I’m tired of women’s moral ambiguity being interpreted as evil and men’s evil being interpreted as moral ambiguity.

guys this is actually real like a real person wrote this

“more than enough” oh you fucking saints, absolutely pouring wealth onto the unfortunates

lol this is amazing

Dear Prudie,

I think I just witnessed a murder

You fucking monster

GET HER PRUDENCE

No wonder why her name is PRUDENCE

Time for the annual reblog!

Reading an advice columnist absolutely eviscerating someone who obviously wrote in hoping to get their shitty attitude validated is always a delight.

This sounds like something my grandmother would write. She’s a Baby Boomer and well-off person, not a millionaire or anythting but she and my grandpa definitely could have paid for my college out of pocket without going broke but of course they didn’t because back in their day college was cheap enough to pay for with a part-time job.

I think a lot of people who were either born into money or have had money a long time just lose touch with how shitty it is for people who don’t have a lot. At the end of the day, trick-or-treating is about the kids having fun and getting some candy. Can you really blame people who come to wealthier areas from less wealthy neighborhoods? Wealthy areas usually have better lighting and are a generally safer environment. Kids deserve a safe and fun time trick-or-treating. Suck it up and give them some candy.

every now and then tumblr reminds me that my dad asked for a furry pic for his 57th birthday

might as well tell the story behind that

so, my dad’s birthday is coming up, and since he doesn’t text, ever (he’s luddite that way), i text my mom: “hey, can you ask dad would like for his birthday?”

her response is “well he really likes your animals, why don’t you draw (our real-life dog) in that style?”

now bear in mind my mom doesn’t get what i do, or my dad for that matter, so i figure that she doesn’t understand the ramifications of that suggestion. she doesn’t quite see how slapping two hands and a pair of breasts on our real-life dog would be fucking weird. but note also that it was a suggestion that she came up with, not him, so i reply:

“can you just ask him yourself”

she responds “i was just giving you an idea, why don’t you ask him”

“he never texts”

“i will tell him to text you”

and that brings us to

so the lesson is, my mom knows my dad’s tastes much better than i do

i for one wholeheartedly support OP’s dad’s star fox OC

can we not mock bi girls for liking men as if any part of their sexuality is shameful in the year of our lord 2019

anyone else think bi ppl should pick a side

anyone else think misogyny is bad and respecting women is important

As a lesbian, I try to stay clear of bi women. Mostly because idk. It feels wrong to put love on a spectrum. It can almost be misleading to be honest. I’ve been rejected by bi women because idk they really weren’t that into women or because they lean towards men more. I think we should make terms for people who lean more towards one side so no one is misled. Anyway, what do I know. I’ll probably get yelled at for saying all that but whatever.

Someone not being into you doesn’t mean they’re not into women…….

This is the gay equivalent to straight people who think that whoever rejected them must be secretly gay.

due to personal reasons i will be walking into a bog until i’m knee-deep in freezing water as fog gently swirls around me and i become the forest guardian spirit i was born to become

I say this without a shred of irony:

pageant moms are abusive monsters.

This photo means a lot to me. And I’ll tell you why. 

Natalie Portman, as we know, was shut out of Marvel. She chose not to sign any new contract not just because of the way her character was treated (though there is that) but because Thor: The Dark World was slated to be the first Marvel movie directed by a woman, her friend (and eventual Wonder Woman director) Patty Jenkins. Portman hadn’t planned on being in The Dark World, but lept at the chance to be a part of feminist history and to be directed in what would have beenJenkin’s first film since her 2003 Oscar-winning Monster. Portman signed a new contract with Marvel. They fired Jenkins soon after. Portman was crushed because she essentially had been duped into a contract for a film that would keep her away from her young son and force her back into a one-dimensional role under yet another male director. And we all remember how awful that movie was. 

When it came time for the third Thor movie, they tried to get Portman under contract again. And she said no. Marvel decided to spin the story to make it seem like it was all their idea. At first, they went for the lame and nonsensical: 

When Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was asked about why she wouldn’t be in the third film, and said there were “many reasons, many of which are in the film, so you will see that” continuing with “There are only a couple of scenes on Earth in this movie. The majority, 95 percent of the movie, takes place in the cosmos.” (x)

Seeing as The Dark World also took place in space, this answer didn’t have a lot of credibility. When Portman said she was “done” with the Marvel Universe, Feige got vicious in interviews, telling reporters that Valkyrie was in Ragnorak to be better than Jane Foster and a better match for Thor. 

“We wanted Thor to encounter somebody that was near his equal and that his relationship with Jane may have evolved in unexpected ways in between The Dark World and Ragnarok, and we wanted to pit him against a character who was much more his equal and in many ways his superior.” (x)

Feige implies that A) Valkyrie was in Ragnorak to be a romantic interest for Thor, B) Valkyrie is better and more powerful than Jane Foster, and C) Jane Foster was always Thor’s inferior. 

What’s ridiculous is that Ragnorak had a “sorry Jane dumped you” throwaway line to explain Portman’s absence. And instead of saying that Jane and Thor broke up in interviews, a line that does not spoil literally anything about the film, Feige chose to attack Jane’s strength and capability, which would have been a very special dig at Portman. 

Do you want to know what none of this sounds like? Taika Waititi’s opinion. Waititi is a master storyteller who does not sacrifice his feminist views for laughs. You can bet that Feige’s ridiculous slams on Portman and her character Jane– disguised as “promotion” for WAITITI’S FILM– would have troubled him immensely. This is a man with a Māori father, who had to use his mother’s maiden name– Cohen– for earlier work because an indigenous last name kept him away from opportunity. This man does NOT fuck around with entertainment that gets its power off of sexism and inequality. He knows from experience just how infuriating it is when it comes to directors missing out on opportunities because they aren’t a white man. 

So how does he fix this? How does he fix the idea that Jane Foster can’t go to space, or that she’s not powerful enough for Thor, the god of thunder? 

He makes her Thor. 

Waititi saw Portman / Jane Foster’s name dragged through the mud by Kevin Feige in order to promote his movie, and when he got hired to direct again, he decided to right those wrongs. This picture means everything. He is on his knee, handing her Thor’s hammer, essentially saying, you will never have to go through that shit with me. With me, you’re a god. And the expression on her face, after Marvel attempted to break her, doesn’t need words. 

What a photo. What a film. What a man. 

Wiatiti And Portman are also BOTH jewish! Jews lifting up Jews!
