I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn’t quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. In the spirit of their own long-held stance:
oh so when a so-called "ARCHAEOLOGIST" goes around robbing graves and taking their contents back to their so-cakkklled "MUSEUMS" it's all fine and dandy, but WHEN I, YOUR LOCAL, SMALL-TIME NECROMANCER-
Bro if I die you can raid my tomb
thank you so much! you wouldn't have any issue with being RAISED IN UNHOLY SERVITUDE TO THE WORLD'S SOON-TO-BE TYRANT, now, would you?
Nah bro you're cool

In the town where I grew up, there was a large statue in one of the parks, of a famous historical white colonizer. I'm not going to say who specifically, suffice it to say that it was someone who wasn't worth memorializing for their deeds. And as you can imagine, this statue was a frequent target of vandalism, with paint or toilet paper or eggs on multiple occasions. Now, the local council was generally pretty lax when it came to repairing potholes or other public damage in the town, but every time, 24 hours after this particular statue was hit, the same person would always appear in a Hi-Vis vest, hat, mask and sunglasses, carrying a bucket of water, and wash it clean. They would do it as quickly as possible, but always made sure the face and the name carved at the bottom were generously scrubbed. This only encouraged people to do it again, and so it became a vicious cycle.
Within a year, the statue had sustained so much damage that it was unrecognizable and the lettering unreadable, so eventually the council came and took it down. Also apparently, the person in the Hi-Vis vest didn't even work for the council. They were supposedly just some 'good samaritan' who cleaned it, often before the council even discovered it needed cleaning, so they just let them do it and ignored the problem. They didn't bother putting the statue up again.
Much later, we found out that the anonymous 'samaritan' had been deliberately washing the statue with a bucket of saltwater, which had dramatically corroded it, causing irreversible accumulative damage far worse than spray paint ever would have done. It's even theorized that they were also often the one spray-painting it, just so that they had an excuse to come back after a day to wash it.
A good samaritan indeed
epic that anxiety is not confined to the brain and just poisons every inch of the body. stomach. chest. neck. shoulders. everywhere else. really really cool
Sometimes twitter be hitting
This is even funnier with context attached
Actually we genuinely need to treat minors with kindness. The fact that so many people will just harass children on the internet is a huge fucking problem. You can’t bully a minor because “they’re not mature enough” because if they’re not mature enough then just leave them alone.
Also yes minors 13 and over deserve to be on the internet because you have no clue what they could possibly be going through. A lot of queer people on the internet grew up with queerphobic families and the internet was the only place where they could have resources to survive. You also don’t know if any minors are currently living with an abusive family, or if they’re bullied in real life, or literally anything else of the sort.
Just for fucking once just stay in your fucking lane. If in your perspective a minor has “invaded adult spaces” then just block them. If you saw a teenager in a bar, would you calmly escort them out, or would you scream and them and yell “this is why minors shouldn’t be outside” ?
The internet has normalized being aggressive towards children. Just live by “pick on someone your own size.” If you’re an adult, then act like one and be the bigger person. Minors deserve their own spaces and it’s your right to let them live in peace.
been seeing a lot of this lately and all i gotta say is what the fuck
also blank template because i put entirely too much effort into blending that fucking gull in nicely for it to be a one-off meme
Ooh! I got one:
yeah reblog this version yall
Did I do it right?
im not a people pleaser anymore im a huge cunt now
me after setting one (1) boundary
the weight that ao3 puts on their unpaid volunteers is disgusting. not that i expect ao3 users to have any semblance of morals or ethics but how do you donate hundreds of dollars to some fanfic website to then post about how brave the UNPAID volunteers are and how much work they have to do. outside of endless hours of tag-wrangling and shit, they're working to keep a really-not-well-oiled machine running while said machine racks in nearly $300k a year.
and the fact that after all this, you losers are going to be inclined to donate even MORE money, which will DEFINITELY not be going to those volunteers y'all respect so much... you guys are pathetic.
GENUINELY and don’t even start with “but they’re a nonprofit so-“
LISTEN. SALARIES ARE A BUSINESS EXPENSE. SALARIES ARE NOT CONSIDERED PROFIT. ITS LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF PROFIT ITS AN EXPENSE. ITS A COST.
YOU CAN STILL PAY YOUR FUCKING WORKERS AND BE A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.
WHEN THEY ARE MAKING THAT MUCH MONEY OVER THEIR GOAL EVERY YEAR THAT MONEY NEEDS TO GO TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PUT IN LABOR FOR THEM.
“but they stock it for fighting against stuff like copyright law and the servers and the DDOS attack-“
THAT MONEY SHOULD ALREADY BE FACTORED DIRECTLY INTO THEIR GOAL AMOUNT. THATS HOW GOALS WORK. THE GOAL IS “X AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE NEED TO REMAIN SAFELY OPERATIONAL”
THERES NO REASON ANYMORE TO STILL BE USING UNPAID LABOR. Especially with how much time these people are working.
What’s that one post about “stop glorifying stories about how tough teachers are for dealing with so much and being paid so little as victories, and start recognizing them as TRAGEDIES and calls to action to get them paid more?”
Yeah. That’s what I’ve been seeing SO MUCH OF since this DDOS attack. “Everyone support the volunteers!!! They’ve been so strong working 24 hours to try and fix this for us!!!”
SO!!!!! PAY THEM!!!!
"They're a nonprofit"
They have $1.7 Million in profit. If they're not actually using it (and they aren't) they're not a nonprofit. They're a fucking rentseeker.
hello beloveds ☺️
made an alternate version for the mutuals ive never spoken to
You are appreciated

don’t forget during the WGA strike that animation is not covered under the WGA deals and as a result animation has gotten the shortest possible end of the stick in under-staffing, under-paying, and generally turning the field into gig employment.
please sign the petition here for Disney to recognize animation production workers as a union and reblog this post!
Wow that was FAST. Check out this YouTube ad I just got trying to hire scabs immediately.
The fact that they're advertising it as hourly pay is so telling that they're hoping to just hire random people off the street. They're trying to prey on desperate actors who don't know that $180/hr for a fucking GODZILLA movie is the hugest rip off anyone could possibly pull. No rights, royalties or residuals but hey at least you'll get paid fucking nothing!
Godzilla vs king Kong 2 is a Toho co and Warner Bros production btw. Just so you know what corporations are sanctioning this pathetic shit
Stock up on podcasts, movies you meant to watch, shows you missed; be ready and okay to not have new content for awhile, the strikes will delay your shows, movies you’re hoping for and more - I don’t want complaints aimed at anyone but the companies and execs that aren’t paying their artists!!
if you behave like this on tumblr i'm killing you with rocks
also have this
Is there one of these for non horny art?
yeah here
Police supporters regularly admit that the police are the bad guys. They just don't care.
"writers deserve attention more than actors" literally only 2% of actors can pay the bills with acting. For every megastar on screen there are a dozen other people in the shot who are SAG. Acting gets so glamorized but there are SO MANY people in SAG who NEED residuals to live on. Background Party Girl #4 needs her check too!!!! There are people who play recurring characters on syndicated shows who cant afford health insurance!!! Ke Huy Quan gave an oscar winning performance and LOST HIS HEALTH INSURANCE the next year.
also interesting how when it was just the writers on strike it was "ugh why do they even need more pay they're all rich anyways" and now that the actors have joined the strike it's "well the writers deserve more attention cause actors are all rich anyways." wonder who it benefits to constantly be portraying striking workers as greedy whiners & pitting them against each other.
