Oh no you mean the boys couldn't connect with a superhero movie where there are 3 superheroes but none of them are men? And two of them are not white and one is not even Christian. Oh I am shocked. Especially when the powerful antagonist is also not white male. You don't say. And the supporting roles have men but one is black and the other is Asian and rest are muslims?! So cruel!!! And even the lab tech minions are black and brown ?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There ARE MORE CATS THAN WHITE MAN?! I am shocked? Shocked that they hate it. Must be the bad acting of Oscar winning lead and critically acclaimed directors fumbling, can't be anything else. Am sure all the reviews are unbiased. So sad.

to simplify: churches are forbidden to promote specific political parties or candidates, in order to maintain tax-exempt status.  no religious institution is allowed to make explicit political statements, including “this party is bad,” “this party is good,” “you should vote for x,” “you should not vote for x,” or “let’s raise money for x political party or campaign.”  all of those things are super illegal!  if they’re going to act as a political entity, they need to pay taxes like any other political entity!  report their asses!!!!

TRIGGER WARNING

▪︎ Jolie said that her then-husband, who had been drinking, took her to the bathroom where he “grabbed her by the head, shaking her,” “pushed her into the bathroom wall,” and also shook her by the shoulders as they argued over one of their children. He punched the ceiling of the plane four times after telling her “You’re fucking up this family.”‘ When the kids asked, “Are you OK, Mommy?” Pitt allegedly replied, “No, she’s not OK, she’s ruining this family, she’s crazy.”

▪︎ One of the kids— whose name was redacted from the report— then yelled, “It’s not her, it’s you, you prick!” Pitt bolted at the minor “like he was going to attack,” the paperwork states. At that point, Jolie “jumped up” and grabbed Pitt round his neck with her arms, “like in a choke hold” to hold him back from the child. Pitt purportedly threw himself back, pushing Jolie into the seats behind them, causing injuries to her back and elbow in the scuffle.

▪︎ At another point during the flight, Jolie said that Pitt poured beer on her as she tried to sleep.

▪︎ At the end of the flight, Jolie said Pitt held the family for about 20 minutes on the plane after she told him she was taking the kids to a hotel in California. She said he yelled, “You’re not taking my fucking kids" and that he shoved her.

▪︎ Jolie said Pitt’s alleged behavior “didn’t feel real” and left her feeling “scared” and “like a hostage.”

Summary of the events taken from multiple sources. Somehow, the reality of what happened on that plane was far worse than probably what a lot of us thought.

So what we're NOT going to do is do Angie like y'all did Amber Heard because Brad Pitt's smear campaign and bot farms and Stan trolling has already started.

Believe the victims.

You’re tired. Burnt out. Exhausted. Stressed.

This lowers your capacity for emotional regulation.

You’ll cry more easily. Get dragged into low moods more easily. Simple little things where you’re like ‘dang, that shouldn’t hit so hard,’ will wallop you.

This will trick you into thinking you’re weak and can’t handle life. A loser.

Not so my friend.

It’s a signal that you need a nap, need to allow for more sleep at night, need to prioritize and scale back on what you can accomplish in a day, need to take a mental health day or even a leave.

Something’s got to give.

But!

It’s not your self worth.

[labeatz]

You deserve people in your life who think you are a big deal. No competition, no backhanded comments, no jealously, no comparison, no hate just simply “I love you and there is nobody like you and there will only ever be one of you” type energy

LOUDER NOW

[butmakeitgayblog]

wishing every bad thing to happen to the fucking supreme court right now. i have never been so angry my whole life

Don't forget about how, with two months notice that this ruling was coming, the democratic-controlled congress not only didn't codify abortion rights, nor expand the bench to counter the theocratic chokehold its under, but they did overwhelmingly pass a security bill protecting these SCOTUS justices from angry people with signs. Legislators get done what they want. Don't buy the bullshit lip serve and fake outrage.

Last Week Tonight, March 16, 2022

[fantastic-nonsense]

Tatiana Maslany was literally insane for playing like 12 different people with the same face and then interacting with multiple versions of herself for five whole seasons

[fantastic-nonsense]

she really Did That™ and we are all incredibly grateful

[wemblingfool]

No! No, but here's the important thing! She did it so flawlessly, that you would actually forget these characters are the same actress.

I found myself feeling bad for the actor who plays Alison's husband, because "he never gets to work with Maslany," because in my head I kept equating her with Sarah, when literally he only worked with Maslany!

The special effects were so seemless, and her performances were so flawless that we have never seen this gimmick done this effectively, this naturally. And I don't think we ever will again.

She deserved that emmy.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

It’s impossible to describe how phenomenally good a job Maslany did with these characters. Like, it wasn’t just that she played every one of these characters so genuinely and distinctly that you forgot they were the same actress. It was also that the characters, being clones, would deceive people by playing each other.

Alison would be on the screen, and you’d be like, “that’s Alison”. Then Sarah would be on the screen, and you’d be like, “that’s Sarah”. Then someone who looked exactly like Sarah would be on the screen, and you’d be like, “Oh, Alison is pretending to be Sarah.” And some of the clones were better at pretending to be each other than other clones were. And you could always tell who you were looking at and who they were trying to imitate.

[fozmeadows]

back in 2014, I got to speak very briefly to the showrunners at the Hugo Awards afterparty, and they said that, even on set, it was easy to forget that Tatiana was playing all the different clones. they’d finish a take with her as Sarah and then turn around asking, “All right, where’s Rachel?” because she inhabited them all so distinctly that you’d instinctively look for the other actress
