HEARTBREAKING: Poor girl has to get out of the soft warm bed even though she is so so so so comfy

Someday I want a Strong Female Character where the Main Dude hears "watch out for Charlie she's crazy" and instead of being an attractive and effortless badass the Main Dude quickly surpasses with little effort at all she really is just absolutely volatile as hell. Makes exaggerated ugly facial expressions and accidentally shoots her own guy in the leg. Not the least bit graceful or efficient. Somehow completely unstoppable but not in a useful way. No edgy backstory, just likes being paid to scream at people. They never kiss

[elidyce]

Just an absolute feral goblin of a woman.

Maindude is initially intimidated, but takes some time to actually build a relationship with Charlie and try to figure her out. Maybe she can be fixed?

Charlie cannot be fixed. Charlie is in a perpetual state of Wolverine-on-a-sugar-high barely-touching-reality-at-any-edge loose-cannonity. However, if you take the time to build some trust and figure out how to communicate in ways that make sense to her, Charlie CAN be aimed.

Maindude shows up to the final confrontation with Charlie in tow with all the ‘unrealistic’ confidence of a man who knows that his doggy-purse actually contains a homicidal honey badger with a gun.

[sniperct]

#they stay friends#Every time she meets a girl she likes#he tactfully takes the lady aside and is all#listen Charlie is actually like this all the time#i can give you some tips#no no we're just bros#i just wanna see her happy#and maybe a little less homicidal

hot take uh

dont get mad at trans ppl for using the “wrong”/out of date terminology to describe their own experiences like

if a trans dude says “back when i was a girl” or “i was born in the wrong body” just. let them. if they feel it describes their experiences the best, then it’s good for them

as long as theyre not using it to describe other people who may not be comfortable with, it’s ok

[saint-batrick]

THIS. i have had people correct me when i say things like “back when i was a girl.” say things like “no, you were never a girl, you just didn’t know it at that time.”

you are not the arbiter of my lived experience.

i know who i was then. don’t tell me i wasn’t because it doesn’t fit the narrative you want it to. it’s not your damn narrative.

Flautist Melissa Jefferson plays slaver James Madison's 200-year-old crystal flute in the Library of Congress.

[strangers-to-iowa]

a few notes: --this is apparently a piece that is very difficult to play --this flute is keyless, which requires the player to use extremely precise finger positioning --Lizzo is wearing two inch acrylic nails

[bixbythemartian]

the runs at the end are both stunning and flawless!

[metalheadsagainstfascism]

Cool. The flute is cool. But I got some more info that I feel is important.

That's James Maddison's flute. James Maddison owned over 100 slaves. Due to debts he had to sell land and slaves over his lifetime. By the time of his death he owned 36 slaves. No slaves were freed during his lifetime or in his will.

The power that this successful Black woman has over his legacy right now.

Not just playing his flute, but shaking her ass while playing his flute.

With some help from the Library of Congress, @lizzo got to play President James Madison's crystal flute at her recent Washington, D.C., conc

Oh, the white supremacists are so mad.

You know how often people play instruments that are hundreds of years old? Instruments are made to last hundreds of years. They're preserved through use. First chair violinists in major orchestras often use violins that are centuries old.

My aunt owns and sells instruments both young and old, and it's a huge dishonor to the memory of the creator to demand that the instrument go in a museum never to be used.

Something really cool about this video is that Lizzo is usually in really extravagant outfits, which is awesome to see! But we as fat people are expected to over-perform gender and be dressed to the nines just to deserve basic respect. If we're seen wearing baggy pants and a simple shirt, we're called slovenly, lazy, ugly. So I love seeing Lizzo being able to wear not just the extravagant outfits but also outfits like this that are a "fuck you" to every fatphobe who thinks fat people must put on a performance to earn basic respect and dignity.

[steakplissken]

Not only is Lizzo playing James Madison’s crystal flute, she was invited to by Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress and the first actual librarian to have the job since 1974 (she was appointed in 2016). She is also the first woman and the first African American to be the Librarian of Congress.

