HPDRUMCRAFT

probably the weirdest information about star wars i could give you is that the death star garbage compactor monster from episode 4 was sentient, was force sensitive, and it wasn’t trying to eat luke - it was trying to baptise him

her name was Omi, she was a lesbian, and she chose her own gender

to everybody wondering, no, im sorry, Omi did not escape the death star. she died when it was destroyed, just as she foresaw in her visions.

as a sort of silver lining, through the grace of the force she was able to accept her fate and wondered what she would be in the next life, as her culture believed in reincarnation.

me, a garbage monster lesbian:

on international women’s day don’t forget the day was started by jewish socialist women & immigrants striking against unfair labour conditions and the first marches that began the international women’s day movement were organized by socialists as well. it isn’t just some uwu solidarity good feel day, it is explicitly a day to talk about labour, to show solidarity with working class women, to strike back against capitalism, and if your women’s day organizing leaves behind women of colour, immigrants & jewish women, focuses on how women should “lean in” & acquire corporate power over others, you’re fucking up bad.

Oh, dip! I got Rosa to feel her feelings too?!

We will miss Gina Linetti every day in every way.

This is my favorite post

Omfg this is of that kid he looks exactly the same

I guess woke consumerism has a silver lining?

You love that free market but it sees no value in you.

Same

I am currently both a teacher and a student, and I am of the apparently controversial opinion that late work should always be accepted. Not just if they have a doctor’s note or their mom’s death certificate. Not just for one or two assignments a semester. Always.

“But that’s unfair to the people who submitted on time!”

I didn’t say you had to give everybody full credit. Drop the grade for each individual assignment by 5% for every day late until it gets down to 20%. Never, ever take it below 20%.

Here’s my rationale:

1. If you are a good educator, then you created that assignment in the first place because YOU WANTED YOUR STUDENTS TO LEARN SOMETHING. You still want them to have an incentive to complete that learning experience even if it’s not “on time.”

2. You want to prepare your students for the the real world, right? Well, if you missed a deadline (for example, submitting report cards), would your boss throw away everything you’d worked on, dock your paycheck, and tell you to try again next time? No. They would be upset with you, but they would ask you to take time out of your schedule to finish the project as quickly as possible. It wouldn’t cease to exist.

3. Based on point #2, if you are teaching high school or below, not accepting late work is holding children (who by the way, generally do not have full control over their schedules or what materials they have access to) to a higher standard than adults. 

4. If you are teaching college or graduate school, you are working with adults who are taking years out of their lives and paying thousands of dollars to learn from you. Why make it harder for them than it already is?

5. You have or will teach students with extenuating life circumstances that they don’t tell you about (e.g. chronic illness, caring for children or sick relatives, abusive relationships) because they are embarrassed to share this information or have already been taught to shut up and stop making excuses.

6. You have or will teach students with learning disabilities that they don’t even know about. I was diagnosed with ADHD in high school after years of being treated like I was just a bad kid. I suffered from depression and anxiety for over ten years before I went on medication. I did not even learn the words “executive dysfunction” until I was in grad school.

In conclusion, yes, we all know that being a teacher gives you authority but that’s no reason to flaunt it by imposing restrictions that don’t exist anywhere else in the name of “education.”

this is so fucking funny like if u want ur drink earlier then come earlier dumb ass

that would be the smart thing to do instead of insulting starbucks on twitter cause someone ordered a caramel frappe and u got all in ur feels about it

That’s a cheaper drink, too. ‘Hey company, you should prioritize me because I spend less money at your establishment and feel superior to customers who order what your company is most known for’ Not likely to make much headway

But you’d think first maybe they’d be like ‘hey the workers are overtaxed and there should be another worker to take the strain off and make it go faster’, first, too.

If there’s only one barista, who’s running the express line?

Also, there kind of is an ‘express’ lane? It’s available to nice regular customers.

Genuinely. I learn the baristas’ names (they’ve all got name tags, it’s not hard), smile, if there’s no queue and they’re not super busy I’ll ask about how they’re doing, compliment the coffees (”Yeeeeah Eliza makes awesome lattes!”), and the only complaint I’ve ever made was: “Hey, er, there’s no caramel syrup in this.” “Oh! I’ll make you a new one.” “Can you just put the syrup in the top?” “That’s not how we make it. It’ll taste different.” “Babe it’s coffee I don’t care.”

If the person on the bar doesn’t have a line of drinks to make, mine starts getting made the second I walk in. If there’s a queue because there’s one person at the counter who hasn’t decided what they want, I get handed my coffee before I even ask for it. They’ve purposefully gone through the cups to get me a ‘winner’. They’ve given me a month’s worth of ‘free coffee’ vouchers, meant for their 100th customer of the year but the 8 people in before me weren’t polite. There was even one specific barista who charged me for small lattes, whilst making me large caramel lattes because she was proving her point that their chain were nicer than a competing chain.

Just be nice, and you’ll have less stuff to complain about. People generally want to help, don’t give them a reason not to.

Another note, Starbucks has an app that you can use to preorder your drink and come pick it up, it’ll be already done and waiting for you when you walk in the door. THAT is the express lane, and if dipshit chose to stand in a 45 minute line for his 4 dollar half coffee half ice he’s not just wrong, he’s stupid.

