Aside from fact that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s thought process is both horrifying and fascinating, this story is really f***ed up:

So basically, Trump told his supporters COVID was no big deal and not to trust our top public health expert, and as a direct result Fauci and his family not only received death threats, but faced what could have been a very real attempt on his life.

But Republicans were too afraid to vote to impeach Trump because... they were receiving death threats. Don’t they see what they’re doing? They’re literally just handing the terrorists what they want on a silver platter.

This is not a tenable situation. When the nation’s top public health expert and the entire Congress, including the line of succession, have their lives threatened and survive basically due to pure luck, it is a canary-in-the-coal mine situation.

When do we start to take this threat seriously?

(Also, yes. Apparently Fauci did show up for the work the next day. Because of course he did.)

Dr. Fauci: *has been working every day since the pandemic started to get us a vaccine, faced death threats from people who don’t believe in science, still kept working despite the fact that he’s 80 years old and being harassed by people including the former president, stood up to Trump and his supporters and instead of quitting or retiring, joined the Biden administration to continue to share information with the public about the vaccine*

Republicans: I don’t think I can vote to impeach because my own supporters believed the lies I spread to them :/

Thinking about that guy that created a cleanroom in his local makerspace and built an entire gene therapy from scratch, making a virus that supposedly delivered the ability to digest lactose and then SWALLOWED IT LIKE A MAD SCIENTIST AND CURED HIMSELF OF LACTOSE INTOLERANCE, EATING TWO CHEESE PIZZAS TO PROVE IT

Unpopular but true: a large reason why grocery store are empty now isn’t just because there’s a bunch of greedy, awful people panic everything in sight to spite others. Sure, there’s some hoarding assholes, but a lot of it is people realizing they will now need over a month’s worth of groceries in one go when they might usually only buy enough to last them a week, maybe two, and people who can no longer supplement with going out, people who are now eating three meals at home when usually their kids eat lunch at school and they have lunch at the office… that’s a hell of a lot more food than most families need to have on hand, including people who normally never cook and just grubhub everything. The food supply chains will hopefully stabilize a bit in the coming weeks - just wanted to point out it’s not all malicious and people aren’t as awful as is being said. I’m under self imposed quarantine, social distancing, working from home and staying away from others. Hoping all of you guys are safe and feeling ok.

[headspacedad]

just about every person coming through my line at the grocery store is just buying what they’d usually buy when they buy groceries.  They’re just buying MORE of it than they’d usually buy.  Because they’re needing more than they’d usually need.  I lost count of how many times I was asked if we had any more eggs simply because people told me they were cooking sit down breakfasts for their kids now instead of ‘something they can send them out the door on the way to school with’.  We’re not sold out of milk because we’ve got milk hoarders stalking up their garage for the next five months with milk.  We’re out of milk because everyone’s home now and drinking more of it.  Same with bread.  Our cake mixes aren’t flying off the shelves because people are worried about dessert shortages.  It’s because people are home and doing baking with their free time.  So - yeah - there are some assholes out there hoarding shit.  But its not that simple.  It’s rarely that simple.  Beware of people that tell you its that simple.

should also point out that my store, and most others, have, for a couple weeks now, had a limit on how much of a certain thing people can buy.  So no, even when we do get trucks in, no one’s walking out of our store with two cartloads full of toilet paper.  And I’ve only had to turn away two people that tried to overbuy in the past two weeks as well.

[waltzshouldbewriting]

Huh. Hadn’t thought about it like that before

[adhdedrn]

#we should all try to be critical and thoughtful when encountering narratives that suggest that humanity is inherently selfish #or promotes the perspective of viewing your community as a hoard that you’re separate from#cause these beliefs really do limit your ability to trust in your neighbors and establish mutual aid networks &#make you more susceptible to eugenics propaganda#criticize individuals behaving badly or even specific behavior that is widespread- but when it comes to criticizing ‘humanity’ or whatever#be careful and think about what you actually mean#I saw someone criticizing getting 3 months of meds & like I normally get my meds in 3 month batches as of like a year ago#cause I’ve been consistently on the same meds for like half a decade#and also I don’t know if I’ll even be able to see my psychiatrist in the coming months (via @closet-keys​)

Thanks, Now I have nightmares

[brunhiddensmusings]

this was long before cartoons were ever thought of as ‘for kids’, the target audience of this one was roughly 20-40 betty boop cartoons featuring cab calloway singing, yes, but slang has changed so much you dont realize he was singing about opium, sugar daddies, death, weed, sex, booze, and gambling back when gambling was nearly as tabboo as sex and drugs. ‘minnie the moocher’ where cab calloway is a dancing walrus is specifically about someone who does literally everything on that list but die

most of the animation studios had their ‘thing’ to make their animation stand out, disney had fluid motion linked with quality music, warner brothers had top notch dialogue with carefully crafted facial expressions, MGM had comedic timing down to the individual frame that no live action comedian could dream of achieving, terrytoons had the budget of a ham sandwitch and a fistfull of nickels fleischer studios however had authentic jazz and heavy toned subject matter, often crossing the line of what we think of as ‘cartoon violence’ into realistic

[peathefeary]

idk why this is making me so emotional???

