yknow how you want to like female characters and not immediately hate them but at the same time they’re often written by those men that have a limited understanding of women as people and it’s really hard to like a character that is less meant to be a person and more of a wanking hand puppet intended for the male gaze

[cumaeansibyl]

the flip side is when we’re supposed to dislike a female character but she’s obviously a straw-woman the writer’s using to work out some unresolved issues he has with an ex or his mom or an unrequited crush so you actually kind of like her out of spite (especially when the narrative insists she’s terrible but the real person she’s based on was wholly reasonable and the writer can’t conceal that)

[prokopetz]

Bonus points when the dude we’re supposed to think she’s such a harpy for being hostile toward is just an endless parade of predatory red flags, but the narrative never acknowledges it due to the writer’s evident honest belief that that’s just how you interact with women.

I’ve created a useful resource for English teachers.

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

If I was an english teacher I would 100% use this as a teaching aid in class :D

[highwaytohell-a]

I am an English teacher, and I might just use it.

Fourteen years ago… a Death Eater named Bellatrix Lestrange… used a Cruciatus Curse on my parents. She tortured them for information… but they never gave in. I’m quite proud to be their son. But I’m not sure I’m ready for everyone to know just yet. (x)

that adhd feel when your voice gets super loud when you're excited and then people snap at you to calm down and suddenly you're not so excited anymore

In French, we don’t say “ninety nine”, we say “quatre vingt dix neuf” which roughly translates to “I’ve never heard of a functional numeric system before” and I think that’s beautiful

I want you all to know that an Arab Muslim from Tunis proposed the Theory of Evolution near 600 years before Charles Darwin even took his first breath. Don’t let them erase you.

[evilscum-deactivated20160223]

his name is Ibn Khaldun

[imaanhammaam-deactivated2016031]

Also, it was not the apple falling from a tree that made Issac Newton “discover” gravity. He was reading the books of Ibn Al Haytham, an Arab Muslim from Iraq, who pioneered the scientific method, discovered gravity and wrote about the laws governing the movement of bodies (now known as Newtons three laws of motion) some 600 years before Newton existed. Without him, modern science as we know it wouldn’t exist. Read on him. His achievements are far greater than what I’ve just mentioned here.

#no offense but arabs literally invented chemistry and algebra and we came up with the concept of the camera #the cataract operation that’s still practiced today was invented by an Arab #we created alchemy and the wright brothers used abbas ibn firnas’ findings and writings to build on to create a plane #I could go on and on and on #pls don’t erase our scientific history

I reblog this post every time I see it

[coasttocoastlikebutteredtoast]

I have never heard of this guy and THAT IS A PROBLEM. Such an influential man being pushed aside in basic western historical texts is tragic.

Noirbnb….like Airbnb, minus the racism.

Black people inspire me everyday, the world gives us shit and we take it and turn it in to something beautiful.

[its-a-different-world]

Yooooooooooooo!!! I will be using! Lit!

[goodluckrob-deactivated20221110]

Support my bro Stef and Noirbnb. For real. Not even saying that because he’s my homie. That’s a legit business and it’s for us!

[organically-indigo]

FYI: They changed the name to Innclusive.

…If this post is gonna continue floating around and people really wanna support them, they should know that most likely they will not find noirbnb but they definitely WILL find Innclusive.
