Happy Labor Day. Today I learned about probably the first strike to happen IN SPACE.
“We would never work 16 hours a day for 84 straight days on the ground, and we should not be expected to do it here in space.“
It’s really a shame that we’re going to have to do this again when the billionaires decide they need space slaves.

look. don’t get me wrong. i like sebastian, i think he’s a talented actor and a great dude and he has wonderful chemistry with anthony. he definitely made me love bucky, and he stars in the devil all the time (one of my favourite movies ever) and all that. that being said, this picture:
combined with the caption “find your zen, fuckerzzz” is a blatant mockery of eastern religion and culture. he did NOT need to post a picture of him making an exaggerated expression towards an idol of buddha, and he did NOT need to couple it with that caption. above that, he didn’t even need to post this in the first place.
you can love and stan sebastian all you want, but that includes calling him out on the weird white bullshit he pulls. this is not a good look! it’s another western white guy, no matter how famous or attractive or kind, making light of a religious symbol native to the east.
westerners (and a lot of easterners who grew up in the west/on western media) have become so desensitised to people mocking eastern culture that most of the comments on his instagram post were supportive of him or laughing with him about this picture+caption. i myself admit that i didn’t realise how wrong this is until i thought long and hard about it. we’ve gotten so used to buddhism being turned into this lighthearted aesthetic rather than a religion that people don’t actually see what’s wrong with this.
now, since i know i’m gonna catch flack for this, i will say that i’m aware that tommy lee, the person sebastian is playing, is/was a man of buddhist faith. does this change the context of this picture? somewhat, it lends context to why he’s posing in the first place. does this change the intention behind it? no, because this was 100% meant to be joking (as i don’t believe sebastian would be the kind of guy to be malicious towards buddhists and blatantly mocking of them). does this change the fact that it’s still a disgusting mockery of buddhism? not one bit, this here is another white man making light of an eastern culture’s religion. it’s a perpetration of white ignorance.
does this mean you should stop stanning or liking sebastian? not at all! i simply believe that fans need to hold him accountable for things like these. as a POC, i’m tired of educating white people on basic shit, but i believe he didn’t have bad intentions behind this post, which changes how i feel about the situation a bit. we just need to hold our faves accountable for the shit they do.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS. It is such blatant disrespect, honestly. And might I remind you of THIS photo:
She got away with this, and it so fucking shameful. Say what you want, the whole shtick of Rihanna being "idgaf about the world/i'm so mysterious and distant" is annoying now. She's not edgy, or cool, just plain disrespectful and RUDE.
Same goes for this. As nice as Sebastian seems to be, this is highly ignorant of people's religion, ESPECIALLY Eastern religions and faiths. Hate to put it like this, but if this was some other religion, there would have been a shitstorm of tweets in support.
God forbid we say anything, tho. We are told to "lighten up", and "not take it so seriously". Do better, ffs.
someone add gentle coyote to this
i found him
sometimes all you need is a little perspective :) #EthicalMemes
It’s gonna be OK, don’t worry. #EthicalMemes
No one talks about it but i think pewdiepie was pretty racist to indian people during that tseries thing
Kids in my class would start talking about it and id immediately get anxious because…im part indian. they would mock us. I had to force myself to be okay with it because idk, i didnt see anyone saying it was bad so im just being sensitive right
But then he in his song he said things like “your language sounds like mumble rap” and people were just okay with it
Just when you criticize pdp remember to hold him accountable for this too, i really dont want to see yall letting this shit slide bc it was genuinely awful for me during that time
Hey actually rb this…

I didn’t care about this race of pewdiepie and T-Series honestly, T-Series suck. Whatever happened there I don’t give a fuck but pewdiepie?? Is very very racist?? I couldn’t hear the song since it’s banned here and I get it now, it’s not about T-Series he’s attacking us all, like holy shit people let this pass off as fun? Am I the only one who’s feeling sick reading this? I didn’t like that guy but I hate him now. And people who still defend him as “he makes fun of everyone, y'all are just sensitive or it was all fun” no it’s not, attacking someone’s language and culture (which is already seen as backwards or bad) and making hurtful stereotypical jokes is not fun. It’s racism you just don’t wanna accept it
never liked the guy or saw the deal with him but c’mon dude. this is terribly fucked up. does this not pass the merits for ya’ll to be advocating against?
this is no joke. i looked around the reviews of several different candles just in case it could’ve been a single bad batch but nope.
these screenshots are only from like 4 or 5 different candles but i could’ve grabbed plenty more.
y’all, seriously, loss of smell is a possible effect of covid. if things don’t smell/taste as strong as you remember GET TESTED and ISOLATE. if someone you know is complaining about their candles not having a scent, inform them and encourage them to get tested. and wear a fucking mask, y’all.
What a fuckin metric to see the disease!
Losing your sense of taste and smell isn’t just a possible effect. It’s very common and it may be a cardinal symptom (meaning it can be used in making a diagnosis). For a lot of people, it may be the only symptom. Worse, it’s a long term condition which can last for months, even after you recover from the virus. Doctors worry that some people may never fully recover their sense of smell.
A friend of mine was telling me a few days ago, how her boyfriend has barely been able to taste or smell anything since April. And honestly, that’s horrifying. No one knows exactly why the virus does this, but being unable to taste or smell anything can cause depression.
It’s a cliché on Tumblr to say “not enough people are talking about this” but, seriously, not enough people are talking about this. That social gathering you want to go to is not worth being unable to taste or smell properly until next summer.
