Reblog if you hate nazis.

A birthday worth celebrating

My disdain for cops is institutional, not individual. Just because you may have a positive personal relationship with someone who is a cop doesn’t change the fact that the law enforcement system in this country is rooted in white supremacy and is used to repress and control the working class while protecting the elite.

All cops have signed up to enforce a system which is oppressing marginalized people in this country on a daily basis. Your personal relationship with an agent of oppression does not change this fact.

I've decided to do less thinking

What for

Mental health

Everyone: Patton caused the creativitwins split

Me, an intellectual: The creativitwins created Patton so he could tell them which one of them gets to wear black

Patton: Hello! Who am I?

Roman: Hello. You are Morality and…

Remus: HE’S AN ASS

Roman: What no he…

Patton: Hm. I may only be three minutes old but I do not approve of the green guy over here.

Remus: Balls! I get to wear black!

Roman: Oh, shoot.

Patton: *puts his full hand on a lit stove* What’s this?

Virgil: *shows up and pushes him over*

Patton: Hm. I don’t like that one either.

Patton: So I am…

Logan: Thomas’ sense of right and wrong on an emotional level.

Patton: So I decide what is good when facts don’t work.

Logan: I suppose.

Patton: So I make decisions! Fun! I will make a decision now. You are my friend. You are good. Ramen is also very good.

Logan: Actually ramen has a level of sodium that could be harmful in the long…

Patton: Pizza is even better.

Logan: No I don’t think you understand…

Patton: No I understand perfectly what my feelings are about pizza, Logic. Trust me. I know.

Thomas: …

Thomas: Why am I suddenly craving pizza

Roman: Aren’t you curious about why you exist?

Patton: Oh, not really kiddo. You realized that thinking can’t get you out of everything, right? You needed a dad present to keep you all out of trouble.

Roman: I suppose.

Patton: And I don’t like your brother.

Roman: Well technically none of us are actually…

Patton: *holds up a knife* Is this edible?

Virgil, from the next room: YOU’D BETTER NOT BE DOING WHAT I THINK YOU’RE DOING

Patton: *slowly puts knife back on the counter*

Patton: *whispers* He’s kind of a debbie downer isn’t he?

Roman: *whispers back* You have no idea.

Hi I would die for this Patton no questions asked

He wouldn’t want you to. He’s only a day old but he has all the knowledge he needs and that knowledge is that he wants everyone to be safe.

PROTECT HIM BEFORE HE KNOWS THINGS

PRESERVE HIS INNOCENCE

You’ve seen the series. You know what happened after this lol

Yes but it doesn’t have to

There is a universe where Thomas goes to the callback

Not in my fanfiction. In my fanfiction the events of this post happen exactly two days before the first canon episode and then the entirety of the end of Character Thomas’ young adulthood unfurls in a glorious mess.

thomas got a sense of morality three years ago 😔👊(/j)

No he developed a weird coping mechanism three years ago. The others are like a month older than Patton tops.

the best thing about pacific rim is that it's a film about the power of love in all its forms and how humanity's ability to work together and communicate with each other is our greatest strength, but it's also a film about a giant robot beating the shit out of a sea monster with a laser cannon, a boat, knuckledusters made from cargo containers and a chainsaw sword to the sexiest bass lines ever used in cinema

every character in dracula will realize they’re in immediate physical danger and then be like hold on lemme make a note of this in my diary real quick

to my black followers,

i love you, you are important, your life matters. and i’m so sorry for how america, and the world treats you.

Sorry boys I’m gonna stand with the ladies on this one

show yourself

tell me a pretty thing.

In Uzbek we have this concept of the divine dark, the darkness from which all things came. So there’s this idea that shows up in a lot of our literature that when the world was first made it was like a gentle night, peaceful, quiet and pitch-black. The night is when creation started and the night is when you’re closest to glimpsing what it was like at the very start of the world.

oh wow that's gorgeous.

Psst, hey, Marilyn Monroe’s image as a freewheeling sexpot was a carefully constructed lie. The real Marilyn Monroe was a roiling tragedy and her life was an indictment of our society as a whole. She was orphaned after her mother had a schizophrenic breakdown, bounced around between foster homes where she was sexually abused, and married a 21-year-old at 16 to get out of being sent to an orphanage. Hugh Hefner published nude photos of her without her consent that were taken when she was 23 and desperate. She suffered severe anxiety and depression, which she coped with by drinking and using barbiturates, and was already a full-blown addict when she became famous in the mid-50s. Her career was one of exploitation, condescension and alienation, and she killed herself at 36. That Hugh Hefner, a man who was at best an unpleasant footnote in her life, felt entitled to be buried next to her is one more humiliation in a pop cultural landscape we should all be ashamed of.

“Please don’t make me a joke… I don’t mind making jokes, but I don’t want to look like one… I want to be an artist, an actress with integrity..”

 - Marilyn Monroe, last taped interview, days before her death

She deserved better than this

Can I just also say, in addition to all this, that I’m still pissed off about the fact that Joe DiMaggio swooped in and gave Marilyn a Christian funeral before her Rabbi could return from a trip overseas? ‘Cause that shit is fucked up.

So many men who claimed to be in love with her, and not one could fucking respect her wishes, even in death.

Also:

As one of the biggest Ella Fitzgerald fans, she literally helped desegregate her performances. Ella was not allowed to play at Mocambo because of her race.

ALSO:

A L S O , I will never forget watching a documentary about her once and, speaking about her marriage with Arthur Miller, the narrator said, verbatim: “America’s Brain had married America’s Body”. Like, literally, because he was a famous writer, he was entitled to personhood; she, being an actress, and a beautiful woman, was reduced to being “a body”. I have never been more enraged with her portrayal in the media. If you want to be dismissive of her,  literally come for you.

She was also chronically ill her whole life: she suffered from endometriosis with pain so debilitating that a clause was written into her contracts accounting for the days when she would not physically be able to work during her periods.

She was on courses of strong medication, had invasive surgery to try and limit the damage caused, and despite trying for a baby numerous times, suffered many miscarriages because of her condition. The miscarriages especially sent her into deep depression, since she desperately wanted to be a mother.

There is speculation that the condition may have been one of the triggers in her drug dependency as well, because when you have endo, you will take whatever you can to stop. it. hurting.

Marilyn Monroe was smart and strong as hell in a world that saw her as a sexy doll and nothing more.

She deserves better

Marilyn was a founding member of the Hollywood branch of the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy and had lifelong left-wing political views with a particular emphasis on racial equality. She formed her own independent production company that survived for several years and earned a credit as an executive producer on several films. Additionally, she was not only concerned for workers rights, she acted for them, using her own fame to stop staff being unfairly sacked from several of her films. She was a loyal, kind woman and her early death remains a great tragedy. Worse still, as OP notes, is the co-opting of her image by exactly the sort of people she would have loathed in life.
