Listen again, none offensive, BUT did you see the kind of people who were at the Nazi marches? More than 50% of them were probably in their 20s-30s. Almost half of the American political discourse consists of baby boomers vs millennial as and it’s fucking hilarious because those were your millennial peers that were at that march. Almost every statistic shows that white millennial haven’t gotten any more racially sensitive or tolerant, this idea that they have and it’s old men who will literally keep over and die any second are the ones leading these fascist marches and not 30 year olds who are literally some think tank publishers, parts of the media class or tech giants lol

PLEASE STOP TRYING TO VIEW YOUTH AS SYNONYMOUS TO RADICAL ACTION OR LEFT WING POLITICS‼️‼️‼️

My sis celebrated on the 16th and my niece, Nina, celebrated today. Mine was the 10th and they surprised me with a cake as well!!

[phoenixfgnrl]

I can't stop smiling. I love my family! And a few more months until I meet my new niece/nephew.

❝ There are no black people on Game of Thrones. You don’t see one black person in Lord of the Rings. And though Star Wars had featured a few black characters—Billy Dee Williams as a smuggler, Samuel L. Jackson as a peripheral Jedi—they were less represented in the galaxy than Ewoks. I ain’t paying money to always see one type of person on-screen. Because you see different people from different backgrounds, different cultures, every day. Even if you’re a racist, you have to live with that. We can ruffle up some feathers. ❞

[truthandglory-deactivated201409]

Two things to know about Canada!

We are smart enough to know hot things should be hot.

We are sorry if you don’t

fun story about the reason they do that (at least in America)

once this lady spilled her McDonald’s coffee on herself and ended up getting like 3rd degree burns and since there was no warning on the cup she was able to claim she didn’t know it would be hot (or at least that hot) and won a lawsuit against McDonald’s for $1 million

[prokopetz]

That’s what the media smear campaign against her would have you believe, anyway. The truth of the matter is that the McDonald’s in question had previously been cited - on at least two separate occasions - for keeping their coffee so hot that it violated local occupational health and safety regulations. The lady didn’t win her lawsuit because American courts are stupid; she won it because the McDonald’s she bought that coffee from was actively and knowingly breaking the law with respect to the temperature of its coffee at the time of the incident.

(I mean, do you have any idea what a third-degree burn actually is? Third-degree burns involve “full thickness” tissue damage; we’re talking bone-deep, with possible destruction of tissue. Can you even imagine how hot that cup of coffee would have to have been to inflict that kind of damage in the few seconds it was in contact with her skin?)

[bogleech]

Yeah I’m tired of people joking about either the “stupid” woman who didn’t know coffee was hot or the “greedy” woman making up bullshit to get money.

She was hideously injured by hideous irresponsibility, it was an absolutely legitimate lawsuit and the warning on the cups basically allows McDonalds to claim no responsibility even if it happens again. Every other company followed suit to cover their asses.

So they can still legally serve you something that could sear off the end of your tongue or permanently demolish the front of your gums and just give you a big fat middle finger in court. “The label SAID it would be HOT, STUPID.”

[elfyourmother]

obligatory reblog for the great debunking of the usual ignorance spouted about this case

obligatory mention that the media smear campaign to twist teh facts on this case and get public opinion against the victim was deliberate and fueled by the right wing tort reform movement

it was seized upon to limit the rights of consumers to hold giant corporations accountable for wrongdoing

watch the documentary Hot Coffee, it lays out all of the facts and examines the response to this case and explains why everything you think you know about this case is bullshit, and explains why tort reform is bullshit in an entertaining and informative manner

[thepoisonroom]

The woman injured in Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants was 79 years old at the time of her injuries, and suffered third-degree burns to the pelvic region (including her thighs, buttocks, and groin), which in combination with lesser burns in the surrounding regions caused damage to an area totaling a whopping 22% of her body’s surface. These injuries that required two years of intensive medical care, including multiple skin grafts; during her hospitalization, Stella Liebeck lost around 20% of her starting body weight.

She was uninsured and sued McDonald’s Restaurants for the cost of her past and projected future medical care, an estimated $20,000. The corporation offered a settlement of $800, a number so obviously ridiculous that I’m not even going to dignify it with any further explanation.

The settlement number most often quoted is not the amount that the corporation actually paid; the jury in the first trial suggested a payment equal to a day or two of coffee revenues for McDonald’s, which at the time totaled more than $1 million per diem. The judge reduced the required payout to around $640,000 in both compensatory and punitive damages, and the case was later settled out of court for less than $600,000.

Keep in mind that at the time, McDonald’s already had over 700 cases of complaints about coffee-related burns on file, but continued to sell coffee heated to nearly 200 degrees Fahrenheit (around 90 degrees Celsius) as a means of boosting sales (their selling point was that one could buy the coffee, drive to a second location such as work or home, and still have a piping hot beverage). This in spite of the fact that most restaurants serve coffee between 140 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit (60 to 71 degrees Celsius), and many coffee experts agree that such high temperatures are desirable only during the brewing process itself.

