WATERSHIP DOWN (1978) dir. Martin Rosen
This is my cat, Brigitte.
24 hours after I brought her home, I got a mindblowing job offer. Since I adopted her nine years ago, my life has become an amusement park. She has brought me good luck ever since I took her into my home.
I’m telling you, there’s something about this animal. Good fortune follows her everywhere.
I don’t want to be selfish. I have everything I need and then some. So, I’m sharing her with you.
Reblog Brigitte and you’ll receive fantastic news in the next 24 hours.
And when you do, please remember to help your local SPCA and support them in the difficult work they do for wonder animals like Brigitte. Any donation helps your SPCA, even if it’s just five bucks.
Kitties like Brigitte are counting on you to give back when they bring you good luck.
Thanks, and congratulations on your good news!

I JUST WANT TO PET HER LITTLE HEAD OMG?
Confession: The first time I played Mass Effect, I was sure Liara was the main villain. The way she just had to get into Shepard’s head, the fake seeming “I need to rest”, her insistence that you dont rush on Ilos, and everything she did I saw as proof she would be evil. She would have made a great villian.
why limit yourself between choosing between a pretty feminine aesthetic or a dark one? if persephone can be the goddess of spring & queen of the underworld at the same time so can you
This is both against the gender roles that God put forth and in favor of the worship of pagan God’s. This is blatant satanic blasphemy

Reblog if you too are against the gender roles that God put forth and in favor of the worship of pagan Gods.
To everyone who is stressing out about Thanksgiving tomorrow ...
…especially all my fellow children of narcissists who are dreading the inevitable drama at dinner: I want you to know that your experience, your feelings, your needs, and your boundaries are valid. No matter what they say to you, no matter how hard they try to make you feel inferior or bad about yourself, please know that you are enough, you are worthy, and you are loved.
Remember to practice your self care, and that when they are gaslighting you, it’s not your problem or your fault. You are not responsible for their feelings.
To “win” the governor’s race in Georgia, Brian Kemp and Republicans had to purge 1.2 million legally registered voters from the voter rolls, close down more than 200 polling places in predominantly Black neighborhoods, and deny the voter registrations of thousands and thousands and thousands of mostly Black people trying to get registered to vote.
And while thousands of Black voters waited in long lines for hours to vote, there were literally hundreds of brand new voting machines that Georgia had available, but never used.
Republicans cheat. Republicans cannot win in fair elections.
This is beyond unconstitutional. It’s unjust, unethical and immoral. These should all be criminal acts. Felonies, punishable by huge fines and imprisonment.
Republicans are a bigger threat to democracy and social justice than Russia or any other foreign government could ever hope to be.
After George W. Bush stole the y2k election, the Democratic Party should have never stopped screaming bloody murder.
Democrats, progressives and Independents need to go beyond simply restoring the Voting Rights Act—which Republican operatives and a Republican leaning SCOTUS helped eviscerate. Democrats need to fight for a national, automatic voter registration at age 18, and criminalize any act that blocks or otherwise impedes registered citizens from voting.

Me to american animation: I know your stories are great buy why does your animation suck so bad?
American animation: We have to create simplified characters to make the movement faster and more creative and interesting.
Me glancing at Japan:
Me: k.
Hey you know what studios do in America? Due to animators unionizing, instead of paying all the animators proper wage they started sending animation to be done over seas to lower labor costs. Now most studios’ animation are shipped to Korea and China and etc., which means the designs for the characters have to be simplified for easy character animation. Not to mention the history of American animation overall and how the American cartoon style has led towards more simplified styles over the years.
Also animation in Japan, while it does have plenty sakuga stuff, are actually just budget dumps for the best fight scenes. During normal scenes, characters can be very static and has a lot of holds. There’s also the mouth-flapping thing that a lot of animators in America detest. Everything is revolved around budgets for both countries. For America, to pay animators working wages they decided to cut costs and ship labor overseas. For Japan it means terrible working hours and labor, where plenty of animators have fallen ill or even die in their own cubicles.
So watch your fucking language and learn animation history. People like you are the reason why a lot of studios are cutting costs on their workers in America.
“why is your animation so bad?” *posts gif of good animation*
Confession: I fell in love with Sara Ryder, her family, the Tempest crew and Andromeda so much. I am so sad that there likely (or pretty much most definitely) won’t be another part of the franchise. And I can’t help but partly be angry at the fans who ranted about every bit and piece of the game and ruined the whole thing for the people who actually liked the new game. I’m not saying the criticism wasn’t at least partly justified, but a lot of it seemed just to be saltiness and whining about Andromeda not being the original trilogy. I get it, the game had its problems but… come on.

