This is so powerful and courageous. Police all over the country are pulling this despicable shit. They’re supposed to be protecting and serving. Monsters. 

[lieutenantkoy]

I’m disgusted at the behavior of these fucking police. How can people still be so racist, hateful and abusive in 2019?? We’ve had years to stop this shit. This is especially abhorrent in the case of cops. Major kudos to the lady who posted all this and defended the kids. I would’ve done the same, despite being afraid.

We need to end racism. We need to end the people who support it. It’s our generation’s turn to mold the world, and we’re gonna turn it into something amazing.

“Someone taught me to ask “Are you refusing to treat me?” and the change in care quality has been astounding.”

“Dear Doctors, Please don’t kill black women because you think they’re faking it, cause that’s what you’re doing when you don’t take their concerns seriously. Sincerely, A Disabled Black Woman”

I saw another tweet that suggested telling them you want it noted in your charts/logs that they (the doc) were choosing not to run any tests.

[daniel-oneiroi]

make sure you see that file and take a photo before you leave! you have the right to your own records, and docs who refused to treat me portrayed me as a combative patient who refused care

Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.

[awsomelink]

Friendly reminder that GIMP does pretty much everything Photoshop does, and it’s 100% free. Fuck DRM and the license culture, we have plenty of open source options available to us as a consumer.

Lightworks is a freeware video editor on par with Premiere

Blender is an excellent freeware 3D renderer,possibly better than After Effects

Lightzone to replace Lightroom

Inkscape to replace Illustratr

Audacity to replace Audition (I also received a free version of Pro Tools with my Scarlett Solo audio interface)

If Adobe is going to be greedy shitheads, then fuck ‘em. Don’t use their stuff. Freeware can be just as good, if not better, than Adobe CC.

[cometkins]

Firealpaca/Medibang are much better alternative, FREE drawing programs, I need y’all to stop recommending GIMP because it’s bad. It’s very bad.

[niuniente]

GIMP really doesn’t work. If you need Photoshop alternative, take Medibang. I also recommend FireAlpaca. You can do editing similar to Medibang with FireAlpaca. Both Medibang and FireAlpaca have a tool to make comic panels easily

[ninjaotta]

Honestly.  Accurate POCs playing POCs (including an Egyptian Pharaoh, Hun warriors and a Native American girl), Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt, THIS SCENE and just being awesome in general

there’s a host of crazy shit that goes on, including a fucking t rex that plays fetch with one of its own ribs

long story short; they’re fab

[bigforeheadgaaal]

honestly this made me want to cry, the fact that these people still exist is so scary, this is so terrifying, tell me again why we need straight pride or that we don’t need lgbt+ pride anymore and watch this video

Simone being horny on main.

Simone: She’s extremely cool, and I want her to crush me with her thighs. Pat: Now, Simone… BDG: No, can we put us in the Yikes City for that? Simone: Nope! Pat: Yeah. Simone: [crosstalk]  I did nothing wrong! Pat: [crosstalk]  Simone, you did it to us. Simone: Everyone in the chat will agree with me! BDG: [crosstalk]  Yeah, but you can’t say that. Pat: [crosstalk]  Yeah, but you can’t be horny on main, you gotta be a leader, not a follower. Simone: It’s not about horn, it’s about… death. Pat: [laughing]  I mean, aren’t those the same thing in 2019? Simone: Yes, actually, I’m sorry.

Mamá Coco has trouble remembering things… But it’s good to talk to her anyway.

[ladybarabee]

As someone who works with elderly clients who have multiple forms of dementia, or age related illnesses, I’d just like to point out that as a matter of fact: it IS good to talk to Mama Coco.

As its shown in the movie, Mama Coco has some form of non-Alzheimers dementia. Spending time with her, keeping her at home among loving relatives, and INVOLVING her in various parts of daily living is important for multiple reasons.

- talking to Coco and engaging her on a regular basis helps her to feel like she belongs, even if she can’t remember. This is an important part of our heiarchy of needs: love and belonging.

- It encourages Coco to feel at ease. This is incredibly important for those who live with with, and actually aids in easing the progress of the disease (depending on what it is she loves with).

- It helps to normalize the moments of clarity she undoubtedly has from time to time. When a loved one with dementia is removed from home or ignored during their confusion, it makes it hard for them to verbalize their clearer thoughts. They don’t understand why it is that they’re in the wrong place, causes anxiety and further confusion.

- It helps the family recognise when Mama Coco is deteriorating. Most of the time, when a family member is ignored, pushed aside, or sent away, only to be seen on special occasions like some kind of family china or something, the change in their afflicted family member is a jarring shock that drives the family further away. With a family that spends time and care with their loved ones, they’re more receptive to the stages and the process of the disease, and usually a lot more understanding of what’s happening.

It breaks my heart that we don’t see more of these kinds of multi-generational family movies where the elderly member is normalized, rather than being treated as “odd” or “lol funny forgetful”.
