10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU — 1999, dir. Gil Junger

girl what?

Special Item Drop: Dorito's Diaphanous Dust - A Neon Orange dust that (somehow) turns mice- and maybe you!- transparent.

FAQ:

Yes, it's real. It works by, putting it very simply, the dye absorbs a wavelength of light and then scientists can scatter it (use fancy light bending) to see through the mouse.

No, we don't know if it will work on humans, because our skin is way thicker than a mouse'.

Yes, there are photos of it, and yes they're pretty disturbing.

Expanding a bit on the post I just reblogged, I absolutely HATE how a surprisingly large portion of the population now thinks that feminism is synonymous with being a "girlboss". The idea that working some kind of professional job and being successful at it is the only way to do feminism is insane. People will literally say "feminism has failed us" or "I'm giving up on feminism" when they're unhappy with their jobs. Babes idk how to explain this to you but that is not a problem with feminism that is a problem with your job. You don't need a rich man to provide for you while you take care of the kids you need a goddamn union and some paid leave

The reason why feminists of past generations fought for middle to upper class women to leave the house and join the workforce was not because they thought working a job is some kind of emotionally fulfilling activity. They fought for that because housewives at the time were completely at the mercy of their husbands. If you were a housewife and your husband was abusive, or you just didn't love him anymore and wanted out, you had nowhere to go. You had no money because he controlled the finances, you had no car or place to stay because his name was on the title for both, you had no job because you stayed at home and no education or work experience with which to get a job because you probably got married pretty young. The point of getting women into the workforce was to make women less dependent on men because if you depend on someone for the roof over your head and the food on your plate, they can do whatever the fuck they want to you and you'll have absolutely no recourse.

The natural next step of this thought process should be "ok, now women are in the workforce, they are not dependent on men in the way they once were, how can we change the structure of work such that it doesn't make everyone fucking miserable" giving up on feminism because your predecessors fought for the right for you to have a well-paying job and your job sucks is such an intellectually lazy conclusion to come to.

Like hey, if you've ever thought "working for a living is miserable, I wish I had a man to pay all the bills" do yourself a favor and ask yourself why that was the solution your brain went to? Why is it that when you feel like work is sucking your soul, the first solution you go to is to become a housewife? Maybe it's because as a girl, you were taught that being a housewife is a good and admirable thing to do, and even though you were also taught that it's good to have a career as a woman, everyone for your whole life has always been subtly, gently nudging you toward the idea of "settling down". Have you considered that perhaps that is an expression of a system of social organization that prioritizes the needs of men over women and encourages women to submit to the whims of men? You know, like some kind of *patriarchy*? Damn if only we had some kind of ideology to combat that...

put another way

i want love

it's coming

are we sure though

Maybe if we meme this hard enough he will have to make a public statement about how his name is not Jorkin Depeanus. This causing the general public to become aware of it and destroying any shred of hope he has left

how this guy lost the war on drugs is a mystery to me

honestly the human brain is so small that you *will* forget how much beauty there is out there to experience unless you leave your house every three days. ik its fucked up but i promise its true

my brain, trying to deceive me: there's literally nothing outside!!!!! it's the same neighborhood it's always been !!!!!

me, tying my shoes: shut up shut up!!!! by god we're gonna try to find magic in mundane today !!!!

truly obsessed with blizzard confirming the shimadas to be 16 and 19 years respectively older than. their childhood friend. children playing with a still unfertilized egg inside a womans womb. small girl having the shit beaten out of her in training with two 20somethings.

a CEO walks into his office “any messages?” he asks his assistant “two anons want to know who tom petty is and one just says ‘post your ballsack’” “got it. check my dashboard” “that skeleton gif you like is back again” he rubs his chin pensively “mm. reblog that”

caramel frappe give me the strength to clean my room

caramel frappe PLEASE

thank you so much this is the highest compliment

I'm Diné (Navajo) and in high school I was put in some kind of group for native kids. It was run by a white woman who told us that if we were ever in class and feeling overwhelmed, we had permission to just up and leave class to go wander around outside and reconnect with nature. We all took advantage of this regularly

the implication she thought you were like, forest fairies that had to periodically connect with nature to regain your strength is the most racist but also kinda funny thing I ever heard

Me listening to a "medieval version" of a modern song that has multiple melodic and harmonic lines, knowing that polyphony did not become a prominent musical texture until the renaissance era

i was so real here

i'm not the praying sort, but i'll probably always have a soft spot for the astronaut's prayer

for those who aren't familiar with it, it's a possibly-spurious quote by alan shepard (and is thus sometimes referred to as the shepard's prayer) on the launchpad of Freedom 7, immediately before he became the first american in space. it goes like this:

60% of the frankly mid high fantasy pulp Ive read recently would be massively improved if they just made all the characters mice. Like, the important enchanted sword is made out of a paperclip now.

I think you know you've done a good job at setting a unique tone when a story cannot be mousified without significant modification.

Star Wars: Would be very difficult to mousify. Many elements of the setting would not translate to Mouseification.

Breaking Bad: Could be Mousified, but would lose an essential element of it's character. Mousing Bad would be a fundamentally different story, a parody.

Harry Potter: Mouseification would be a blanket improvement.

ohhh fuck off. someone learned my summoning ritual again. ill be right back
