Also it’s like man this is difficult. I’m sorry if those incredibly mild, weaksauce comments I just made actually burn someone somehow, but like…

Hours after I swear I’m gonna stop being negative and snarky, kinda balance myself… This whole Yahoo-Tumblr thing goes down and so many people are saying or doing silly things.

You guys are making it hard to be nicer.

It’s a bit funny and yet baffling when you see people who genuinely fall, if only briefly, for gags about “Yahoo is deleting this type of blog” or “Yahoo put in a new rule.” It’s like… Literally, a few hours ago, it was announced that one business was buying another business.

Do some people honestly think that like… the moment an offer is accepted, the buying company is just magically in control of everything?

If so I feel kinda bad, there’s a few things y’all need to learn about how business works.

…Plus why would you honestly see a message in Comic Sans like “we will delete your blog and ban you forever if you unironically use the phrase Superwholock” and believe it?  …As much as I sometimes wish that would come true

  • Tumblr user before Yahoo buyout: God every time Tumblr updates something this site gets worse. They don't know how to run a website.
  • Tumblr user after Yahoo buyout: Oh no Tumblr is gonna suck now, it was so good before! Things will never be the same.

It’s interesting that people will go so far out of their way to point out the hypocrisy in your life if you’re vegan, like vegans are the only beings capable of contradiction and the absolute worst kind of contradiction at that. I mean you can rise to power advocating peace while bombing the fuck out of foreign countries, that’s cool man, but claim to be vegan and accidentally step on a slug and we’ll riot so hard I swear to god.

I am a lesbian woman of Color whose children eat regularly because I work in a university. If their full bellies make me fail to recognize my commonality with a woman of Color whose children do not eat because she cannot find work, or who has no children because her insides are rotted from home abortions and sterilization; if I fail to recognize the lesbian who chooses not to have children, the woman who remains closeted because her homophobic community is her only life support, the woman who chooses silence instead of another death, the woman who is terrified lest my anger trigger the explosion of hers; if I fail to recognize them as other faces of myself, then I am contributing not only to each of their oppressions but also to my own, and the anger which stands between us, then must be used for clarity and mutual empowerment, not for evasion by guilt or for further separation.

What’s your favourite home-made, simple ingredient meal?

nobullnobucksvegan:

I’m talking no store bought veggie burgers, no pre-made vegan cheeses, no tofutti, no brand name “chikn” strips. Whatever you can whip up at home using fruits, vegetables, and other very common ingredients?

I love using chickpeas to make “chicken” based recipes. Lentils and red kidney beans are great for vegan meatloaf! Homemade almond milk can serve as a great base for awesome alfredo sauces, as well as ice cream (always plenty of bananas!)

There is something we find immensely satisfying about just doing like… pasta in garlicky olive oil with roasted red peppers, spinach, and a few other handy vegetables (sun-dried tomatoes and caramelized onions usually find their way in there). It’s something you can toss together in 30 minutes or so

mementomoryo: lightbringer34: mementomoryo: Just a friendly reminder that Anno and Co. originally intended for Rei Ayanami to creep the hell out of us. Rei was, for all intents and purposes, a personified backlash against the hordes of 80s and early 90s fanboys who slobbered over female characters, and who figured that having a 2D girl that obeyed your every whim and had no voice as your own personal fuckdoll would be pretty damned sweet. In other words, they wanted a placid, soulless little girl to wank over. And Anno delivered. Oh, boy, did he deliver. Regular old Rei still creeps me out a little, because I think about this massive, ancient creature inside her. It isn’t human, and it is human. it’s far less than what we are but also so much greater. It is pretty much alien in every way, yet is intimately close to humanity. And Rei Ayanami has that within her, even if it is just a small shard, even if it is locked away in her soul as tightly as she can make it. It’s still in there. And I look at that placid, emotionless facade she puts on like a mask every day and I shudder. Because I know what Lovecraftian horror lies deep within her soul and it yearns to be free….. I need a freaking drink. Amen to that! It also adds to the whole genre-deconstruction thing in ways other than I previously mentioned. You know how with a lot of the Pale Emotionless Girl trope, you see the girl in question get teased by her peers, who call her things like “alien”? (In Japan, “alien” is a common taunt on par with “spaz” or “freak”.) And we, the audience, are supposed to look at the poor girl being tormented and go, “Aww, poor little helpless thing, being bullied! How dare those cruel bastards call you an alien! I bet inside you’re all warm and squishy, just like us! You only need someone - perhaps someone like me - to sweep you off your cute little feet.” Enter Rei Ayanami, who is pale and emotionless and ostracized by her peers. She’s called an alien and a freak at school, and for a while, both Shinji and the audience are under the impression that she’s just another bullied kid, and thus worthy of sympathy and befriending. We find out later that other human beings push her away because, like dogs smelling fear, they can sense there is something deeply wrong with the girl. She doesn’t smile. She doesn’t eat. She doesn’t talk. She just stares at you with empty red eyes, and somewhere deep inside you, you get the awful sensation that if you keep looking into them, you’ll see something you were never meant to. I love Rei as a character, but I would never go near her if she were real.