“Keelah, I missed you too.” 💜
Cudjo Lewis, the last surviving captive of the last slave ship to bring Africans to the U.S.

It’s so significant too that this narrative was collected by Zora Neale Hurston, one of the greatest authors and anthropologists of her time. She was shunned by the “gatekeepers” of both of these professions, largely because of her Blackness, her womanhood, and her uncompromising commitment to honoring and showcasing both in her works. She died penniless and alone in a state-run institution in 1960. All of her works had gone out of publication by then. It took more than a decade before she was rediscovered. A young author by the name of Alice Walker had come across her work and was deeply inspired by it. “In 1973, after an exhaustive search, Walker came across Hurston’s unmarked grave in Ft. Pierce, Fla. She purchased a headstone for Hurston’s tomb and had it inscribed “A Genius of the South.“”
It is through Zora Neale Hurston’s pioneering sacrifice, and the acceptance of that inheritance by Alice Walker that we have found this missing piece of our history. Without the courageous and unfailing work of Black women, we wouldn’t have Cudjo Lewis’s story. We are slowly regaining a narrative that’s been hidden from us, one that continues to be lied about. Trust Black women to lead the way.
Thank you, Kayla Morris !!!
good news
I’m having a bad day. It happens. So I take my own advice for people who are having a bad day, and I get out of my house. I go for a walk. I work hard to push negative and hurtful thoughts out of my head, and I replace them with positive things. It’s little observations at first, like the trees are starting to drop their leaves, a dog has a cute beard, this person’s Halloween graveyard has tons of great puns in it.
I take this positive voice that’s enjoying things in the neighborhood, and I use it to talk to myself. I remind myself that my experience is valid, even if random strangers who know nothing about my experience tell me that it doesn’t, on account of my privilege and success. I remind myself that this terrible way I feel isn’t forever. I remind myself that my wife and children love me. I remind myself to make an appointment with my therapist.
I’ve walked a couple of miles by the time I get back to my street, and when I’m a few houses away from mine, I feel better. I still don’t feel good, but I’ve moved my day from a 1 to a 2 on my 5 point scale. It isn’t the 4 I am hoping to achieve, but it’s better, and just moving from 1 to 2 is enough.
I am enough. I am enough for my wife and my kids and my dogs, and I’m learning to be enough for myself. I’m learning to let go – trying to let go – of the pain I feel whenever I’m reminded that I’m not enough for at least one person in my life, because it’s not my fault.
One of my neighbors comes out of her house and tells me that her daughter’s English teacher is a fan of my writing, and when he mentioned it to her class, she told him that we’re neighbors. He was excited by that, and asked her to ask me if I’d come into the class to talk to them about writing and being a writer.
I tell her that I’d love to do it. I don’t tell her how humbling and overwhelming it is to feel wanted by someone because I’ve done things that matter. I hope she doesn’t see me squeeze the tears back into the corners of my eyes.
Her daughter comes outside, and we talk about me coming to her class to talk about writing and being a writer. She tells me how much her teacher loves me (those are her exact words) and I feel so lucky and grateful to have done something that somebody cares about, something that a teacher feels makes me worthy of speaking to a class of 11th graders.
So I give them my email address, and we resolve to coordinate with her teacher next week. I’ll probably go speak to her class sometime in December.
By the time I’m done talking with them, I have moved from a 2 to a 3 on my 5 point scale, and that’s a HUGE improvement over the 1 I was feeling when I walked down my driveway.
So I’m sharing this good news that I hope inspires and comforts anyone else who is having a bad day. It’s possible, through loving ourselves and allowing the kindness of others to get past our defenses, to turn a day that’s awful into a day that’s okay, and it can happen really quickly.
I’m glad I took my own advice, and I’m grateful that I have an opportunity to share it with all of you who are reading this.
