Dream On

You’ve got to understand that this was 2014. I’ve seen some younger lesbian, bi, and queer folks today going, “So what? They held hands. They didn’t even kiss.” Or people watching it for the first time, saying, “I don’t see what the big deal is. There wasn’t any build-up!” 

But the landscape of children’s TV was very different six years ago. Like, that moment when they looked into each other’s eyes in a beam of golden light was revolutionary. I was living in a house with other queer people and we ALL screamed and cried, just like this.

Korrasami paved the way for Steven Universe and She-Ra to do what they did in the following years. And, yes, those were leaps forward whereas this was a step. But I saw it on another post, and I’ll echo the sentiment: Korrasami walked so Catradora could sprint.

The original tweet is in response to a tweet about Ellen Maud who sought out medical help and was routinely told to just lose weight. She later died of cancer.

This is something I cannot advocate for enough

reblogging for the art

Well that.is awesome.

every western movie ever made: The wild west is dying. theres no more room left for cowboys anymore…

me everytime: :(

every samurai movie ever made (both edo and bakamatsu periods): The bushido code is dying. there no more room left for samurai anymore…

me everytime: :(

A lot of westerns are remakes of samurai movies

those samurai movies were very often heavily inspired by 50′s and 40′s westerns

Cowboys and samurai are brothers separated by time and space.

Best duo.

I’ve got y’alls new favorite art piece right here.

According to Google, Samurai were abolished in 1868.

This means that at the same time that cowboys were reaching their end, so too were samurai.

Cowboys and Samurai were separated not by time, only space.

I’ve got something else to add to this: there’s also an extremely specific species of mushroom that can only be found in Texas and Japan. I’m serious.

The most ambitious crossover

I never want to hear republican’s say they support our troops again

for context the captain of an aircraft carrier requested aide for his ship as his crew was being stricken with covid-19 and the trump admin’s response was to relieve him of duty and then have the acting sec of the navy insult and belittle him to the crew while basically telling the crew their lives don’t matter

in the leaked audio of the latter, one of the crew members summed it up succinctly with a very loud ‘what the fuck?’

Have any of you heard of the Harvard MIT Pigeon Prank?

Death to Fascism 

“If fascism could be defeated in debate, I assure you that it would never have happened, neither in Germany, nor in Italy, nor anywhere else.” – Frank Frison, Holocaust survivor

Sound advice from one of the members of the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion - Canadian antifa volunteers that fought against the fascists in the Spanish Civil War. 

“Yes, being in a female dominated field, I do know what it means to be marginalized. “

oh

my

god

omg

oh my fucking god

The really ugly part is they’ve actually done multiple sociological studies on this, and guess what the result is? Men in female-dominated fields aren’t marginalized at all; they get special treatment and are fast-tracked to the top, getting more credit for their work, faster promotions, and greater pay and benefits than their female colleagues.

Here’s one study. Here’s another. And another.

^phenomenon known as the glass escalator

have you ever been around male nurses….mannnn

Men in female dominated fields are entitled as hell. Don’t get it twisted

teaching is a female-dominated field but most principals are male

librarianship is a female-dominated field but most directors are male

Cooking is female dominated but most chefs are males

a large percent of hair stylists are women,  but most major hair care brands are owned by men

Clones and......

GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.

So the 501st helps out a civilian transport caught in the middle of some random skirmish on a mid rim world, and there happens to be a troop of “ galaxy girls” on board. They are so grateful to be saved that they rush up to the clones and thank them asking to take pictures and basically give away their whole pallette of cookies they were bringing to sell on chandrilla and a wonderful working relationship is formed.

Well, the clones learn the joy of galaxy girl cookies (having a canon sweet tooth ) and they become highly sought after additions to rations. AND because of the selfless action of a few clones the entire GAR has privilege to request galaxy girl cookies on any world where they are present ❤️

They offer a special edition cookie where 100% of proceeds go to the GAR as a special thank you to their heroes! As well as a postcard program where little kids send them thank you drawings and sweet little letters.

thousands, if not millions, of Galaxy Girls find out the Clones are considered Ordinance, not people Palpatine and the Senate won't know what hit them when the Galaxy Girls are through with them (except Padme, who was Galaxy Girl, of course)

Something to know about Facebook’s new “screening tool,” and advice/info that can most certainly be used outside of this specific situation.

For spoonies, the biggest deal is how this data, if leaked, could affect you in professional and insurance spheres.

Here’s Emily’s full thread, which discusses the details of the tool, and here’s Isobelle’s full thread, which extrapolates on specific dangers.

In the end? It’s another data grab. Data is worth money; don’t give yours away, especially not to Facebook.

Yeah, please don’t use this thing.  When you let companies have your personal information, they will use it against you.  You might not realize it until years later, when you get a big medical bill and insurance refuses to cover it because you once told Facebook you might have ADHD (or something) and that counts as a pre-existing condition.  

Yeah DONT DO THIS.

okay thats one heavyass borderline spell of a song where the hell is it from?

@brunhiddensmusings​  It’s from Warframe!

The people singing in the video are wage slaves to a system-wide corporation, but they are getting their freedom back through the use of Collective Bargaining, Industrial Sabotage, and some help from the players when they need to send a more forceful message.

do u ever realise that you’re gonna be an adult for the rest of your life
