Please please please don’t vote third party this election. I live in Maine and have to see this douche nozzle continually embarrass our state.

So the Great Barrier Reef was pronounced dead today. Do you even realize that is this our home. We were blessed with such a beautiful, loving, and magnificent home and look what we have done to it. Mother Nature doesn’t deserve this. We don’t deserve this world we were so graciously given. Are you waking up yet

[earlgraytay]

K, so this is mostly bollocks. 

The Great Barrier Reef is not dead. About a third of the coral in it is dead, and it’s suffering a really bad case of a disease called coral bleaching (which is what caused the photos down below)- but it’s not dead and it has a chance to recover. Hell, you can even see it in the bottom right picture- the only coral that’s actually dead in it is the big dark twiggy bit. The rest of it is still alive- it’s just under stress and so it’s bleached. 

A lot of scientists are actually kind of pissed off about this message going viral, because it sends the message that there’s nothing we can do. It’s like sending out an obituary notice for your loved one that has cancer and is on life support. They’re still not dead. They can keep fighting; they can survive. 

And we can still save the Reef. It’s not too late to turn things around.

zootopia was so messy with the message they were tryna get across lol like by the end they were pulling a ~racism goes both way~ on us and i didnt appreciate

[strangeauthorarchive]

zootopia: reverse racism is real hell site: wow…an important message…disney isnt fucking around…

[laurdlannister-kingslayer]

It was more or less stereotypes and prejudice hurts everyone, not racism goes both ways

[lareinitadeotono]

I mean, the biggest isssues was there were multiple kinds of sterotypes and prejudice? Or are we saying that anti-black and let’s say… anti-asian racism can coexist in the same universe? And that’s just one of like…. dozens, if not hundreds of examples I could give you that could be read into the movie.

[orchidvioletindigo]

Here’s the thing: Zootopia and a lot of other pieces of media that act as commentary on issues of oppression and privilege rarely work off a one-to-one comparison with real life examples. Marginalization is in itself messy and never works quite the same way with every group it affects. You can say that black people and white gay people both experience discrimination and violence, but those experiences aren’t identical because one is based on appearance and the other is based on behavior. In the same way, when a work of fiction introduces a new type of discrimination (species-ism, anti-augmentation, or zombie hate to name some examples I’ve seen), it’s not going to be an exact analogy for another already existing type of discrimination.

[onlyblackgirl]

It’s also a movie for babies…it ain’t supposed to be that deep. It’s a basic 101 saying don’t be a shithead cuz people are different. Not every piece of media needs to be or it going to be the nitty gritty some people still need the 101 course. And in this case it’s a damn kids movie for kids. Kids don’t understand all them layers of shit you taking about.

When people ask me why I care about cultural appropriation:

Because Kardashians will take cornrows 

And turn it into this.

Or take what is a racist caricature of a Black Bodies,

And turn it into this while be praised for it.

Or when Black women get mocked for their lips and Skin:

But Kylie Jenner can be praised for doing this:

Or when White people and celebrities can do this:

But women like this are seen as ugly (even in their own communities) or a called terrorists by others:

Things like that causes things like this:

Ok tell me how it doesn’t matter again?

[sugarmacaron]

…I didn’t even know about that caricature

[bando--grand-scamyon]

neither did I ^

so i work at lush and the most famous person i’ve served so far is adele. one day i’m just standing there moving some bubble bars and pretending to look busy when suddenly this lady comes in with her child. i think “she looks like adele if adele didn’t wear make up” whilst i go over to greet her. she asks me what a bath bomb is. i think “hmm, she is very unexpectedly cockney, like adele.” halfway through my description of bath bombs i realise holy fuck it’s actually adele, and i end up saying “so these are bath bombs, you drop them in the water mnnnnnnand theychangecolour n fizz…..do stuff……..” and i think she realises i suddenly know who she is because she gently but firmly tells her son to pick a bomb. she gets some for herself as well. i put her through the till and i realise she looks very tired, so i don’t want to bother her, but holy fucking shit this is adele. i’ve ugly cried so many times while warbling her beautiful songs. she’s unwittingly been there through some bad times for me. i want to say something but i’m not sure what, so i fixate on her bright woolly vest and blurt out “i like your vest!” and she immediately replies, very chipper, “aw fanks it makes me look like a rare bird!” she departs and i stand there shaking while i whisper to my colleague that that was adele. this reaches the back of the shop where a birthday party for a bunch of 14 year olds is going on and my 19 year old colleague just shrieks “WHAT” at the top of his voice. all the girls clamour asking if we have security cameras to prove it actually was her and i’m like, the proof is that i have suddenly become 10 times emotionally stronger after being in her presence. i have absorbed her self love and all of my exes have crumbled into dust, dissolving away like the bath bomb she’ll be using later on that very night

I’m dedicating this reblog to the high school English teacher who failed me on a “dream job” essay assignment because I wrote about wanting to simultaneously be a psychologist, artist, and author and she claimed I was “supposed to choose ONE job.”

