I don’t think people quite understand how much money a billion dollars is, let alone 600 billion every year.

[anarchyisfunandfree]

So the US military spends 600 billion dollars a year. That averages to about 20,000$ every second.

[anarchyisfunandfree]

The US college board estimates that state public colleges cost an average of about 10,000$ per year. The US military budget could pay for 60 million people to go to college. The United States has about 50 million total people of college age. If all of those people went to college for free the amount of money left over would still leave us with the second largest military budget on the planet.

[lesbian-sailor]

op i have some news for you

[anarchyisfunandfree]

The US military may kill innocent people, destroy entire countries infrastructures, poison the local populations, cause birth defects lasting generations, be the worlds largest pollutor, absorb massive amounts of resources in a country full of poverty, but it also sends some people to college, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

[background-noise-headache]

It sends people to college but only if they promise to risk their life and murder innocents. 18 year olds from poor families (meaning A LOT of minorities) who can barely vote and can’t drink alcohol in the states. Not to mention pairing them up with a bunch of white nationalists who bought into the propaganda.

it really be like that huh

[sirenaenojada]

Anyway, quick shout out to Women Assault Survivors that were assaulted by other women. Women who will never feel safe in “Women’s Only” spaces ever again. Women who no longer feel safe in their friendships with other women. Especially, shout to Sapphic Women who have survived assault from other women. All of you are incredibly brave and deserve to feel safe in your relationships.

[sirenaenojada]

Since this is making the rounds again I just want to add that this post is absolutely for trans women as well. Trans women that have survived assault from other women deserve nothing but safety, love, and support.

[socksual-innuendos]

fandom kids these days really be out here pretending like fandom wasnt invented by housewives that were super into star trek 

[socksual-innuendos]

They were also kinky bitches.

Sex pollen? Trekkie house wives invented that trope.

Going into heat? Tekkie wives said were gonna write it.

Fuck or die was basically trademarked in Trekkie fic

Any common lewd or ship trope in fandom existance? Thank some 25yo+ ladies who were really into Star Trek.

Mary sue is literally named for a (i believe) self insert into Trekkie fic.

These bitches ran so you could bitch about people walking while you crawl.

[monster-bait]

Never forget

[fiction-is-not-reality2]

To source it: 

Sex Pollen: 50/50 credit between canon Poison Ivy and Star Trek (1966/1967)

Heat: Star Trek’s Pon Farr, but also canon elements of Sime-Gen (which, haha still draws from Star Trek) 

F/uck or die: see Pon Farr again 

Mary Sue: was coined in 1973 by Paula Smith who wrote a parody fic entitled “A Trekkie’s Tale” in her zine Menagerie, basically as a rant response to a trend in characterizations.

“Any common lewd or ship trope in fandom existance? Thank some 25yo+ ladies who were really into Star Trek.”

Absolutely accurate. Star Trek fandom really had it and made it all. 

[autisticexpression]

These are all great points but it’s Sherlock Holmes fandom erasure.

[autisticexpression]

To clarify, the Sherlock Holmes fandom originated:

Bullying the author into changing canon.

Shipping a non-canon couple until everyone thinks it’s canon (Sherlock Holmes x Irene Adler)

Crossover fics (with characters like Arsene Lupin and Nero Wolfe and pretty much everyone else).

Bizarre crack theories (way too many to list).

Getting way too emotionally-invested and extra about fictional characters. These people openly mourned Sherlock Holmes before they bullied the author into bringing him back and this was Victorian times so there was a whole outfit for that.

Contriving overly-elaborate explanations for the minutist continuity errors or throwaway lines (Mrs Turner is the name Sherlock uses for his land lady when they check into hotels to have sex because they’re totally doing it).

The very concept of canon as it pertains to fictional works.

Just generally being obnoxious entitled assholes to the point where the author hates their own work.

Basically the nice Star Trek ladies invented all the fun parts of fandom and the Sherlock Holmes people invented the annoying cringy shit. Except the crossovers were pretty cool.

[fallout-fallen-knight]

nothing is funnier to me than posts where companions refer to the sole survivor as “Sole”. With the Vault Dweller, Chosen One, Lone Wanderer, and Courier 6, it makes sense because they’re titles that youre referred to by in-game. But with “sole”, it’s like your best friend heard the most traumatic event that ever happened to you and said “I diagnose you with nickname”

[randomassthoughtsisme]

Trailer comes out for new Movie/show with big monster, alien, or robot in it.

