throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!
WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's
and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.
we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.
all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?
it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!
Black people will never stop talking about this, but when we are on sites such as Tumblr, where so many of the white people feel that not only are they not racist, but that calling their racist behavior racist is emotional warfare on them, they will make sure to keep Black voices as silenced as possible.
Also, a lot of the Black people who got deleted or run off of the site weren't even accused of any type of Russian anything. A lot of them were just run the fuck off by the white Tumblr base on harassment shit.
A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipi
The Trump administration wants to make a rule change that would decrease or end benefits for SSI recipients who live with their family. As many as 400,000 disabled people may have their benefits cut if this rule change occurs.
It's worth noting as always that as things currently stand, the MAXIMUM benefit a person can receive from SSI is $994 a month.
If two people on SSI are married, the MAXIMUM they can receive is $1,491 a month, total, for both of them. (Meaning marriage to another SSI recipient reduces your maximum income possible to $745 a person each month.)
Could you live on that?
Could you live on that without living with family?
The administration is working on a rule change that would deduct the value of a disabled adult’s bedroom from their SSI allotment, even if the family members they live with are poor enough to qualify for food stamps. This would mean slashing the benefits of some of the most low-income SSI recipients by up to a third — about $330 a month in Burton’s case — or ending their support altogether. The SSI rule change is being reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget, a process that involves editing the draft regulation and considering where it falls on the list of the president’s priorities. Once it’s returned to the Social Security Administration for initial publication, there will be an opportunity for public comment; it could take until next year to be finalized, depending on the amount of opposition it faces. (quote from article above)
AND IT NEEDS TO FACE A LOT OF OPPOSITION, SO CALL AGAIN!!
im gonna look up contact info for the office of management and budget staff, White House Budget Director Russell Vought, and Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. Bombard them. no peace for em.
And they're going after disabled people cause they think A, no one will fight for them and B, they're too weak to fight for themselves.
Heat waves.
Dino people, I am abusing my blogging power to ask a critical question. The image below is a reconstruction of Sue, the T-Rex skeleton at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. This replica is considered to be accurate based on what we know thus far.
My question is this: How do we know this is the correct size of her eyes? Is it based on the size of her skull or something else?
They can see how big the eye sockets are from the skull. Also, most dinosaurs had bones called scleral rings, which are bones inside the eyeball. I don't know if we have any examples of T. rex that preserved them, but we do have other therapods.
(The info page is by @alithographica )
I'm reblogging again to add that this means that we know how big their pupils are, since the hole in the scleral ring is only a little bigger than the pupil.
It's also how we know that most dinosaurs had round pupils. It's pretty common for people to depict dinosaurs with slit pupils, probably because of Jurassic Park, mostly because it looks really cool, but nope, they were round. There are very few, if any, birds with slit pupils, which is further evidence for round pupils. And most extant animals with slit pupils are on the small side. Many people think of cats having slit pupils, and they do, but it's the little ones. Lions and tigers have round pupils, because slit pupils are most useful closest to the ground and they actually sacrifice some of their visually acuity for the sake of being better at judging distances in low-light conditions, and most animals with them are ambush predators that jump out at their prey. You ever seen a video where someone throws or bounces a ball towards a cat and it bops them on the head and they seem surprised? That's why; they struggle to track where the ball is going, especially horizontally. So for anything over a certain size, slit pupils are a detriment, especially if they chase down prey.
And yeah, if you've ever seen a scientific source say that a certain species of dinosaur hunted at night and wondered how the hell we could possibly know that, this is how. Their eyeball bones.

Two Utah court clerks have been dubbed "anti-ICE vigilantes" after they were allegedly caught "sneaking" immigrants out the back door of the
That's how you show real solidarity!
"After they overheard that ICE was at the courthouse to arrest someone, they improperly accessed court databases to determine who was not born in the United States," a DOJ detention filing says. "They then snuck every suspected illegal alien who was at the courthouse out a back door, where ICE, who was waiting in the parking lot for their target to leave the building, could not see them."
