i always forget obama has a brother who really fucking hates him until he does stuff like this

i’m sorry but what was the alternative here, did you think Obama’s estranged older brother was reclaiming the f slur or something

I am once again explaining that in order for walkable cities and public transit to work for disabled people, there also need to be more public bathrooms available in and around those areas. Not just places to sit down or rest. Bathrooms. We need accessible, clean bathrooms. With sharps bins. With multiple wheelchair accessible stalls. With an area to set down supplies needed to maintain one’s body. Even if it’s not being used to get rid of bodily waste, bathrooms are one of the few spaces disabled people have to maintain some sort of privacy when they’re in the middle of a flare up or they need to take medication or what have you. Designing a public space? Include bathrooms.

why is this so funny

Literally heard a convo at the library where a guy was telling a girl that he’s an omega and the girl telling him that she’s a beta, and my mind just did not automatically connect the context to fraternity pledge classes at all and I just whispered to myself “what the fuck?? What the fuck??”

a comedy of errors

I have no idea what the story of this anime is, and it’s pretty obvious who the protag is, but I’m gonna add character to the girls to the left with no face

introducing these two background characters in this slice of life romantic comedy/drama - they love each other a lot, and the girl to the left is grumpy because her girlfriend to the right forgot to give her her good morning kiss.

taller girl on the right is oblivious because she was so excited when they got up because she’s treating her girlfriend to a surprise date at the amusement park that she forgot to give her a good morning kiss. they’ll have their first smooch of the day at the very top of the ferris wheel 💋

the guy to the right of the protag (with the glasses) is a simple office worker who loves his family very very much and cannot wait to get back home to his children

The guy on the far left is wanting to get home to make dinner. He lives alone, but he promised his kitten they would have some grilled fish as a treat! He loves her very much.

The tall one behind the two girls just got back from a job interview. He didn’t get the job but he’s confidant he’ll get the next one. He needs to provide for his son and two daughters after all.

Person to the left of the pink hair girl is a retired hit-man struggling to adjust to a normal life but hes recently found a woman that works at a cafe down the street from his new job and things seem to be going well.

the man on the far far right is anxious as it’s his and his boyfriend first date aniversary and that’s the longest he lasted in a relationship, he is confident that this one will last tho

This is so pure.

Everyone is the protagonist of their own story.

Everyone is the protagonist of their own story.

Can we have an anime series like this?  where every episode starts on the same group of people in the train car and we follow a different protagonist from that group each episode?

like, here’s the premise: each episode opens on an image like the one OP posted, with one person drawn as a typical anime protagonist while everyone else around them is in that faceless minimalist background style.  However, when the train stops, the camera follows one of the background characters out of the train. Over the course of the episode, we are shown a day in that character’s life, the people with whom they interact, the ups and downs they go through, etc, and as we learn more about them, their features gradually become more defined, until the episode ends with them fully drawn and all necessary details present.

Each episode focuses on a different background character, and the protagonist is never given the spotlight until the final episode, when it is revealed that they are just a cardboard cutout that one of the train’s occupants has been tasked with delivering

and there are subtle hints throughout the series that foreshadow this reveal; a figurine on a shelf in the foreground, a video on a screen in the background, a magazine cover, etc., but we don’t notice because our focus is on that episode’s character.

so it symbolically demonstrates how everyone is intimately familiar with this fictional character, hence their being drawn fully detailed from the beginning, but you have to take the time to get to know the actual people that you encounter on a daily basis, and that everyone truly is the protagonist of their own story.

can white people stop boo-hooing about how they lost their favorite vacation spot because of the fires on maui? it’s vile. people lost their lives and their homes. no one gives a shit that your colonizing ass can’t go somewhere you were never welcome anyway

This AND if you’ve ever visited/vacationed in Hawái it’s time to pay up. If y’all love Hawái so much, show it by donating. Oh, and never go back. That native land has been EXPLOITED by vacationers and capitalism. The government is spending money and resources in order to house and feed tourists/visitors OVER sending help to the native people who NEED IT. Stop going to Hawái. It’s not your land.