Ok but what the hell does this guy mean by ‘professional’ customer Is yelling at Starbucks baristas their day job or smth?

Some people think buying a coffee = buying a coffeeshop. It’s like dude no you’re only entitled to coffee, not jumping the queue because you believe your time to be worth more than everyone around you.

fuck this guy. i hope he gets banned.

same energy

Reminder: trans Muslims and gay Muslims exist and we’re not going anywhere.

The amount of support that this post has gotten is, quite honestly, incredible. LGBT Muslims are constantly forgotten and ignored because people from both the LGBT community and the Muslim community view our existence as a contradiction or an impossibility. It’s time that people acknowledge us and our experiences with islamophobia and homophobia/transphobia because like I said: we’re not going anywhere. 

no longer a pride “demon”, just a happy little spirit of pride that everyone should have

@thisonelikesaliens​

Why is it?? That I can go through the whole day feeling fine and dandy but the second I lay down for bed impending doom settles on me?

But women discrimination is a myth right??

Imagine how many people’s lives they ruined. There were probably so many women that went in there knowing they destroyed that test. Yet, when they got their results back…they had to be so confused and disappointed. Mentally and emotionally, that had to be quite the blow. Anyway, this is evil.

And ossans here make the excuse “well they’ll quit when they get married/pregnant anyway so why waste time hiring them huehhueueh”. the whole gender role and work culture here contributes to this bullshit.

also tokyo university wasn’t the only school doing this, after this news came out a bunch of other medical universities were revealed to be doing it too.

Oh my god, the 50s TV announcer voice at that number…

Also, it will say press 1 to support the wall, repeat that, make the sound a cell phone makes when a call has been disconnected if you don’t respond, and then say “Press 2 if you do not support the wall.”

Did it to fact check, and it does in fact make the “end call” noise making you believe the call was done before you could press 2 to say you don’t support the wall.

There are so many unintended consequences to well-intentioned actions. It feels like a game you can’t win.

#CHIDI WAS RIGHT

The Good Place really went with making their new Point ‘there is no ethical consumption under capitalism’ and I respect that

I really don’t know what crowd I expected to be in the theatre for carol at 1:20 in the afternoon on a friday but it was probably 85% old people, old het couples and halfway through the movie this old lady in front of me turned to the old dude next to her and just said “harold they’re lesbians”

op sent me this today

the day harold made history

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, a sane celebrity who doesn’t bend the knee to feminist bullshit.

My god I love her.

I know people are gonna get salty af about this but by God she’s RIGHT.

When Brad Pitt did Fight Club, he was cutting weight for every single scene to maintain his physique at 155. I’ve you’ve ever cut weight, you know how horrible that must have been. He did it because they needed a “look”.

Changing Tatum said his Magic Mike body doesn’t last for more than five days. He starved down and dehydrated his already fit physique for a “look”.

The male soldiers on Spartacus: Blood and Sand were eating pretty much chicken and veggies for every meal to maintain a “look”.

Why is this such a big deal? Because all these characters are considered physical goals for men. These are actual unobtainable physical standards for men. Male body image issues get swept under the rug so often that some people don’t even think they exist.

You want proof? Just check out that scene in Captain America: First Avenger where Cap just transformed into that beautiful beefcake of a man. Agent Carter’s actress just HAD to touch them muscles, it was completely unscripted.

Chris Evans had to wear shirts so small they physically hurt, and he dislocated a shoulder during the helicopter scene in Civil War. But who cares, girls got to wet their panties watching Captain America flex.

If we are talking about unrealistic physical standards of male fitness given to us by movies, I would like to mention Hugh “Wolverine” Jackman here.

Yeah, he is ripped, isn’t he?

Well, it is true, but to get that kind of definition, he went through 36 hour period of dehydration, which caused him to temporarily lose 10 pounds of “water weight”. 

Thus during the fight scene he was filming, he was a hair breadth from blacking out whole time, just to look unrealistically muscular.

As he said during interview with Steven Colbert, “If You go three days without water, You will die. Then, when You are halfway there they shout ‘Roll it!”

It’s the same with professional bodybuilders who get into periods of extreme fasting and dehydration to lower their fat-to-muscle ratio to inhuman levels, all in hopes of making their muscle definition a bit better.

According to experts, healthy body fat percentage for a healthy male ranges from 8% to 20%, depending on height, lifestyle and numerous other variables. 

Fitness model and professional bodybuilder Helmut Strebl also known as “World’s Most Shredded Man” as he supposedly managed to get his body fat percentage below 5%…

… But only when he partakes in competitions, since it is not humanly possible to live with such low fat percentage of one’s body for longer periods of time.

I mean, yeah, he keeps a draconian training regime, as well as a very strict diet even off-season, but looks much more human then…

There are documented cases of incredibly fit and muscular bodybuilders fainting on the stage in the middle of their flexing routines, as well as several who outright died, because of cardiac arrest caused by their blood becoming too thick, due to long dehydration…

And let’s not forget about Muscle Dysmorphia, colloquially known as “Megarexia” or “Bigarexia”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_dysmorphia

Yeah, it’s a thing, but it’s barely talked about, since it’s apparently not manly to admit to having problems like that, which also creates problems with researching this particular disorder…

So… Thanks Hollywood?

I had no idea that most people who looked like this are dehydrated until I read posts like this.
