My government has deregistered an Aboriginal heritage site as old as the pyramids and in the next breath decided theyâre going to build a freeway over it.Â
Just so everyone knows too, the government only JUST officially recognised aboriginals here as First peoples and custodians of this state this passing September.Â

some guy: instinct just memes around uselessly, i hardly see any of their gyms
me: holds ur face gently listen to me you little shit
I kind of wish disneyâs ~weird period~ had lasted longer. Like all of a sudden we were getting these films like lilo & stitch and Atlantis and the emperorâs new groove and treasure planet and they were so fun and DIFFERENT. Just thinking about what the pitches for those movies had to have been like is so surreal?? A little blue criminal alien crash lands on a Hawaiian island and gets adopted by two sisters dealing with social services that teach him about the value of family. An Inca emperor gets turned into a llama and john goodman helps him get back to his palace and one of the bad guys talks to squirrels. Treasure island but in SPACE. Like, on the surface, the premise for these films seem so random but they all TOTALLY WORKED IN REALLY GREAT WAYS??? idk I just really miss that early 2000s spark of offbeat creativity in Disneyâs timeline.
Okay but the history behind this is so interesting?
All these movies came from the Florida studio, which for a long time was a backup animation studio that did work the main Burbank studio didnât have time for.Â
Then in 1996 Disney decided to focus all their energy on transitioning to 3D animation. They acquired Pixar and started working on A Bugâs Life.Â
They basically told the Florida studio (their only remaining full-time 2D animation studio) â âEeeeeeh, do what you want.â
And the Florida studio, for the first time, got to produce feature films:
Mulan (1998)[27]
Tarzan (1999)[28]
John Henry (2000)[29]
The Emperorâs New Groove (2000)[30]
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)[31]
Lilo & Stitch (2002)
Brother Bear (2003)
Then in 2004 Disney decided to stop producing 2-D feature films altogether. They closed down the Florida studio and laid off all the Florida Studio animators.
Many of whom then got hired by Dreamworks.
That. Explains. Everything.

I love japanese vines
theres no way this is 6 seconds long
me: *texting my mom that i love her and that i hope she has a great day*
some middle aged artist across the street: *sees that i'm on my phone and creates a whole art piece about how cell phones are sucking the souls out of people and are the root of all evil*
this is the biggest plot twist of our generation
In fanfiction there is a difference between being a good writer and a popular writer.Â
Just because you can write a well-structured story with dynamic and consistent writing and characters doesnât mean you will be popular. And sometimes stories that have disorganized plots, mediocre writing, and/or OOC characters will be held up as the greatest things to ever exist.Â
Just because your writing isnât popular doesnât mean you are a bad writer. Donât ever compromise who you are, who your characters are, your plot, your writing style, anything for the sake of readership.
There are popular writers everywhere. But there are only so many good writers.
Fanfiction isnât written for you, itâs shared with you.
this applies to any kind of written art.

@jordanklepper spent all night looking into Donald Trumpâs business ventures. Spoiler alert: itâs all bullshit.
me, taking a âwhich character are youâ quiz: is this option really âmeâ or do I just want to click it because I know which result itâll get me
I hate how the stereotype is that dolphins are good and sharks are evil, when dolphins are so smart that they have the capacity for evil but sharks are simple fish who can only be true neutral, so even if a minority of dolphins are evil there are still more evil dolphins than sharks

PLEASE DO NOT SEE THE MOVIE ME BEFORE YOU. It is incredibly ableist and honestly insulting to the disability community. You want to know why Iâm so upset about this movie? When i was about 8 i was doing a back handspring out in my yard and considering i did acrobatics it wasnât a big deal. However, this time was different, i made a positioning error and would up landing on my neck. When i tried to get up i couldnât, my legs and arms wouldnât move. I started screaming and crying and my friends ran to go get help. I remember everything about what happened: my parents on the phone with 911, being in the ambulance, at the hospital in a neck brace getting all sorts of scans and tests done. I remember laying in my hospital bed being quadriplegic and absolutely terrified. My parents thought i would be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life and so did my doctors. It was a miracle when feeling came back into my arms and legs. For those of you who do not know the plot of the movie/book itâs about a man who comes from a wealthy family and is in a horrible accident leaving him quadriplegic. He wants to end his life but his family promises to give him 6 more months and if heâs not happy by then he can end his life. During these 6 months he meets a new caretaker and falls in love with her. The trailers of this movie make it seem as though once he meets her life is better and he is finally happy. However, at the end of the movie he winds up having an assisted suicide his family is happy they no longer need to care for him and he leaves this girl a bunch of money so she can travel and âlive boldlyâ as the movie puts it and it is portrayed as benefiting everyone. All i can think of is some scared little girl in a hospital bed paralyzed watching this movie because she thinks he finds happiness when really he ends his life. Iâve seen posts in the support group i run from disabled people saying this movie plot makes them want to end their lives. Not only that, i received a message on my blog yesterday from a young girl telling me she read the plot of the movie and it made her want to end her life, i talked her out of it luckily but what this movie is doing to the disabled community is horrific. Not only does this movie romanticize suicide it is making others who are disabled want to end their lives as well. If you see this movie you are feeding into the ideology that people who are disabled should all end their lives and the world is better without us. Donât go pay to see this movie, itâs bad enough this is already a book.