The Liebeck case was absolutely not an example of litigation-happy Americans expecting corporations to cover their asses for their own stupidity, but we seem determined to remember it that way. It’s an issue of liability, and the allowable lengths of capitalism, and even of the way in which our society is incredibly dangerous for and punitive towards the uninsured, but it was not and is not a frivolous suit. Please check your assumptions and do your research before you turn a burn victim’s suffering into a throwaway punchline.

#don’t fricking get me started on Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants the level of misinformation floating around is staggering#I know that it’s an older case but it still makes me really mad that people treat it as this big dumb thing?#the fact that the media took a serious case and turned it into what it is to us today should piss people off#the level of distortion of facts is astonishing and upsetting and nobody seems to hear about it?#sorry I’m done I just#it upsets me when a legal travesty like this is just dragged out for some#’haha americans are sOOOOOOOo dumb!!1!’ humor#I MEAN GODDAMN IF YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE FUN OF AMERICANS AT LEAST MAKE FUN OF US WITH FACTS OKAY

Championship Swim Meet was today! 🏊🏾📣🏆 I'm so proud of Maleeya. She's really grown as a swimmer. And my new niece/nephew is making an appearance in the belly!! 😛😛

[lagonegirl]

YES YES YES 

I love Zuri already! can’t wait!!!

This gotta bring awareness to things that really matter. Representation DOES matter!  The only people think it doesn’t, are people that are represented plenty. There gotta be a lot of Black People in cartoons for kids, and it doesn’t take much critical thinking to see why. We need Black Educated Successful Pride role models here. 

[olori32blk-blog]

Yassss! I love it and what it stands for speaks volumes to my heart….. Power mover I see you

My niece saw this and said “someone made me into a cartoon”

yo bro is it safe down there in the woods? yeah man it’s cool by Tomislav Jagnjic

[lawfulgoodness]

I thought this was just a joke but nope, that’s literally what the artist named this piece.

Some other gems by Tomislac Jagnjic:

[somewhatstacey]

I just want a horror movie where the person being terrorized snaps and decides fuck it and goes after the bad guys with gruesome results and evil cackling

DO I HAVE SOME RECS FOR YOU:

Hush: A serial killer targets a deaf woman in her home only to have her own his ass.

You’re Next: A group of masked killers descend on a family dinner only one of the guests is an aussie expat who grew up on a survivalist commune.

No One Lives: A bunch of two-bit criminals accidentally kidnap a serial killer. This goes about as well as expected for them.

Gone: Police don’t believe a girl when she says her kidnapper is back and behind the disappearance of her sister so she takes things into her own hands.

PS: don’t bother with Julia X or The Final Girl - they’re both shiiiiiiitttttt.

[cursedtruth]

I’d like to add:

From the Dark - Couple on a trip through the Irish countryside have car trouble, encounter a creature that must remain in the darkness, female protagonist eventually decides to just kick fucking ass

Splinter - Not your average zombie movie by a long shot, mostly because it’s not really zombies. Protags get inventive and fight back.

The Descent - An A+ movie on its own, and an A++ movie as far as representation, as it’s basically an all-female cast with tiny walk-on dude parts. A group of lady friends who enjoy extreme sports and spelunking decide to go exploring in this one cave. Except it’s the wrong cave.

I Am Not a Serial Killer - Kid thinks he’s so ~edgy~ and psycho, but then encounters someone…or more accurately someTHING…that actually is. Kid who thought he was incapable of caring about humanity decides to find a way to save people.

I feel like there are more… Like, I can’t recall if The Hallow (NOT to be confused with The Hollow) had that, too. You could arguably say Babadook, but I honestly have a completely different interpretation of the ending… But there are more. I might add them as they come to me. 

I mean, these don’t really have the evil cackling, unless you’re in the audience and going “FUCK YEAH, FUCK HIS SHIT UP, GIRL! DAMN!” But they have people who don’t just run away from the monster, and instead take charge to kick the monster’s ass.

[somewhatstacey]

I DID NOT REALISE I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER WAS OUT

Also The Descent fucked me up in the best way, what a gift of a movie

[werewolvestolovers]

Kristy (2014) - Girl hunted down alone on campus during Thanksgiving break. She kicks ass and takes names. OK Slasher, perfectly fits this narrative.

When Animals Dream (2014) - Girl starts to experience some terrifying changes but when her village tries to hunt her down, the teeth come out. Female sexuality allegory as WEREWOLVES

hey if you identify as a woman and you don’t shave your legs everyday and let your stubble grow free and natural for long periods of time could you reblog or like this post, I’m trying to make a point here, cause apparently I’m a weirdo for not shaving for weeks or months at a time

[finnglas]

Sweetie I haven’t shaved my legs more than maybe twice a year since I was 26.
