Do you ever attempt to make friends with people who seem really fun, start thinking you’ve made an impression and maybe established some level of friendship and then realize if you stop talking to them they’ll probably forget you in like a month? I feel like I’ve had too many people I make an effort toward because they’re so nice to me, only to realize that if they can’t be bothered for months at a time unless I reach out....they probably don’t care too much one way or another. : /
anime is fun

I’m hot as fuck :P
A tree planted on Saturday in Ferguson in Michael Brown’s memory was cut in half Sunday night and the dedication plaque was stolen.
Monday, April 20th

For the record:
On August 9, just hours after Mike Brown was murdered, a police officer let the dog he was “controlling” pee on the memorial for Mike. Around 7 pm that night, police then drove over the candles and flowers that Mike’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, and protesters had placed over the blood stains still left in the middle of the street.
On the early morning of September 23, one of the memorials for Mike Brown caught on fire. None of the witnesses knew who started it. It was rebuilt bigger and better hours later.
Shortly after midnight on December 26, the other memorial for Mike Brown was intentionally run over. It was rebuilt by protesters just a few hours later. Later that day, Ferguson officer Timothy Zoll called the memorial “a pile of trash”.
By April 19, the newly planted red oak tree dedicated to the memory of Mike Brown was vandalized and the plaque next to it was stolen.
Happy 420! Let’s take the time to remember the black Americans jailed for marijuana use/distribution far more than white Americans despite the usage rates being about the same. Look at how steady those arrest rates are for white people while the black arrest rate climbed steadily.
If anybody was wondering whether racism still exists, just know that after the small town of Parma, Missouri elected its first black mayor, 85% of its police force quit in protest. This happened last week. (x)
Let’s talk about The Kumbayah Myth.
In the Kumbayah Myth, racism will just stop if everyone just started acting nice to each other, and the only reason we still have racism is that people are silly.
Part of the Kumbayah Myth is the erasure of history, violence and power. In this falsehood, either no one is really at fault, or, actually, EVERYONE is at fault, so everyone is equally bad. This actually exists only to make white people feel better and never have to change their behaviors.
Go look at Without Sanctuary and maybe read up on The Reconstruction and come back and tell me it’s all equal and IF ONLY Black people were nicer shit would have been different.
Now, let’s talk about this picture I linked. It says, “Love is Blind” and has a blind black woman and a blind Klansman walking across the street holding hands….
Well, even the symbolism fails, because:
a) The black woman is basically minding her own business
b) The blind Klansman DRESSED UP AS A KLANSMAN- even blind he still HATES PEOPLE.
c) AND WE’VE JUST EQUATED A BLACK WOMAN, by nature of simply BEING A BLACK WOMAN as equivalent to a murderous terrorist.
Oh. Ok. If only those damn Black women would stop being so Black, the KKK wouldn’t HAVE to lynch, murder and burn them in self defense.
You know, tit for tat, right?
But let’s keep going- the only reason, at least, we’d see this picture working is because HE DOESN’T KNOW SHE’S BLACK. Otherwise, he’d push her into traffic and claim, “I’m blind! I didn’t know what was happening!”
What the world needs is not more hugs. It needs you white people to stop killing people of color. It needs for you to stop defending murderers. It needs for you to stop equating dark skin as violent threat, and therefore, justifiable homicide in self defense. It needs for you to recognize that YOU, collectively, pull this shit, and no, it is not “equal”, there is no “reverse racism”.
Love is not blind. Hate is blind- it refuses to see what it does, it demands no one speak of it or say a thing. And it kills and conveniently forgets a moment later.
Then demands hugs and holding hands and singing kumbayah, and wonders why everyone is so mean to it.
So, I have questions. Someone try to explain this to me.
Honestly one of the most important things I can say I’ve learned as an artist is that if you feel like you’re really stagnating, that probably means you’re seeing problems in your work that you have never been able to see before, but you haven’t figured out how to fix them yet.
You’re not really stagnating
You’re understanding of drawing has moved beyond your current execution.
Once you have finished processing the problems you’re suddenly seeing, you’re likely to correct them and suddenly make a huge breakthrough in your drawing.
Don’t push yourself, either. Sometimes you have to remove yourself from a problem temporarily to solve it, just don’t give up drawing altogether.
TL;DR feeling like your drawing is stagnating/getting worse means your eye is improving, and your hands are likely to catch up soon.
One of the things I like about this: they’re doing it without shouting down women.
Because “that doesn’t happen to guys” *IS* a feminist issue. Male victims of abuse being dismissed, blamed or ridiculed because they weren’t “manly” enough is a part of patriarchy. And you can raise awareness of that without dismissing other feminist issues or bringing it up as a “counter argument” to problems women face.
MRAs, take note. This is how you actually support men’s rights.
it’s 4am have you guys thought about cliffjumper’s ass tires lately
I’m glad this has been brought to my attention
She’s a fucking psychiatrist.

