"we took porn off tumblr for more lucrative advertising" like this you mean

"post plus" pay me to have to look at these

"Skibidi toilet is a sign that this is the end of creativity as we know it, kids are so stupid nowdays, skibidi toilet is rotting their brains they're so cringe!!!"

You sound like your parents, don't you remember?

Kids have ALWAYS liked stupid ass mindless shit because it's FUN and so completely non serious, as stupid as you think the stuff they like is, they're having FUN and It pisses me off when people start shaming kids for what they like because they're acting like it's so much for serious than it is. That is EXACTLY what every generation does, you are not the exception

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

1. They make a hateful, fascist statement
2. Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong
3. We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process
4. We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go
5. They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)

So wait are livestock guardian dogs to their flocks like… Clark Kent among the residents of Smallville? He’s been here since he was a baby, we all know him, and he’s… generally one-of-us shaped, uh, approximately. And then when something goes wrong he suddenly leaps into action and does some terrifying impossible shit none of us could do. And then comes back home and settles in like nothing happened and he’s one of us again.

reblog to diminish the horrors from the person you reblogged from

Some other insightful person before me noticed that the boy in this scene

looks an awful lot like the boy in this one.

I’m pretty sure it was a deliberate casting choice.  After all, Anakin is not only literally slaughtering that Jedi youngling, he’s also symbolically and emotionally slaughtering the innocent little boy he used to be. It’s also significant that the two scenes take place in the same location. The Jedi assault on young Anakin began in that room, and that was where he ended it.

You see, little Ani Skywalker of Tatooine was a good boy.  Everyone said so: his mom, his friends, random strangers, even his master Watto thought he was a credit to his species. Ani was loving son, a dutiful worker, and a generous person who performed random acts of kindness for friends and strangers alike. He had pride in his abilities, but it was justified and tempered by his understanding of his place. Yes, he had ambition too, but freedom is an understandable and worthwhile ambition, especially since wanted it for others too.  The Anakin who lived on Tatooine had a shitty childhood, but a solid and generally positive sense of self. He was a good boy and he knew it.

Then he stood in the Council room and found out he was wrong. He wasn’t a good boy, he was dangerous. His concern for his mother? Dangerous. His desire to help others and damn the consequences? Dangerous? His Force powers and various skills? Dangerous. His ambition? Dangerous. 

Anakin’s introduction to and initial rejection by the Council was the start of a 10+ year campaign to utterly destroy his sense of self. The Jedi told him that all the things that make him Anakin are wrong and bad and dangerous. They treated him with suspicion and distain and made him doubt himself. Anakin from TPM is outgoing and self-confident. Ten years later, Anakin in AotC is hesitant, deferential, and easily lead. He has been taught to doubt and even fear his own thoughts and feelings because he is, after all, dangerous.

Anakin falls. He makes the decision to use his powers for evil and slaughters a room full of children (among others) and that’s on him, but if it hadn’t been for the Council’s initial act of psychological violence he wouldn’t have.  If he hadn’t been carefully taught to fear himself, if he hadn’t been conditioned to do what he was told, he wouldn’t have given himself to the Dark Side.  After all, Anakin Skywalker was a good boy, right up until he found out he was dangerous.

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

hey. don’t cry. you’re not a Harry Potter adult

No Food. No Water. No Aid. For 7 Weeks.

My children are starving.
They cry themselves to sleep every night—
not because they’re tired, but because they are hungry.

There is no food to give them.
No clean water.
No medicine.
No way to keep them safe.

I am a mother in Gaza.
I have nothing left but my words, and I am using them now to beg you:

Please.
Help us. Feed us. Save us.
Don’t let my children be next.

Donate whatever you can.
A small act of kindness can keep a child alive another day.

Please Donate now:👇👇 👇

A person whose piss smells like fancy high-end perfume probably wouldn't just figure it out and start bottling it. They would go around perfume reviewing websites commenting about how every damn fragrance smells like piss.

Here’s how to tell if a language is easy to learn

• None of them are easy
• They’re all stupid and terrible and will kick you in the nuts
• That being said
• Languages similar to ones you already speak
• Languages you have a lot of motivation to learn
• Languages that have a lot of resources and media to watch and/or listen to and/or read
• So, if you’re reading this with relative ease (aka you speak English fluently) probably French or Spanish
• Do whatever you want though idk
• Don’t just choose a language based on how easy it is
• Unless that’s what it takes to keep you motivated idk
• Go learn Frisian or something
