Happy 10 Years of Ponyo Loves! 💕 🐟

just a reminder to COMPLETELY boycott Eurovision this year; Azerbaijan and Israel, despite committing genocide, are STILL allowed to compete & have NOT been banned. by refusing to ban both countries, Eurovision is profiting off of the genocide of Palestinians and Armenians.

do not listen to the artists. do not pirate or stream the artists' music, and this applies to ALL the artists who are competing and performing this year. do not listen to the songs on ANY platform, do not give them ANY attention.

write to your broadcasters and tell them you REFUSE to watch the channels until they recognise the Armenian and Palestinian genocides & that you find it disgusting how they are allowing Eurovision despite Azerbaijan and Israel's entries.

do NOT give eurovision OR the competing artists ANYTHING but silence.

boycott ALL of eurovision.

and now, some input from macklemore

but in all seriousness, respect to macklemore for this because holy shit

macklemore showing up as one of the biggest mainstream celebrity voices on this. remember everyone who stayed quiet

The elephant is making those chirps because they’re excited at the noise the drum makes. Some zoos give their elephants drums or horns to play with if they noticed they like making noise/“are musically inclined”. Shanthi of the Smithsonian Zoo became an internet sensation for her compositions on the harmonica:

Day 783 of reblogging videos of elephants.

Oh my goodness, the happy elephant chirps. I was dying from the level of cuteness.

I was gunna put this in the tags but it’s a lot. When i first started going through the process of getting a diagnosis, i was labelled with ODD. I immediately took issue with this, it seemed like an unfair diagnosis based entirely on the session the psychiatrist had with my parents (which mostly consisted of “my child is being really difficult on purpose”), and Hoo Boy when i tell you ODD immediately strips you of your ability to call out anyone on anything, that would be an understatement. I couldn’t even disagree or bring up my concerns about the validity of MY OWN DIAGNOSIS without it being labelled as oppositional defiance. Whenever i displayed any negative emotion the “treatments” did so much more harm than good. When you label someone as ‘defiant’ (ugh), when that word is put on their medical record, that person is never allowed to complain about anything again. Knowing that POC are disproportionately affected with this diagnosis makes me feel sick, i can only imagine what’s being swept under the rug as someone just being “defiant to authority”, not even just in the medical field but as justification for police brutality and mass incarceration. When i say medical racism kills people, this is what i mean.

this is so fucking important. reblog.

Big bro out on a run (งツ)ว

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

"how can jennifer lawrence play katniss everdeen and be pro-israel?" "how can mark hamill play luke skywalker and shrill for biden" i don't want to like dismiss the political importance of these movies, but like. i don't think these celebrities actually get their poltical beliefs from the kid movie's their in, like if the hunger games made you more politically aware that's wonderful but i truly do not think these actors give a shiiiiiiiit

like william shatner constantly complains about star trek "becoming political" and he was actually in it, i'm not sure why we have so much high expectations for these celebrities media literacy, cause it's not high

there's a long history of white liberals using "harry potter" to descibe to every real world issue only to discover rowling not only does not give a shiiiit about any of them but actively opposes most of them soooo

What the actual fuck

Boycott this goddamn song contest. Now. And forever.

THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING

2001 | dir. Peter Jackson

obsessed with what's happening on twitter rn

Yea, he belongs here

For context, @neil-gaiman has NOTHING to do with the new LOTR series

It’s been hilarious watching this unfold...  :)

I've never enjoyed being yelled at more.

Bringing this back from 2022. Unlike Neil Gaiman, who won't be bringing back LotR The Rings of Power.

Darn, those Harry Potter movies of his were such abominations, too. Don't even get me started about his novel Persuasion, nothing like Pride and Prejudice, I was terribly disappointed.

In retrospect perhaps Elon Musk should have come to me for advice on how to fail to buy Twitter. I would have told him to try harder.
