In light of today’s bird app news, I’m glad we can be an inspiration to those less fortunate than us. Godspeed
hey not sure if i have any Jewish followers from NJ but FYI. this is really concerning
I could be wrong about myself, but i do think im willing to listen to any legitimate criticsm of the cr cast and crew. I def am hyperaware about the development of parasocial relationship.(C.C. that addresses things like "what can be done". Often "constructive criticism" just means criticism. C.c. means like...including what the person SHOULD have done , discussing what is acceptable, and talking about a problem while highlighting that while the person did it it was just a byproduct of a larger issue*)
But i was just thinking about how much criticism ignores the fact that..im pretty sure alot of this thry didnt ask for. Like u start this show and people start sending u thousands of dollars of free dolls and figures and handcrafted items and food and people obsess over you. U struggle to thank em and give back to the community. U even extend your show so u can try to show off the generocity and thank each person, but it becomes to much and so u have to thank the big ones and just shout out the rest but it CONTINUES and so u make a whole show once a month to show stuff off. U pay an associate to put up the TONS of fanart and BEG fans to submit it through proper channels so they can show ppl fans amazing work and credit you properly. And all while this is happening THOUSANDS of fans are talking shit about your wife and your friends and obsessing over their every move, harrassing you left and right and u have to use all your acting talent to address criticism and fans just being horrible people to you because u know if u treat people as they deserve it will villainize you.
Just...i cant imagine the stress they are under, and how afraid they probably are at doing or saying the wrong thing. And yet regardless they try to raise tons of money for disaster relief and speak openly against bigotry and hate on their platforms. Try to depict queerness in a wonderful light and take down toxic masculinity and showcase different cultures beuatifully and respectfully.
I think its important to respectfully engage with criticism but so far from everything i heard the cast has had the patience of saints compared to the shit they have to put up with. And thats not even getting into how anima fans constantly shit talk english dubs (i.e. cr casts main job) and all the threats and harrassment bailey got for her characters actions in last of us
*going to use the latest thing as an example. Criticism of the cr3 intro ignores the fact that "the the of exploration" while yes a time of white colonialism...is the only age of exploration the west had. That is to say...they wore those costumes because thats what explorers typically wore. Its like sahing u cant wear levis because when they were first invented slavery still existed. In a vaccume they were just wearing period clothing. Then according to some they are criticizing them playing in marquet...what other alternative? U arent allowed to tell fantasy stories unless its in a fake world based on your ancestors land? Thats so stupid. As REASONABLE people have always said u can tell stories u arent an expert in if u are respectful. Which they are.
Then there is the fact that some critics are saying its weird all the characters ARENT from marquet, while others wre saying its racist for white ppl to play poc (ignoring the fact that...thats not what blackface/yellowface is). So according to critics they cant play any characters. None of these people provide solutions cus there arent any. It IS true that part of systemic racism is fetishization of other cultures and that poc roles are often given to white actors. But thats not what is happening. And so criticicm that "they should be careful of their themes so they are respectful of the cultures marquet is based on" IS a valid critcism. But "what they are doing is objectively bad and they should just stop playing the game unless they fire the whole cast and play in europe but all the new cast have to play non whites" is stuuupid. Thats not criticism thats shit.
Criticism means "the people involved should just be aware of this problematic aspect " or "they should fix this problem like this". Trying to act like they should just...stop...is not criticism

