"it's about the sensations" Just moved to NYC #protectyouredges2018

This is what I’m here for. Not only do we need men supporting women who come out about sexual abuse but we really need men supporting other men when they come forward about these stories. Like not only am I happy that Brendan came forward but I’m so proud of Terry for voicing his support of Brendan. This is huge.

Brendan Fraser was sexually assaulted!? What the fuck!

Back in 2003 he got sexually assaulted by the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.  This was during the year “Looney Tunes: Back in Action” came out just to ruin that movie for everyone but nobody would listen to him.

Yeah. Brendan deserves much better

It actually almost derailed his career, the effects were so devastating for him. Terry is the first celebrity I’ve seen even acknowledge or support him since he started telling his story, and really some of the only support I’ve seen in general. The fact that people still don’t know about Fraser’s story even now (he came out with it during the height of the me too movement last fall) shows that it was largely ignored/swept under because of his position as a victim, at least in the eyes of society and larger news publications.

In a simple experiment, researchers at the University of Chicago sought to find out whether a rat would release a fellow rat from an unpleasantly restrictive cage if it could. The answer was yes.
The free rat, occasionally hearing distress calls from its compatriot, learned to open the cage and did so with greater efficiency over time. It would release the other animal even if there wasn’t the payoff of a reunion with it. Astonishingly, if given access to a small hoard of chocolate chips, the free rat would usually save at least one treat for the captive — which is a lot to expect of a rat.
The researchers came to the unavoidable conclusion that what they were seeing was empathy — and apparently selfless behavior driven by that mental state.

OH MY.

this just in: rats are more humane than humans

I can’t ask a client if her husband rapes her because she’ll say no. 

Instead I ask her if he has ever forced her to have sex or she ever feels like she can’t say no. 

And she’ll say: 

“Well sometimes he…”

That’s how fucking normalized marital rape is in this culture. 

This reminds me of that study that asked college men if they would force a woman to have sex  and 1 out of 3 responded that they would. When the word “rape” was used however, the number dropped significantly.

any spanish speaker: cojer

méxico and argentina:

méxico: cuantos años tiene? (how old is he?)

argentina: ni idea, pero es un pendejo (idk, but he is a pendejo)

méxico:

(pendejo in mex = insult. pendejo in arg= young boy)

méxico: wait a sec, i’m gonna eat a concha.

argentina:

(concha in mex = a type of bread. concha in arg = pussy)

spanish woman: hi, my name is concha

argentina: 

(concha in spain = seashell and a female name. concha in arg = pussy)

mex: i love cajeta, it’s so sweet!

arg:

(cajeta in mex = dulce de leche [caramel]; cajeta in arg = pussy) 

spanish speaker: h-

argentina: thats pussy, babe!!

Don’t get us started on “straw”

YOOOOOOOOO

i still can’t believe that the incredibles is likely set in the 1960s

the entire film is designed with classic 50s-60s art styles, a lot of the interior design of the parr household is in 60s style, fashion is generally reminiscent of the 60s, in the beginning of the film all the photographs and video are grainy and shot in 60s style, the technology in bob’s office is very dated, when edna is going on her “no capes” rant she cites superheroes who died from cape designs and says their deaths were in the 50s, all the cars in the film have 60s models, any advanced tech we really see is seemingly kept secret from the general public, here’s a newspaper from the film:

may 16th, 1962

Holy fuck
