& honestly there's no debate to be had the zendaya earrings are orders of magnitude worse than kim kardashian wearing that marilyn dress. yes that piece was a one of a kind unique textile made so specifically for marilyn monroe she had to be sewn into it. at the end of the day it was a ~70 year old usamerican cultural artefact being repurposed by an american for an american cultural event and everyone involved knows exactly where the dress came from + what happened to it + where it went afterwards. zendaya is wearing the looted (or forged) cultural heritage of a people her government is currently bombing & whose lives they have been deliberately making unliveable for decades to a movie premiere that has fuck all to do with iran. we don't know where those discs came from where they were found or by whom & we never will. AND the jeweller appears to have altered them substantially from their original condition. destroying a people's cultural heritage at the same time you destroy their country + their lives so you can look good on a red carpet One Time i want to fucking hurl

Something about the bastardization of the story time and time again proves that nobody in power really cares about the people who would resonate with King’s Carrie White. A girl so ugly and repulsive she’s been removed from her own story. The societal need for women and girls to be constantly perceived as attractive is what fuels a fair amount of her torment in the book, but that person isn’t even allowed to exist on the screen. We cannot empathize with her; it isn’t allowed. It’s fascinating to me.

I do think that one day we’re going to have to talk about how “autism moms” are victims too but we’re fr not ready and probably won’t be for a very long time. but i’ll just say there’s a reason there aren’t “autism dads” and it’s not bc women are uniquely evil towards autistic children.

I literally feel like a teacher writing a huge ❓ on a student's paper everytime I go to protests lately. Why are we gathered at a prolife contra protest and you have a sign with "LGBT education in schools" written on it. Why are you shouting an environmentalist slogan. This is a pro choice protest. Why are you fragmenting the group with unrelated topics? Are you a fed? Why does every protest lately have to be a buy one get one free type of event? Why is it that when our reproductive rights are threatened we feel the need to also bring up barely related topics and take away the focus from the problem at hand?

Tumblr in 2029: WAKE 👏 UP 👏 PEOPLE 👏 there’s a bill going through that will make it illegal for 8 year olds to work in coal mines! Remember that criminalizing child coal mining only takes away from vulnerable children who can’t get employment elsewhere! Children are human beings that have the human right to shove their little bodies into crevices in search of coal! Call your senator today to fight for bodily autonomy and youth rights!

also why does azula keep her nails so long. probably for the claw-like appearance signifying her evil character or something but it seems very impractical. normally i'd give it a pass since the rest of her design is pretty practical (hair tied up, sensible clothing) but since they're her nails it's gonna be in the back of my mind any time i see her fighting with bending

This is what it looks like to use even a fraction of your time, talent, and resources to help women btw. This sort of thing should be the norm. Imagine if all extraordinarily wealthy women would regularly do things like this to help other women and girls, the strength and solidarity we would begin to build.
