Hello And Welcome

18, she/her, struggling uni student rip lmao This whole tumblr is a mess but it's my mess so eh

[profeminist]

“National Geographic called me and asked me to write the feminist facts about how The Lion King gets lion pride dynamics all wrong. I happily complied. Lions are matrilineal!! 

When I contacted Craig Packer, one of the world’s leading lion researchers, to talk  about this story he was IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE. He Skyped me almost instantly from a camp in Kenya and said he’s been waiting for someone to ask him this question since the original film came out.

Anyway, if The Lion King were real, Nala would be the star, Sarabi would be holding her up saying everything the light touches is our kingdom, Simba would have left and never come back, and when Nala got old enough Sarabi would have carved out a territory for her to rule.”

In real life, Simba’s mom would be running the pride

[profeminist]

UPDATE:

“Reasons men gave for lecturing me on lion pride social structure and telling me one of the world’s leading lion researchers is wrong (I am not kidding these are real): -Watched The Lion King DVD extras -Read a textbook 25 years ago -Has been to the zoo -Everyone just knows

If you ever wondered what it’s like to be a woman that communicates science, this is what it’s like. Any expertise you or your sources may have gained over decades of hard work are null and void because someone watched a DVD extra 25 years ago.”

Hey that last one is a Mood

[bichosis]

personally, nothing makes me feel more like a crazy freak than my intrusive thoughts. they take a physical toll on me. i can’t sleep or eat. they make me hate myself and they make me scared of myself. to see the thing that torments me literally almost everyday reduced to “eat leaf” is horrible and makes me feel so isolated. because if that’s what intrusive thoughts are then what the fuck is wrong with me?

and if i think that as someone who’s almost 20 and knows what actual intrusive thoughts are, i can’t imagine how it must feel being a younger teenager on this site trying to navigate life with mental illness and seeing something that can make you feel like a horror movie villain brought down to the level of “haha monch leaf”.

yall better get educated and knock it off before you start negatively affecting children more than you already do.

people who don’t suffer from intrusive thoughts can reblog ( and should ) but don’t add any stupid, unwanted commentary.

[dyke-pence-deactivated20210107]

those other thoughts, like “monch leaf cronch leaf” are a form of milder intrusive thoughts, because when i get them it’s like physically impossible to stop myself from monch cronch. BUT i also get the kind that OP was describing, and I definitely see your point.

[bichosis]

those are impulsive thoughts, intrusive thoughts are inherently disturbing and violent. please do some research before spreading misinformation.

[bogleech]

Even when we’re all little dumbass children we already know “I don’t care who started it” is bullshit

[leonkennedy]

I think this is important so I’m gonna share it here as well

[gaylonelydyke]

ok im gonna go on a minimini rant rn so just ignore

i love queer eye a lot, and ive been watching a lot of interviews, and I’m disgusted at how the producers of this show will force the fab five into uncomfortable, possibly dangerous situations without seemingly caring for their wellbeing? tan was asked if he was a terrorist twice, nearly walked off the show but continued, but he was just expected to continue helping these men? the episode with the tr*mp supporter, when they get pulled over by the police man, they werent told that this was fake, the whole cast except for them knew it was fake but they did not and it was such a scary and stupidly ignorant prank to pull on someone, especially with karamo driving and having to get out. karamo and tan rightfully refused to film the next day i think, but still they had to continue, then bobby, after telling the production team straight up when he got cast about his trauma with his religion and how he refused to do anything to do with a church, was FORCED to renovate a building for a church. and they tried to tell him it was just a community center. just. the disrespect i cannot beliiieve. i am disgusted by the amount of times they have been blindsided by ignorant things like this and expected to get on with it and if they walked off and refused to keep going i would not blame them at all. i getwhy they dont reveal who it was who called tan a terrorist but at the same time i dont want to be watching and loving someone in the episode, unknowingly knowing that im supporting a person who thinks like that. and tan, karamo and bobby deserve better than to have to deal with it.

Si la migra aparecen en su puerta

no abras la puerta. Estate calmado. Usted tiene derechos.

Si piden entrar, pregunten si tienen una orden firmada por un juez.

Si dicen que lo tienen, piden verlo.

Una orden de administración de ICE (formulario 1-200, 1-205) no les permite entrar a su hogar sin su consentimiento.

Si no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, usted puede negarse a dejarlos entrar

Si se fuerzan, no resistan. Dile a todos en la residencia que permanezcan en silencio.

Si usted es arrestado, permanezca en silencio y no firme nada hasta que hable con un abogado.

[psykopsy]

Não sei se está acontecendo com brasileiros também, mas fica a dica

Se a imigração aparecer à sua porta,

Não abra a porta. Fique calmo. Você tem direitos.

