Honestly her family is probably being threatened and she knows what the CCP is capable of. The best thing to do would be boycotting the movie. The CCP were the reasons Sheng got cut because they kill LGBTQ (they pick and choose). They put their money into this and now we have to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. For Hong Kong, for the Uighur people, for LGBTQ, for DEMOCRACY!

Feminists painted the names of missing women on the Zocalo's floor 👆

This 👆 is probably my favorite photo from Mexico so far 💖

This 👇 photo is not from Mexico but Santiago Chile, I think, but I love it so much 🥰

Today is a historic day in my country, we’re fed up with gender violence in Mexico. They’re killing us. Picture this, you can’t walk outside your own house because you fear the worst, you fear that your clothes are too revealing, you fear that you’re too alone, you fear that you’re walking the wrong streets. Day after day you wake up to the news of another feminicide. They’re killing us. You see it, you hear it, you fear it. What if I’m the next one? You’re always wondering. They’re killing us. 

10 women are killed every day, only because they’re women. And it doesn’t matter where we are, what we’re wearing, who we are. It’s not our fault, because they keep killing us. 

If we keep up at this rate? What’ll be of us? 

Yesterday we marched. 

(None of the pictures are mine) 

 “I march because I’m alive and I don’t know until when.” 

“Today, all our voices aren’t together because, from death, one can’t scream.” 

“We’re not hysteric, we’re historic.” 

“Mom, if you don’t find me, look up for me in the stars.” 

Yesterday we screamed. We flourished. 

“Mom, don’t worry, today I’m not alone in the streets.” 

Our monuments bled to represent us. 

We screamed. 

But not today, today march 9th 2020. We silenced ourselves. 

Today, we disappeared. No social networks, not a single woman in the streets, not a single woman working, not a single woman studying, not a single woman at any store.

What would Mexico be without us? If you don’t want us in the streets, fine we’ll disappear.

Without us, you’ll collapse. 

Mexico woke up with no women ticket-sellers in the subway stations, no women tellers at the bank. 

No women’s column on the newspapers. 

No women at their jobs. 

No women at school. 

No women on the streets.

Mexico woke up with no women. 

We can’t accept what we can’t change, but we will change what we can’t accept. 

fucking look at this shit though

The triceratops for instance, was also animatronic.

Motherfucker randomly started moving.

And i just googled malfunctioning t-rex and was not disappointed. Apparently in order to put the skin on over the steel frame a guy had to crawl inside the t-rex while it was turned on and glue the skin down. And if somebody turned the t-rex off or the power went out the guy in the t-rex stood a very real chance of getting mangled and killed by the hydraulics.

So of course, the power goes out.

And this guy is still in there gluing the skin down.

Apparently the way to survive getting sheered to death by huge sheets of metal while you’re inside a giant t-rex robot is to curl into a ball and hope for the best.

And this guy hoped for the best and got it.

So they got hold of some of the best paleontologists they could find and said, “We want you guys to take this tech that your labs could pretty much never afford and use it to build us the most realistic, accurate dinosaur models the world has ever seen.”

The paleontologists knew an opportunity when it bit them in the ass.  They plugged in everything they knew about dinosaurs, all the skeletons and their best guesses about soft tissue and all that.  And when they’d created those dinosaur models, they had the computer start moving them as they realistically would with anatomy like that.  One guy took a look at those walking t-rexes and velociraptors (really utahraptors, but whatevs, fam), and he said, “Wait a minute, I’ve seen movement like that before.”

He called up film of a chicken walking.  Everyone in the room said, “Holy shit.”

A DECADE IN (SCI-FI) FILM: : ROGUE ONE (2016) 

Cambuskenneth Abbey.

If you were a monk living in Cambuskenneth Abbey in late medieval times, you probably never knew a minute’s peace.   Nestling in a loop of the River Forth within sight of Stirling Castle, it enjoyed the patronage of Scotland’s kings but this very fact also made it a prime target for an invading army.

The battles of Stirling Bridge, Bannockburn and Sauchieburn all took place within shouting distance of Cambuskenneth Abbey.  After Bannockburn in 1314, Robert the Bruce held a parliament here;  and after James III was killed at Sauchieburn in 1488 his body was brought to the Abbey for burial.  In 1383 the building was sacked by the army of Richard III of England, and had to be re-built.  The only possible consolation is that the occupants of Cambuskenneth had a good high tower from which they could see them all coming.

Cambuskenneth dates from 1140, when David I of Scotland founded an abbey here for a community of Arrouaisian canons;  this religious order sprang from the Abbey of Arrouaise in northern France.  Cambuskenneth was later absorbed into the order of Augustinians.

At first glance it seems that the monks of Cambuskenneth must have been squashed into one rather claustrophobic space, but when you walk around the grounds you see that the rest of the monastery – the cloister, living quarters and church – now exist only as rubble foundations.   It was, in fact, quite a large establishment, overlooked by a free-standing bell tower or campanile, “a detached structure for which there are no parallels anywhere else in Scotland.”   The imagined reconstruction offering shows how impressive it may have been. 

Add to that the added legend that William Wallace, or a part of him, may be buried within the grounds.

After his judicial murder Sir John Segrave,  Edward Longshanks lieutenant in Scotland delivered all four body parts of the legendary fighter for Scottish independence and received 15 Shillings for his troubles. Roughly a year’s earnings for a manservant.  And a gruesome task to perform.

The official version is the fourth part went to Stirling but a few scholars claim it was Aberdeen. So does the Wikipedia entry for St Machar’s Cathedral:

“After the execution of William Wallace in 1305, his body was cut up and sent to different corners of the country to warn other dissenters.

His left quarter ended up in Aberdeen and is buried in the walls of the cathedral.”

But Wikipedia on William Wallace himself claims differently. As do many others: His limbs were sent to Newcastle, Berwick, Perth and Stirling.  Three seem undisputed. But the fourth part?  Aberdeen or Stirling? 

I don’t know, but the story is the Monks fro, Cambuskenneth managed to make away with the “quarter” of Wallace at Stirling and give it a christian burial here.

As well as that the grounds here are also the resting place of King James III and his wife Queen Margaret. The  Abbey is open from  April 1st to 30th September:Daily, 9.30am to 5.30pm, last entry is  5pm and there is no cost. 

Commissions are open until May 31!

And here’s a fabulous Poe Dameron from December 2015 for you guys, completely drawn with inkpens and fineliners and markers and stuff into a moleskine. Man, I still hope they’ll do a spin-off with him as the main prota. Oscar Isaac is such an awesome actor and Poe is an even more awesome character. ♥
