when england lose, women bruise

[3liza]

and this isnt even an english phenomenon, it is worldwide

The connection between football and domestic violence isn’t uncommon. A study shows that police receive increased calls reporting domestic violence every Sunday during football season [iii]. Researchers analyzed over 700 cities and counties using data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) of police reports, revealing that these spikes are linked to teams losing a game [iii]. In fact, domestic violence incidents rise by about 10% on days when NFL games are played, usually occurring in family homes and most of the time affecting women [iii].  This shows that the outcomes of football games can have a real impact on people’s lives off the field. It’s important for fans, teams, and communities to recognize these patterns and work together to raise awareness and prevent domestic violence from happening, especially during football season.

NFL games bring people from all over the United States together to show their love for the game, creating an atmosphere where diverse cultur

Anyone want an in depth explanation of the needlessly complicated way i do racebends. For funzies

[eggbagelz]

Frogot to elaborate on this. The process is as follows:

What position does the character hold in the story? What's their background? What is this character meant to represent? To give you an example of a character i ultimately chose not to racebend, engineer from tf2 canonically has a long family line tied to the privilege of working as the head engineer for mannco - meaning both wealth and respectability-, grew up on a ranch [thus meaning his family are also landowners], had the money and free time to attend university for multiple phds In The Fifties, and the stereotype associated with him is that of the idealised cowboy, which is a very white ideal. This obviously doesn't actually dictate anything in the real world or even for a character, poc obviously can be wealthy and powerful, but it's what engie represents: a long line of white landowners getting their money in a not so clean way. The metaphor is a key detail for me

What about the character could be bent in the angle of a nonwhite redesign? This is the same as understanding the background of the character, and also includes understanding their personality. I often make characters mixed race when doing racebends because- well. It's half because I'm mixed and biased but also because often conflict with identity and one's place in the world lends itself really well to a mixed race narrative.

Where are they from? When doing racebends, i like the chosen identity to make sense geographically because I'm Really Annoying about little details. I'll research, as an example, the most common immigrant groups in an area, what indigenous tribe is from where, etc etc. When making Heavy Evenki, i researched ethnic groups found in Russia and Siberia and chose based on where he was born.

Understanding the treatment of these groups in the places they're from and the history behind it is also really important. What I'm saying here basically boils down to Do A Lot Of Research, not only because it helps you to better understand what you're writing but because it's worth it to understand the world around you. Half the reason i do racebends is because i enjoy having an excuse to learn more about the history of people like me in other places. It doesn't hurt to be educated even for something frivolous

Crucially, keep in mind that this isn't a "how it should be done always all the time" type deal when it comes to racebends. A lot of people do racebends because they want to see their faves like themselves, and that's fine! Fun is part of the process! I do it like this because I'm extremely pedantic and i like doing research, but it's not the end all be all of unwhiting a character.

My favorite joke in Metalocalypse is how as the show goes on it becomes increasingly obvious they’re naming characters with the sole purpose of torturing Mark Hamill.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Like I just love how you can pinpoint “Ninmiltrid Fmiltindryden” as the exact moment the joke went from making Mark Hamill say funny but still vaguely name-shaped words to forcing that poor man to pronounce straight up keysmashes out loud.

Washington Post is paywalling the article but it looks like Taylor Farms — a consumer bagged salad brand that also supplies produce to grocers and fast food chains like Taco Bell, Walmart, McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, KFC, and Meijer —may be at least one of the sources of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak.

Taylor makes bagged greens, salad kits, chopped salads, the works. Keep avoiding supermarket greens, but keep an especially close eye out for this brand/supplier. The above list of grocers and fast food chains is NOT exhaustive, so please continue getting lettuce and other raw produce taken off your burgers, sandwiches, etc.

Their other brand is EARTHBOUND ORGANICS!!!

"The sculpture in the image is “Das Schicksal” (Fate), created in 1905 by Hugo Lederer. The sculpture portrays fate as a ruthless woman dragging two vulnerable bodies by their hair.

The work is currently located in Ohlsdorf Cemetery in Hamburg, Germany."
