the women of idv š„“š„“š„“
another idv edit! something is up with me bc i havenāt slept in two days and iāve made 3 edits within the last 9 hours (which is a feat for me) anyway enjoy this! spooky thing. iām a dj but with cartoons
new idv edit i made!! itās literally getting suppressed on tik tok lmao so here!!! interact pls :):):):):):)
nds yāall ever get stimmy and overexcited as if you were interacting w your special interests but rather youāre just having fleeting thoughts about your various interests that are making u rlly excited but youāre not exactly sure which interest to direct that excitement toward and itās painful
hereās an idv edit i just made btw this is the first edit iāve ever done for a fandom and itās p sick so i might make more esp if ppl like this. the clips are from like 4 different videos
tonight i will have to decide whether i want to go out dressed like will graham or like a monster high doll. hm.
GREAT PRETENDER SEASON TWO ???! R U KIDDING?
WHAT I FORGOT ABOUT BUT DIDNT KNOW I NEEDED
haha gonna use this as an expression reference for a human character
did you know that in 1953 eisenhower issued an executive order which banned gay people from being employed in government
and it was specifically to root out lesbians who enjoyed the job security of government work
āTo protect their careers, lesbian government workers moderated their behavior to avoid suspicion. They refused to socialize with other lesbians in public, attended social functions with gay men as their ādates,ā and carefully chose their wardrobes and makeup to project a feminine persona. Male employees who resented reporting to a female boss could trigger an investigation into her sexuality.ā - Robert J Corber āCold War Femmeā
this era was called the lavender scare and was both a direct result of mccarthyism and the classification of homosexuality as a mental illness during ww2. over 10,000 lesbians and gay men lost their jobs and as a result the daughters of bilitisĀ (the first ever lesbian activist group in the u.s.) formed in order to protect themselves and gay men
Important history
and itās John Kerryās apology for these events that was removed from the State Department website days after Trump took office Ā
White people at it again. The Flayed Lordās name is Xipe Totec, heās one of the main dieties in Aztec culture. He is primarily associated with fertility and agriculture, and is strongly connected to renewal and rebirth (the flayed aspect is supposed to symbolize how corn, a major crop, sheds itās outer layers). Aside from that, we know *very* little about mesoamerican cultures. What we do know mainly comes from retellings and accounts from Spanish conquerors, who of course had a biased perspective. Finding a new temple is a huge deal, because when the Spanish were systematically wiping out our culture, they made a point to build churches over preexisting temples and shrines. A lot of the churches are still there, but the Mexican government considers them historical buildings, and as such no one is allowed to dig under the churches or excavate the area. There are countless temples we havenāt seen because theyāre under these churches. Finding a temple we can actually study is such a big deal!
It really is a big deal! also, mesoamerican art history/anthropological research are actually very robust and rapidly growing fields of study. A big problem for what white people callĀ āAztecā research before the 90s was that, yes, a huge number of readable personal accounts were from the Spanish. The others were written in Maya Nahuatl which used two forms of glyphs, the iconographic type, and the logogram type.Ā
That was illegible up until a boy raised on Maya archaeological sites, David Stuart, was awarded a MacArthur genius grant (the youngest ever at 18) to study the glyphs. he was able to read them as well as his first language, solved several codes, and then other academics were able to easily translate codices and ruins. that was over 30 years ago, so now we are working with about 50 fully translated Nahua codices and hundreds of fragmented ones. there are many beautiful ruins and ancient sites like these all over South America, but the Spanish did make sure to build on top of many very important ones. restoring pyramids and temples that were plundered and destroyed by conquistadors and centries of war before them is crucial to ancient Mexicatl research, but the colonial churches above so many of these sites are also unfortunately historically important sites themselves. Mexico city is also an ancient city; it would be really difficult to excavate where families have built their homes for over 20 generations.Ā
If you need a quarantine binge one of my favorite professors at my alma mater has uploaded so many free fun lectures on Maya, Peruvian, Nahua art and visual culture here :-)
dipper pines and charlie kelly sound exactly the same
zuko has a lisp
me when i used to post about voltron discourse: *everyone liked that*
me now that i use this account as a horrendous shitty journal: *crickets*
kinda wish i had an option in witcher to call my horse plotka, the name āroachā comes off way different than an affectionate diminutive name for a fish
even if they changed it to english something like āfishieā would have been better bahahaha
Unions are trash. Theyll Destroy a whole company for firing a shitty worker.
unions are the reason you arenāt paid 2.50 an hour with steel beams about to bust ya head open shut up lol
Unions are why you have 5 day, 40 hour full-time work weeks. Unions are why they have to pay you in actual dollars instead ofĀ ācompany creditsā that you can only spend at the company-owned stores. Unions are why there are fucking fire exitsĀ at your place of work. Unions are why itās not okay for your supermarket ground beef to be any percentage human.
You think your company pays you out of the goodness of their hearts? Or even out ofĀ āmarket pressure?ā TheĀ ājob marketā is a myth perpetuated by the capitalists. Corporations would pay you nothing if they could get away with it. And you argueĀ āoh, but if they paid me nothing Iād just go to another one.ā Wrong. Because to maximize profits, they all want to pay you nothing.Ā Corporations exist to maximize profits while reducing risk for investors. Itās part of their entire function to find ways to cut costs as much as possible, and that includes finding ways to pay you nothing.
Unions are your defense against that. You think all a union does is strike? If you pay union dues, a lot of that is spent on lobbyists in various governments reminding your lawmakers that you have rights as a living human being that a corporation should not be able to stomp all over. Unions hire lawyers so that if youāre fired for bullshit reasons, the union can stand up for you against your boss. Theyāre called unions because workers are unitingĀ to pool resources so that they can stand up to these corporate overlords with more money than God.Ā Unions exist because you might not have the words, resources, or time to fight workplace injustices all by yourself. Thatās the whole fucking point.
And if a business shuts down because a union is striking, itās because the business was abusing people and didnāt deserve to be in business anyway. Donāt make excuses for the corporations. They already have trillions of dollars and a couple million lawyers to do that for themselves. They donāt need your help.
The erasure of labor history from US history curriculum has caused so much fucking damage to this country.Ā
ok this post is amazing until the āUS history curriculumā bit: can we stop fucking blaming education for the damage to this country? itās literally the ruling class ruining it. stop blaming uneducated individuals for being uneducated when the lack of good education is because of rich pigs not wanting visibility in the nation and also desiring funds to go to other areas than education. iām sick of always seeing people blaming shitty education for the ruins of this country when the bad education is just a product of the already bad system.
whoās gonna be the first person to deep fake a romance scene between two heavily shipped motion picture characters huh? who? iām waiting
