I hate it when you’ve been really on edge for a while and then you have a breakdown over a little thing and everyone thinks that you’re getting super upset about not washing your hair

“It’s easy to be considered a misandrist when men are socialized to feel entitled to women and our time. So, if you ignore them, you’re a misandrist. If you insist they leave you alone, you’re a misandrist. If you focus on building healthy female-centered relationships over relationships with men, you’re a misandrist. Misandry is basically, prioritizing your agency, autonomy and fellow women, over men in a society that teaches you that being feminine relies on giving into men’s feelings of entitlement.”

“Studies into clinical depression have yielded similar findings, leading to the development of an intriguing, but still controversial, concept known as depressive realism. This theory puts forward the notion that depressed individuals actually have more realistic perceptions of their own image, importance, and abilities than the average person. While it’s still generally accepted that depressed people can be negatively biased in their interpretation of events and information, depressive realism suggests that they are often merely responding rationally to realities that the average person cheerfully denies.”

- Christopher S. Putnam (via benedictsmith)

this is so stupid stop romanticizing depression

(via yadadabooboo)

for real though this is the dumbest bullshit i’ve ever heard

“responding rationally to realities” yeah because a chemical imbalance causing you to want to kill yourself for no reason is a really rational response to being alive cool thanks for that

potentially fatal mental disorders aren’t cool jesus christ they’re deadly and terrible and should be taken seriously

(via dave-bowman)

I want to know what their idea of “realistic” is. They seem to be talking about some things that are pretty subjective (how do they measure importance?) and discussing them as if they can be definitively quantified.

I mean, either way it’s a bullshit assertion, I’m just wondering what they think they mean by that.

Pocahontas is complete fiction. I get it. It is a Disney fairy tale. Not an actual interpretation of what happened in real life. That was never what it was meant to be. Read the original interpretation of ANY Disney fairy tale. NONE of them follow the original story. Pocahontas is a Disney fairy tale like the rest. That is all.

It is a beautiful story with a beautiful message and it is told artfully. I don’t understand why people can’t just let it be that.

Look, Pocahontas is a great movie, but that doesn’t mean it’s not problematic. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. And it’s a little inappropriate to compare fairy tales to real history—-like, the relationship between European settlers and Native Americans was not a fairy tale, it’s history. So Disney can change it and make a great story or whatever—-“It is a beautiful story with a beautiful message and it is told artfully” Yes! True, but: “I don’t understand why people can’t just let it be that”. Because it’s not just that? It’s also many other things? Anyone with a questioning mind should be able to look into the things they loved in their childhood and see the flaws?

I agree with Cannon. And there is no pop up indication that reminds movie watchers that this is not the true story. This retelling is not a retelling in the way beauty and the beast is. Not only was that always a fictional tale, but the changes of Pocahontas as specifically rooted in a colonized way of viewing native cultures (see here and here2 for more details on specific problemtic cultural and historical problems).

I think it’s too blasse to go say “read a book and learn the truth” etc. If it’s a movie about a historical event, the truth should not be so hidden so as to be almost the complete opposite of the movie portrayal. People cannot be expected- and should not be expected- to google the historical context of every movie they see. Would it be nice if they did? Probably. Would it be great if schools spent more time examining the non-white, POC history of American experiences, before and after the American Revolution? Certainly.

But in examining how movies like this operate in real life, as opposed to idealized US Americana, Disney’s Pocahontas IS the dominant understanding of how that moment in history went down. That IS what happens when you tell a story about a culture that is often ignored except to be denigrated or used as visual props- you end up being the accepted narrative, because all others have been systematically silenced. And, again, given how this movie feeds into historical white washing and native erasure and presumptions and stereotypes of native cultures, this is very troubling.

It’s not just a movie… it was never just a movie

Your daily reminder that Wolverine is the fucking ~~worst~~ man.

Fixed it :D

Nah son. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah son.

Wolverine is the fucking worst.

He’s wrong, to start with, She-Hulk didn’t get with Juggernaut, some version of her from the multiverse did. So you got this hairy little Canucklehead absorbing and spreading fuckshit rumors about the sex life of one of the (relatively) few high profile superwomen in his field of work.

Then you got the fact that, right or wrong, Logan is on that slut shaming bullshit. Hey, Wolvy, you don’t want to have a one night stand with Jen? Fine, your loss. Hey, Wolvy, you wanna put down Jen because the sex she may or may not be having lowers her value to you? Drink some bleach.

And since bullshit comes in threes, you also have the straight up hypocrisy of it all. This is goddamn Wolverine we’re talking about, who despite all odds has a list of sexual partners as long as his arm. If he didn’t have a healing factor, the last hundred and fifty years of freaky loving he’s gotten would have left him literally riddled with diseases. (Son had half a dozen kids he didn’t know existed, you can’t tell me Wolverine places a high value on safe sex, or even pulling out). Wolverine has literally less authority than anyone else in the Marvel Universe when it comes to judging people based on their sexual history.

But no, it’s all good, respectability based on your sexual history is a one way street. Get a lot of pussy? Player. Get a lot of dick? Skank.

She-Hulk sees y’all, and doesn’t think much of you.
