Kitten Night Farts

Something I appreciate about Monkey Man is how doesn't try to frame revenge as just a pointlessly violent, self-destructive pursuit the way many films do. I think it's because Dev Patel was unafraid of adding a political element to the story. The kid wants to avenge his mother, but he also doesn't want what happened to them to keep happening to others. The presence of the hijras really drives this idea home. They fight with him not only because he's their friend, but because Baba and the nationalist party will bring violence literally to their door even if they don't fight back. I often roll my eyes at anti-revenge narratives. I think Dev Patel gets what it's like to be a victim of systematic violence in a way most filmmakers seem not to. Revenge isn't just a selfish pursuit that perpetuates the ~cycle of violence~, it can also be a desperate desire for the violence to end.

So I live next door to a couple (a VERY conservative couple) and their twin boys. The boys can’t be more than 8, and like most kids, they like to play in the back yard. Which is totally fine, doesn’t bother me at all. They’re kids and like to run around. What bothers me though is that they love to throw their toys over into my yard. Alot of toys. Action figures, balls, frisbees, rackets, etc.

Them throwing them over don’t even really bother me that much. What bothers me is that the parents keep demanding that we have to throw them back. They don’t ask, they don’t knock on the door and apologize, they just yell over there fence when they know that we are outside and TELL us to give it back. And that bothers me. They also seem to encourage their kids to throw it over to our yard.

So after Christmas I was at the store and saw that they had a ton of Barbie’s, nail polish, Bratz doll frisbees, and balls on the clearance. I bought 5 of everything I could find that I knew my neighbors would hate seeing their sons play with. Every time an action figure gets thrown over to my yard, I will throw a barbie back with it. Every time a ball gets thrown, a Bratz ball will be returned. I already threw a couple nail polishes over and the twins went crazy. They loved it. They’ve had pink, purple, and green nails all week.

It’s been 2 days and not a single action figure has crossed my fence. More importantly, not a single rude demand from the parents to return them. The kids are having fun, and I have pretty revenge.

coco chanel was a nazi

i say this with no hyperbole whatsoever

she literally worked for the nazis and benefitted from jewish shareholders in chanel being sent off to concentration camps when their share came into her possession

parisian consumers actually refused to buy a lot from her own ranges after 1940 because she was an infamous collaborator but british and american consumers kept on buying them and continue to glorify her

that’s nice

this is a good review of the book where this is explained:

“Gabrielle Chanel — better known as Coco — was a wretched human being. Anti-Semitic, homophobic, social climbing, opportunistic, ridiculously snobbish and given to sins of phrase-making like “If blonde, use blue perfume,” she was addicted to morphine and actively collaborated with the Germans during the Nazi occupation of Paris. And yet, her clean, modern, kinetic designs, which brought a high-society look to low-regarded fabrics, revolutionized women’s fashion, and to this day have kept her name synonymous with the most glorious notions of French taste and élan.”

And she’s still hailed as a “Feminist icon”  by white women. 

Shit… File this under: “shit I didn’t know but does not surprise me in the least”

WAIT there’s a good ending to this–Coco Chanel originally was business partners with a Jewish family, the Wertheimers. She tried to screw them over, but they were too damn smart for that, so they gave their shares to a dude named Amiot, went to NYC in 1940, and then came back later. Today the company is still owned by the Wertheimer family.

This Jewish family now owns the entire legacy of Coco Chanel plus all the money from the company and if that isn’t one of the best revenge stories I don’t know what is.

Ayyyyyyyyy <3

At least now when you buy chanel its funding a jewish family’s revenge against a nazi.

i dont really like country but i do love those country songs where the women murder their abusers

Goodbye Earl by the Dixie Chicks fuck yea

isn’t that like the only one bc if there is more i need to hear them

i haven’t listened to country since i was a kid but this one’s for the girls by martina mcbride is iconic and i get it stuck in my head sometimes

Gunpowder and Lead by Miranda Lambert. She shoots her abuser with a shotgun 💕

“Blown Away” by Carrie Underwood is about a woman letting her abusive, alcoholic dad die in a tornado.

independence day by martina mcbride is also about someone lighting their abusive husband on fire.

I feel like done by the band perry, while a bit less explicit, is in this same vein

Ghostbusters belongs to little girls now. It’s what you assholes deserve for trying to take My Little Pony away from them.

LMAOOOOOO

I see no lie here

YOOOOOOOO

This woman confronts racism in the funniest way possible.

I have long said that in order for any comedy to truly succeed as a story, there has to be meat beneath the jokes. There has to be that moment when it is not funny any more.

This. This is that moment.

#honestly even though this is one of the best scripts there ever has been  #that is the greatest line  #it’s /groundbreaking/ in terms of how it frames vengeance quests; temptation beats; inigo as a comedic figure throughout the movie  #you know because this is a happy book (film) that inigo will get his revenge  #but will he get JUSTICE  #will he get ABSOLUTION  #will he get CATHARSIS  #those are the things we don’t know  #and that line sells it more than any of the previous scene (x)

Woah

well he really should have worn more protective clothing if he didn’t want that to happen sounds to me like he was asking for it

Are we really sure he was actually shot and decapitated? Idk, sounds like something he would’ve made up. Guys make false decapitation accusations all the time, you know. 

If he didn’t want to be decapitated, he shouldn’t have worn a shirt that showed off his neck

I mean, not all woman decapitate people. I’m not like that.

Was he alone? He shouldn’t have been alone. I mean what was he expecting?

Rape has become endemic in South Africa, so a medical technician named Sonette Ehlers developed a product that immediately gathered national attention there. Ehlers had never forgotten a rape victim telling her forlornly, “If only I had teeth down there.”

Some time afterward, a man came into the hospital where Ehlers works in excruciating pain because his penis was stuck in his pants zipper.

Ehlers merged those images and came up with a product she called Rapex. It resembles a tube, with barbs inside. The woman inserts it like a tampon, with an applicator, and any man who tries to rape the woman impales himself on the barbs and must go to an emergency room to have the Rapex removed.

When critics complained that it was a medieval punishment, Ehlers replied tersely, “A medieval device for a medieval deed.”

A medieval device for a medieval deed - yes.

This is perfect

BLESS THIS PERSON

I BOW TO THIS INTENTION

Can we talk about how beautifully this turns rape culture on its head? Instead of “If they weren’t dressed like that they wouldn’t have been raped” THIS IS LITERALLY “IF THEY HADN’T TRIED TO RAPE SOMEONE THEY  WOULDN’T HAVE SPIKES IN THEIR DICK”*

That bold bit~

reblogging for the rape culture comment omFG AMEN TO YOU 

good.

yes

Lmmmmaaaaooo

BUT HE DIED THE SAME DAY HURRICANE SANDY STARTED

…that’s kind of the point…

is this from that ‘send your enemies glitter’ thing?

On the keyboard really? Lol

The story behind the gif: the guy wouldn’t stop opening his daughter’s mail so she mailed “herself” a glitter bomb to teach him a lesson

serves that shitlord right

By the way it’s illegal to open someone else’s mail in America

This is what happens when you make laws about women’s bodies and give parental rights to rapists. This woman had every right to do what she did.

There’s no toying with her honor now, that’s what I call justice.