Reblogging again because I just realized that if I had this advice in high school I would’ve never made a tumblr account.
Also works for most of those news sites like WSJ or NYT that only let you read a little bit, or block adblockers. Also some disable the scroll bar but if you go to the right side of the console after hitting F12 and look for the CSS element “overflow” and change it from “hidden” to “visible” then you can continue scrolling for free. Might have to click around on different parts of the page to find it, but it should work.
it's really disappointing how people's critique of jkr starts and ends with her transphobia, and they completely ignore her blatant antisemitism, racism, homophobia, slavery apologism, sympathy for the wizard nazis, (the wizard nazi incel) snape's redemption, the villain of fantastic beasts trying to stop the holocaust, and the new game literally being a rehash of the blood libel myth.
&her ableism, fatphobia, classism, and general naked imperialism (look at things like the "thunderbird" in fantastic beasts, or anything and everything she's ever said or done about Scotland, for example)
This ass-hat has actually lobbied against things like "letting disabled people survive" and "the colonised nation I live in taking steps toward independence."
Oh, and you already mentioned it, but - antisemitism, again. Cannot stress the antisemitism enough because, holy fuck she's so antisemitic!
as a trans person this is is so important to look at and spread bc us trans people are not the only people affected, and we need to band together to spread awareness about the full extent of JKRs bigotry.
I always reblog this. Just because her transphobia affects the most prominently, trans people, that doesn’t mean we get to ignore her massive list of everything else.
Since Kung Pow Penis is coming back into the tumblrina’s arsenal, and new users are supposedly coming here from twitter who might not know in the first place, I think people need a bit of a reminder how to use it properly. You should only start or continue a KPP attack if OP is the one you’re trying to use it on. If you use it on somebody who added to the post, they won’t see shit past the initial K, and a potentially undeserving OP will have their notifications spammed by stray letters for ages.
With great power comes great responsibility, and with great Kung Pow comes great Penis.

I'm a red-blooded corn-fed AMERICAN MAN and if I wanna get my tits chopped off that's my god-given right as a tax payer.
Why should the government tell me what my gender is? Back in my day we earned our own genders uphill in a blizzard both ways.
Well I think this post has started reaching people that don’t get the joke. It was nice knowing you all.
No but this is hilarious and reminds me of a galaxy-brained shirt I saw the other day
Walk into the nearest Hobby Lobby wearing this and watch people begin to disintegrate
I want that to become my 4th of July shirt. I want to wear that shirt to the family barbecue so bad.
Guess who’s $25 poorer and prepared for July 4th already
sorry if you’re finding out like this

OK, fine, the Brits can take this one W for once.

i appreciate ofmd’s “it’s only 1717 when it’s funny” approach to historical accuracy. pinnochio was written in the 1800s. the real israel hands should be 16. pyramid schemes. stede being in that incredibly modern theater teacher outfit. anyway i think lucius should know who lady gaga is but no one else does
[a reply from bitchdisorder: dnd campaign-style period accuracy]
love all the notes on this post everyone thank you for reminding me of hits such as:
- swede singing a mozart song before mozart was born
- lucius saying he had a beard in the gay, dating a girl because you’re closeted sense & jim having no idea what the fuck he’s talking about
- ed’s actual biker jacket which literally did not even occur to me while watching that it might be slightly out of place because i was too into the idea of pirates wearing leather
- the real ed & stede being in their 20s
- someone saying “they’re going to leave me a bad review” potentially implying the existence of a ye olde yelp
- everyone saying “bro”
- Olu’s crocs
- and of course, something i was going to mention in my original post but forgot, jim’s gc2b binder
edwardsilkheart
- 1717 was in no way a leap year
- stede roleplaying a phrenologist before phrenology was invented
- Coat hangers in Stede’s closet, which were invented in the 1860’s.
- Cigarettes are a 19th century invention too.
- Lucius wears a pretty darn good pair of 18th century sailor’s slops, with a proper buttoned fall front, and then just… a t-shirt. Perfect, I love it.
- The vast majority of Stede’s suits (when they’re actually trying to be historical) are much more mid-to-late 18th century, and one of the ones in the flashbacks is late 17th century looking.
- The Dutch ship’s crew all have 1640’s lace collars.
- Breast pockets aren’t a thing in the 18th century, and I’m pretty sure wearing a fancy handkerchief in them wasn’t a thing until the early 20th century.
- I don’t know much about historical dishes, furniture, ships, etc. but am told that they’re all over the place too.
- Stede’s very modern velvet sleep mask.
- The upright piano wasn’t invented until 1800.
As a reminder, this is what she looks like:
Also I hope everyone knows that Miette was fostered before she was adopted, and her foster mom loved that little kitten so much and always hoped she’d gone to a good home. this tweet got so popular that she recognized Miette and reached out to her current mom, and was able to share previously unseen baby pictures
You mean, she saw Miette was kicked like the football and did nothing to help put Mother in jail for a thousand years? I am appalled.

her!!!
Baby Miette!!!
Babe wake up new Miette lore just dropped
