HELP IM ADDICTED TO MAKING THESE EDITS I CANT BELIEVE THIS MOMENT WAS IMMORTALIZED ON VIDEO
You look at them, you see the puppeteers do their thing and talk straight into the mic, and yet, you still can’t see anything but the puppets.
Come and See Him
This is like a dream you wake up from in terror but when you try to explain it to someone they don’t understand the escalation of pure evil you experienced and why you’re so shaken up by it
No, no it isn’t.
this gif is perfectly timed because it gives you enough time to read it, comprehend it, and still have this too-long-for-comfort moment of suspense before being punched square in the solar plexus
h. helP
The hubris...
this is art

found this sick keyboard at the thrift store and the mouse that comes with it is sick too
I’m sorry, this is so ugly. Probably because of the Comic Sans. But I can dig that mouse.
shut your fucking face fuckface
Oh they’re going to need salvation.
Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.
This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. They’re not getting my money, I don’t care how nice the people ringing bells are.
Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employee’s same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them.
It’s that time of year again! In case people don’t know… the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.
Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore can’t qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worth “of course” less than a man.
“ In the Army’s case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husband—the check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a “worker without expectation of remuneration,” and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man. “
hey since that season is coming up again!
To my American followers. Don’t support Salvation Army. Not only are they homophobic as shit, but I’ve also heard that they abuse a lot f homeless people. They only care about money, please don’t donate to them and give your money to charities that actually help people
Never don’t reblog.
To be clear: this is specific to America. It is not necessarily going to be true for all countries. Please don’t boycott your own salvos without proper investigation: in many countries they do good work.
Sorry but no, the Salvation Army was founded in the UK and even there still are homophobic as hell, to the point that they still refuse to let out gay people hold positions of power in the organisation. This is a callout for the whole group, not just the US. - Purple
you were in the US military once right? how believable would this be?
That’s exactly what you should expect from the average motivated American warfighter
I am convinced that the one (1) downside to abolishing the military is that it would cause a Library of Alexandria scale loss of Dumb Guy culture.
That’s like saying you don’t want to excise a malignant growth because it’ll hurt the cancer
Counterpoint: I want to study them like a bug under a microscope.
If you want to study the leviathan, study its corpse
Hon, I’m a novelist. Is McDonald’s an unlikely source of chicken mcnuggets?
Maybe not, but the alley behind a Waffle House is a weird place to find Aristotle.
But that’s exactly where you’d find Socrates and Diogenes
And they be fuckin’
It’s true
are we just ignoring leviathan
I’m never not thinking about Leviathan. This is a Thomas Hobbes hate blog.
Anyone in this thread smoke weed?
Every goddamn day
Favorite thing about this post is people with no context whatsoever are equally as excited as people who know
Never has this gif been more appropriate
A vegetable is a social construct.

Simone Biles saying “Mental health is more important than sports” on the biggest platform she could have possibly done it from is why she’s incredible, actually
Just wanna say I appreciate all the folks who know about gymnastics pointing out that the fact she landed at all, and isn’t paralyzed, maimed or dead, is a miracle, that her superior athleticism saved her, but You don’t have to be the greatest gymnast who ever lived to say “I’m sorry, but I can’t do this right now.”
You deserve to take care of yourself, that’s what self-care really is. It’s knowing your limits and saying so before you get hurt.
“Oh yeah… That’s… Batman…” “Batman’s real?” “Yeah, he’s… He’s over there.”
this sounds like a pair of stoners meeting

I simply cannot feel sorry for multi-millionaire Scarlett Johansson only earning $20 million instead of $30 million or what the fuck ever because Disney recognised that large parts of the world still can't safely go to the cinema on account of the deadly pandemic and released Black Widow on Disney+ at the same time as in theatres. But then I also support anyone suing Disney for any reason, so you see my dilemma
The case isn’t really about Scarlett Johansson. It’s about setting precedent for the way actors are paid when content is released on screening services going forward, and Scarlett Johansson is pretty unique in her position of both having a valid case for breach of contract and having a large enough platform, following and wealth that suing Disney won’t completely destroy her and her career.
She offered to renegotiate her contract at the point the decision to release on Disney+ was made, and Disney refused, that is what lead to the case.
The overwhelming majority of actors, even actor’s working for Disney are not millionaires, I know that because I am a jobbing actor, and I earn less in a year then either of my siblings, both of whom have office jobs.
When you get a film or television job, in addition to what you’re paid at the time you also get something that in the UK is called royalty fees, and in the US is called residuals. This occurs when the show or film is shown or licensed on another channel or network, almost always for a set period of time, although Netflix has started buying the rights to small indie films outright.
Royalty checks can be hilariously small. A friend I trained with once got one for £2.07 because their show had just been licensed to be shown on a Thai TV network, but more often they are a lifeline for actors. Most actors work minimum wage jobs in between acting gigs, and when you also have the cost of Headshots, Self Tape equipment, travel to auditions and lost wages whenever you have to take time off to prep and travel to auditions, you understand why equity wages are so high for individual jobs, because that one episode in a soap you got paid £800-£1200 for (minus 10-20% for your agent), could be your wage for 2 months and you would be considered a fairly successful working actor, even if it was your only acting job in that time period.
The case isn’t about a multimillionaire quibbling over how many millions she is being paid, although it’s likely that had Black Widow had a prepandemic release Scarlett Johansson would have been paid closer to 200 million than the 20 million she is being paid. Although Disney is pushing that angle hard so I fully understand why you’ve fallen into their propaganda trap. It is one of the very few opportunities for actors, screenwriters, cinematographers, directors, and all the other hundreds of creatives involved in the filmmaking process to challenge some of the status quo with streaming services and really ask questions about how royalties will work in the future.
There is a reason that the unions are backing the case and that’s because the other way around, breach of contract is a huge deal, there can be penalties of hundreds of thousands of dollars for contract breaches, often on jobs where you are paid a fraction of that, and believe me, Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Universal all persue those payments, and in certain circumstances even go out of their way to blacklist the artist.
If breach of contract is a big deal when actors and other creatives do it, it should be just as big a deal when studios do it, but it isn’t because Capitalism is rarely about rewarding artists and all about bottom line profit.
This case has the potential to really change things and help millions of ordinary, jobbing actors and creatives. I am 100% on Scarlett Johansson’s side with this and any reasonable person who cares about the well-being of artists should be too.
^^^^^^^^ this. this right here
It's also worth noting that Disney 100% did this because they knew they could probably get away with it and probably didn't expect anyone to fight them very hard if at all.
This is more of the same kind of shit they did to Alan Dean Foster, trying to find loopholes to breach contracts and avoid paying artists. If Disney could get a monopoly on art and never have to pay another artist, they would. It's important that the people fighting them get visibility and support, and you can absolutely do that without condoning literally anything else about ScarJo as a person, because what she's fighting is about far more than her own paycheck.
just a reminder that happiness doesn’t have an age limit!! that stuffed animal makes you happy? buy it! you like lego sets? build them!! I think it’s so stupid to perpetuate the idea that “growing up” means you have to let go of things that are “childish.” if it makes you happy then do it!!!!
I was legit terrified of becoming a functional adult because of this. Because the fun must stop to be one. But guess what: it doesn't have to if you don't want to! You're the adult in charge now!
with his flesh abroad, he wakes. on its return, he slumbers again.
the pain of departure pulls him from his dreams, his nightmares, his vast and unspeakable visions of beyond. god bless the back of the beast, for it is all that keeps us from his terrible awareness.
this is post is definitely part of something far darker than we will ever be able to comprehend