Just wanted to add on to this a concrete example: a couple years ago the Hawaiian government implemented water rationing FOR LOCALS ONLY, while continuing to allow tourists to use as much water as they wanted for fancy hotels, spas, pools, and GOLF COURSES. This is obviously the exact opposite of how water shortages should be addressed. I don't even think many of the tourists had any idea that the water they used on vacation was literally being taken from the homes of indigenous people: many tourists think they are helping local economies. I would LOVE to visit Hawaii and see amazing Polynesian biomes and active volcanoes without a passport, but I have resigned myself to the fact that there is currently no ethical way for me to do so. Visiting Hawaii would take needed resources from the people who live there, and the tourism industrial complex would actively lie to me about it if I tried to travel there in an ethical or sustainable manner. The US has really plundered those amazing islands and done so much harm to them in so many ways. Native Hawaiians are begging tourists to stay away. So please take their demands seriously and enjoy Hawaii's amazing natural wonders through video instead of in person.

If you've ever wondered why people in Hawai'i hate tourists, try to wrap your mind around the fact that there are CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, tourists sipping martinis and looking at fish within swimming range of the fresh corpses of local people who couldn't escape the overnight destruction of their entire town.

Try to comprehend that there are fully functional, high capacity boats passing through the waters in front of an area full of survivors who are stranded and in need of supplies, refusing to help. They are hosting snorkeling tours.

Really think about, try your best to actually picture over two thousand people unhoused and in need of shelter, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and nothing to return to. Understand that the island, stolen land, is littered with hotels full of air conditioned of rooms with beds and showers and toilets, each fully equipped to host hundreds of families for weeks, turning these people away because they're booked up with tourists who refuse to leave.

And understand that these tourists were offered free transport to return home or be hosted on other islands. Free. Courtesy of local tax dollars. 4,000 wealthy tourists were offered free flights shelter on Oahu and begged to leave the island, BEFORE the survivors were given shelter.

And enough still insisted on remaining and carrying out their vacations that people are left without shelter and resources while they enjoy "their stay in paradise".

In case this gains any traction, I NEED people to understand that this is not an invitation for mainlanders to get on a soapbox and start telling each other whether or not or how to visit Hawai'i. The tourism situation is complex and difficult and you don't get it if you haven't lived through it at minimum wage. You don't fully understand the complexities and you will not. And you are liable to do more harm by trying to dictate rules and ethics of visiting the islands to each other.

If you want to help, listen to local people. Seek out and boost what they're saying. Send each other local sources of information. Research from local sources. DO NOT take this crisis as an opportunity to insert your views and speak for us.

And do NOT pull the "but they make money on tourism!!!1!" card. They don't. The corporations that have taken over Hawai'i do. Your money is not going to the locals when you stay in some fancy resort or go on the fancy snorkeling trips or whatever else.

If I read something on the asks that feels genuinely threatening or dangerous, or that's actually abusive, I just delete it and block the person.

If I'm answering an ask here you can assume that as far as I'm concerned even if it's apparently threatening or angry, it's meant humorously or with love.

It's never appropriate to dogpile people. Never appropriate to threaten or abuse them, even if you think you are doing it for me and with the best of intentions. Don't.

If you are upset on my behalf, or on behalf of all Tumblr users, just think "this is probably a tone-deaf attempt at humour" and let it go.

Reblogging because I'm seeing people upset or offended on my behalf. To repeat, If I'm answering an ask here you can assume that as far as I'm concerned even if it's apparently threatening or angry, it's meant humorously or with love.

If I think something is actually unpleasant or bad, I'll just block them.

Don't dogpile on my behalf. I don't want you to, I think it's actively a bad idea, and it's bullying. (Remember: it can still be bullying when more than one of you turn up, even when you think you're in the right or the aggrieved party.)

Play nice, never attribute to malice what can easily be attributed to internet-caused text-based tone-deafness or misinterpretation, and everyone will have an easier time.

OP, this is a genuinely genius method of tricking the human brain into beginning to understand the sort of scale that this looks like.

rolls over in bed. vampirism as a condition of craving blood, not unlike an addictive craving--it can be resisted, and as long as you resist you just look like a mostly normal human. but the more blood you drink, more often, the stronger your powers become (compulsion, flight, etc.) AND the more intense your weaknesses (garlic, holy water, etc.) become. you can quit again after that in theory, but it's obviously a lot harder. yes I rewatched midnight mass recently. rolls back over and goes to sleep.

While this initially looks like a rather convincing and horrifying photo of horses that got stuck in an ice field, it’s actually a still from the film My Winnipeg.