[mcloveleigh]

I love this. I’ve always had a love for cartoons

[melaninondeck-deactivated201907]

Cab Calloway, he was a legend performer and entertainer, although he’s listed as a jazz singer he did much more with his voice, his singing style and delivery was very unique. Cab (with his band) was the first black artist to sell over a million copies of a single record and he paved the way for many artists to come. Happy Black History Month.

[impormable]

sorry to make this long post longer, but I feel like it needed some actual photos of Cab Calloway, who is, in fact, the greatest

Imagine all of the insufferable oscar bait quarantine movies that are gonna come out in a few years, about a husband and wife forced to stay home together, and slowly learn to actually love and appreciate their spouse.

[emphasisonthehomo]

One of the Important Scenes will be where Husband watches Wife idk fucking eat an entire can of olives and goes “I- I didn’t know you liked olives” and she’s like “Yeh I love them” *insert obnoxious slurping eating noises to prove she is a Relatable Female Character.*

And then cue dramatic melancholy music while he sits and thinks about how his job is actually meaningless in the face of the fact that it’s prevented him from learning more about the woman he married all those years ago.

There’s a bunch of scenes where they look pensively at each other from the doorway. They start off quarantine sitting on chairs on opposite sides of the living room. As the days progress they move closer and closer. By the end of the movie they’re next to each other on a love seat.

It’s about two upper middle class white heterosexuals. He works at a bank and she runs an etsy shop making tiny idly jewelry. Their neighbor is an Eldery Likable Black Man who offers them sage advice talking over the fence of their backyards. He of course eventually dies of the virus, leaving his two neighbors to learn and grow from the experience- and to treasure what really matters in life.

It makes 10 Bazillion dollars and several high brow movie critics talk breathlessly about how it accurately and beautifully handled the emotional and social struggle of life during the pandemic.

[emphasisonthehomo]

Husband is played by like Leonardo DiCaprio or something. Wife is a slim blonde actress who is 20 years younger than him, even though in the move their characters somehow went to high school together. Black Neighbor Killed Off For Character Development is played by Morgan Freeman. The movie is touted as one of the most Important Films Of The Decade.

[cricketcat9]

Yep. That’s The Movie. IMO there also will be Elderly Heroic Asian Woman, owner of a grocery store, speaking bad English,  suffering but Performing Heroic Acts for the community, even the asshole racist who will eventually reform, cue tears. 

[katbelleinthedark]

The whole film just flashed in front of my eyes.

[pesky33]

I’ve had some thoughts to add

Possible tag lines

‘It took the government keeping them apart to keep them together’

‘What they never realised was they’d been socially distancing for years already’

‘2 metres isn’t so far when you’ve already grown miles apart’

Scene 2/3 through

There’s a scene where they breathlessly await the results of a covid-19 test.

The doctor says ‘you don’t have covid-19... and neither does your daughter’ and they’re like ‘but we don’t have a daughter’ and the doctor says ‘you will in 5 months!’

Ending

And then they’re sitting watching the news and the lockdown is lifted and they look at each other and he says ‘can I kiss you now?’ And she says ‘you better had’

Epilogue

Five years later the kid is starting school and they wave goodbye as she goes in and say ‘see you later Corona’

true crime is becoming to girls what ww2 is to boys

[otakusapien]

#there’s definitely some amount of difference#because a lot of women get into true crime#because they’re overly aware that the majority of the murder victims are women#and it’s kind of a response to knowing how dangerous it is to exist in this world as a woman- like ‘this could be me’#or ‘this is how i would protect myself if i were in this situation’#or even trying to make true crime seem more like a show because it makes the possibility that they’ll be harmed seem less likely#but also there’s serial killer fangirls so like#you really can’t defend that

[theyoungestwhateleydaughter-dea]

The majority of murder victims are, in fact, men.

Specifically, 79%.

The most murdered group, specifically, are black men.

The LEAST murdered demographic are middle class white women, who oddly make up a majority of the murder victims shown in true crime programs and news reports, and also the ones who make up the majority of true crime fans.

It’s called Missing White Woman Syndrome, and it’s based in racist disregard for non-white lives and patriarchal protectiveness of (white) women and it leads white middle class women to have a vastly overblown idea of their own vulnerability to random serial killers.

Note, ‘overblown.’ These women are feeling fear for a vanishingly unlikely occurrence, akin to preppers who spend their lives preparing for Russian invasions. It’s not a healthy or rational fear, and it shouldn’t be encouraged.

[theaudientvoid]

It sure was a trip watching in real time as feminism decided that telling women that they must spend their entire lives in fear was constituted empowerment.

[theyoungestwhateleydaughter-dea]

Oh, hey, here’s everything I’ve ever tried to say about FearFeminism summed up nicely in one punchy sentance!