She invited Lizzo by @ her on Twitter because she saw Lizzo would be in town for her tour. Lizzo spent three hours touring the LoC and looking at historic flutes in the collection.

Carla Hayden was previously the head librarian of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, which is the city library organization for Baltimore. She kept the libraries open during the Freddie Gray riots so people would have a safe place to bring their kids.

She’s a cool lady and I hope more people get interested in the LoC and it’s holdings. They have a lot online and you don’t need to make an account to look.

You know what’s ironic? I thought you of all people would know not to judge a book by its cover.

I can't explain how much I love baguette child. I would protect them with my life.

[theriu]

At first I was amazed and delighted and then I realized this is exactly the level of wit you should expect from a child who chose to dress as a baguette for trick or treating and I was even further delighted

I know more about economics than AOC and my knowledge on economics is on a high school level. Its actually embarassing how little she knows about this shit. But hey, expecting a socialist to know about economics is like expecting a fish to know what a desert is.

[donutcourse]

You know what? Let’s use the allowance example again to make it even clearer.

Let’s pretend we have an allowance tax bracket with a 70% tax on money received after a certain point. To keep things simple, we’ll make the limit $90.

If a kid does chores and earns $10 in allowance, they get $10. They’re not going to be affected by the 70% tax.

If a kid does chores and earns $50, they get $50. They also aren’t in the 70% tax bracket, even though they make five times as much money as the kid making $10.

If a kid does chores and earns $100 in allowance, then they’re in the allowance tax bracket with the 70% tax.

$100 minus $90 is $10. This is the part that’s going to be taxed 70%.

70% of $10 is $7.

So the kid getting $100 in allowance will have $93 after the 70% tax takes its share.

Now, I’d never impose such a thing on actual kids. All of this is a thought exercise.

But if it were real, the kid making $10 and the kid making $50 would probably be kind of mad if the kid getting $93 was bitching about being short $7.

[spookyfbi]

Also, can we talk about how taxes are used to pay for things for the benefit of society - roads, schools, libraries etc. so to further the above example, the parents aren’t just pocketing that money themselves just to be mean and selfish, they might use it to pay for a Netflix subscription that the whole family can watch.

PROGRESSIVE TAX ISNT FUCKING RADICAL we study it in highschool economics class for fucks sake

WHO THE FUCK MADE THIS?!?!?!

[brooklyn99]

Our hopes are with digital plataform like Netflix (whom is as poor and dumb as Fox) and with Hulu. We can’t let they treat our show like this. They gave us everything we needed. 

[brooklyn99]

So, it seems that Hulu, Netflix, TBS and NBC are fighting to be our show’s new home. I’m not picky tho.

- Netflix already has some rights because they stream the show.

- Hulu streams the show in the US.

- Fox is the dumbiest of the dumbs for cancelling.

“For us to showcase this character, who is a core member of the ensemble, who is not going anywhere, who is happy, who has friends, a chosen family that she loves and who is successful in her life, is something I never saw growing up on television. I never thought a happy ending could be for me. And now I’m playing someone who is out, who is bi and who is going to succeed.” - Stephanie Beatriz accepts the GLAAD Media Awards for Brooklyn Nine-Nine

RIGHT SO I JUST FINISHED REWATCHING TANGLED, AND

I just got hit by this realization.

Eugene is telling this as a bedtime story to their kids.

Like, all I could imagine is this adorable little brown haired kid with green eyes sitting in bed watching as he makes this really dramatic face, and begins

“This is the story of how I died!”

and they look a little scared, so he quickly goes

“Don’t worry, this is actually a very fun story and the truth is, it isn’t even mine. This is the story of a girl named Rapunzel and it starts with the sun.”

And they both look at Rapunzel real quick because, hey, Mom’s in the story, great!

And by the end they’re both teasing each other and making sappy faces and the kid’s giggling and half asleep and

“There you go, kiddo. That’s the story of how we met. Sweet dreams, sunshine. Tomorrow night we’re gonna tell you the story of how your Aunt Elsa froze her entire fucking country because of her emotional issues.”

“EUGENE!”

“WHAT?”

[kimrocksaroundtheclock]

Omg. This so much.
