i’m going to take a moment to deviate from my usual posts, so bear with me: the actress starring in the 2020 Mulan remake, Liu Yifei, has just voiced her support for the Hong Kong police. these are the police who have been brutalizing protestors for several months now with batons, tear gas, and rubber bullets, and recently blinded a young medic in one eye. Liu has a social media platform of 65 million followers, and has been in the national spotlight since her casting - her words have influence and impact. her conscious decision to stand by the HK police sends a clear message: that violence against civilians is acceptable as a means of control, intimidation, and suppression.

this breaks my heart. as a person of Chinese descent, Mulan’s character was a source of inspiration and empowerment throughout my childhood, and I’m sure I wasn’t alone in my excitement to see the remake, but I’m even more saddened and disgusted by Liu Yifei’s support of the police. note that Liu is a naturalized American citizen, and reaps the benefits of freedom and democracy in the US while supporting those who are fighting to silence it in China.

if Mulan were real and here now, she would be out on the streets of Hong Kong, fighting for the fundamental rights of 7 million Hong Kong citizens. please, please, please consider boycotting this movie. skip it, pirate it, do what you need to do, but show that you won’t stand for police brutality.

I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im making a post. 

So lets say you’re researching something for a paper (or just for fun) and the research paper you want to read is behind a paywall, or the site makes you create an account first, or makes you pay to download, or limits you to only 5 free articles, or otherwise makes it difficult for you to read what you want.

Death Cleric: I cast toll the dead.

DM: Yeah, he fails the wisdom save. What’s the damage

Death Cleric: /rolls a 12 with a d12

DM: …okay, so you guys just see this rift filled with chaotic darkness open below the duergar and two giant skeleton hands rise up, grabbing onto each side of him and ripping him apart and letting the pieces fall into the rift. The hands withdraw and an eerie silence is left.

Rogue (ooc): Hello, customer support? I’d like to file a complaint. You sent us a necromancer instead of a cleric.

#even if this isnt 100% accurate people in the notes dont seem to realize translating was done by a human with human intentions and morals#the reason why i dont take the Bible for gospel is because we have no idea what the original text was meant to say#every single translation has been chosen by someone to fit their narrative#i dont put tons of weight on a thousand plus year old book and thousand plus year old rules (via @markwatnae)

Literally though, why would you hide this in the tags, it’s absolutely a brilliant take and what people should do.

I was curious to know if this wasn’t just a Tweet making basesless claims, but apparently an openly gay Christian by the name of Ed Oxford has been researching this issue for years. Here’s some interesting bits from an article [link] about this tweet. 

TL;DR: The word “homosexual” wasn’t added to the Bible until the RVS translation in the 1983, which was funded by Americans. Older translations in other languages such as German specifically use the word “knabenschander” which directly translates to “boy molester.” 

And yes, there’s pics:

3 years ago MIT grad student Katie Bouman led the creation of a new algorithm to produce the first-ever image of a black hole. 

Today (first time ever) that image of a black hole was released. It is larger than the size of our entire solar system

Image taken using the Event Horizon Telescope 

here’s a clearer zoomed-out picture of the black hole and also everything it’s consuming!! that tiny black spec is 6.5 billion times the size of our sun. it is MASSIVE.

tag yourself. for context, this is how @cosmophant‘s little sister views sonic characters.
