Meryl Streep Perfectly Summarizes Why Sexism Is Still A Reality For Women

After discussing sexism in the refugee crisis, the Church, and financial systems, she went on to criticize her own industry for its deplorable lack of female film critics.

Tumblr users are often so arrogant and it shows. They can draw a full cast of POC characters but when POC say "Hey we want more than just our skin tone" they're suddenly deaf as shit.

Representation on Tumblr has become a way for white people to win brownie points just because they took a Hershey's bar and slapped it onto a person's skin tone.

The most disgusting thing is that they insist on making JUST African-Americans. They insist on making JUST one facial type, one nose type, one lip type, one hair type, one slang type, one skin tone.

And when they make a person Asian, it's Japanese. And when they make a person Hispanic, it's Mexican. And when they make a person indigenous, they never specify on which tribe/nation they came from, but you'll bet they're Native AMERICAN.

But my favorite part is when other POC demand representation and those same fucking white people are like "But but but look at all my black characters!!!!"

POC isn't just confined to America.

POC isn't just black.

POC isn't just Japanese.

POC isn't just Mexican.

POC isn't just Native American.

It's from the Miskitu in Nicaragua, from the highlands of Ethiopia, from the deserts of Saudi Arabia, from the mountains of Indonesia. It's from the arroz con gandules, from the folk music, from the festivals. It's many cultures blending, it's speaking more than just English, it's dealing with racism unique to our countries of origin.

It's more than just one universal experience, and white Tumblr isn't willing to show that.

Basically for the people who refuse to fucking read

Can you guys do some actual fucking research on anywhere other than whats at the borders of America before you slap a random ethnicity or race onto a character?

Yes. Reading excessively as a child for a lot of us was a form of escapism. But part of the reason so many of us struggle to read now is because we based our entire taste in reading on what helped us escape, but as we get older and our needs changed, a lot of us never adapted our reading tastes. So we keep trying to read YA fiction and it just doesn’t hit the way it used to and we assume it’s because we can’t read like we used to, but the reality is that we need a new genre of liturature to suit our new life experiences and mature taste.

K-Pop Spotlight: Eric Nam

This week, we’re highlighting Korean-American singer and songwriter Eric Nam as he embarks on a few new journeys—debuting his first album entirely in English, entering his 31st year, and leaving his mark on a music industry that leaves something to be desired in the way of representation.

We caught up with the Atlanta native to discuss his new album Before We Begin and more!

Your latest album is titled Before We Begin—is there anything you’d like to say before we begin this interview?

Before we begin—If you haven’t yet, you should go listen to my new album and then come back. Thanks.

How would you describe this album and how it differs from Honestly?

I think this album is sonically more mature and a little heavier than Honestly. It is also probably the most honest and vulnerable album to date. Oooh so much honesty, so much tea, so much heaviness, so many feelings.

This is your first album totally in English—can you tell us a little about the process and how it differed from creating music in Korean?

The process is largely the same, minus the fact that I don’t have to write Korean lyrics and record everything in Korean—which saved me a lot of time and effort. This is because I usually write all of my songs in English to start with and then write new Korean lyrics for each song, when the album is in Korean.

What’s one piece of advice you would give teenage Eric?

Do whatever you want and start music earlier than you did. You can do whatever you want.

What’s one thing that scares you and one thing that excites you?

One thing that scares me—rats. One thing that excites me is my upcoming tour and this bomb-ass album.

Favorite lyric off of this album and why?

“What happens when it’s over, when we’ve breathed our last breath?” This is such a simple and almost cliche line, but I think that it is timeless and relatable to anyone, anywhere. It is also open-ended enough for listeners to ask if this is about love or life or work or whatever, but I think the song LOVE DIE YOUNG really allows listeners to listen and apply the song to their life in whatever way is true and real to them, which is important to me.

If you could change one thing about the music industry today, what would it be?

I wish it wasn’t a massive numbers game and that ASIAN AMERICANS had a solid chance at representing and being represented.

[ARTICLE] Han Seohee·Jung Daeun’s Dangerous Celebrity Reveal…Cyber Defamation?

Previous singer trainee Han Seohee. And swept in with her is Jung Daeun; together, they continue to reveal secrets about the group MONSTA X.

On Instagram, Han and Jung publicized MONSTA X’s member Wonho’s debt and juvenile detention past, and even different member Shownu’s suspicious adultery. It has not been revealed whether this exposure is true or not. However, Wonho decided to leave MONSTA X last month, on the 31st.

It has been revealed that MONSTA X’s company Starship Entertainment plans on filing a complain against Han and Jung. If so, aren’t there legal issues with Han and Jung’s chain of exposure?