Think about what you can do at your job or in your daily life to resist fascism when the opportunity presents itself!

and this part might make some people's head explode but: characters can be written to forgive things you personally wouldn't ever forgive. not everything is written as what you'd perceive to be the right choice. not everything is a self-insert & protagonists don't have to be relatable.
They semi-cancelled Timothee Chalamet for simply saying he found opera and ballet boring, by the way.
How does Hollywood work these days?
Being a bit of a naive, foolish young man and (wrongfully) calling opera and ballet irrelevant?
“You must apologise immediately! No Oscar for you.”
Acknowledging you stole terrified teenage girls from their bedrooms?
“Eh, you get a pass.”
Kidnapping teenage girls seems kind of worse than being stupid and uncultured, in the grand scheme of things.
”Well, Tim is dating a Kardashian sister.”
Embarrassing as it is, this other man admitted to war crimes.
Even humans start to act super weird when isolated even for a month or so and Rocky was alone in Blip-A for 50 years and then alone with an alien for a while. His behaviour should be unhinged.
Things Rocky does when he got back from Adrien that weirds out other Eridians:
He (subconsciously) picked a facet of his body as his "face" and turns it sometimes to orient towards people or objects he's paying a lot of attention to or concentrating on.
That thing I've seen Chinese people on social media discuss where they use their own characters to reproduce an English word phonetically, with the actual meaning being a fun sidepoint. Rocky reproducing his closest approximation of words without existing Eridian equivalents (relativity, caffeine, all the colours) that sound like gibberish or odd mashes of existing Eridian terms.
Thumbs up (down)
Making "random" components of structures transparent for no apparent reason (Grace can't be here, Grace will never be in this part of Erid, but if he were, he'd be able to see)
The Eridian word for "See" is probably something to do with detecting light. Rocky would use this odd, scientific phrase the way a human uses "Oh, I see!" to mean "Oh, I understand." Like someone saying "I've used a Geiger counter to verify the radioactivity of this abstract concept" when they mean, "I get it."
You need to be Silent when watching someone sleep because you could wake them up. A completely incomprehensible idea to Eridians.
You discovered it, you get to name it! No, actually you're Not allowed to call the new molecule "Low Friction, high thermal stability two-parts-carbon-to-four-parts-fluorine" try naming it after your pebble!
1, 2, 3, eyes on me! (Eyes being another phonetically assimilated word)
Odd, overly clear accent. To make sure the software translated his words properly, Rocky was probably taking special care to perfectly reproduce words in the exact same inflection every time, no slurring or mumbling his way through.
i think the thing about batman's no kill rule is that its essentially bruce saying "guilty people don't deserve to be murdered on the street either, actually." and he's not wrong.
#batman's no kill rule has so many good layers and so few people want to engage with it beyond 'I think it's dumb'#and that includes actual batman writers who have given the stupidest reasons for its existence#like there's the logistical level#if batman starts killing then he is going to have more problems dealing with the law and public opinion than he already has#then there's the personal checks and balances level#bruce is already a fuckoff wealthy genius if he starts killing that's an additional layer of power he has to trust himself with#i think there are similar reasons behind why he never tries to take public office or start his own 'criminal' syndicate to push out others#so THAT is the level where it works as a cautionary 'don't become like them' thing because bruce is already too powerful#and too fixated on controlling things. if he gives himself additional leeway to take more power & control he's gonna lose it#like someone who knows they've got an addictive personality refusing to even touch cigarettes or slot machines because haha NO#then there's the ethical level of people don't deserve to be killed on the street#and also batman specifically doesn't *want* to kill#like yeah maybe in the moment he gets mad enough at the joker or someone that he could kill them#but in general part of the whole reason he does this is because he doesn't want people to die he wants them to get help#and in a super hero and villains universe part of meeting ppl where they're at is putting on a costume and solving their death puzzle

Okay so walk with me.