Everyone: please don’t be horny for this one.

We need to dismantle the systems in place that allow white people to get away with offering black people sub-par services based on the excuse that our bodies are more difficult to work with. Black hair is not more difficult than white hair, it simply requires a different skill set. Tattooing vibrant tattoos on black skin isn’t more difficult than tattooing white skin, it simply requires a different skill set. Photographing black people isn’t more difficult than photographing white people, it simply requires an understanding of photography. Doing makeup on black skin isn’t more difficult than doing makeup on white skin, it simply requires different products. Working with black people is not more difficult than working with white people you’ve all just been taught that it’s not valuable and therefore not worth learning how.

Decided to take a crack at drawing, drew mc2 in a different outfit. Idk I just like it :/

[iraprince]

hey! i’m kicking off the #ADHDInvasion hashtag for adhd awareness month with a comic about CONSEQUENCES, and how my lifelong failure to react to them has been a huge source of frustration for me and for the ppl in my life who rely on me. even worse, it makes me seem apathetic or careless to others, when in reality it weighs really heavily on me - i just struggle to show it.

the best way i’ve found to deal with this is accepting that shame-based motivation DOES NOT WORK AT ALL for me (which is hard to do, when it’s all that’s been modeled for you by parents/educators/bosses) and try to replace fear/shame based consequences with positive outcomes: i.e. instead of “everyone will be so disappointed in me if i don’t do this,” sometimes it’s more helpful to think “if i do this on time, i’ll feel so relieved, and everyone will be happy that i pulled through.”

check out the roster here and make sure you don’t miss the comics from all the other artists participating!

[y-that-crazy-five-foot-two-chick]

Yeah…so I feel like it’s a testament that I forgot it was ADHD month until 2/3 through it

[d-cookie-deactivated20210317]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I REALLY REALLY hope you guys realize neurodivieristy doesn't just start and end up with Austim and ADHD

[d-cookie-deactivated20210317]

Like it's great people are become aware! And learning more about this But it seems that people only pretend these are the only two and if you don't have these two then I guess you don't count??????

[d-cookie-deactivated20210317]

[rosslynpaladin]

remember the rest of us and stick up for each other when we can

[drearyhours]

unpopular opinion but i think the film and tv industries should have better labor laws even if it makes it harder or impossible to depict certain things

[drearyhours]

i dont care if it makes it harder to produce game of thrones or whatever, acting should not leave women traumatized

[squeeful]

Okay I know this is about acting and people are getting more traction about it (sexuality safety coordinators are a job! yell about them. demand your shows get them) but

Any person who has worked on a set for more than a few years has at least one person they know who died.  

Not usually on set, but afterwards.  Because we don’t have anyone shutting down production for unsafe practices when “unsafe” means 16 hour days.  Or more.  For weeks.  Finishing a day before hour 12 (not including lunch) is considered an early leave.

I had teachers tell us not to, unless we absolutely had to, take music video gigs because they’ll work you for 24 hours and send you to drive home.  And if we had to work that, pull over and nap in our car because multiple people per year fall asleep at the wheel and go over the canyons around LA.

I know you mean acting but please.  Don’t forget the crew.  We have a shockingly high rate of suicide because these working schedules leave us with no sleep, no time outside of work, and it destroys lives, relationships, and families.  Burnout is high.  Chronic illness and broken bodies are common.  Cocaine use in order to get through a 20 hour day is rampant.  Every single one of your reality shows is fueled by cocaine.

The number of days that are scheduled to shoot a feature has shrunk dramatically in the past two decades.  Which means longer days.

Netflix shows are notorious for being poorly organized, understaffed, and long days.

There are labor laws but what they do is levy fines.  Those fines are either factored into budget, people are bullied into not reporting actual hours, or crew members see them as incentive to take those jobs because more money and cost of living is high.  (Also this industry has a crew culture of dick measuring by sticking your wang in a blender and boasting about how many 100 hour weeks you pulled.)

[alexazombie]

this can be applied for people working in animation as well. Like I know people who work at Pixar and they straight up work 12 hour days and go into work on weekends to meet their deadlines. The incredibles 2 made over a billion dollars and Pixar still cut jobs due to “budget”. The entertainment industry is a business at the end of the day. There here to make money and they are going to do it at the expense of workers because they know no one is going to do anything about it.

