“but shrouded black figures are scary!” not when ur muslim. its the funniest fucking thing. this is labeled on pinterest under shit like “classic horror” “scary phone wallpaper”
but that LITERALLY just looks like a niqabi or someone in a jilbab. Like Look at this pic of me (from a self photoshoot, now w/o the dramatic lighting and dark background)
or this pic of me
or this pic of me
like its so funny i can’t be scared of shrouded figures it just looks like me.
if i saw this i would just be like “Assalam alaikum sister, dope sword you got there”
I mean I think a part of the ‘scary background’ bit is the thing where the individual in question is staring directly at the viewer from a foggy pond in a dense forest. And also the literal burning halo
sounds like a normal Friday night. if a sister wants to go on a walk in the evening who am i to stop her. if she has a burning halo that’s the will of god.
this is literally correct. im so mad that i cant find it right now, maybe i will later, but a few months ago i read such a funny paper, it was a report on a survey of k-tape use by sports medicine people and physical therapists, and 70% of them reported that they knew/had observed that k-tape does absolutely nothing, but that athletes are so superstitious that the PTs would use the tape anyway because it improved performance via placebo. the majority of studies on k-tape are either inconclusive or a very definite “this does absolutely nothing”.
i could see it maybe being useful specifically for proprioception due to pull sensation, and possibly in EDS patients where skin elasticity had something to do with muscle/joint stability and taping the surface provided more resistance. otherwise its less relevant to injury than prehistoric medical tatooing, at least the latter would involve microinjury with a needle, which we do have evidence to support lol
“St. George and the Dragon – Rivière’s depiction of an exhausted St. George lying down beside the slain dragon is a radical departure from the triumphant equestrian position in which this saint is traditionally depicted”
I’m not seeing any naked adults in that screenshot…
…There’s something deeply messed up about how breasts, which are used by our species to feed babies, are considered to be so perverse and obscene that a child should never see them.
There aren’t any naked people in the entire video clip. There’s some people that you’d probably see less of their skin on a beach, but only because on a beach they’d probably be wearing a bikini top as well as whatever else they have on. And this is New York City, where toplessness is legal regardless of gender or assigned sex.
Toplessness for breasts is legal in most places in the US, unlegislated in almost all that remain, and only illegal in two states: Ohio and Tennessee.
This is because topless equality has been a basic push from feminists for literally decades, until Radfems and NeoCons bonded over wanting a trans genocide less than a decade ago.
It’s literally why the “no tits on tumblr” and other lesser SESTA/FOSTA consequences* like it were so jarring. It set back FORTY. YEARS. OF PROGRESS in the rights of people with breasts or perceived as women to wear the same clothes as people without.
Do not let conservatives lie to you about this. The majority of people in the us and the VAST majority of States recognize the right of people to not wear a damn shirt. It isn’t obscenity, it isn’t even nudity, it’s just something pericis men are allowed that everyone else isn’t.
Y'know.
Basic sexual discrimination.
*Y'all aren’t still on that “it was the Apple app store that caused the tit ban” shit, right? It was the literal US federal government. To be fucking clear.
Actually it’s illegal in Indiana, not Ohio, but the rest still stands.
princes trian and bhelen and princess myala of house aeducan, ages 16, 10, and 12 respectively
2 years later, immediately before a major feast myala chopped off her braids and went dressed in bhelen’s clothes, although they stopped having portraits done around that time
GRADE SCHOOL SJWS stop using social justice language to explain shit to your conservative parents IT’S NOT GONNA GO THROUGH now all they have are some new words to make fun of. don’t tell your mom she’s being fatphobic tell her she’s being a dick
You gotta use their language to get through to them. Don’t talk about the evils of capitalism, talk about rich assholes stealing the blood, sweat and tears of hard-working Americans (or whichever equivalent). Don’t talk about privilege, talk about people being spoiled and having it easier, or being out of touch with the real world. Bond over distrust in the government, then slowly explain what it is that government is actually doing.
This one may be more US centric, but many bigotries can be dealt with by talking about freedom and American values of being founded on immigration and equal opportunity. If they’re mad about violent protest, tell them freedom is worth fighting for.
This won’t always work, but I’ve changed a lot of minds this way. Deprogramming a cultist mindset isn’t easy, and it takes time. But they’re being fucked over by the same people we are. The trick is to get them to see it too, and stop supporting their own oppressors. Once the big lie is exposed, they’ll begin to question every other bullshit thing they were conditIoned to believe. That’s when the real healing can begin.