Shane Hollander presents omega late, like 17 years old late. It's fucking traumatic for him and he isn't expecting it to happen because both of his parents are betas and betas tend to have beta kids. Shane is competing in the Major Juniors. Shane is practically being promised first draft pick in the NHL. Shane knows what his life is going to look like.
Then he's an Omega and the world fucking ends. His billet mom takes him to the emergency room in the middle of the night and a well-meaning doctor says "Nothing to worry about, you're having a heat, welcome to secondary puberty, congratulations" and Shane goes non verbal for two days.
So Shane gets to Regina knowing that this will be his last competition with Team Canada or the Major Juniors because the men's teams split after 18 and the league already isn't completely happy to have an Omega on their starting line, never mind that said omega was practically their prince three months ago, when he was a beta. The Alphas on the team are already weird about him. There's one other omega on the team, a fifteen year old kid, and that kid hates Shane's guts because--well it's because Shane is a better hockey player, to be fucking honest, and the MOHL (Male Omegas Hockey League) is already breathing down Shane's fucking neck. They have never had a generational talent like Shane Hollander in the MOHL. Shane, who more than anything in this entire goddamn life just wants to play hockey, knows what a hot commodity he is to the MOHL and knows that he will be the second coming of Christ for the league. He is also so fucking angry about it that even the mention of draft day makes him want to spit.
So that's the energy that he's coming at Rozanov with outside the rink in Regina. He says, "You're a great player to watch," and by that he means, I've spent the last year watching tape of you and now that's all fucking useless. This is the only time we'll ever compete against each other. Literally FUCK my entire life.
Shane says, "You're not supposed to smoke here," and by that he means, Why are you smoking? Do you understand that you're going to be living the life that should be mine? The one I've spent ten years preparing myself for? The one yanked away from me by fucking biology??
And Rozanov looks up from his cigarette and says, "Okay."
Shane goes red and says, "Dude, you could at least pretend like this shit matters to you. They're gonna draft you in the summer."
Rozanov shrugs. "They will draft you too, Shane Hollander."
"The NHL! The fucking NHL is going to draft you. Probably first. Fuck."
Rozanov shrugs. "Yes, probably. No reason not to. Not now."
Shane sees red. "Fuck you."
Ilya sweeps his gaze up and down Shane's body and Shane feels new parts of himself light up.
"My parents are waiting for me," Shane grounds out. "Sorry."
"Sorry for?" Rozanov says. "For being rude? Is fine. Was cute."
Shane thinks maybe he wants to gut him like a fish. Or kiss him. With a fist or otherwise. These fucking omega hormones. His mom has promised he can go on suppressants the minute he turns eighteen but until then it's literally illegal in Canada and Shane's life is suffering.
"For the fucking beating we're gonna hand you," Shane grounds out.
Rozanov shrugs. "We will see."
In the handshake line, Rozanov grabs Shane's hand too tightly and leans in too close to say, "See you at the draft," and Shane thinks No you won't because the MOHL draft is the day before the NHL draft and the NHL, hopefuls and otherwise, are not known for their attendance of Omega league events. Nevermind that they're technically supposed to. Never mind that the leagues are suppose to function as two sides of the same coin. The NHL does what the NHL wants and the MOHL does what the NHL wants too. It's always been this way.
Ilya Rozanov is not going to show up to the fucking MOHL draft. On what fucking planet would that even happen.
Shane thinks this right up until he is drafted first pick of the 2009 MOHL draft to fucking Boston, because the Raiders traded their star center to New York the previous season in exchange for first pick in both the MOHL and the NHL. This was shortly after one Shane Hollander announced his new designation.
And Ilya Rozanov is smirking down at him from a balcony while Shane holds up the jersey for the Boston Bayonets and tries to pretend that the MOHL is what he dreamed of when he was a kid.
The next day, the Raiders draft Rozanov. They're going to Boston.