Man the bar could not get any lower and yet some men still can’t reach it.

The bar was an inch above the ground and the guy dug a hole to avoid it.

funny how hot dogs come in packs of six but hot dog buns come in packs of twelve and also the united states has more blood on its hands than any other country in the world just by refusing asylum to refugees 

[memeufacturing-deactivated20161]

ever notice how you park in a driveway but drive on a parkway and also the british nation remains proud of its legacy as the world’s most murderous empire in all of recorded history and refuses to acknowledge its massacres

[memeufacturing-deactivated20161]

isn’t it pretty interesting how a ship carries cargo but a car carries shipments! it’s also funny how the western nations will teach in history class all about how the west brutally exploited Africa and the Middle East but continue to invade those same regions in the modern age “for their own good”, which is the same thing they said during the colonial era

The Philadelphia police department has acknowledged that Officer Lichtermann does indeed have a Nazi officiated tattoo and possible Neo Nazi ties.

The police officer also has been documented dressing up as Nazi Officials, but the Philadelphia Police Department had NO issue with hiring and keeping him.

This is beyond disgusting. People LOVE to say that there isn’t biases in the police force and that every police is good and just doing their job, but look at this? The sad thing is, there are probably MORE White Supremacist within that department who do not wear permanent identifiers.

[untoldfable]

This is what I have to say about rape

At this point we have all heard about the disgusting and unjust way rape cases are treated in today’s society. For some reason it is fine that someone who smoked a little weed without hurting anyone should be locked up longer than someone who took what they wanted from someone’s body without permission. Somehow today it is normal to feel shame when you are a victim of rape, but feel no shame if you are a rapist. This is a shame that keeps people who have been through it, including myself, silent. If I feel there is no need for me to report these acts because I know it will cause further harm to my mental state than good it should be a sign that it is time for our society to WAKE UP. As someone who has gone through rape on a personal level on more than one occasion let me put this into perspective. 

When you are raped you cannot just look back on it as “20 minutes of action”. You can’t look back on it and say “well I got too drunk but it won’t happen again”. You look back on it and think of everything you could have possibly done to prevent the situation. Even if you did nothing to provoke it. You think to yourself “maybe I am just a slut, maybe I did something to make them think I wanted this”; even when you were in a room alone with the door shut just trying to sleep. Or when you clearly expressed multiple times to someone the fact that you were not going to have sex with that person. It ruins the way you view sex for the rest of your life. This isn’t something you get over weeks, months, or even years later. This is something that sticks with you forever. You remember how you felt and associate that feeling to sex, whether is is consensual or not. Even in the cases where you can’t mentally remember it happening, your body will. I personally remember every detail of the times it has happened to me, but the feeling of your body remembering is totally different. There have been times I have been fully comfortable with a person and loved them so much that I wanted them to have all of me. Everything would go fine until the moment we started having sex. In that moment all of a sudden you feel like you are being suffocated and you no longer see the person you love with you but you see your rapist and you feel them holding you down and you can’t breathe. Even when they stop you feel like you are back in that moment and you can’t get out. It is so scary to feel your body go back to that moment. It isn’t something you can ever really forget. 

We need to start taking rape more seriously. It happens to so many people everyday. We all know someone who has been through it whether we know it or not. Everyday you walk by people on the street and chances are some of them have been through it. Rape is by no means a small issue yet our society is intent on making it one. When every victim who reports the issue has their whole personal life torn apart just to try to find a way to say it is their fault then there is an issue. I am scared to tell my family. I am scared to tell police. I am scared to even tell my friends because having something that has destroyed me inside be turned into such a minor event by other people makes me feel even more like it is my fault. When someone is shot you don’t bring the victim to court and try to say they were asking for it. When someone is killed no one lets the killer go saying that it would ruin their life to put them in jail. So why is it okay to say that rapists don’t deserve to go to jail just because they were only trying to “get some action”. Just because someone hasn’t been through it and doesn’t know the feeling it leaves you with does not mean it is okay to turn away and pretend you don’t see what is happening. 

This isn’t only something victims have to go through. The ones they love will at times feel as though it is their fault that you are freaking out. They will feel like they aren’t enough to make you forget. I am so thankful to currently have someone in my life who will never understand what it is like, but is willing to be patient and stand by me even when it would be easier to walk away.  

Rape ruins lives and it is time to start taking it seriously. Justice for rapists will in no way take away the damage they have done to their victims but it will show people that this isn’t an issue that will be taken lightly. It will put them away so they can no longer cause this pain in people’s lives. We need to show people that there are consequences for these actions and that we as a society will not stand for it.

Men who can’t cook, clean, or even do their own laundry are not “cute” and “in need of a woman to care for them”. They are spoiled brats so dependent on gender roles that they never bothered to learn the minimal skills to take care of themselves.
