Snow/22/bisexual/neurodivergent/Jewish/genderqueer femme. I live on the US eastern seaboard, and I'm a college student. This is a multifandom/gen blog. Occasional NSFW content, but it's always tagged. I sometimes post poems, music, art, and fanfiction that I created myself. I range between spamming constantly and vanishing. I tag most of my posts, and don't hesitate to tell me if you need a trigger or three tagged.
This is an art piece that accompanies my DC fanfic, Natant. This is Janet Drake as a mermaid accompanied by her tiny 5yo son Tim. Watercolor and gel pen, it took about two hours counting the sketching process.
I would like to inform you that this song came on while I was in the grocery store this morning. I said this, out loud (because I hadn’t slept and honestly don’t give a fuck anymore) while I was on the phone with my mom and she fucking screamed laughing.
if your female character doesn’t look like she has lived the life she leads and you can’t get a sense for her actual personality by looking at her because you’re too focused on making her pretty and perfect and palatable it’s bad character design and you should feel bad
During World War II, 600,000 African-American women entered the wartime
workforce. Previously, black women’s work in the United States was
largely limited to domestic service and agricultural work, and wartime
industries meant new and better-paying opportunities – if they made it
through the hiring process, that is. White women were the targets of the
U.S. government’s propaganda efforts, as embodied in the lasting and
lauded image of Rosie the Riveter.Though largely ignored in America’s
popular history of World War II, black women’s important contributions
in World War II factories, which weren’t always so welcoming, are
stunningly captured in these comparably rare snapshots of black Rosie
the Riveters.
Reblogging because I’ve never seen these before, and I bet a lot of people haven’t.
The documentaries and science and nature programs. The nice educational kid’s shows. Just all of it. Enjoying the gentle ribbing of his friends about being Mister Rogers.
Then finding out that the government wants to defund PBS.
Deciding to take up another sacred mantle.
Steve Rogers appearing before the Senate wearing a sweater, looking at the Senators with disappointment.
“Years ago another Mister Rogers stood here. I think it’s a shame I have to stand here now.”
Headcanon utterly and completely accepted!
“You are not living up to the potential Mister Rogers sees in you,” Rogers said, sitting down. The room sat quiet, aghast, as that sunk in to everyone involved.
Straight white woman outs a gay latino man in a public court room based on homophobic stereotypes, all to protect the alibi of a fitness instructor whose unattainable body type is due to liposuction, but go off I guess
Gay latino man lies about sexual relationship with a woman in a court of law in the midst of a murder case in order to have a woman falsely imprisoned but hey if you feel being outed is worse than a false murder accusation you can go off i guess…
If we’re judging Elle Woods as a person, then va-faen-culo is right.
If we’re judging the writers, who thought it was a funny gotcha moment that would make the protagonist’s “frivolous” interests useful, then direhuman is so right.
I have a couple of issues with the stage musical and how they basically erased a lot of Elle’s drive and agency to make room for Emmett, but in the case of this scene, I do think they made it marginally better:
in the movie, she gaydars him based on his fashion knowledge, and then the very fact that he has a boyfriend is treated as proof that he couldn’t be sleeping with a woman,
whereas in the stage version, she figures it out because he’s immune to the bend-and-snap (which, in the legally blonde universe, works on anyone attracted to women – they even have a counterpoint moment with it working on Enid to drive the point home), and his boyfriend explicitly vouches that “I swear he never, ever, ever swings the other way,” which he eventually admits to.
The whole existence of it as a plot point is still kind of dicey, but they smoothed out the worst of the in-character stereotyping and bi erasure.
Hi everyone! With the recent wave of bad decisions from Tumblr and constant posts about shady stuff on other sites, this seems to be a good opportunity to throw another option into the rink.
Waterfall is a tumblelog platform, built from the ground up. There are no gimmicks, or attempts to be unique - just a pure, familiar style, catered to artists, adult (and otherwise) bloggers, and… well, everyone really. Tumblr’s style is familiar - why ditch it? It just needs a little love to make it worth using.
There’s a robust, constantly evolving system to ensure that artists are credited for their work. If you upload art, and someone tries to upload it later? It’s automatically converted into a reblog of your original upload. Someone steals it anyway? See something that breaks the rules? Don’t worry - all reports are manually reviewed, we’ll set things right.
More importantly, there’s no company behind Waterfall. That means no corporate hammer saying what we can and can’t do; it’s just down to a few trusted volunteers to keep things running smoothly, all checking each other’s work to make sure nobody does anything uncool.
Here’s some more of what Waterfall either currently offers, or is on the roadmap for inclusion in the next few updates!
Artist credit system.
Send asks and like from sideblog.
Seperate follow lists for sideblogs.
Want to make a different blog your main? Go ahead!
NSFW Content allowed.
Manual (not algorithmic!) report reviewing.
ZERO signup costs or waiting periods.
And more! The site is in heavy development, and we want to build a platform the way it should be, from the ground up. With that in mind, there’s a few things missing, or not working right yet - if you see one, or just have a neato suggestion, you’re more than welcome to join our Discord and suggest stuff. If you’re thinking of joining, go back up your Tumblr theme; we’ll be trying for 1:1 imports of them at a later date.
Our Terms of Service are here, our Privacy Policy here, and Community Guidelines here.

Hope to see you soon!
We just pushed some major updates, including the ability to post audio and video! More feature updates coming in the next few days.
We’ve also opened our ask box here so you can ask us questions. If you’d prefer not to ask publicly, there’s always IMs!
“Must have reliable transportation” = “this is how we legally discriminate against poor people who take the bus”
As someone who has held several management positions with hiring responsibility, this is true. The boss at my last job informed me before I conducted my very first I interview,
“You can’t outright ask someone if they have a car or have kids. That’s technically illegal. But you need to know because sometimes they can be deal breakers. You can just say ‘Do you have reliable transportation?’ and ‘Do you have any current circumstances that could impede you from being successful at work?’
To which the last one most people fumble and would say, “Well I have kids, so sometimes they could get sick. But that’s not often.” But then your potential employer could mark it down on your interview notes nonetheless.
I thought that maybe it was just my own employer. But now I noticed that I am asked both of these almost every time I interview for a job.
Language is very sneaky. Be careful how you answer. Corporations can be snakes.
In my businesses class my professor told us that the bus counts as reliable transportation. You do not legally have to say “I take the bus” just say “yes I do have reliable transportation” and leave it at that. Do not over share. DO NOT OVER SHARE. The second question just say no. If your kids are sick call out as if you are sick. I don’t have kids but I myself can get sick and that doesn’t hinder my ability to succeed so kids getting sick shouldn’t hinder you. When I call out I give as little info as possible. No one needs to know why you call out. They can’t ask about your “illness” because it violates HIPAA if they do. So as long as you don’t offer more info than you need to you should be okay.
I’ve never thought about it like this.
You should keep everything to yourself as much as possible including social media (which is getting harder and harder to do) the less you offer the better.
Nintendo’s sales haven’t been what they hoped for or expected, so all the executives got together and made the decision to cut their salaries in half to ensure their employees still get paid. They say it’s the fault of the executives that the products aren’t selling well, not their employees, so it isn’t fair for the employees to have to take the hits for that.
Why are there people who don’t like or respect Nintendo again?
