Natalie Portman Had The Last Name Of Every Female Director That Wasn’t Nominated Embroidered Into The

When I was a kid, the “Oh my god, you got so big!” comment from grown-ups used to really annoy me, because it felt broadly infantilising. But now, as an adult myself, I realise it had very little to do with me, and almost everything to do with said grown-up feeling suddenly attacked by the passage of time, yet not wanting to blurt out “shit, fuck, I just pissed away like four years of my life without noticing, then, huh?” in front of an 8-year-old.

When people say white privilege doesn’t exist, use today as an example.

January 6th, 2021 will forever be #ExhibitA

“Para un habitante de Nueva York, París, o Londres, la muerte es la palabra que jamás se pronuncia porque quema los labios. El mexicano, en cambio, la frecuenta, la burla, la acaricia, duerme con ella, la festeja, es uno de sus juguetes favoritos y su amor más permanente. Cierto, en su actitud hay quizá tanto miedo como en la de otros; más al menos no se esconde ni la esconde; la contempla cara a cara con impaciencia, desdén o ironía: ‘si me han de matar mañana, que me maten de una vez’.” - Octavio Paz (El Laberinto de la Soledad, 1950)

Someone told my ex-dad (not a sex thing; he just disowned me) that I’m trans and now he’s threatening to come to work and make a scene, and I know I should be upset, but like. What’s he gonna say exactly? And to whom? Because imagining a haggard and likely shitfaced Pennsylvania construction worker barging through the grocery store like, “HEY!!! THAT BROAD-HIPPED 5'3” EFFEMINATE KID WITH THE CONSPICUOUSLY BIZARRE NAME WHO SPEAKS IN A CARTOONISHLY AFFECTED CARICATURE OF MASCULINITY AIN’T GOT NO DICK!!! YOU GONNA BUY SCRATCH OFF TICKETS FROM SOME KINDA DICKLESS ABOMINATION??“ is wild. What’s it going to accomplish? Or is he gonna call my manager? “HELLO, I’D LIKE TO REPORT A FRAUD IN YOUR DELI DEPARTMENT. THERE IS NOT SAUSAGE AS ADVERTISED.” What the fuck.

“follow me home if you dare too…perilous night, their voices calling, a flicker of light, before the dawning… but at least we have beautiful ghosts”

I put the snippets of Beautiful Ghosts together and I can already tell it’s the song of the century

On June 1st 2022, Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day, John Christopher Depp II won a defamation lawsuit proving his innocence, and rightfully condemning his abuser. Today is a good day.

Cheers to everyone who fought for the truth, may this be the start of a new chapter in the lives of victims and their journey to justice.

People horrifically fucking up facts about evolution and genetics too support their stupid beliefs or to seem smart and “rational” is probably one of my big pet peeves

My issue with Camila's apology is that 6 years ago in 2013 a website published screenshots of her calling Normani the n-word and of problematic/racist stuff she published on her 1D stan account and she "apologized" in a tweet BUT months later she did it again and the same website called her out, this time she called Dinah Jane “ghetto fabulous,” called Barack Obama the n-word on her 1D account, and new screenshots of her calling Normani the n-word in a casual text conversation surfaced, plus this tweet:

Now, let's look at the "apology" back then:

Let's look at yesterday's apology about her tumblr posts:

Notice something? It's basically the same thing, but longer.

I think cancel culture has gotten out of control as people have both the ability and the right to grow, learn and change, and cancel culture does not allow that, but what irks me is that Camila's apology doesn't read as genuine because as you can see she repeated the same excuse disguised as an apology that she used 6 years ago and back then it wasn't long until she went back to her, and I quote, "immature and ignorant behaviour".

It’s not that Camila is necessarily a bad person or that she definitely hasn’t learned anything from her past mistakes, but as an increasingly-famous public figure, she has a responsibility to publicly acknowledge why her actions were inherently wrong and to give her fans more than an excuse. And given that she apologized shallowly before she needs to show she means it, that this is not another half-ass apology like in 2013.

Camila's albums are good and I'd like for her to show the growing she likes to talk about so much.

Me saying that people should look at the sexualisation and pedophilia present in western media with the same lens they do with anime is not me defending it in anime as a medium it’s me saying that a lot of people fall back on orientalist and racist critiques of anime and while turning a blind eye to all pop culture of the West like… Indiana Jones himself is a pedophile who dated a teenager and has a child with her and he’s a pop culture icon… but where are the critiques