◇Cyber Defamation Will Be Difficult to Avoid That is not true. Han and Jung can be charged with the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and information Protection laws (the Information and Communications Network Act). It is commonly called ‘Cyber Defamation’. Its sentence is a lot heavier than the ‘general defamation’ of the criminal law due to its much larger online impact.

Especially for cyber defamation, even if the content is true, it is punishable. When it comes to excessive exposure of private life, even if it’s about a celebrity, that in itself is enough to be subject of punishment. And if the content of the exposure is a lie, the punishment gets even worse.

For cyber defamation to be valid, the reason for slandering the person has to be recognized. In the criminal law’s general defamation, there are different points right here as well. That is, to Han and Jung whether there was, or wasn’t, a goal to slander the MONSTA X members has to be uncovered in order for them to be punished with cyber defamation.

The Supreme Court ruling said that “since it will be said that the slander was for the public good and that there is a conflicting relationship amongst themselves, if the stated truth is about public interests, as long as there isn’t a special reason, it cannot be recognized as a goal to slander.” Along with this, the Supreme Court ruled saying that “when objectively looking at the fact that this stated truth is a circumstance concerning public interests, as something concerning public interests, the doer has to have subjectively stated that it was for public interests.” (Supreme Court Decision of 2009. 6. 11. Sentence 2009, 156 Ruling).

Therefore, if Han and Jung don’t want to be charged with cyber defamation, they have to assert public interests in a way that shows that “the suspicious disclosure was to prevent the idol’s misconduct from having a big influence on the personality of the youth.” But the disclosure from until now seems to be a personal grudge caused by MONSTA X’s member Wonho’s debt. We’re now looking to see how the court will accept the claim of public interest like this.

Until now, looking at this situation, the chances of them being charged with cyber defamation look a little higher.

◇If they commit a crime during probationary, they might have to go to jail.

In 2017, Han was sentenced to 3 years of prison labor and 4 years of probation at an appeal court after being indicted because of her violation of the act on the use of narcotics (Narcotics Control Act). After this, she did not appeal to the Supreme Court, finalizing her sentence, and she is currently on probation.

If a person sentenced to probation commits another crime while still on probation and is sentenced to the maximum imprisonment sentence, the probation sentence becomes invalid (Article 63 of the Penal Code). The effect of the delay disappears, and the previous sentence is enforced once more. When this happens, the newly sentence penalty and enforcement is added to the delayed sentence.

Even if a criminal who received probation and a new criminal aren’t on the same category of criminals, it’s the same process. If a new criminal is on the same category, it increases the determination of punishment and the chances of receiving maximum punishment gets bigger.

Therefore, if Han is convicted of cyber defamation and receives the maximum sentence, her probation will not be valid anymore, and will become the worst of situations: having to go to jail. To prevent the annulment of probation, the progression of the trial either has to be dragged out or Han will have to receive leniency through a monetary penalty.

One other variable of this is that cyber defamation is a crime not prosecuted against objection. This means that if the victim does not want punishment to be inflicted, there can be no prosecution. Furthermore, if prosecuted, and if the victim doesn’t want it to be, the court will have to issue a dismissal of the prosecution. In the end, if Han agrees to settle with MONSTA X’s side and the intent of not wanting the crime to be prosecuted is received, the worst of the situations can be blocked.

◇Jung is also in danger of aggravation of repeated crime. If a person who has received a maximum sentence, completes the sentence, and in less than 3 years commits a crime equivalent to a maximum sentence, they can add up to double the time of their [new] sentence (Article 35 of the Penal Code). This is called aggravation of a repeated crime. It has been revealed that Jung has recently been released from serving time in jail after violating the Narcotics Usage Act. It hasn’t been 3 years since their release date either. Therefore, if sentenced due to cyber defamation, they can possibly receive a harsher sentence than Han, having committed the same crime through aggravation of repeated crime. If Jung wants to avoid aggravation of repeated crime, just like Han, they will either have to receive leniency through a monetary penalty, or reach a settlement with MONSTA X’s side, the better plan.

tl;dr my country is literally on fire and the politicians refuse to help

I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but you probably haven’t heard about what’s happening in Australia.

we’re on fire.

approximately ¼ of australia’s population is in catastrophic fire danger. A catastrophic fire level means your only chance of surviving is leaving before it’s too late.

it’s Spring in Australia, and rainforests aren’t meant to be dry enough to burn, yet at the time of writing this (11/11/19) there are 71 active fires in NSW (43 out of control), and 51 active fires in Queensland - not including those that have already burned before now, and there are more in other states. Sydney is already rated “catastrophic”, the first time this rating has ever been used there since its creation in 2009. That’s right, we had to add yet another level of destructiveness, because “high”, “very high”, “severe”, and “extreme” were no longer adequate. To quote the Fire Danger Ratings, “for your survival, leaving early is the only option”. conditions tomorrow will be the worst they have been, and people are evacuating as we speak. the fire fighters are preparing as best they can.

