"My friend Quinn told me about a folder on her computer called, “The Ones We’ve Lost.” They are the letters she’s gotten from young girls who dream of being game developers, but are terrified of the environment they see. I nearly broke into tears as I told her I had a folder filled with the same. The truth is, even if we stopped Gamergate tomorrow, it will have already come at too high a cost."
We mentioned it before, women ARE genuinely discouraged from pursuing jobs in the game industry. It is a simple, provable fact.
Also, those women who already work there have to either keep quiet out of worry about their careers or ultimately decide to leave after experiencing too much harassment or pressure to create things against their beliefs.
“Joooon,” Came the ever annoying boy above him, followed by a poke on his nose.
“What did you just call me?” Jonathan grunted, turning onto his back and looking up at the smirking demon.
“Jon, that’s your name, isn’t it?” Sock gleamed happily, floating closer to the newly awakened blonde.
“It’s Jonathan,” He corrected, running his hands over bleary eyes and blinking gloomily, turning to look at the clock. He realized it was well before six AM, meaning it was well before he actually had to get up for the day, “And why am I awake?"
Sock waved him off, sitting back into an upright position but still hovering above the covers, “Thought we’d get an early start on the day-“
"You were bored,” Jonathan cut him off, knowing the demon well.
“Minor detail, anyway, I’ve come up with a new nickname for you,” He breezed over Jonathan’s comment, nodding his head in excitement. Jonathan gave him a weary look, but still nodded his head as he sat up in bed, motioning for him to continue.
“It was about three in the morning, and I was thinking of you, as always~” Sock flashed him heart eyes, making Jonathan snort before continuing, “And realized; You don’t have a nickname, which is a true travesty, so I’ve taken liberty and shortened yours, coming up with Jon.” Sock finished, pleased with his own creativity.
“No,” Jonathan deadpanned.
“But- but Jonathan! Give it a chance!” He whined, upset by the others abruptness.
Jonathan shook his head and swung his legs over the edge of the bed, stretching and deciding he was done with this topic. He padded into his bathroom, starting with his morning routine.
Sock’s eyes were still staring intently at the pillow, squinting slightly before deciding: He was going to tease Jonathan all he wanted, he was a demon, after all. Shaking his head in conformation he uncrossed his legs, going to find Jonathan in the joint bathroom.
“So Jon, I was thinking we should-” He started, already floating through the bathroom door.
“Sock, I swear to god- just, shut up about the stupid nickname,” Jonathan was glaring intensely at the other, toothbrush halfway in his mouth, “Literally call me anything else, I don’t care.” He finished, turning back to his sink.
Sock crossed his arm in annoyance, nodding with a swift movement of his head before setting his eyes on Jonathan, looking at him through the mirror.
“Thank you,” Jonathan gave off a content shake of the head, retreating when he saw a smirk already on Sock’s face;
LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT, UNDERRATED DISNEY FILMS OF ALL TIME OKAY:
1. It teaches kids that we should never judge others by their appearance or what we’ve seen on the surface.
2. It teaches kids that despite if we’ve been taught to be afraid of or hate something or someone that looks/acts differently than us, we should learn and try to understand thembefore we judge them.
3. It teaches that two sides that may hate each other don’t always have to stay that way - they can learn and grown from each other’s mistakes.
4. It teaches that hatred is not always the answer; to listen, to step back, and see through someone else’s eyes. It teaches patience, understanding, and wisdom.
5. IT TEACHES CHILDREN THAT PEOPLE CAN BE FORGIVEN AND DO BETTER.
6. It teaches children that even if you make a mistake, you can learn and grow from it like Kenai.
Seriously I just love this movie to pieces it is so important to me and I wish more people knew/watched it because wtf it’s AMAZING.
NOT TO MENTION THE ENTIRE CAST IS POC AND CULTURE WISE IT IS RESPECTFUL AND IT IS JUST A GREAT MOVIE OKAY
Artist and stamp creator Nakashima723 has put together an instructional graphic to help defend against unwanted sexual advances. The image, which has been shared 16,406 times, illustrates four specific defenses that could be used if a target finds themselves trapped between a wall and their attacker. The suggestions are based specifically on the difference between the attacker and defender’s height.
Image 1 If your attacker is approximately your height, with both arms blocking an exit, a swift jab to the tender armpit can cause a great deal of pain.
Image 2 In this position, where the individual is slightly taller than you, the image recommends a punch to the solar plexus. The solar plexus is right under the breastbone and a blow to it causes the feeling of having the wind knocked out of you.
Image 3 If you find yourself trapped with someone a head taller than you, the picture recommends a classic uppercut to the chin.
Image 4 In the last image, when facing someone significantly taller than you, the image shows a jumping headbutt to the chin. Please note that headbutting someone is risky, as it can injure both parties depending on what part of the head comes in contact.
Besides self-defense techniques, Nakashima723 also illustrates stickers on LINE and other examples of the pros and cons of height differences.
im still very pleased over the fact that Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi were all destined for the final battles of the war because of who they were related to/who’s reincarnated spirits/demons were in their bodies/who’s eyeballs were in their head/cosmic fate bullshit
and Sakura was just like try and stop me fuckers with your boy destiny, this girl is gonna punch god in the face and jump headfirst as fucking Madara, look at my back.
