Hi, there.
I’m wearing a shirt that reads “Kill Me”.
If you saw me at a party or on the street would you promptly murder me?
What about if I had a few drinks? What if I was walking alone at night?
I’m guessing that you wouldn’t if you’re a sane individual.

The cops wouldn’t overlook your crime because of what I’m wearing because that’s silly. I wasn’t literally asking for you to kill me based on my choice of clothing. Who would take that defense seriously?

My friends wouldn’t blame me for being murdered and my killer would be behind bars almost instantly.

So, why is it okay to rape someone because they’re wearing promiscuous clothes? Why does THEIR choice of clothing excuse THEIR attacker?

It doesn’t. You’re silly if you think otherwise.
The less guilt on the attacker. The more guilt on victim.

Stop. Victim. Blaming.

Holy fuck. This guy gets it. 

Yep.

Damn Right.

Yup. Spot on. I hate the suggestion that there’s some mysterious amount of flesh which once displays causes a man to lose control of his ability to not rape someone. What I find particularly disturbing about that idea is that it implies that men are constantly fighting the urge to rape. That men are naturally and instinctively rapists and that women covering themselves up is the only thing that can possibly keep their urges under control. That is just plain bullshit…if you’re a man and you ever find yourself struggling with the urge to rape then you are mentally ill and you need to seek help.

Very very good post

how to cut down on an enormous chunk of illegal downloading, and this is so absurdly simple that it boggles the mind:

• make your show / movie / whatever accessible online. 
• put ads on it so you can make money off of it, or sell a subscription to a competitive streaming service like netflix.
• make it available
• everywhere, meaning the country of origin and everywhere else
• as soon as it airs (tv shows) / becomes legally available to purchase (films &cet).  not a week and a half later, not three days later, not the next morning.  as soon as.   people who are savvy about internet downloading and things are generally going to be the sort of people who hang out online and want to talk about their favorite shows as soon as they happen with their friends who are in that timezone/country.  you’ll cut down on a shitton of downloading if you just make things available legally faster.
• square yourselves with the idea that in this age of high definition and internet streaming that seeing a film in a cinema is a premium service and should not be relied upon as a primary method of distribution.

I think Tumblr needs to come together as one to read and appreciate this “Feminist Ryan Gosling takes on Fassavoy” fic.

Oh shit. That was fantastic.