[hunterinabrowncoat]

This is why I get pissy when people have a go about British TV shows only producing 10-12 episodes per season at most, instead of 24. Do you know why? Because the UK has fucking labour laws.

When I worked on BBC Causalty, as soon as it hit 5pm, everything stopped. The producer/director etc would have a quick meeting to decide if we’d go into overtime or schedule it in later in the week. And I got an extra payslip in the mail for every minute of overtime I did, even though I was paid a weekly rate.

I don’t care if it means producing less content. I don’t care if it means it costs twice as much - if treating your creatives and your crew like shit is needed to make your show, then your show doesn’t deserve to get made.

And that’s aside from the fact that actors are often exploited, neglected, coerced into doing scenes they’re uncomfortable with etc or outright abused by directors for the sake of ~performance.

No art is worth that.

[geriatricsloth]

credit to op. lost my shit when i saw this

[slashmarks]

anyway I don’t think the story of the 2016 election is that America wanted Trump.

I think the story of the US election is that a supreme court decision allowed states with a history of totalitarianism to arbitrarily change voting law in ways that made it disproportionately difficult for people likely to vote Democrat to vote while a foreign country was running an intelligence campaign to discourage voting on the left and, real time, prod right wing voters in important districts to vote during the election in a race with massive question marks about the security of voting infrastructure, with a widely unpopular Democratic presidential candidate–

And Trump still lost. By roughly three million votes.

That’s six times the loss George W Bush had when he won the electoral college without winning the popular vote in 2000.

Hilary Clinton won the popular vote by a larger margin than Jimmy Carter or Richard Nixon or John Kennedy; she just won it in the wrong places.

Trump is now president because the electoral college assigns more weight to rural states, which are also states with more discriminatory voter laws and more disenfranchisement and therefore states in which it is harder to vote for people likely to vote Democrat.

And all of that is what I mean when I say the biggest problem with the American system is gerrymandering.

[headspace-hotel]

shoutout to everybody who cannot partake in the shared history spongebob memes give everyone because they were, for some inexplicable reason, never allowed to watch spongebob

[headspace-hotel]

It’s weird because unlike most other experiences, this is not one you can go back and rectify. It’s already too late for me to grow up watching spongebob

[headspace-hotel]

Few things in this world can be genuinely lost forever and I don’t know how to feel that this, of all things, is one of them

[captainofthetidesbreath]

This isn’t restricted to any one fandom and it’s numerous numerous people I’ve seen do this over a course of years, but we should be a little more mindful about the sorts of glyphs (fonts) we use to caption our gifsets and edits because they’re visually fancy. A lot of them are, as far as I know and checking with the limited text-to-speech available to me, not accessible.

Like, this? ᴛʜᴇ ғᴏɴᴛ That reads as: Latin letter small capital T, Latin letter small capital H, Latin letter small capital E, Cyrillic small letter Ge with stroke, Latin letter small capital O, Latin letter small capital N, Latin letter small capital T.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐍𝐓 reads as: mathematical bold capital T, mathematical bold capital H, mathematical bold capital E, mathematical bold capital F, mathematical bold capital O, mathematical bold capital N, mathematical bold capital T.

Ｔｈｅ Ｆｏｎｔ reads as: full width Latin capital letter T, full width Latin small letter H, full width Latin small letter E, full width Latin capital letter F, full width Latin small letter O, full width Latin small letter N, full width Latin small letter T.

𝒯𝒽ℯ ℱℴ𝓃𝓉 reads as: mathematical script capital T, mathematical script small H, script small E, script capital F, script small O, mathematical script small N, script small T.

And so on and so forth. It also makes pasting URLs into places so I can show my friends who are elsewhere your cool edit a goddamn mess, but that’s just a pet peeve and utterly secondary.

[tysannoraurus-sex]

By law, it should be

REQUIRED to have wheelchair ramps at every door

REQUIRED to have elevators in every building

REQUIRED to have braille on every sign

REQUIRED to have auditory options for every text

REQUIRED for children to learn d/Deaf standard sign language in school

REQUIRED that everyone learn how to do CPR and how to detect a stroke

REQUIRED that areas with strobe/flashing lights have proper warnings

Stop calling it disability "friendly" or "accessible". Start calling it the fucking standard.

[geekandmisandry]

This post passes the vibe check.

[sandianxia]

by ADA most of these actually are legally required... America just sucks.......

[vaspider]

The fact that a lot of people don't know most of this IS the ADA standard is really depressing
