I think aliens would find astronauts charming with their stocky limbs and helmets that look like a big shiny eyeball. I think they would own marketable plushies of them or perhaps a labubu style keychain

The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws

Veteran here, can confirm that you can get "failure to adapt"ed practically just by asking for it. It's even easier if you're still in basic or AIT. You may face some harassment, but that's leagues better than being a killing tool.

Happy to talk if anyone needs guidance.

I’m dead serious when I say my favorite salmon dean moment is when Sam finds that horrible taxidermy animal with the costume on and holds it up for Dean to look at.

I feel like contouring is lowkey racist

[heartof-au79-deactivated2024090]

Is this a joke?

[chambaeli]

Noo lol I knew I’d regret phrasing it that way. This is tumblr, after all…

It’s not “people who contour are themselves automatically racist” but that the desired face shape created by contouring is one that, at the end of the day, pretty much reflects existing white standards of beauty. A thinner, pointier nose, smaller chin, high angled cheekbones and (on occasion) smaller lips. Also if you’re darker skinned you have to use a much lighter shade of foundation  thus ending up with an overall lighter face.

I probably could have phrased that better.

[burmeseauntie]

No, you are absolutely correct. In fact it is not even lowkey in the performance arts/entertainment world. I’ve known how to contour since I was 9, because I was in ballet. I was taught by an older Asian dancer who told me that I was already darker than everyone else, my face couldn’t look different too. So she showed me the basics, then left me with a picture of a white person as the goal to emulate. 

It’s always been explicit and intentionally racist in terms of what is considered correct contouring technique is to emulate white associated features. Which is not to say that contouring is bad, but it is good to ask ourselves why we do not contour to make our noses look wider and more distinguished. Or why we don’t shadow and highlight to make the face look perfectly round? While contouring is not bad ( and is actually very cool to literally be able to control the way people perceive your face, it’s like magic) it’s good to ask ourselves why we contour the way we do.

Facebook is paying people overseas promoting Alberta separatism | CBC Music

A CBC News investigation found a number of Facebook accounts run by people overseas impersonating real Albertan separatists.

CBC uncovered several more accounts with links to Pakistan, including a number of pages that appear to be part of a co-ordinated network. 

The Legacy Archives, with close to 9,000 followers, says on its profile it's dedicated to history and philosophy. Yet it frequently posts on Alberta separatist pages, often using highly emotional language.

According to Facebook's page transparency feature, the Legacy Archives is managed from Pakistan and the U.S., along with several other accounts that frequently post in separatist groups and appear linked.

CBC was able to link the Legacy Archives, Trend Top and History Addicted — which were also from Pakistan, with one page owner listed as being from the U.S. — because they are admins of a small Facebook group called Rise of Alberta.

It's not clear who runs the pages.
