You need both. Y’all act like kids know everything and listen.
Except you do realize the second one is in reference to abusive parents who will spank their kids and never explain why they forbid something
^^^^Yes I think that’s what the post was hinting at that some parents go overboard.
Kids don’t know shit b/c they get beat for wanting to know why something happens. I don’t want my children doing anything if they don’t know why, explaining things to kids keeps their curiosity and love for learning alive even if it’s as simple as “why do I have to clean this “
okay the Coco + Olaf’s Frozen Adventure thing needs some explanation because i just found out about it today and im still cracking up
Olaf’s Frozen Adventure was supposed to be the next part in the Frozenverse that was set to be a holiday special on ABC, but for whatever reason, that fell through and it instead aired in front of airings of Coco, continuing Pixar’s tradition of airing short standalone films in front of their full feature-length films
only… the key word here is “short.” i definitely don’t remember any Pixar short being longer than 5 minutes, but Olaf’s Frozen Adventure was originally set to be a holiday special… on TV. a holiday special the length of a TV show
ie, ~twenty one minutes long
opinions of the short itself vary wildly, but pretty much everyone universally agrees that it was far too long to be played as an “opening act”
combined with the fact that the short wasn’t shown during critic screenings, meaning reviews of the movie did not have any clue about the short’s existence, the “short” led to some baffled and very unhappy movie-goers, particularly in Mexico. confused kids, harried parents (taking young children to the movie is hard enough for a regular movie, imagine an extra half-hour), and theater workers having to explain to a lot of customers that they were in the right movie
and, as that last post said, there was so much backlash in Mexico at least one theater chain has outright pulled the short from screenings of Coco
i cant believe that Disney decided to turn theatergoers into a captive audience for Frozen and made everyone, including children, hate their precious franchise
This isn’t some kind of liberal you’re dealing with
who is operating under denial and tries to be a decent person to some level at least.
These people are on the same level as westboro baptist churchers. They want trans women eradicated. Destroyed. Literally “morally mandated out of existence” (as Janice Raymond wrote).
They want us dead.
They can not be reasoned with. They can’t be convinced. They can’t be made to see reality. They will, even if you attempt gentle communication, work to hurt you. They will work to abuse you. They will work to do as much harm as possible in the hopes that they can either cow you to their genocidal viewpoint or harm you enough to defend yourself so they can claim you were a “violent dangerous male”.
The only purpose for communicating with a terf is to tear apart their rhetoric for others to see. Make it clear that they’re wrong to others. You’re not here to convince them. It’s not worth the cost of trauma to you.
Seriously, it’s not worth it. Don’t expose yourself to it. If you have to engage, do it swiftly, rip their crap apart and then block and move on. They are out to hurt you. And enough of us die every day, enough of us suffer every day, for any of us to go into hell willingly.
Please just don’t do it.
This post recently got reblogged by a bunch of shitty terfs and because I simply blocked them instead of engaging, my day wasn’t ruined. So it works 🙂
no offense but people who consistently buy the newest iphones the day they come out emanate a very unsettling energy… capitalism has such a strong grip on them i just want to help set them free
There’s a lot of big, wordy articles going around tumblr right now, and they’re all great. But I wanted to make a mastpost of sorts of all the actions you can take and sites/bots that are here to help.
battleforthenet – The main hub for all things net neutrality. Fill out a form in seconds to e-mail your rep, or enter your phone number and a prerecorded message will call you, tell you exactly what to do and provide a script before connecting you with your representative. You can also set up a daily call.
Verizon Protests – Protests are happening at Verizon stores across the country on Dec 14th.
5 calls – This site is my favorite for calls. They provide a script and directions for calling the FCC, senators, and local state rep.
Resistbot – A phenominal service for those who cannot call, this bot will contact your rep on your behalf. However, every time I try to use it, they are busy.
Many of you are hitting the same roadblock I am: Mailboxes are full. So what do we do at that point? We send letters. Go to WhoIsMyRepresentative.com and enter your zip code to find addresses for your senators and house reps. You can use the phone script from the sites above, or compose your own note, or simply write “I am your constituent and I want you to fight to keep net neutrality.”
I know a lot of this is very overwhelming and hopefully this makes things easy and straightforward. You can send an e-mail, make 4 phone calls, and write a letter in less than 10 minutes. Please take the time to do so.
