everlasting light

Mermaid. Actor. Theatre. Model. Writer. Cats. Yogi. 'The light in me sees the light in you.' “My dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.” — Charles Bukowski

Uma Thurman Was Dehumanized ‘to the Point of Death’ While Filming Kill Bill

“Quentin and I had an enormous fight, and I accused him of trying to kill me.”

In the same New York Times interview that alleged Harvery Weinstein had a history of assaulting her, Uma Thurman also spoke out against the dehumanizing experience of shooting the Kill Bill films. Specifically, Thurman claims she was pressured by director Quentin Tarantino into shooting the popular convertible scene — or, the moment when she starts driving to kill Bill — by herself and with no stunt driver, despite Thurman expressing multiple times that she wasn’t comfortable operating the vehicle in its shoddy condition. “Quentin came in my trailer and didn’t like to hear no, like any director,” she said. “He was furious because I’d cost them a lot of time. But I was scared. He said: ‘I promise you the car is fine. It’s a straight piece of road. Hit 40 miles per hour or your hair won’t blow the right way and I’ll make you do it again.’ But that was a deathbox that I was in. The seat wasn’t screwed down properly. It was a sand road and it was not a straight road.”

The subsequent moments confirmed Thurman’s worst fears: While wrestling with the car, it veered off the road and hit a tree at a high speed. (The video can be watched here.) She was badly injured, and needed time to recover. “The steering wheel was at my belly and my legs were jammed under me,” she recalled. “I felt this searing pain and thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m never going to walk again. When I came back from the hospital in a neck brace with my knees damaged and a large massive egg on my head and a concussion, I wanted to see the car and I was very upset. Quentin and I had an enormous fight, and I accused him of trying to kill me. And he was very angry at that, I guess understandably, because he didn’t feel he had tried to kill me.”

Three reasons why Quentin Tarantino is an asshole:

1. Women told him that Harvey Weinstein sexually attacked and harassed them and he did nothing (Uma Thurman and Darryl Hannah).

2. He insisted Uma Thurman do a dangerous stunt that she repeatedly asked not to do which left her with a concussion, permanent neck injuries and knee pain.  Then he hid the footage for 15 years so that Uma couldn’t sue Miramax for injury.

3. During shooting, Tarantino took over the roles off camera of the men who abuse Uma so he could choke her with a chain and repeatedly spit in her face.  Her director/boss made sure he was the one abusing her.

jfc wtf it’s true

[batslime]

this is not a surprise. stop acting surprised when men who repeatedly integrate sexual abuse and assault, racism, and violence in their films are outed as actually being like that. People deny over and over that fiction has anything to do with reality then pretend to be shocked when abusers’ and bad people’s content, words, and actions, surprise, reflect their beliefs and values

[puttingherinhistory]

Always thought something was up with him since I saw Dusk till Dawn, where his self insert character serially brutally sexually assaulted and violently murdered women, which not only didn’t serve the plot at all but the movie also played him as a sympathetic character. The whole movie every female character is either hyper-sexualized or sexually assaulted at some point, none of which serves any purpose to the plot. Anyway, never liked him and was always suspicious of him ever since I saw that movie.

The dog has megaesophagus, an enlargement of the esophagus that makes it hard to get food to move down into his gut. He requires the help of gravity to help move the bolus of food downward and so has to sit upright. This chair (called a Bailey chair) was designed to help dogs with this condition and would have otherwise been put down.

[redisfascinated]

This is by far the coolest thing ever for a dog.

Millions of bees are dying off, with alarming consequences for our environment and our food supply. We rely on bees to pollinate everything from almonds to strawberries to the alfalfa used to feed dairy cows. What happens if the bees disappear? It’s simple: No bees, no food. Believe it or not, you have a bee to thank for every one in three bites of food you eat.

Scientists know that bees are dying from a variety of factors—pesticides, drought, habitat destruction, nutrition deficit, air pollution, global warming and more. Many of these causes are interrelated. The bottom line is that we know humans are largely responsible for the two most prominent causes: pesticides and habitat loss. (Source & Source)

When you guys have visited potential apartments, what kind of questions did you ask besides the basics like what rent and utilities include?

[dynastylnoire]

Here are questions I didn’t ask but should have: what does the basement look like?

What measures are taken to secure the building ?

Are the walls thin? Brief info of who lives in the building. Are they college kids? People that work through the day? Elderly? Is it a mix? Where does the garbage go?

Can I pay rent bi-weekly? What kind of fuses does the apartment use? (My fuse box is in the basement. If I blow a fuse I have to replace it myself. They screw until the box. All of which I didn’t know until it happend and I was sitting in the dark suddenly)

[audreynical2]

Who do I call for repairs? (If it’s a private rental) Am I allowed to paint the walls? Is there any additional storage? Do you do regular pest control?

LAUNDRY FACILITIES Definitely ask about security Whether subletting is allowed (esp if you’re in college and might want to sublet for the summer) If you have a car, whether there’s parking/how much it costs What kind of heating/AC there is Procedure/response time for any maintenance How mail/packages are received/protected from theft (seriously people stealing your packages can be a huge problem) What kind of verification of your salary will they want, and in what circumstances will they accept a guarantor instead? Whether the apartment is furnished

Assuming you are in the middle of looking at/choosing between places: When does the lease start? Are you going to give preference to people based on when they can move in? Whether groups of a certain number of people get preference Really anything about who they prioritize for applications, it can save you a lot of trouble in trying to apply to places you’ll never get into

Following the police killing of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge (which was caught on video), social media users and celebrities are expressing their outrage and disgust. Comedian Travon Free really drove the point home with one Jesse Williams quote.