There's characters I think are fun to read as trans masc for my own enjoyment, characters I enjoy building a case *to* read as trans masc, one or two rare characters I genuinely think can be theorized to *be* canonically trans masc
And then there's Heinz Doofenshmirtz, who i do not believe was ever at any point intended to be canonically a trans man, but somehow the evidence is against him.
#if only he would make the voice deepinator... #would definitely steal that.
Oh no no Dr. Doofenshmirtz goes the other route. He makes his dysphoria everyone ELSES problem.
"Voice-Inator", purpose, "makes everyone elses voice higher, making his seem lower by comparison". Honestly incredible. It's trans AND its evil
Then we have the Bread-Inator, which doesn't SEEM trans coded since it just turns whatever it hits into Bread, but.
"He plans to destroy the statue of Rutherford B. Hayes, the U.S. President with the best beard of them all, by turning it into bread, which will then be eaten by a swarm of hungry magpies that Doof has ready to release. The plan arose because Doofenshmirtz was jealous of people who could grow facial hair and he couldn't."
VERY NEXT EPISODE, Ugly-inator, expressly because of self image problems. Which should be noted he later does again with a handsome setting, which makes him typically masculine-handsome temporarily.
Ballgown-inator, EXPRESSLY to make himself "look manlier in comparison". Really can't state enough he is making his dysphoria EVERYONE'S problem, in true mad scientist fashion.
I didn't even remember this one I'm just scrolling trying to find the moustache one.
Also when he gets turned into a were-cow he has udders. I'm not even hitting backstories this is just off the phineas and ferb wiki entry for -inators.
Okay found the moustache-inator, which ironically enough he's just using because he thinks it's funny to put giant mustaches on people, but the "resents not growing facial hair" tells me this is definitely at least PARTIALLY personal use, cmon now.
And that's the one I was finding so I'm not checking the rest of the -inators, and again this isn't even getting into his.
Extensive childhood backstories.
Again I don't think its intentional on the creators parts just. Gestures in a circle. At a certain point. At a CERTAIN point.
Remember that TCW arc of Obi-Wan going through extensive plastic surgery that not only recreates someone else's appearance perfectly but is also 100% reversible?
The technology seems well-established, reliable, and available. So, does this mean video or other visual evidence, even testimonies are useless in court to convict someone of crime? You can argue that someone stole your face.
Remember when Attack Of The Clones revealed that the Star Wars universe has shapeshifters and then does nothing with that? It never occurred to me to question the tremendous implications for both the rebellion and the empire in parts 4-6 until Darths And Droids pointed it out (I saw it in theaters, so I would have been 11 or 12) but like that's a pretty big deal, right? Your side has access to the absolute perfect spies and assassins, but so does your opposition? And the empire probably has more of them if for no reason other than having more resources to offer?
I'm sure there's plenty of EU content exploring the idea, and I suppose there's no reason it would have to impact the plot of the OT. It just feels like a weird detail to be a footnote
Force Signatures are unique! And there ARE more force Sects then just the jedi. And more folks then the Force Sects, who never join on. It's a spectrum. Problem is range? And whether or not you know the guy? But even a perfect shapeshifter can't get past the Vibe Check. It's one of the reasons assassins hated Jedi so much. They could, assuming they were PAYING ATTENTION, go ( ≖ - ≖) hmmmm *lightsaber noise* you do NOT, in fact, appear to be the little ol lady I was just talking too...
