Rightoids have been raging about LEGO's latest theme (LEGO Dreamzzz) because it's marketed as being gender-neutral, you know, like how LEGO was originally marketed? 🙄

IS slumber party massacre ii the perfect movie?? no!!! but it's perfect to ME and that's all that matters. that giant drill is on the end of the world's sexiest electric guitar!!!!!! also it IS the perfect movie
this movie has everything. it's the 80s. girl best friends. alone for the weekend. guys show up. you only hate one of them. it's the 80s. girl takes a bath and there's so much blood. 80s. The Killer is wearing what can only be described as an all leather cowboy vampire ensemble and has an electric guitar. it's bright red. it's so hot. it's the 80s. the girls are in a band. they are good at being in a band. there's a drill on the end of the sexy guitar. there's a murderous music slash dance break. final girl gets attacked by a raw chicken. no she doesn't. she's crazy. she's not crazy. it's the 80s. she's having prophetic (??) dreams. she's anxious and scared about the prophetic (question marks?) dreams. her friends lovingly keep telling her it's because she's hungover. this is believable if you have ever been hungover. it's the 80s. jennifer rhodes is there for a little bit. multiple instances of horror directors names being used in passing. all cops are asshole degenerates. guitar. blood. leather. feminism. 80s.
TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY (1991)
Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The terminator would never stop. It would never leave him, and it would never hurt him, never shout at him, or get drunk and hit him, or say it was too busy to spend time with him. It would always be there. And it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice.
i saw a man at work the other day wearing a shirt that said "i was normal 2 pomeranians ago" with pictures of his pomeranians on it. important to note he had his pomeranians in his cart
artists rendition (i forgot to add the poms on his shirt but you get the gist)
Every time someone makes an artist's rendition of a weird little guy they saw in public instead of recording them without consent, an angel gets it's wings.
anyone who acts like there's some kind of implicit understanding or sisterhood between all women is straight up lying
i made this post specifically about a friend of mine, so let me say this: if you want to be a girl, but feel like you can't because you would never be comfortable in The Club of Womanhood, don't worry! feeling like an alienated little weirdo who will never Get what other girls seem to pick up naturally is in fact an extremely Girl experience
Men on their periods deserve special biting permissions in the workplace
Clap if you think men on their periods deserve special biting permissions in the work place
issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the terrorist Ted "unabomber" Kaczynski. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to him"
I fell in love with this chicken on sight….and I knew I had to draw her. What an iconic, confused little lass.
thinking about the american flag on the moon makes me want to throw up
As a country we need to be doing more for poor people, but the south in particular is being hit hard
ETA: if I see any specious red versus blue political party stuff in the notes I will single you out PERSONALLY
Something you should always do with these kinds of maps is look at a population density map to make sure the map isn't just showing you where people live.
Population map:
Good, we can see there's not just a correlation between where people are dying and where people live. In fact, in some cases, places with cities can actually have a higher life expectancy! So the correlation clearly isn't "more people = more death". In the north, the city-to-longer-life correlation is likely caused by those cities being more liberal and having better healthcare policies.
But that trend only seems to work for cities in the north and for California. For the south and the Midwest, there isn't much of a correlation at all.
Now let's look at a poverty map.
There's a correlation. Notice the poverty map includes regions that correlate with lower life expectancy that the racial map does not, like Kentucky, West Virginia, and Alaska. No clear explanation for why the life expectancy in Nevada is so low, though.
That doesn't mean race has nothing to do with this or that there isn't a correlation between race and life expectancy - there are a few parts on the racial map that correspond to the life expectancy map that don't show up on the poverty map, too!
It's clear that both race and poverty, both combined and independently, play a role in lower life expectancy.
