linguini from ratatouille is the most accurate representation of a broke millennial, like he has no idea what he wants to do with his life and has a shitty apartment and gets drunk and has intense anxiety and actually acknowledges how weird his situation is. like, he just found this rat that can cook and can somehow communicate and control his actions by pulling on his hair and that’s weird af, but fuck it he really needs this job so fine let the rat cook, he doesn’t even care how weird his life is anymore he just needs money.
Linguini:
WaIT his name was Linguini? Are ALLL the characters in that film named after pasta dishes?????? AM I just now Old Enough to recognize these names??? Or am I just going crazy?
Never forget that the current USA was built on the bones of the Native Americans. Never forget how their land was robbed and taken from them. Never let their identity and heritage be erased. The US was their home before it was anyone else’s.
Never forget that Christopher Columbus was no hero.
Dinotopia is a fictional utopia created by author and illustrator James Gurney. It is the setting for the book series with which it shares its name. Dinotopia is an isolated island inhabited by shipwrecked humans and sentient dinosaurus who have learned to coexist peacefully as a single symbiotic society. The first book has “appeared in 18 languages in more than 30 countries and sold two million copies.”Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time and Dinotopia: The World Beneath both won Hugo awards for best original artwork.
God these images still send this ENTIRE thrill through me. They just evoke that feeling of being a child with a book too large for you, staying for so long on a single picture that you feel like you could turn around in it.
Gurney consistently produces a world that feels completely reasonable and real. The color, the light, the relationships between fore- and background,
the fact that it seems like a real world, where people are engaging in perfectly reasonable cultural activities…
The natural gestures, implying the personalities and relationships of characters in a single image…
And it’s quite creative. I mean, look at this pair of bagel sellers. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SELL BAGELS?
This isn’t something that gets talked about a lot, and I have no idea how far the problem extends geographically, but if you care about poor people, if you care about sex workers, if you care about activists, if you care about privacy,
you should consider resisting the transition from cash to card-only payments that is happening in shops in some bigger cities. Including shops where only one register in a long row still accepts cash payments so anyone paying with cash needs to wait in line and sticks out.
Cash is how poor people help keep each other alive without immediately worrying about their benefit cuts, cash is what people get when they do a bit of work or sell some old stuff to feed their kids that week. Cash is how most sex workers get paid. A lot of people need to be able to make cash payments to feed their kids, pay their rent and basically to live.
Cash is also what activists use whenever they need protest supplies and don’t want their full name and address attached to the protest. Cash is how we buy any item we want to keep out of our digital footprint. But whether you’re buying a megaphone or a dildo, you can’t do so privately if you can’t spend cash.
Banks are eager to work towards a post-cash economy because it makes our spending habits so much easier to track. States want the same because it makes people so much easier to track and control. We should not want a
post-cash economy
and we should resist attempts to create it.
Fuck, this is all very cyberpunk, but also very real.
Okay, I’m gonna do this. Not because I’m asking for attention or a pity party (I’M JUST A POOR BOY, I NEED NO SYMPATHY.)(Sorry, I had to.) not because I’m asking you to go off or send hate to this person, but because issues like these need to be addressed, and because I legitimately think this person is going around purposefully harassing and disrespecting trans and non-binary people and their identities.
IT WAS HALLOWEEN 👏 WHEN I WAS 8 👏AND LIVING IN A HOMELESS SHELTER👏IM SORRY👏IF MY PUNK LOOK👏INSULTS YOUR EYES SO MUCH👏 MAYBE GO WASH THEM OUT WITH SOAP OR SOMETHING👏
I think this person believed me to be a trans woman, or something of the sort, and judging by the way they replied to my friend it seems like they were also harassing a trans man that day.
“But they look like a woman sis” and “fine, die mad about the fact that your friend looks like a woman.” Were both stated before they made clear they realized who my friend was talking about, saying “ohhh is it…” and then proceeding to pull up the picture of me again, stating: “yeah he’s a boy” and a string of insults I won’t even get into, followed by: “They have secondary Male sex characteristics and don’t pass as anything other than Male. Sorry I don’t make the rules sis.”
It seems like this person’s main goal is to disrespect people’s gender identities and tell them they only look like their gender assigned at birth (or what they assume is their gender assigned at birth) and then they settled for telling me I can’t look like either if I’m nonbinary. So I’m warning you all, and if any of you have already gotten shit from this dickhead please come to me and let me know. We’re in this together, spn family or not, I’m here. Always keep fighting.
Say it with me now:
I CAN LOOK LIKE WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT
@fvckdildo ….. You’re such a coward and a Cocksucking Sonofabitch. HOW DARE YOU do that to someone!