ugh PERFECTION, like, IAIAIAIA, life is so hard.  :(

• if you’re a vampire or a ghost or something along those lines — you’re forever trapped in whatever body presentation you had when you were transformed— then, okay, it makes sense for you to look sixteen or seventeen or whatever. that said, you still don’t have to pretend that’s your age forever. you’re clearly not seventeen any more; you can get a fake ID made, you can tell everybody you’re twenty-one — I MEAN PEOPLE DO THAT JUST TO GET INTO CONCERTS AND DRINK COME ON — you can live a life that doesn’t involve going to high school as a cover.
• YOU CAN EVEN DATE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS IF THEY HAPPEN TO BE YOUR SOULMATE/YOUR LOVER REINCARNATED/A PLOT POINT. my dad, who is probably a normal non-immortal human, was dating my mother when she was seventeen and in high school and he was in his mid-twenties, and it was fine. it might raise a few eyebrows, but it’s not that weird. sheesh.
• THEREFORE, if you are an immortal who is not restricted to one specific body, if you have to deliberately create a corporeal form, why would you choose to be a high school boy?! you can’t get anything DONE, you can’t buy alcohol in the US, you can’t grow decent facial hair, YOU HAVE TO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL OR FABRICATE SOME VIABLE EXCUSE AS TO WHY YOU DON’T GO. (why don’t more vampires pretend to be homeschooled? IT’S A VIABLE LIFE CHOICE.) I repeat, you can still date or talk to high-school girls if you look, like, twenty-three. and it’s not like the age difference is really going to be any more questionable if you look five to ten years older than her when YOU ARE ALREADY THREE HUNDRED YEARS OLDER ANYWAY.
• I mean. when I was a teenage girl I wasn’t even attracted to teenage boys. and I was awesome. you missed out, immortal dudes. you. missed. out.
• furthermore, why do you so often think and act like high school boys? really prissy, high-minded-yet-boring high school boys much of the time, to be sure (I LOVE CLASSIC LITERATURE AS MUCH AS THE NEXT GEEK BUT CAN’T YOU BOYS GET INTO SPIRITED CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DOUGLAS ADAMS OR HARRY POTTER TOO OR DID YOU JUST HATE EVERYTHING WRITTEN AFTER YOU DIED), but still high school boys. mooning around and not doing anything cool with your immortality and angsting over whether some girl you just met likes you or not and whether she can deal with your ~terrible secret~, thinking like humans, petty and mortal-minded, without offering any gorram reason why you are doing this.
• in fact more often than not you don’t seem to have any actual interests.
• boys, you’ve lived through so much history, if you’re a vampire and have been walking the earth, or you’ve been living in another world, if you’re, say, an ~angel~, this should colour your perceptions of things. no, in ways other than an irritating air of superiority. you’re going to have really weird assumptions or cultural prejudices, you’re going to have an interesting understanding of current events that may result in awkward dinner conversations when you suddenly rant about how this or that conflict has its roots in the Great War or colonialism or the Crusades because you’ve watched the cause and effect chain happen. you may or may not be slow to accept and/or use new technology (it’s entirely possible you could reason that it’s just going to change beyond recognition in another ten years, so why bother?). your taste in music may potentially rival that of the most cultivated hipster’s, because you’ve had the time and opportunity to be into EVERYTHING. you may still be super interested in something that hasn’t been all that cool in a really long time — horse racing, doing the Olympics without clothes on, square dancing, idk — and have tastes for food and clothes that have gotten harder to find. you’re probably going to be really good at reading people, at least superficially, because you’ve had practise. (or you could have got to the point where you overestimate your ability to read people — an immortal would have the hubris to lump all people into basic categories and assume that they’re just going to stay there — and if your teen girl plot point love interest transcends your categories — probably because you’ve been forced to get to KNOW her instead of analysing her from afar — that’s a far more legitimate and interesting reason for you to be ~captivated~ with her than her perfect special normalcy or whatever.)
• why are you never ever connected to your own culture? like, okay, if you’re a vampire and you’ve only been a vampire for fifty years or something, I can see you trying to keep going for a facsimile of humanity, getting various degrees and holding human-type jobs until you have to quit and leave the area before anybody notices you’re not aging. after a hundred years or so, though, that’s probably going to get old. it makes sense that there’d be enough other vampires that you’d have your own way of living — vampire jobs and vampire communities where you could live a fulfilling eternity without having to be in disguise all the time. where you have your own arts and culture, your own way of seeing and talking about things. but no. EVERY DAMN VAMPIRE’S A LONE WOLF WHO’S BEEN WANDERING AROUND FOR THE LAST TWO HUNDRED YEARS OCCASIONALLY BUMPING INTO OTHER, COOLER VAMPIRES AND NOT FINDING ANY FULFILLMENT UNTIL SOME HIGH SCHOOL GIRL BLINDS HIM WITH HER ~ORDINARINESS~. somewhere all of the other vampires are existing like the separate culture they are, and you’re just bumping into stuff like a Roomba.

oh god, this is the best post on my dash right now. whoever you are, you are a beautiful person and should exist forever.

also, everything about this is perfect and what I said years ago! :D

As promised, here’s the Avengers parody (namely of this promo image of the movie) I’d been working on. Those are some strong male characters. Am I right, ladies?

Now wait a day or two and go to my deviantArt  and count the number “OMG/Eye Bleach/Barf!” comments I get from people who wouldn’t have even blinked at the original. ;P

Lookin’ good Thor, lookin’ good

Everything I’ve ever wanted.

O__O

OMG

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I’VE SEEN ALL DAY

Thor’s shiny ass

it’s magnificent

DEAR LORD

I WOULD LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF THIS MOVIE IF EVERY CHARACTER HAD A GLORIOUS ASS SHOT

BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS AN AMAZING ASS IN THIS MOVIE

If the magic reveal isn’t Merlin like completely destroying an army with a wave of his hand and a sassy expression on his face I will be extremely disappointed.

WOOOOORD

(I say this and still think it’s adorable when Merlin accidentally reveals his magic in some totally trivial way in fic, so really I am wording the gifs?)

Dear 53%ers:

Congratulations on all your success. I mean that. But all this “the gov’t never helped me” stuff? Yeah, about that:

- That no-frills State U. education you paid yourself through was so cheap because it was subsidized with tax dollars. The scholarship you earned, same deal.

- The road you drive on to work didn’t magically appear there. It was a gov’t project.

- You’ve likely never been hospitalized for food poisoning. Federal food inspectors do good work.

- Your business has been able to flourish in part thanks to protection from police and fire departments … UNION WORKERS and gov’t employees all.

- The Internet is a wonderful thing that makes wide dissemination of your ideas quick and easy, isn’t it? Yep, another innovation of the bloated, incompetent federal government.

- At this very moment you are paying my salary to defend your right to your poorly-formed opinion and to be callous toward your fellow man. You’re welcome, jerks.

Sincerely,

An American soldier in Afghanistan

This is beautiful.

I do not understand why these concepts are so hard to grasp for some people.

Two words: “Willful blindness.”

OH
