Jennifer Lawrence is so conceited the way she called out that reporter for being on his phone. that was rude as fuck. Like you can’t stop to think for one second that people aren’t on their phone 24/7 because they’re bored or because they’re trying to be rude? Like especially with press honestly?? They’re probably getting updates all the time, have notes, questions, receiving live info, like what the fuck.

This is why i hate Jennifer Lawrence. She’s condescending as fuck and acts like everyone around her should worship her and every shit thing that comes out her mouth. 

“We’re at the golden globes if you put down your phone you’d know that”. No shit, Jennifer. Jfc. The reporter probably knows that better than you do yourself, because that’s his fucking job to get coverage and ask questions from high-profile, rude celebrities like yourself, who constantly have nasty shit to say and you can laugh it off and be as rude as you like to anyone and everyone, because you’re just “keeping it real”. 

As if you don’t already get enough attention so you’re gonna be an ass to a reporter on their phone. And the fact she went out of her way to humiliate him further by not dropping it the first time she called him out is appalling.

[padmesbox]

this is what’s even more upsetting, he was trying to translate a question so she could fucking understand and in return she humiliates him; because of that gross Variety headline, he might even get in trouble with his boss.

fuck Jennifer Lawrence.

People who are saying to stop sending hate to Adam Driver are the same people who were against the hate Boyega was getting. The OPs statement that you shouldn't protest the rude behavior that Adams Drivers getting because Boyega also got hatred is

…Is incredibly ignorant. People shouldn’t be rude no matter what?? Can you please try to elaborate on why we shouldn’t protest Adam Drivers treatment for his looks?

the post

hi,

i agree that people should not be rude no matter what, but there is a difference between making fun of a white dude for his looks and boycotting a movie because it stars a black man (and a latino man–i think oscar isaac also got hate, but john boyega got the brunt of it from what i understand).

like, there’s a difference between making fun of benedict cumberbatch for having a goofy face… and saying that john boyega shouldn’t be in star wars because he’s black. you know? the latter isn’t making fun of jb’s looks, it’s not saying “haha he’s got a goofy face,” it is racism. it’s so much worse than just being rude. it’s poison and hatred & it’s despicable.

so like, i don’t think OP is saying it’s FINE to make fun of anyone’s looks, because that’s rude and stuff, but there is absolutely a difference between making fun of adam driver the goofy looking white dude vs. hating jb because he’s black. like, there’s a chasm the size of the grand canyon between those two.

and also adam driver is doing just fine career wise, and will likely never want for roles, whereas john boyega (and oscar isaac, and every other poc actor) have to fight tooth and nail for every part they get, and also have to deal with being typecast as shit like “latino thug” “black thug” etc.

also, the post about not being mean to adam driver got way more attention (and i admit, i reblogged when i first saw it, it bc i didn’t think about the larger context) than any post i’ve seen defending jb & oscar isaac from racist bullshit

so yeah,thats my understanding (and keep in mind i am not a poc, im white, so i don’t have an insider’s perspective on this, and if any actual POC want to add to what im saying pls do)

tl;dr: there’s a difference between being rude & being racist, and the latter is much more serious but gets much less attention in fandom

Seriously, Dark Souls is so good about this, I accidentally became female and didn’t even know about it until I was changing my gear.

EVERY TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA I GET SO ANGRY.

[tuxedoandex-deactivated20200116]

but why

[faith-n-reason-deactivated20191]

Because it got burned. All of that knowledge, lost forever.

[aussietory]

[ultrafacts]

The library was destroyed over 1000’s of years ago. The library consisted of thousands of scrolls and books about mathematics, engineering, physiology, geography, blueprints, medicine, plays, & important scriptures. Thinkers from all over the Mediterranean used to come to Alexandria to study.Most of the major work of civilization up until that point was lost. If the library still survived till this day, society may have been more advanced and we would sure know more about the ancient world.

For me, it’s not necessarily interesting to play a strong, fearless woman. It’s interesting to play a woman who is terrified and then overcomes that fear. It’s about the journey. Courage is not the absence of fear, it’s overcoming it.

Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didn’t know what he’d done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

Why can’t we have a movie about him?

[elasmata]

He was often called “Sempo”, an alternative reading of the characters of his first name, as that was easier for Westerners to pronounce.

His wife, Yukiko, was also a part of this; she is often credited with suggesting the plan. The Sugihara family was held in a Soviet POW camp for 18 months until the end of the war; within a year of returning home, Sugihara was asked to resign - officially due to downsizing, but most likely because the government disagreed with his actions.

He didn’t simply grant visas - he granted visas against direct orders, after attempting three times to receive permission from the Japanese Foreign Ministry and being turned down each time. He did not “misread” orders; he was in direct violation of them, with the encouragement and support of his wife.

He was honoured as Righteous Among the Nations in 1985, a year before he died in Kamakura; he and his descendants have also been granted permanent Israeli citizenship. He was also posthumously awarded the Life Saving Cross of Lithuania (1993); Commander’s Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (1996); and the Commander’s Cross with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2007). Though not canonized, some Eastern Orthodox Christians recognize him as a saint.

Sugihara was born in Gifu on the first day of 1900, January 1. He achieved top marks in his schooling; his father wanted him to become a physician, but Sugihara wished to pursue learning English. He deliberately failed the exam by writing only his name and then entered Waseda, where he majored in English. He joined the Foreign Ministry after graduation and worked in the Manchurian Foreign Office in Harbin (where he learned Russian and German; he also converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church during this time). He resigned his post in protest over how the Japanese government treated the local Chinese citizens. He eventually married Yukiko Kikuchi, who would suggest and encourage his acts in Lithuania; they had four sons together. Chiune Sugihara passed away July 31, 1986, at the age of 86. Until her own passing in 2008, Yukiko continued as an ambassador of his legacy.

It is estimated that the Sugiharas saved between 6,000-10,000 Lithuanian and Polish Jewish people.

[returnofthejudai]

It’s a tragedy that the Sugiharas aren’t household names. They are among the greatest heroes of WWII. Is it because they were from an Axis Power? Is it because they aren’t European? I don’t know. But I’ve decided to always reblog them when they come across my dash. If I had the money, I would finance a movie about them.

[westsemiteblues]

He told an interviewer:

You want to know about my motivation, don’t you? Well. It is the kind of sentiments anyone would have when he actually sees refugees face to face, begging with tears in their eyes. He just cannot help but sympathize with them. Among the refugees were the elderly and women. They were so desperate that they went so far as to kiss my shoes, Yes, I actually witnessed such scenes with my own eyes. Also, I felt at that time, that the Japanese government did not have any uniform opinion in Tokyo. Some Japanese military leaders were just scared because of the pressure from the Nazis; while other officials in the Home Ministry were simply ambivalent.

People in Tokyo were not united. I felt it silly to deal with them. So, I made up my mind not to wait for their reply. I knew that somebody would surely complain about me in the future. But, I myself thought this would be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong in saving many people’s lives….The spirit of humanity, philanthropy…neighborly friendship…with this spirit, I ventured to do what I did, confronting this most difficult situation—and because of this reason, I went ahead with redoubled courage.

He died in nearly complete obscurity in Japan. His neighbors were shocked when people from all over, including Israeli diplomatic personnel, showed up at quiet little Mr. Sugihara’s funeral.
