakley is considered an Earth expert having knowledge about the endangered mosquito population on the planet. While on Earth, Pleakley uses female earth clothing and wigs to blend in, though Jumba says Pleakley makes an “ugly woman”.
Bit of a worrywart, Pleakley is often anxious over most situations. Drawn along with everyone, Pleakley helps rescue Lilo and becomes a member of the family later.
Lilo and Stitch is interesting in how it goes about gender dynamics, especially when it comes to the aliens. Nani is the head of the household and the one to bring in money- when she has a job that is. He friend/love interest David is supportive o her, encouraging and helping where he can. Lilo wears dresses, hulas, as well as gets in fights and speaks her mind. Cobra gives the impression of being dangerous, but proves to be an ally and compassionate. Stitch, though begins as aggressive, becomes compassionate and emotional over belonging and family. Pleakley dresses in female designated clothing and makeup, being concerned with appearance. Jumba in one scene wishes to put on Pleakley’s wig, upset over not being able to. While with the human characters it is obvious of their gender and sex, the alien characters never specify what they are, or if they even have genders or sex. The audience is left to assume do to voice, appearance, and personality, leading many to assume that Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley are male in sex and gender. Interesting is Pleakley, who may be male in sex, but possibly female in gender. This is never fully discussed in the film, possibly later in the television show, but I am unaware if it is.
Yes, that’s Snoop Dogg’s hand … reinventing hip hop masculinity
Being tough is a full-time job, and sometimes the best way to unwind is a good old-fashioned French manicure. At least that’s how Snoop Dogg (a.k.a. Snoop Lion) seems to feel:
But when the 42-year-old rapper posted this Instagram photo of his untouchably fly nail game — courtesy Hey, Nice Nails! — he also drew the derision of his peers. And if there’s one thing Snoop won’t take lying down, it’s derision.
According to the Angie Review, fellow rapper 50 Cent reposted the above image and added this caption in a now-deleted Instagram post: “What the f#ck is going on snoop. Talk to me about this one man,Damn #smsaudio.”
Shots fired. Snoop could have responded by taking shots at 50’s debatably relevant music career or his odd decision to use this post to plug his headphone company, SMS Audio. Instead, he chose to explain why his nails exist on a plane way above 50’s basic realm of comprehension:
"Pimpin," Snoop wrote. "That’s what it is spooned n groomed dipped n whipped suited n booted gooted n looted. Real playas keep they nails fly fresh n dipped at the tip. I does what I does cuZ but but please believe me. Don’t let the smooth taste fool ya. BTW. This still crip. So fuxk. The haters jus wanted my nefew 50 to know the dynamics to what his big homie on !! Now for u haters. Suck d*ck or die trying. Hahahahahahahah I’m out. Much love 50. Get money !! cuzz I am."