ACTUAL FAKE GEEK GUYS ONLY SUPERFICIALLY FAMILIAR WITH WHAT THEY’RE POSTING ABOUT
Okay some responses are trying to correct me and say Harley Quinn “canonically” used sex to cheat her way to her degree.What yall actually mean is some hack shitlord neckbeard writers retconned this to be the case because they decided sexy blonde woman + doctor LOL MUST HAVE CHEATED WITH HER EVIL WOMANLY CHARMSHarley originates from Batman: The Animated Series where she was a serious, competent doctor and a genius, which is also backed up by other comic stuff I’ve seen so whatever turds wrote that other garbage they can huff their ow farts
She’s a fucking Ph.D in psychology and criminology. She’s literally one of the most intelligent people in her field which is WHY she got to work with the Joker in the first place. She’s INSANELY intelligent and often outsmarts Joker in her own plans. She’s done things to Batman that Joker can only dream of because she doesn’t bullshit around when it comes to planning to kill him. Who the fuck’s the dumbass to call her “sexy but stupid” as if she doesn’t dumb herself down enough just to be AROUND Joker. omfg I need a minute.
Harley’s fake ditzy act is one of the best things about her character. People get lured in because she comes off as too naive to hurt a fly. Then she beats the crap out of them, robs them blind, you name it. Harley & Ivy are stellar examples of female villains who use sexist expectations as a weapon.
LET US NOT FORGET that in the ORIGINAL Harley canon BTAS she is the person who captured and damn near killed Batman and the ONLY reason she did not succeed in outsmarting the Bat is because the Joker hurled her out a window for it.
Honestly, I’ve wondered about the ditzy act. I’ve seen it described as a weapon like above, but it really feels more like a coping mechanism to me, a way of distancing her true self from what’s going on. It allows her to be a lot less affected by some of the horrible shit the Joker does.
Like when she’s talking to the Black Canary about her daughter, “Mistah J didn’t know about her. I knew that wouldn’t…that he wouldn’t…His work was too important. He couldn’t have a daughter. I went away for almost a year. When I came back to my puddin’, he was so funny, he acted like he didn’t even notice I was gone.”
From the scene, you know she knows it wasn’t a joke. But the light, bubbly, naive personality she puts on allows her to frame it like that, even in this serious moment.
When he hurls her out the window after she captures and almost kills Batman, the very same perception of naivety allows her to blame herself, to say ‘he didn’t get the joke’ (a reoccurring line from that story, tying back to Joker’s childhood, and the million lies he’s told.) Really, Harley knows she’s being treated wrong, that his rage has nothing to do with the fact that she had to explain the joke to him.
His rage is because he sees her as so far beneath him, so inferior, and yet she manages to do what he never could.
When The Joker’s not around, she’s still very much light and bubbly, but she allows herself to say the clever things she keeps to herself around the Joker. Instead of being the one who sets up the punchlines, she’s allowed to acknowledge how clever she is.
I feel the ditzy act is a way of coping with abuse and trauma, keeping it at an arm’s length until she’s ready to deal with it.
I’m just thinking out loud here, what do you think?
She’s not a ph.D, she’s an MD, she’s a psychiatrist. She canonically went to medical school, you can’t fuck your way into med school.
I love how blunt this is.
Following the election of the town’s first African-American mayor, five of the six officers on a small Missouri town police force resigned en masse, reports KFVS.
Former city clerk Tyrus Byrd was sworn in as mayor of Parma, Missouri on Tuesday only to find out that police officers, as well as the city attorney and a water treatment supervisor, had resigned before she took office.
According to outgoing Mayor Randall Ramsey, who is stepping down after 37 years in town hall over two terms, the city employees gave no prior notice.
Residents of the town, some pointing out that the town was probably over-staffed with police, were unconcerned about their safety after the two full-time and three part-time officers quit.
“I think it was pretty dirty the way they all quit without giving her a chance,” resident Martha Miller said. “But I don’t think they hurt the town by quitting, because who needs six police for 740 people?”
April 18
Less than 24 hours after being planted, the memorial tree for Mike Brown was vandalized and the plaque was stolen. The tree dedicated to Mike Brown was one of two trees destroyed in the park during those 24 hours.
These are the pictures of the damage done to the tree dedicated to Mike Brown:
KMOV has pictures of the damage to the other tree which they mistakenly reported to be the Mike Brown tree.
April 20
The tree dedicated to Mike Brown that was vandalized over the weekend has been replaced. The other tree that was cut in half has been replaced as well.
I laughed so hard I almost choked.
