Neglecting your needs and desires will not make you easier to love

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

if the "Complaint" links are not visible for you:

Option 1: try the DuckDuckGo search engine instead (bonus: dedicated to privacy! doesn't track your data!)

Option 2: go directly to LumenDatabase.org (the website that collects the complaints--and therefore the removed links) and search for the title you want. look for results titled "DMCA (Copyright) Complaint to Google" featuring the media you're looking for. Proceed to Step 3 (above).

Honestly employers oughtta be tripping over themselves desperate to employ chronically ill people. Who else is more intimately acquainted with prioritizing tasks, maximizing efficiency, and overcoming challenges? Like are you kidding me? Maybe I’ll miss a few days here or there. Maybe I’ll be grumpy when something hurts. But when I’m at my best? When I actually have energy? It’s like removing the training weights. I do the work of 3 people, easily. Even at my worst, I can usually eke out the bare minimum. Like idk about you, but I’d say that averages out to a pretty good deal.

[lifeafterpsychiatry]

I'm realizing that the question I need to be asking myself often isn't "do I feel like doing x?" but "will doing x make me feel better?" Because even if taking that shower or going for that walk or sitting down to draw or showering or eating or cleaning isn't what I'd prefer to do in the moment, it's very likely that I'll feel better afterwards. And maybe that matters more than whether I initially feel like getting started.

This is a little more niche as far as fan-efforts go, but figure it's worth boosting anyways:

SOC Fans are fundraising for billboards to put up in NYC and LA to save the Six of Crows spinoff.

Here's the Kickstarter - it's already about 2/3 of the way to target. Any small amount of money helps - even a $1 donation.

And even if you're not in the place to donate, please like and reblog!

emperor kuzco was clearly gay

[detectivehole]

hes 19, with unlimited power, and he ain’t got a gf. the only time we see him interact with any women his own age is when he’s rejecting like 7 of them rapid fire. he pretends to date pacha in a gag that lasts like 10 solid minutes. listen to me god damnit

[qqueenofhades]

Okay, but just in case anyone is coming to tumblr dot com for my hot takes on 20+ year old kids' movies: Kuzco super WAS gay (or at least coded as such) and of course, I didn't get it until I watched it as a gay grownup.

He is played obviously camp and dramatic, for a start, and there is the aforementioned "hate your hair/not likely/yikes yikes yikes/let me guess you have a great personality" summary dismissal of all his potential brides. Then he spends dinner asking Yzma about Kronk ("so he seems nice? He's what, in his late twenties?") and otherwise being slightly obsessed with him.

Then there is the whole Adventure of Doom with Pacha, him being ever huffy about the Kiss of Life, and then the restaurant gag where Kuzco takes to playing Pacha's fake wife and dressing up in ladies' clothing with great gusto (reinforced by the waitress' "bless you for coming out in public" remark when Pacha says they're on their honeymoon). Then when he is finally de-llamafied, we don't see him paired off with the obligatory girl from the lineup earlier, as might otherwise be expected in a Disney movie. Instead he is still single, but goes to found family it up with Pacha, Chica, Kronk, etc, which dare we remark is a very queer trope.

In short, I have no idea how a Disney movie with no white people (all the characters are Indigenous/people of color), a gay king, cross-dressing jokes, and the most offbeat plot of all time actually ever got made (can you imagine the Family Friendly Mouse doing that today? Let us also talk about Kronk because he is a brilliant deconstruction of both toxic masculinity and the musclebound henchman stereotype.) Other than that this was the Chaos Hour of animated movies in the late 90s/early 2000s, and yes.

So yes. There you have it. I will not be taking criticism at this time.

[flavinbagel]

In response to the question “How did a movie like this get made at all much less by fucking Disney?” there was a recent Vulture article that outlines the whole shit show of a history behind this film according to everyone (writers, directors, VAs, Stings) involved. The gist of the story is that they fucked up making a whole, true-to-form Disney musical that never came to see the light of day SO BADLY that Disney switched directors, locked the writer’s room, and didn’t review a single script until weeks after the film was in theaters.

Please, read this article if you have some time. This story is wild, and involves directors being pitted against each other Bake-Off style and a shockingly intimate documentary created by the wife of Sting who, himself was heartbroken by the decimation of the songs he wrote for the film including cutting a fantastic Yzma villain song sung by Eartha Kitt that is SO DAMN GOOD but would not ever have fit the more nailed-down Yzma we would eventually come to know and love. It’s so catchy though, I’m doubling up on calls to action but please listen now:

[theterriblethingabouttulio]

holy shit read the article. it’s worth it and completely batshit

[kat-witha-k]

This is fucking insane

[brightlotusmoon]

[mod2amaryllis]

I've never adequately appreciated the batshit brilliance of this joke, I've taken it for granted

[drtanner]

We watched this with the FC literally last night so I'm delighted to reblog this again. What a fucking movie.

[dduane]

Just said to @petermorwood last night, "I'd say it's time for a rewatch." Gonna do that right now. (If I have to sit here doing this Mailchimp crap, at least I can have Yzma yelling "Why do we even have this lever?!" in the background.

[jadedgenasi]

I've seen this before, but it's been years and it just came across my Twitter in its dying days. The words are from a favorite author of mine, Maggie Stiefvater, and they are the words I most need to hear when it comes to dealing with chronic pain and illness. I didn't need this the first time I saw it, six years ago. I need it now. Maybe you do, too.

[rabbiteclair]

a fun thing about being on medication that carries warnings like 'if you suddenly stop taking this you might have effects that can range from feeling crummy to psychosis' is that the pharmacy will still go 'haha oopsie we forget to get those pills you order every single month, you can do without for a while right'

[charlesoberonn]

Which path should he choose?

The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?

[moonimbued]

he should wander away and have a picnic while he thinks about what path to choose

[charlesoberonn]

Great idea! But where should he have the picnic?

Under the tree, or under the old fort?

[acatdisguisedasahuman]

By the sea, so he can enjoy the sound of the waves

[charlesoberonn]

A lovely choice!

Should he build a sandcastle to pass the time? Or perhaps go fishing?

[cynicallyaestetic]

Perhaps he could collect shells he finds interesting

[charlesoberonn]

Sounds fun!

Which shell should he pick up?

[anjing-jam]

This one

[charlesoberonn]

That's not a shell, it's a tiny earpiece.

Should he listen to music? Or to the mysterious pre-recorded message?

[sar-kalu]

He should give it back to the crab in the largest shell, they thought they had lost their wave-pod and are grateful he found it!

[charlesoberonn]

The crab wants to give a gift in return.

Should he accept the gift of power, or the gift of knowledge?

[sunw00d]

the gift of friendship :)

[charlesoberonn]

Friendship acquired!

Should they celebrate with pizza or ice cream?

[valentineish]

The crab friend cannot eat either of those! Let's split a nice seaweed salad instead. :)

[charlesoberonn]

So many options!

Should they get tossed salad, wiggly salad, or spiky salad?

[frescopino]

Seasar salad

[charlesoberonn]

Nothing beats getting it straight from the source

Should they use scissors or claws to cut the seaweed?

[somethingmissingthiswaycomes]

What about that sword in the first panel?

[charlesoberonn]

The circle is complete.

Through choices, friendship, and salad, he found his way to the path of the warrior. But he won't walk it alone.

Their path is just beginning, but this story is over.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Woven Blankets

The Pine Torch on Etsy

[witcheshaven]

Y'all this person is selling these hand-woven blankets for less than $200.

That’s INSANELY not as expensive as it should be. These types of blankets can take a whole month to make. Seriously, go support the artist if you can!!!!
