Of course, the burkini ban is messed up on grounds of religious freedom and racial discrimination. But also

Under any other circumstances, people would be HORRIFIED at a government mandate that women have to show a certain amount of skin. Like. That’s fucking dystopian, and the absolute opposite of feminism. If a government tried to pass a law that all women had to wear tube tops and miniskirts to go outside, people would rightfully be up in arms demanding blood

But because it’s targeting a marginalized religious group, many folks are lauding the blatant forced sexualization of women. Appalling

(apparently the ban also outlaws things like sun – protecting bathing suits if they cover too much skin. Which like. Yes, let’s give everyone skin cancer just so we can spite a religion we’ve decided to hate. Sounds like a good plan </s>)

Atla live action 😐

[id: two drawings of bna characters again light blue backgrounds. the first is of michiru and nazuna, standing beside each other. nazuna has her hair tied back, she holds a pink umbrella, and wears a dark purple top with a pink skirt and sandals. she smiles, as does michiru. michiru wears a dark blue surf-suit, and holds a pair of bags. the second drawing is of shirou, marie, and pingua, who stand closely together. shirou, scowling, wears a dark sun-hat, faded blue button-up, and grey trousers, a pink bag in one hand, marie’s hand in the other, a beach-ball under his arm. marie smiles at him smugly, wearing her glasses, a grey top, and a purple wrap skirt, pale bag over her shoulder. pingua also smiles, he wears a pink visor, a red floral-patterned shirt, and faded brown shorts, a barbecue spatula in hand, other in pocket. he comments on how shirou looks hot and bothered, marie offers him a drink or shade, and shirou tells them both to fuck off. end id.]

ok yeah now I get why ppl kept putting the emperor in maid outfits

I mean I was on board beforehand but now I get it get it, yknow?

long rambly annie appreciation post

i love my feral gremlin child annie SO much and i think something really fun about her is how she just... has no Need for relationships besides Dog?

she does seem to benefit from hanging out with charlie, and there's some potential there with irene. but she's stuck it out on her own so long she and dog can take care of themselves. she doesn't need to be nice and polite because she doesn't need anything from anyone else and even if she did she'd more realistically use force to get it lol.

and i mean, i can't even blame her because the first humans she came across in a decade shot at her best friend. besides the fact force is a solution she knows works and the fact she's been alone so long she's never HAD to consider any other solution, how can she trust any of the humans she just got thrown into these situations with?

we did see her actually develop a bit as well when she decided to stay with irene's camp, possibly showing a willingness to be open to relationships (or at least her knowing she and dog can't brave this one alone.) she had irene apologize instead of letting dog maul her. but i like that her personality didn't change all that much in the meantime.

i like that she's didn't feel pressured to start playing nice because like, she doesn't owe that to anyone. she has pretty much no reason to act nice and polite... i don't even think she knows HOW to honestly (see: her immediate "oh my god this coffee?? it's DISGUSTING" reaction in episode 1 instead of trying to pretend she's grateful for their attempt to warm her up j;lkLKJ).

and i particularly love how she didn't fall into the pitfalls of like, in stranger things having el see herself in the mirror and go "pretty o:" because... annie has no concept of society anymore. she has vague memories of a mom, she has a small child's understanding of the world she came from, but the only expectations she feels are 1) to survive and 2) to be dog's best friend.

i also loved that despite forgetting so much and adapting so hard, she DID still care that irene didn't find her for 10 years. she did love her dad. and so i have to wonder if that sense of betrayal, the impending doom of knowing someone you love will just die, is another factor in her being so Annie. she said it herself - any time someone had told her she's safe, they've died. people are weak and fragile and they're going to fail her, but she and dog are strong and invincible and that's Safe (i say, hoping dog survived that finale).

why change that now?

it's 20 degrees outside the flat and 30 degrees inside which is perfect weather because 30 degrees is fine to me but if i get hot i can simply open a window and get that sweet sweet fresh breeze

law and his tiny therapist sit on the beach and talk about life or something

My happy meal pail from last year blew away from under the rain spout and blew down the street. It was a green witch one

ohhhh bootwt you r so fucking infuriating. saw a tweet calling for ranboo to unfollow some creators because they’re problematic (don’t even know what creators they were talking abt, they just said “certain creators”) and another tweet tagging both his accounts asking him to follow more black artists in his fandom. both tweets were made by children. following someone on twitter is not the end all be all of activism please for the love of god go outside
