tv is for boring ordinary people i a creative wear a fedora and read a sophisticated book (peter pan by j.m barrie) {x}

[castellla]

creative people are johnny depp

[acidreign]

snobs are the worst.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

okay but look at all the other ones, holy shit

normal people enjoy nature and the world around them. creative people apparently don’t even pay attention to the creative works they claim to enjoy (because that guy is somehow simultaneously an elf, a hobbit, AND a wizard).

ordinary people do fun activities with their siblings. creatives engage in offensive racial stereotyping.

look I think of myself as a creative person and never in my life have I hallucinated dragons cooking my food seriously what the everloving fuck

I remember a white kid in my class talking about how his parents made 320k combined and they still “struggle” and thinking to myself: “It’s probably because they don’t know how to manage their fucking money and live above their means, but sure, just pretend it’s not their fault”

A few minutes later, he mentions that they vacation 3 times a year, own 3 cars, and spend $1000 a week (A WEEK) on food.

Long story short, I refuse to feel sorry for any of you upper-middle class folk that pretend you’re struggling financially too when you just have no sort of financial management skills.

If this was about immigration, then the undocumented Irish and European folks would be a part of the roundups. The people being deported are from Mexico, Central America, the Dominican Republic and Haiti. So this is about keeping America white, not making America great.

Friendly reminder that The Great Wall is actually not a movie that engages in awful whitewashing of a Chinese story but is a story about a Chinese myth told with a 99% Asian cast, by a Chinese director. If you saw only trailers with Matt Damon in them, that was a deliberate marketing ploy to draw in a white audience.

[chalerbs]

I didn’t know this!

[loup-garou13]

It's actually super common all around the world to put an actor who's popular in another country in your movie to draw in international audiences, and then marketing with said actor almost exclusively in the country they're popular in.

In the Netherlands, abortion is freely available on demand. Yet the Netherlands boasts the lowest abortion rate in the world, about 6 abortions per 1000 women per year, and the complication and death rates for abortion are miniscule. How do they do it? First of all, contraception is widely available and free — it’s covered by the national health insurance plan. Holland also carries out extensive public education on contraception, family planning, and sexuality. An ethic of personal responsibility for one’s sexual activity is strongly promoted. Of course, some people say that teaching kids about sex and contraception will only encourage them to have lots of sex. But Dutch teenagers tend to have less frequent sex, starting at an older age, than American teenagers, and the Dutch teenage pregnancy rate is 9 times lower than in the U.S.

“You’re a white person in America, so I could see why you’d think this, but tellin’ other people how to live is actually NOT a right you have.”

“why can’t I be proud of my heritage?”

going to cultural fairs is being proud of your heritage. making  traditional food is being proud of your heritage. learning a new language is being proud of your heritage. wearing traditional dress is being proud of your heritage. 

white supremacy is not “being proud of your heritage”

[tachoetuesdays]

No one gets mad at a white person that says “Im really proud of my dutch ancestry!” or “I love being swedish we have the best food lol!” or “ Its so cool that im irish i didn’t even know!” The phrases “white pride” and “white power” have nothing to do with the history or culture of groups that just happen to also be white. They are trademarked terms from white supremacist groups. The pride is in being white: the percieved superior race. There is no excuse to use that choice of words when what you really mean is you love spending summers in england because your great great uncle was a duke or whatever. If you use phrases like that in 2016, you know exactly what you are implying.

Friends please take the time to share this and read this. If there were anything I could do that would help spread publicity for anything that could impact any of my friends lives you would share this for me. If you share it I know you’re a truly ally,. True advocate, and most importantly a TRUE friend of mine. Take a second and just think. Think of what would happen to this poor little girl who just happens to be transgender. Think of the possibly humiliation, the possible chance of sexual abuse, and the chance of actual physical assualt, that this little girl and TONS OF OTHER TRANSGENDER CHILDREN would have to endure just because a couple of assholes in charge decide they want transgender people to use the bathroom of a gender that they are not. No child, no person, and no human being in general should ever have to fear the possibility of something inconveniencing them when they are trying to simply trying to use a public restroom assigned to the gender the truly are. It’s no one’s choice to be transgender just like it’s no one’s choice to be black or white. You’re born with it. You are BORN IT. This is something that already hurts because being transgender is not easy. It’s painful, it’s hard work, it’s mentally and emotionally draining. But, as it is a burden in itself… It’s is beautiful. Transgender people are the most sweet, loving, caring, and the most supportive kind of people there are. They’ve been through hell and back just to be who they truly are. Just because you don’t understand it, aren’t educated about it, and have no empathy towards thing in which you can’t wrap your sheltered and small intellect around doesn’t mean you should make something or someone’s life more difficult than it already may be. Love one another. Fight for one another. Support one another. And, lastly be allies for one another. I can’t change a species of plants but I sure can help plant seeds of beautiful plants around the ugly ones. Do your part and share. -Mia Moon
