Develop a Mech Kink, Now

I’m rebloging this because I’ve been getting more empty, default looking accounts following me again. And this me again telling you to change it.

while we’re talking about Kung Fu Panda, because we always are now, let’s talk about how the completely bullshit “Chinese directors and moviegoers were amazed and confused that America made a movie about Chinese culture that was BETTER than Chinese movies!” comes from the very real discussion that WAS had, which was “why does America eat up our culture when they bullshit it for a kids movie, but seems to have no interest in movies out of China, and won’t offer Chinese people a modicum of the same respect they seem to have for an imaginary fighting panda voiced by Jack Black?”

i’ve always been puzzled by the assertion that Kung Fu Panda baffled and charmed Chinese filmmakers because, like, you’ve seen Chinese movies, right? they have no reason to be impressed by this. and then it turns out that the problem was no, they had NOT seen Chinese movies

Ive heard people say that it came out at a time when chinese films were trying desperately to be copies of western blockbusters instead of embracing their own culture. But looking into when KFP was released, there were still plenty of films about chinese culture released at the time. Red Cliff being one of the biggest one. It really feels like Accented Cinema is just someone who cherry picks data to support his conclusions instead of actually looking at the data

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"

Do not let your child suffer from spicy bananas!

both 30 years old, born on the same day at precisely the same millisecond, but she was born in the state of Arizona which does not observe daylight savings time so one could possibly make the (weak) argument that she's an hour older. problematic age gap?

alright alright how about this other chick. she was born orbiting a black hole and due to relativistic effects currently unexplained by established models we are both 14 million years younger than eachother. help me with the ethics of this

the problem with genetically modified crops is not so much the genetic modification but the patenting of genetic codes (and crops in general) as a tool of maintaining agricultural imperialism, and for this reason I can't talk to most people about GMOs

the way ppl talk about latinas is kind of very gross if I'm being honest

they're like reverse Asians bro they're all stacked and they're fiery mamacitas who you can break like a horse and make into domestic servants who love family

"bro I need a big booty latina" bro I need you to kill yourself

What I am about to say is the hardest thing I have ever written. I stood there frozen, unable to breathe, and I almost collapsed while looking at my sister in front of me, and I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with even a single word and ignores us.

The doctors said severe malnutrition and weakness caused this terrifying moment, and without urgent treatment it could happen again at any time, so I ask, can you help me get treatment for my sister?

I am begging you from the deepest place in my heart—please don’t ignore us in this moment. Donate now if you can, because your donation could be the reason my sister survives.

My sister is still fighting for her life, and every second counts. If you have the means, any small donation can help Esraa’s campaign to save my sister’s life.

Last donation was 22 hours ago

Guys please we need you, don’t leave us alone, help with whatever you can I able, your help make big difference for us and for my sister life
