THIS 20TH ANNIVERSARY POSTER FOR LUCASFILM ANIMATION IS AMAZING

the best trope in media is: “characters turn on the lights, see the monster, and immediately turn the lights back off”

that one scene in Tombstone (1993)

If you're in the US military or National Guard, and are given an illegal or unconstitutional order, the GI Rights hotline (1-877-447-4487) is there to help give you the support you need to do the right thing by refusing it. It would be good to think about this now before it becomes a live issue for you and it would be smart of you to memorize that number.

You can reblog this without your thoughts about the US Military, btw, that's allowed.

‘Nope,’ He Says, Body Isn’t His

GALILEE, R. I., Sept. 24 (AP)—Charles Keville walked into a temporary morgue and looked at a body which had been identified as his.

“Nope,” he said, “that ain’t me,” and walked out again.

fuckin based and also really fuckin funny, thank you FBG

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

Last year I finally had an excuse to illustrate this simple little Tumblr story I've had bookmarked forever for class.

I hope you like it :]

Heart attacks are the most common cause of death in this region for men under the age of 40. It is noteworthy that Heart is a highly reactive 50% german shepherd, 25% labradoodle and 25% siberian wolf mix, and probably shouldn't be used as a police dog.

my one defence against scammers is that I’m stupid. this person called pretending to be my internet provider, and asked who I use for my phone, and I was like “I dunno.” and they were like, you don’t know? how do do you pay bills every month? and I was like “my phone still works so I guess it’s auto??” and then they tried to get me to open apps on my phone and I was like “I don’t have those apps. I dunno.” then after trying to convince me that I did have the apps for a couple minutes they hung up in a frustrated rage. course then I realized that I DID have the apps. and that the apps showed someone trying to log into my email and requesting confirmation. and then I was like ohhhhhh…….a scammer……woaw

Here are emergency issues for this week about which to call your Congresspeople (202-224-3121):

1) The bill mandating a strict code of ethics for SCOTUS needs a yes vote.

2)Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. Jess Craven has great scripts for your phone calls.

3)Vote no on Bill HR1526. This bill states no court in the US can tell Trump and the Executive Branch what to do. It is the final nail in the coffin of democracy and will complete the transition to full dictatorship.

4) Vote no on the Save Act.

From Jess Craven, here are the scripts for the Garcia issue:

[See extra talking points at the end of the script!]

Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______. I’m deeply alarmed that the Trump administration is ignoring the Supreme Court’s order to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. Trump is in clear violation of the Constitution, which the Senator/Congressmember has taken an oath to protect and uphold. If the government can bypass courts for Abrego Garcia, they can potentially do it to any of us. We are in a Constitutional crisis. What is the Senator/Congressmember doing about it?

[If GOP add:] If the Senator/Congressmember won’t act to uphold our constitutional rights then they should resign. And shame on them.

[If Dem add:] I understand that Senator Chris Van Hollen has announced that if Kilmar is not home by midweek he plans to travel to El Salvador to check on his condition and discuss his release. EVERY DEMOCRAT should be saying the same.

If your lawmaker’s staffer says “but he is a criminal/gang member” you can say “first of all, that’s false and your office shouldn’t be spreading lies. He’s been neither accused nor convicted of any crimes in the U.S. or in El Salvador. Would you like me to send you the article debunking that misinformation? There are several. And even if he were a criminal, he’s still entitled to due process, which isn't optional in America—it's guaranteed.

If they say “he’s not a citizen” you can say: He was here legally. Let me read to you from the Supreme Court’s ruling: The United States has acknowledged that Abrego Garcia was subject to a withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the removal to El Salvador was therefore illegal," The Justice Department acknowledged the removal was the result of an “administrative error.” This is very cut and dried. He needs to be returned to the U.S.

If they say “the President no longer has jurisdiction over this. El Salvador needs to do it,” say: “So Donald Trump is admitting that he’s weaker than the President of El Salvador? That’s pathetic. It’s also not true. If we could extract Kristi Noem from that prison we can extract an innocent man. We need to do so now.”

Do you think that when Ekko woke up in his alternate's body, he felt different?

Do you think that the height difference made him dizzy? Do you think he noticed the absence of his aches and pains, from years of fighting and suffering and getting hurt? Do you think he felt the fullness of his face and body - actual fat instead of just lean muscle lining his bones? Do you think his mind was less clouded, like the haze of adrenal fatigue had been lifted? Do you think he felt the buzz of energy he had been missing for years, when he otherwise felt like more of a hollowed husk? Energy that normally wasn't there unless in short, adrenaline-fueled bursts? Do you think he could feel how his body and mind weren't cannibalizing themselves?

Do you think he felt different?