This isn’t just about people losing their homes; people have died and will die, countless animals have already lost their lives and many more will still perish. our land, our lives, and our hope is up in flames and will soon be nothing but ash. the annual fire season has not even begun yet. this is only the beginning. my native land is burning, and there is nothing i can do to stop it.

the government refuses to acknowledge that we are in a climate crisis. the fires have never been this bad. we have been in severe drought for more than a year which has only contributed to the force of these fires. the Prime Minister Scott Morrison has done nothing but send his “thoughts and prayers”. He will not accept aid from other countries because he is too egotistical to admit that we need it. All the while the people of this land are suffering. Climate change needs radical human change to be combated. we are already seeing the results of years of indifference, and this is barely the beginning of something that will only get worse the longer government’s and big companies refuse to act to counteract climate change.

Our government has also cut funding to Fire and Rescue NSW by 35.4%, the Rural Fire Service by 75.2%, and QLD Rural Fire Service by 26.42%, resulting in closures of services; they don’t have the resources to cope. We are fighting a losing battle against the results of climate change. and this is only the beginning.

12/11/19 UPDATE

At least 6 million people today are prepared for evacuating. There are strong winds, low humidity, and high temperatures which will only exacerbate and encourage the fires. Authorities have warned that there aren’t enough fire trucks to help everyone, so unless you are prepared to the maximum, you need to leave. 600 schools and TAFE’s across NSW have been closed due to the fires, with others in Queensland closing due to air quality being virtually unbreathable due to smoke. Rural Fire Service Deputy Commisioner Rob Rogers said the state was as prepared as it could be, with military aircraft on standby to rescue people from fires if needed.

As Queensland and New South Wales deal with these unprecedented bushfires, there is a lot of talk about how to stop, or at least reduce them. David Bowman is a professor of environmental change biology at the University of Tasmania and he says the short answer is that climate change is making a bad situation worse.

But it’s also much more complex than that. Much of Australia’s natural biodiversity has evolved to withstand and even stop bushfires due to a multitude of species being in one area. Eucalyptus trees encourage fires as they help spread seeds, but other species are naturally flame retardant and help to curb the fires. The issue is that so much of the native bush has been cut down for farming and agriculture that the natural fire defence has virtually been destroyed. Australia is the leading country in mammal extinction, as well as one of the worst 7 for biodiversity loss.

There have already been significant harmful impacts to wildlife, with entire ecosystems up in smoke and individual species affected, including around 350 Koalas presumed dead – all before the fires have reached their peak.

my heart goes out to the victims of the current fires, which we know have been exacerbated by the decline of native biodiversity. Australian conservation efforts need a radical overhaul. Mitigating the intensity of these fires, mostly set by humans and their activities, can be achieved by restoring our native ecosystem engineers, such as bandicoots, bettongs and potoroos.

These species help to maintain healthy forests by continually turning over and breaking down forest leaf litter, thereby drastically reducing fuel load. In their absence, fires are more intense, often reaching the treetops, which can affect populations of species already on the brink, like the Koala.

Slow growing and ancient Australian East coast temperate forests are of global significance, as these forests have some of the highest carbon storage on the planet. Fires of this intensity threaten their very existence but managing wildlife to reduce fire intensity and protect forests is under-appreciated for its importance in reducing the release of carbon into the atmosphere.

Every girl has had the experience where a creepy guy asks for our number and we don’t want to give it to him, but we also don’t want to get gutted in a back alley. “Give him a fake number!” I hear you call, okay and then he says “okay let me call you real quick!” Because they are learning. “Give them your number and then block them!” Okay and then they can plug it into something like Spokeo, pay $10 and know everything about you. So what do you do?

First pick a fake name, I use Jessica, then download the Google Voice app, hook it up to your email, pick a number, and set up a fake greeting with your fake name. You can set it to ring your actual phone like a normal call or text but they don’t have real info on you.

Go forth and don’t get murdered, ladies!

This is so fucked up that we as women have to go to these lengths to avoid creepy men because they don’t understand NO

dollsonmain

Another option is a burner phone. Get a cheap prepaid phone and put enough minutes on it to last you a couple calls from creeps to verify your number, then turn it off when you get home and only turn it on again when you’re going out and think you might need it.