Se pedirem para entrar, pergunte se têm mandado assinado por um juiz

Se tiverem, peça para ver

Um mandado administrativo da ICE (formulário 1-200, 1-205/form 1-200, 1-205) NÃO permite que entrem em sua casa sem o seu consentimento

Se não tiverem um mandado assinado por um juiz, você pode recusar a deixá-los entrar

Se eles forçarem a entrada, não resista. Diga a todos na residência para permanecerem em silêncio

Se você for preso, permaneça em silêncio e não assine nada até falar com um advogado

[dextrophobia]

Si des agents d'immigration apparaissent à votre porte :

N'ouvrez pas la porte. Soyez calme. Vous avez des droits.

S'ils demandent d'entrer, demandez s'ils ont un mandat singé par un juge.

Si oui, demandez de le voir.

Un Mandat Administratif ICE ( Formulaire 1-200, 1-205 ) ne les permet pas d'entrer votre maison sans votre consentement.

S'ils n'ont pas un mandat singé par un juge, vous pouvez refuser de les laisser entrer.

S'ils entrent en forçant, ne résistez pas. Dites à tous dans votre résidence de rester silencieux.

Si vous êtes arrêté·e, restez silencieux·se et ne signez rien avant que vous parliez avec un avocat.

Boosting this warning!

[chimaeracabra]

Oh, shit. Really?

[lokicolouredglasses]

If you’re nearby, especially if you’re white, you should stick around and have your camera out.

Snopes says the cops in the photo here claim it was a hot day, and they were trying to prevent the cars overheating, but 1) Cops can lie and 2) Even if these cops DID have a good reason, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are others out there with less honest intentions.

Keep an eye out, and be safe.

[wishful-thinkment]

snopes: we asked the cops if these cops were up to no good and they said that they weren’t so it turns out that everything’s fine and there’s nothing to see here

[gemstone-gynoid]

Oh absolutely

[ragemovement]

Yeah lemme just block the road with my hood up to cool down my car….

Fun fact: cop cars are performance machines that use high tech parts to maintain power and reliability (the cops are lying)

I’m not saying he would win, but like….I get it

[f1rstperson]

This is an interesting story because people my parents age are like “How dare he” and people my age are like “oh same”

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

What’s even more interesting is he’s not serious. In India there’s a culture of intense deference to parents. He believes that this is a very unhealthy way for people to live and so he’s using this court case as a way to tell people that the idea of “you must grovel in gratitude to your parents because they brought you into the world and fed and clothed you” is a bad thing and that parents have to feed and clothe you because it’s their damn job and they chose to have you.

He really gets on with his own parents and his mother has publicly voiced her support for him.

Tl;dr: This isn’t incel bullshit like the dude who’s parents evicted him last year, this is a political protest to unhealthy expectations parents have for their children even though he isn’t pressured into those expectations by his own parents.

Nothing is “TMI” for me. I’m nosy as shit. Tell me everything. Spare no detail.

[an-drom-eda]

so i saw some people discussing how loki in ragnarok shouldn’t have been at all phased or subverted by dr. strange – which i agree with, but also, hey, it’s comedic and you can argue that he was taken off-guard, but upon re-watch, something stuck out to me –

there’s this moment when they appear at the bottom of the stairs and thor rolls down the last couple and stands up and he says

we could’ve just walked.

and it made me think of how magic works in terry pratchett’s novels, how (to paraphrase) the hard part wasn’t turning someone into a frog, it was not turning someone into a frog when you knew how easy it was.

like, the whole scene with dr. strange is just. all magic. all pointless magic. unnecessary magic, when, well. they could have just walked.

whereas loki doesn’t really rely on magic overmuch in the movie – he uses it as a tool, when he needs it, but if the job can be done with plain old non-magical trickery or a knife, he just uses those. he resorts to magic when he’s cornered by valkyrie, he uses it when his goals are most directly accomplished by using magic rather than by other means.

whereas dr. strange is using magic all over his scene, just to use it. just because he can. magic was unnecessary for ninety percent of what he did in that scene, the only time he needed magic was to whisk them away to norway. but he teleported all over the place even when he only needed to move a few feet, gave thor an ever-refilling beer that just spilled everywhere, floated around to make a show of how ~magical~ he was, when…

he could have just walked.

i mean, i’m very sure that the filmmakers intended it for comedic effect, but there’s also a layer there of dr. strange being much less comfortable with magic than loki is – loki doesn’t need to bust out the magic at every opportunity, it’s simply a skill, a tool that is completely under his control and at his disposal. whereas dr. strange (at least in his scene in ragnarok) is showing off, which reeks of insecurity.

i guess i’m thinking… if you take the magic away, loki is still a deadly, formidable opponent with many tricks up his sleeve, but dr. strange is just a guy in a cape.

[johnnythirteenguns-deactivated2]

this is good and true because in the comics loki and dr strange got in a fight in a parking lot and then both of them had their magic taken away so loki just punched stephen through a wall and called it a gay ass day

[batmanisagatewaydrug-deactivate]

in fairness most days for Loki are gay ass days regardless of how many wizards he punches