So, as long as you got someone with particularly reliable Gut Vibes? You could probably clock um. But only close up. Other wise you'd need a jedi or something... which is, uh, kind of a problem.
things I’ve noticed in the UK:
- when you’re jay walking, cars will actively accelerate bc the drivers want to kill you for breaking the rules
- servers in restaurants act very scared and apologetic, so maybe people aren’t nice to them here??? or I could be terrifying
- it’s really cute when little kids have British accents, but I’m unmoved by adults with accents
- extremely good gluten free options. this country is like 20 years ahead of Canada in that regard
- people will give random insignificant buildings names with little plaques. and then that’s the name that shows up on the map. like even a smaller than average family home, you can name it like it’s a dog
- lots of brick and stone buildings. looks cute and charming until you enter one and there’s no air conditioning
- people are still wearing jaguar print. I like this. don’t let it die
ohhh okay! amendment: cars will actively try to kill you for being small and made of flesh, instead of cool and metal like them
stop inventing shit to be insecure about oh my god
like i’m actually so sick of it i’m two days from pulling my hair out and screaming in the walmart parking lot about how fake the constructs of our society are like you don’t have to do any of this shit you can have a fine and content life doing shit the way you want to do it oh my GOD you don’t need to have glass skin or have a 6 figure salary or try to find a house in the city or have a baby or try to get a promotion or whatever the hell else people told you makes for a happy life you can work at the library or pool forever if it makes you happy you can be single forever if it makes you happy have whatever the fuck kind of skin or hair or clothes you like having on your body have whatever the fuck kind of body you want this shit is MADE UP!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND NOT CONTINUALLY STRIVE FOR MORE AND MORE!!!!!!!!!

This is about the sexiness of The Golden Girls but I really feel the need to remind the world of how fucking progressive this show was.
In the episode 72 hours, we find out Rose may have contracted AIDs during an emergency gallbladder surgery.
Rose: Why me, Blanche? I'm tired of pretending I feel okay so you won't say, 'Take it easy', and I'm tired of you saying 'Take it easy' because you're afraid I'm going to fall apart. Dammit, why is this happening to me? I mean, this isn't supposed to happen to people like me. You must've gone to bed with hundreds of men. All I had was one innocent operation. Blanche: Hey, wait a minute! Are you saying this should be me and not you? Rose: No! No, I'm just saying that I am a good person. Hell, I'm a goody-two-shoes! Blanche: AIDS is not a bad person's disease, Rose, it is not God punishin' people for their sins!
In Isn't it romantic? we find out Dorothy's childhood best friend is a lesbian who recently lost her partner. She confesses she has feelings for Rose. Rose turns her down but makes it clear that she still wants to be friends even though she doesn't return those feelings.
Sophia: Jean is a nice person. She happens to like girls instead of guys. Some people like cats instead of dogs.
Jean: Rose, about last night. I should never have said anything. Rose: You only said what you were feeling. Jean: It's just that this last year has been so difficult for me. Pat was the person I planned to spend the rest of my life with. And when she died, I just felt so terribly alone. Empty. I thought I could never care for anyone again. Until I met you. I just got very confused. I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable. Rose: Well, I have to admit that I don't understand these kinds of feelings. But if I did understand, if I were, you know, like you, I'd be very flattered and proud that you thought of me that way.
Ebbtide's Revenge gives us Phil's funeral, and Sophia addressing him wearing women's clothes.
Rose: So what if he was different? It's okay that you loved him. Sophia: I did love him. He was my son, my little boy. But every time I saw him I wondered what I did, what I said, when was the day I did whatever I did to make him the way he was. Angela Petrillo: What he was Sophia, was a good man.
Sister of the Bride, where Blanche's brother Clayton brings his boyfriend to town, because they're planning on getting married.
Blanche: Oh, look, I can accept the fact that he's gay, but why does he have to slip a ring on this guy's finger so the whole world will know? Sophia: Why did you marry George? Blanche: We loved each other. We wanted to make a lifetime commitment. Wanted everybody to know. Sophia: That's what Doug and Clayton want, too. Everyone wants someone to grow old with. And shouldn't everyone have that chance?
There are so many episodes I could sit here and quote but this show is still so important. It isn't perfect, there are jokes that definitely don't land that I will not sit here and defend, but in the context of when it was created? This show is a fucking masterpiece and deserves respect for that.
And this was during the Reagan/Bush years.
I think that this show hit as hard as it did because it was during Reagan/Bush
hey duck
