I worked very hard on this
hey uh what exactly is possessing you people to reblog a nearly 10 year old shrek meme that I made in high school
Your hard work isn’t going unnoticed
a warning to other native folks who may be interested in the barbie movie
there is a scene in which the patriarchys effect on the barbies is directly compared to the effect of smallpox on indigenous peoples. if this makes you uncomfortable as it did me do not feel obligated to watch it. a lot of white people are pressuring native people to watch and see for themselves if it makes them uncomfortable. do not feel that you have to if you think it will negatively impact you. we know what hurts us.
and please note i am not attacking the movie or calling the writers terrible, i am not commanding you dont see the movie. this is a warning post for NATIVE FOLKS who are fully capable of making their own decisions.
we are in a media literacy crisis
friendly reminder that characters don't need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.
IDK if this was meant as hyperbole but it's literally true:
We are genuinely in a crisis of media literacy, with ever fewer genuinely factual resources available in the style and language used by contemporary audiences.
It may sound condescending, but we genuinely need to remind people, or worse, explain to them for the first time that art is not evidence of real world behaviour.
So, thank you, for this reminder. Genuinely.
You're correct:
Art does not need to feature exclusively morally pure characters. Art is not proof of the creator's secret, violent desires.

op this is good commentary but I’m mostly just captivated by how you drew the kid as a teeny little grub with a propeller hat

- Stolen Focus by Johann Hari
- Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport
- So you've been publicly shamed by Jon Ronson
I only have social media on 1 device, and I'm much happier for it.
Finally: Crypto is an MLM, the metaverse isn't the future, Mars will be worse than earth, cities should be designed around people not cars, human art is always more interesting than AI content, giant 3 tonne electric SUV's won't solve climate change, and you should eat ya veggies”.

If you work a tipped job literally make up a silly name for yourself and people will think you’re so much more charismatic and personable for the exact same service. People are soo much nicer and tip me better when I say my names Melon. They fucking love it all I gotta say is yup that’s my real name. my parents are huge hippies. I know fucking insane right. Fucking stupid. With a straight face and especially the old people they have to fan themselves they get so excited
y’all will reblog “men’s tits” posts all day long when in actuality u are very fucking weird to men who have tits and men who need access to gynecological healthcare.
like y’all will meme-ify our bodies for internet points then two seconds later will make a post abt how trans men needing to go to the fucking gyno is somehow “invading women’s spaces” or “weaponizing their agab” or “bioessentialism” like bitch i’m just trying to get a pap smear and get out without having a panic attack. shut the fuck up.
and the most fucked up part is it’s usually other ppl who need access to gynecological healthcare. y’all are not saving trans women from the scary men by *checks notes* dunking on a trans guy for making sure he doesn’t get cervical cancer.
can you believe this post, which is a submission to this blog, a dream submission blog, making this a dream submission, aka somebody's dream, has been flagged as needing a community label?????????????? by tumblr?????????? for mentioning the word c*nd*m?????????????? when c*nd*ms are something that should not be stigmatized, it's not a dirty word and it's something that makes people safer? not to mention that it was a literal dream someone had? is Tumblr okay? do I have to start censoring the word c*nd*m now?
In response to Slate's article on the possibility having non-heteromative team in figure skating (particularly, ice dance and pairs), Oniceperspective shared a glimpse of Gabriella Papadakis (FRA) and Madison Hubbell (USA) working on their same-sex program. You can see how they switch the leading figure between them.
Here is the link to Oniceperspective's post. There are four other videos I can't put on this post. Please like, comment, and share. More engagements will show ISU that this kind of team has a lot of audience:
