kids these days with their favorite character as their lockscreens… when I was a youth you had to carefully arrange all your favorite anime pictures on a word document and print it out to carefully slip inside the plastic sleeve of your three ring binder
In black and white because our parents would get mad if we used the color ink
Why is Ocean’s 8 getting so much credit for “lesbian” content? It’s 2018, Pride month no less, and we’re still out here celebrating queer subtext?
Uhuh
Man, I was so fucking disappointed when I saw the film, because people on tumblr were straight up saying that Lou and Debbie are girlfriends. Ship them all you want, but this isn’t queer representation? It was still a bunch of straight white women with their token POC, collect-one-of-each-colour cast.
I liked the movie well enough, but if they do another, they’re going to have to work a lot harder to win me over, because this ain’t going to cut it.
This exactly. Very tired of crediting straight white women for doing nothing. They didn’t make anything canon queer so they wouldn’t alienate homophobic people and get their homophobic cash but then they’ll amp up the queer lady subtext in after the fact interviews so queer fandom feels like they’re somehow a winner of…nothing really. This isn’t something to celebrate, this is convenient exploitation and it should at least irritate you.
I feel like it is, in part, a side-effect of fandom becoming more mainstream and acceptable. Creators are interacting so much more with fans and learning how we respond to media, and they’re trying to talk to us like we talk to each other, when we’re gushing about ships and headcanons…except when the creators do this, it is radically different from us doing it, because they have the potential to make it canon, and they AREN’T. They’re trying to appeal to our fannish desires and gain our approbation, without actually following through on any of it. I find it pretty heinous, the way, for example, JK Rowling tries to pander to minority groups after the fact by saying “Dumbledore was gay” or “Hermione can be black” instead of, you know, making it canon in the books.
It’s particularly disappointing in something like Ocean’s 8, which was already going to be pissing off a portion of potential audience by the mere fact that it was remaking a previously male-centric cast with it’s female-centric one, which we know from other all-female remakes brings out the asshole man babies. So frankly, having one or two queer characters wouldn’t have been pushing the envelope that much. It didn’t even need to have much more than a couple throw-away lines, since the movie focused on the heist and platonic female relationships more than anything else. Though, given that Danny and Tess’s relationship (and Rusty and Isabel’s) is fairly important to the plots of the first two films, having a romantic side plot wouldn’t have been out of place.
Nope, this is the height of laziness wanting credit for being the opposite.
If your job ad has a minimum requirement of 3 or more years experience, do. not. list. it. as. entry. level.
preach tbh
and don’t list it on sites specifically for graduate/entry level jobs
then again, if employers valued young professionals’ expertise they might have to pay them more, and where would we be then? /s
I saw a typical non-profit grunt-work job (essentially the one where you’re an ED’s admin assistant/PA/community organizer all at the same time) say that you’d be working late and on weekends, that it required a Master’s degree and two years of experience, and had no listed salary.
tbh, goyim, you have really got to stop thinking of being jewish as only a religion. PSAs about antisemitism are a little more widespread nowadays but it’s still very obvious you only see us as a religion, or a “faith”, or whatever. yes, judaism is a religion, and yes, you can convert into it, but it’s difficult to convert in and you have to be the one to initiate it because we don’t proselytize.
the jewish people are an ethnicityas well as a religion. judaism is the religion of the jewish people. we are a people indigenous to the levant, exiled 1800 years ago, and forced to resettle in other countries where we were force-assimilated and many of us through those 1800 years lost our ethnic features while still retaining some—our noses, our dark curly hair, etc., which obviously aren’t on every jew but are common in families where the bloodline was kept strong.
it’s really tiring to see people saying “your religion” or “the jewish religion” or “freedom of religion” with reference to us because we are a people and a culture and an ethnicity. we’re far less persecuted for our religion than we are for our cultural dress and our ethnic features. a lot of us don’t even subscribe to the religion part but still celebrate the holidays bc they’re cultural holidays.
so please, like … remember this when you talk about our people or antisemitism. antisemitism is not a religion issue as much as it is an ethnicity issue and a particular brand of racism that has somewhat different rules because we’ve been exiled from israel for so long. like … just keep that in mind when you start discussion about our people pls lol
