"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.

We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.

Boring people the second they see something a little creative,silly,experimental,or even just a little confussing: UHMM...⁉️ WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH 😂 WHAT WERE THEY SMOKING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😭🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😭😭🤣😂😭😂

If not now, when?

We in Labor aren’t hurting our industry. We’re fighting to save it from predatory sociopaths who will gleefully watch people lose their homes and go hungry, rather than release 2% of their grotesque wealth to ensure a healthy industry for everyone.

In 1960, SAG and WGA struck to force management to adapt to the new technology of television. Without that strike and the agreement it birthed, residual use payments would not exist. Wil Wheaton and Gates McFadden support SAG-AFTRA and WGA at Paramount Studios My parents forced me to be a child actor, and stole nearly all of my salary from my entire childhood. My Star Trek residuals were not…

Read this. Please.

So the first dark skinned female character with a speaking role Helluva decided to have is a drug addicted, predatory, violent criminal who preys on white teenage boys and is portrayed as an all around bitch...Disappointed, but not surprised, considering what we got in episode 3.

A dark skinned female character with no speaking role and purpose except to "lure" a white man, falling into the Jeezebel stereotype.

Yet another drug addicted poc who also falls into the sex addicted, spicy latina stereotype.

And a black, muscly man almost twice the size of an average woman, with a job as a bodyguard. Notice how petite Loona looks next to him. It also doesn't help that Vortex is also one of the first black characters in HB, and this is what they decided to make him look like.

thinking about all the “small” art that’s ever existed. songs that were only ever sung in one village. stories written by children that got lost in the shuffle. personal paintings that didn’t survive the test of time. how they affected the lives of just a few, but still existed, still mattered to someone.

this is not a sad post!!!! this is a celebration!!!!! art is part of the human condition!!!!!!! we were born to create and share!!!!!!!!!!!

This is revolutionary y’all. I remember being 13 and refused to go do any ceremony because my parents tried to force me to go through a bar mitzvah. By virtue of the masculine name alone I just couldn’t do it. After that, I felt very alienated from the Jewish community. Having this option is so important for us to repair these binary aspects of our culture (link)

I also had a gender neutral b'nei mitzvah, a two person one actually(me and my twin) last summer. Cool to hear about another person who did it as well.

like trust me i am aware of the “spicy Latino” trope it is unbearable to witness at best and indictive of old bad racist ideas at worst… but when you’re so deadset on trying to avoid it you end up (unintentional as it may be) saying things like “it’s pretty problematic how you’re attracted to this fictional Latino man” like… surely you can understand how that is its own problem

asking my boyfriend to put on a blindfold before we go on a date so he doesn’t accidentally commit racism by being attracted to me

can you BELIEVE nerds are attracted to a tall muscular man in a skin-tight suit with good hair and vampire fangs and a tragic backstory and Oscar Issac’s voice… completely unfathomable

the rebuttal is always like “but it’s different when you FETISHIZE him, when you draw way more porn of him compared to other characters” and it’s like… okay, are you keeping tabs on this? are you keeping track of the ratio of NSFW fanart to SFW fanart of Miguel O’Hara??? what are your metrics? where is the line? who decides the line? is it decided by the average twitter user, who doesn’t read books that aren’t YA novels because otherwise they might accidentally see the word “sex”?
