In Spite Of All The Danger

looking back on old photos of yourself is an act of mourning, always. how many times have you looked at pictures of yourself from even just a few months ago and thought “who is that? did i look like that? she’s beautiful” but fail to reconcile it with how you felt. that girl is me and that girl is beautiful but i have never been her, y’know? and the cycle is endless. i am always longing to be myself from two years ago, or six months ago, or last night. SHE was beautiful in ways i don’t know how to be now. i’m grieving for the death of my past selves, constantly, and grieving for the time they wasted mourning THEIR predecessors when they could’ve been feeling beautiful. in between disparaging remarks about the weight she holds around her midsection, my mother shows me photos from when she was younger and handles them gently; “i was kind of a looker back then, wasn’t i?” i wonder what i’ll be saying about this body in thirty years. i wonder if it’ll be kind

Why don’t we talk about how differently they run

[raina16]

They’ve actually talked about that(not specifically about T'Challa and Steve), that Chris Evans has to do most if not all his own running scenes because they say his running form is really hard to replicate for a stunt double but it’s one of the things that sets Cap apart, Chris Evans particular type of physicality, and actually helps convey the “superness” I suppose of the super soldier thing.

[wahbegan]

Chris Evans had to do his own stunts because he runs like a weird idiot robot

[taraljc]

The Cap we deserve

[platypusisnotonfire]

If I remember my biomechanics correctly, he has basically perfect running form. If you track his head movement there is ZERO up and down motion, meaning his entire energy is going to forward motion, making it 100% efficient.

Like, this is “good” vs “bad” technique:

There is still some waviness to that green line.

Chris Evans just has like….none.

[rohirric-hunter]

Actually Chris Evans runs that way because he did ballet as a child. Most of the jumping kicks he does as Cap are based off of ballet form, as well as the way he runs and his massive upper body strength.

Ballet is a martial art they just don’t want you to know it.

[hettolandija]

He also runs with no forward lean which does not affect speed, but it’s rare

This. Reblog the everloving crap out of this.

Cause if you don’t vaccinate your kids, when all your kids get polio or smallpox or some shit and DIE and my kids are just fine, I won’t be shedding one tear for you. My sorrow will be for the lives of children that could have been great…but that chance was stolen from them by ignorant parents.

[why-causeshesdead]

Reblog forever.

[marril96]

Today parents in Croatia protested for vaccination to stop being mandatory and to instead be only a recommendation. Fucking morons.

[kittyinhighheels]

Wtf is wrong with them.

[marril96]

I’m guessing they’re idiots who “educated” themselves on the subject online.

becoming an adult is essentially having all your friends in different cities and permanently missing someone

We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

After 87 courageous years on this earth, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel (September 30, 1928–July 2, 2016) has left us — and left us his timeless, increasingly timely wisdom on our shared responsibility in ending injustice. (via explore-blog)

i don’t think anyone fully understands how iconic of a film the princess diaries truly is. everything in that film is iconic. the apartment/firehouse. the scooters as a method of transportation. “get off the grass” in 4 languages. “please don’t crush my soy nuts.” the mustang. the weird neighbor who writes poetry. the m&ms on the keyboard and the pizza. “it’s a wango?” lily’s otter backpack. the whole paolo makeover sequence. every foot pop. stop me i could go on forever the princess diaries is so iconic it’s on the same level of iconography as star wars (1977)
