it varies. usually someone took his car or his jacket. one time he got mistaken for a messiah and that was a whole thing. he’s just under a lot of stress in general.
I understand. If all of that happened to me I’d be mad too
What happened with Lauren Zuke? I can't get anything on just what went down, all I can figure is that some jerks had her close her Twitter account. What happened, and what did they do?
I have lots of posts about this if you scroll down, and I’m sure you’ve researched on your own by now (since I went to sleep before this ask came) but I’ll break down what I know:
Some people sent Lauren shit about lapidot on her twitter. This was about a week ago? And then, yesterday, she wrote some sassy tweets about piracying and leaked early episodes of Steven Universe, which she then said she was just joking about. People gave her lots of shit for that too. So in the end, she just couldn’t stand that people were so mean to her over a freakin cartoon, where she’s just doing her job, and so she deleted.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened with Lauren, though. In January or so she made another private twitter, and essentially stopped using her public twitter for several weeks. Later she came back though. So I hope she’ll still be back, but perhaps she should keep it to the same level as Rebecca Sugar with her twitter. I can really understand why RS’s social medias are so sparse with her personal thoughts…
People think that just because they’re behind an anonymous screen name, they can say whatever they think of and there will be no consequences. But people have to remember that you’re talking to actual human beings, who will be hurt and sad if you write mean stuff to them. Don’t be that guy.
Monument Valley honestly kept me from having a panic attack a few weeks ago.
I was on hold with my bank for roughly a half hour because someone had stolen my debit card number and had charged a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff to it. All I could think about while I was on hold was what if my rent check bounces, I can’t afford the late fee I’ll be slapped with and I’m already on bad terms with my super - and I felt that horrible grip around my chest squeezing down and my breathing getting faster.
Normally I can just drink a cold glass of water and sit in front of my ac (to remind myself that no, my throat is not actually closing up, and that yes, I can still successfully get air into my lungs with the help of a fan) but this time neither of those tricks did anything. Well actually that’s not true, they reminded me that I was alone in my apartment, and if couldn’t find a way to calm down, I wouldn’t necessarily be able to get help - which only scared the shit out of me even more.
So I sat in front of my AC and pulled up the brightest, happiest looking app I have on phone, which is Monument Valley, and within ten minutes of building pathways to guide the princess through the castle I was breathing normally. I found myself thinking, look at this bitch, you’re already solving this, this will be cleared up with your bank in the next half hour, and in case your check bounces, you’ll have documentation as to why to show your landlord. On good days, it’s sometimes honestly as simple as helping a tiny me walk through a beautiful castle while solving simple puzzles to remind myself:
Chicago girl, 6, handcuffed under stairs at school for more than an hour after security guard decided to teach her ‘a f—— lesson’.
The reson for such a violent punishment was that kids told the guard
Madisyn
stole piece of candy, however her mother says it was a part of her launch. When mother came to school for her daughter, she was still handcuffed
near the school’s boilers
under the stairs. A Shocking situation made her file a lawsuit, alleging excessive force, false imprisonment and emotional distress.
“He said ‘I’m teaching her a f—-g lesson. She took a piece of candy and I handcuffed her under the stairs,’” Wordlow told The News. Additionally, “he told me if I was a real parent, I would find out what was going on instead of jumping the gun,” she said.
How dare they treat a little girl like that? First, fire the security guard and have some respect to a little girl, who had done nothing wrong!
Oblivion: Some women are robbing and blackmailing married men. I need you to find the suspects, let them try to seduce you, and catch them in the act. Skyrim: Some women are robbing and blackmailing married men. I need you to go into this dungeon full of Draugr and kill them.
Oblivion: These ghosts are haunting my ship. Here’s a silver sword. Can you kill them for me? Skyrim: These ghosts are haunting my ship. Here’s the location of a dungeon full of Draugr. Go and find an item from there to help me drive them away.
Oblivion: Climb into the well out back and fetch me a ring that sunk to the bottom. JOKES ON YOU! That ring is going to make you drown. Skyrim: A bandit stole my ring, man. Can you go into this dungeon and get it back for me? Oh, and watch out for the Draugr.
Oblivion: Guess what? You’re trapped on an island where hunters hunt people for fun, and you’re the prey. Have fun! Skyrim: Some guy is running a game on an island where people hunt other people for fun. Word has it he’s in a dungeon nearby looking for treasure to fund his game. Go and kill him. What? You want to see this game for yourself? Nonsense, the dungeon will be far more convenient. Off you go. Try not to trip over any Draugr.
It bothers me how the currency in sci fi is always “credits”; if I wrote a sci fi story, the universal currency would be Australian dollars, even if it’s set in space, with no Australian people, or any indication that this universe ever had a place called Australia in it.
it’s 2016, callout culture has gone on for more than long enough now, let it die, it’s time
callout for this post wtf is “callout culture”
callout culture is falling out with someone and digging through their archive to compile a list of things they said five years ago to turn total strangers against them
callout culture is reblogging a callout post for a total stranger made by a total stranger out of a misplaced sense of moral righteousness
callout culture is overusing the word ‘problematic’ to the point where saying something out of ignorance thirty years ago is placed on the same level as assaulting children
callout culture is expecting people to disclose deeply personal information pertaining to their mental health, experience of abuse and other incredibly sensitive subjects before engaging in a discussion with total strangers
callout culture is bombarding people with accusatory messages as soon as a celebrity or tv show they like fucks up, as if it was their fault or they can do anything about it and as if it’s possible for anyone or anything to be perfect enough to be deemed worthy of fandom by those standards
callout culture is refusing to give people room to fuck up and then grow and learn and to acknowledge that people and media mean a lot to people for an enormous variety of reasons and expecting people to be able to (and to want to) just cut all emotional ties they have with something or someone when they fuck up is unreasonable and unrealistic
callout culture is claiming to stand for social justice, but driving young teenagers to the point of suicide because maintaining a sense of ideological purity is seen as preferable to remembering that we all used to be ignorant on various issues and educating those who just didn’t know any better
