you do know that when jewish and romani people say “never forget” we mean “learn about the holocaust so you can recognize the warning signs of facism and genocide” not “repeatedly bring up the holocaust whenever anything bad happens and exploit our pain and trauma to make people care about your cause” and when we say “never again” we mean “take action to prevent any stage of genocide on any scale by any means, hold collaborators responsible and don’t be complicit” not “only care about genocide when it’s too late”, right? or did you think it was just a fun catchphrase?

no actually reblog this

btw we also mean learn about the histories of antisemitism and anti-Romani racism specifically, because the Holocaust wasn’t some weird isolated hatred fest, it was based on centuries of our peoples’ oppression, and if you don’t understand that, you don’t understand the Holocaust. 

7x05 / 7x10

Freshman year of college I was in a philosophy class and I was giving some sort of group presentation. The prof asked my group “what do you think is your purpose in life?” And none of them really had an answer while I just said “to make the world a better place for those who come after us” because in my mind that’s just the obvious answer. The prof looked kind of taken aback that I just had an answer on the ready and was like “Why? What’s your motivation?”

In that moment I realized I was in front of a lecture hall of privileged students. I was surrounded by people who didn’t know poverty or desperation like I had. I clawed my way here on scholarships while they were legacy kids or trust fund babies. In that moment it clicked in my head that there’s this level of empathy that you can only gain when you have absolutely nothing to lose. A level of empathy that only the impoverished have. A level of empathy that screams out that you have to fight to make things better even if it doesn’t benefit you. It’s a concept that you can only really grasp when you have nothing to lose and the kids before me hadn’t known that pain. They hadn’t developed that kind of empathy.

My only answer that I could give the prof was “Why wouldn’t I?”

A level of empathy that screams out that you have to fight to make things better even if it doesn’t benefit you.

all the angry rich people in the notes:

also to all the people who are arguing that class privilege has nothing to do with empathy, studies show that richer people have less empathy

i know u dont like to listen to us commoners but… lmao

oh this one of them good posts where the basic message is “treat people better” and this causes the most controversy

Okay. Now just try and relax. You’re gonna be okay. The forced optimism in your voice suggests that you are trying to elicit a sense of calm in order to… I’ll cut the horseshit.

I love this so much, I’m gonna start saying “nuts” we need to bring it back

I love b&w proper ladies breaking character with “sonofabitch”

yeah we know pre-civil war tony never has his shit together and rhodey, pepper, happy, and jarvis are holding like 80% of his life together but also he’s the kind of person that calls his friends at 3am like “hey I’m at walmart do you guys need anything”

happy: is that code for something? are you safe? should I call the police? wh-

tony: happy. I am fine. I am having the time of my life. do you want me to get lucky charms for you or not.

happy: …if you wouldn’t mind, yeah

tony: wouldn’t mind?? happy I would die for you

–

rhodey, used to this: yeah man, thanks, I need some eggs and sugar

tony: copy that, babycakes

–

pepper, who has been working for tony for maybe three months: did you wake me up to ask me if I need groceries

tony: okay in my defense I had no idea it was this late. now you’re like, running my life and I want to show my thanks, is there anything-

pepper: give me a raise

tony: done. now-

pepper: I didn’t mean actually-

tony: no, I know, but you’re the only PA I’ve had for this long and you deserve it. now what can I get you

pepper:

tony:

pepper: I’m texting you my grocery list

tony: thank you very much

thinking about how klingon courting works by the female roaring and throwing heavy objects and the male reading love poetry

gay klingons:

lesbian klingons:

Do gay Klingons ever get frustrated/dejected because their gentleman caller hasn’t so much as kicked a pebble their way or uttered the slightest growl?

Do questioning Klingons ever show their crush their poetry, only to have their crush assume that he’s helping them proofread or something?

Is there ever an issue where a lesbian Klingon tries very awkwardly to recite poetry to her lady love? 

Or instances where two lesbians are basically beating the shit out of each other and both thinking “I know she thinks this is just a regular old gal fight, but no, seriously, I’m trying to declare my intentions here”?

Are there euphemisms for LGBT Klingons? “Don’t try to win her over, Riker. She reads poetry.” 

This one of the best things I’ve ever read

Bisexual Klingons:

”The woman’s got to show up, [like], “We all done, sweetie? Okay. Out you go, I gotta make a story out of this mess.”

Mad Max: Fury Road and practically every film JJ Abrams has ever made including The Force Awakens.

Mad Max: Fury Road was edited by Margaret Sixel, who is married to George Miller and who he begged to edit the film because he said that if a man edited it, would be a totally different movie and not one he wanted to make.

Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey edited The Force Awakens. Maryann Brandon has worked on almost all of the shows and films Abrams has worked on and Mary Jo Markey is also a frequent collaborator.

Thelma Colbert Schoonmaker has edited all of Martin Scorcese’s films since Raging Bull and worked with him for around 40 years.

Sally Menke edited all of Quentin Tarantino’s films until her tragic death in 2010.

Julia Bloch is an editor gaining attention for her work on Blue Ruin and Green Room.

about 40% of Hollywood editors are women. when discussing how these women are underrepresented, you need to give their names.

Sally Menke dying in 2010 just explains my entire feelings on QT’s last decade of work. RIP Sally he ain’t shit without you

When there’s 2 Taiwan Joneses, who both go to Howard, and neither of them know who failed yet

Update!

why is this so funny to me

Only the breakable ones. You are made of marble.

I have no ability to percieve myself on a physical level. I looked at a girl and said "I wish I looked like that" and my friends almost killed me bc apparently she could've been my twin.

When I was younger I read a romantic description in a book of a woman's "Cupid's bow lips" and I lamented to my mom about how desperately I wished to have such lips bc it seemed so romantic and she was like "you literally have a Cupid's bow"

and I was like oh this is great news!

I wanted to have green eyes so so badly and one day I realized I DO have green eyes but three of my siblings have blue eyes so I just conceptualized myself with the wrong eye color for like. 15 years.

Sorry I just