Children should remain silent, and they are âgoodâ when theyâre quiet, but âbadâ when they are not, because they are disturbing the adults and causing trouble. This attitude runs through the way people interact with children on every level, and yet, they seem surprised when it turns out that children have been struggling with serious medical problems, or theyâve been assaulted or abused. The most common response is âwell why didnât the child say something?â or âwhy didnât the child talk to an adult?â Adults constantly assure themselves that children know to go to a grownup when they are in trouble, and they even repeat that sentiment to children; you can always come to us, adults tell children, when you need help. Find a trusted adult, a teacher or a doctor or a police officer or a firefighter, and tell that adult whatâs going on, and youâll be helped, and everything will be all right. The thing is that children do that, and the adults donât listen. Every time a child tells an adult about something and nothing happens, that child learns that adults are liars, and that they donât provide the promised help. Children hold up their end of the deal by reporting, sometimes at great personal risk, and they get no concrete action in return. Sometimes, the very adult people tell a child to âtrustâ is the least reliable person; the teacher is friends with the priest who is molesting a student, the firefighter plays pool with the father who is beating a child, they donât want to cause a scene. Or children are accused of lying for attention because they accused the wrong person. Theyâre told they must be mistaken about what happened, unclear on the specifics, because thereâs no way what theyâre saying could be true, so and so isnât that kind of person. A mother would never do that. Heâs a respected member of the community! In their haste to close their ears to the childâs voice, adults make sure the childâs experience is utterly denied and debunked. Couldnât be, canât be, wonât be. The child knows not to say such things in the future, because no one is listening, because people will actively tell the child to be quiet. Children are also told that they arenât experiencing what theyâre actually experiencing, or theyâre being fussy about nothing. A child reports a pain in her leg after gym class, and sheâs told to quit whining. Four months later, everyone is shocked when her metastatic bone cancer becomes unavoidably apparent. Had someone listened to her in the first place when she reported the original bone pain and said it felt different that usual, she would have been evaluated sooner. A child tells a teacher he has trouble seeing the blackboard, and the teacher dismisses it, so the child is never referred for glasses; the child struggles with math until high school, when someone finally acknowledges thereâs a problem. This attitude, that children shouldnât be believed, puts the burden of proof on children, rather than assuming that there might be something to their statements. Some people seem to think that actually listening to children would result in a generation of hopelessly spoiled brats who know they can say anything for attention, but would that actually be the case? That assumption is rooted in the idea that children are not trustworthy, and cannot be respected. Iâm having trouble understanding why adults should be viewed as inherently trustworthy and respectable, especially in light of the way we treat children.
Children Talk But No One Listens â this ainât livinâ (via unsungtale)
Iâm going to do everything I can to prevent this in my life, both with my children and others.
I think I will always remember how completely shitty it feels to be ignored and contradicted with no support other than âYouâre a child, so you donât know what youâre talking about.â
(via beyoursledgehammer) Maaaan, this shit right HERE, tho.
(via tashabilities)
And children will sometimes think adults are liars because it hasnât occurred to them that adults can be wrong. Whenever teachers told me to ignore my bullies and that will make them stop, I progressively became more and more frustrated because I didnât understand why they were lying to me. (The only teachers I began to go to about it after a while were the ones who tried to help but knew they couldnât magically prevent the bullying from happening.)
There is a frightening amount of apathy directed toward children. Children are people with their own motivations and desires and the biggest difference they have from adults is lack of experience. Things are much newer to them. Theyâre still practicing at being themself.
And adults refusing to listen to kids doesnât help.
When a kid told me they hurt their leg in the ballpit where I worked, I would ask where it hurt and look at it. Instead of dismissing the kid, Iâd ask them if they wanted their parents to pick them up, if they just wanted to sit for a couple minutes, or if they were okay to keep playing. Not only did that teach them that I listened to them and believed them, but it also made them better at recognizing their own injury status because the kids who were more hurt wanted their parents but the kids whose pain had already passed would want to go back in the ballpit.
Listen to kids. Guide them as far as learning how to verbalize things so that they can tell you. But donât dismiss kids.

Consider:
Victorian England: 1837-1901
American Old West: 1803-1912
Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912
French privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830
Conclusion: an adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.
It really just comes down to whether a given individual or group is looking for reasons to include, or reasons to exclude. Hypothetical groups like these can go a lot further than this, too.
