i know pacific rim is not a Holy Grail of Perfect Progressive Cinema but man is it NICE to be able to watch a big cheesy loud action movie w main characters of color and where theres no hamfistedly shoved in romance and LOADSA COOL ALIEN AND SCIENCE STUFF ……. and where i dont have to be perpetually worried about them making some kinda gross joke (looking at u transformers) and the fights are still BIG and satisfying and everyones still super hot
The Bechdel test is actually the craziest shit because at first you’re all like “two female characters discussing something other than men, alright, easy peasy, what a low fucking bar” and then you start to pay attention and you realize that like 80% of the films you watch don’t pass this simple test and it’s just
what the everloving fuck is wrong with our society
“Biology’s cruel joke goes something like this: As a teenage body goes through puberty, its circadian rhythm essentially shifts three hours backward. Suddenly, going to bed at nine or ten o’clock at night isn’t just a drag, but close to a biological impossibility. Studies of teenagers around the globe have found that adolescent brains do not start releasing melatonin until around eleven o’clock at night and keep pumping out the hormone well past sunrise. Adults, meanwhile, have little-to-no melatonin in their bodies when they wake up. With all that melatonin surging through their bloodstream, teenagers who are forced to be awake before eight in the morning are often barely alert and want nothing more than to give in to their body’s demands and fall back asleep. Because of the shift in their circadian rhythm, asking a teenager to perform well in a classroom during the early morning is like asking him or her to fly across the country and instantly adjust to the new time zone — and then do the same thing every night, for four years.”—Sleep and the teenage brain (via explore-blog)
One time I was masturbating in the shower and came so hard that I couldn’t keep in my scream but I knew my brother was in the bedroom next door and that he’d hear and know what I was doing so I quickly transitioned into singing the opening of the Lion King.
so weird it’s almost like girls actually masturbate or something

and all I’ve learnt is that the world would rather I find myself on the brink of suicide,
than fail an exam.”—Lessons (via mutilatedmemories)
i just heard a blood curdling scream coming from my sisters room so i ran in there all worried and she looks up from her laptop and whispered, “i liked one of his photos from 2009”
ok but does anyone else feel really bad for andrew garfield? it was literally his dream to play spiderman since he was a child and it’s not his fault they remade it too soon and sony did a shitty job. he was so excited to be in this movie that he showed up to comic con in a regular spiderman costume. and now he’s probably getting recast and he’s probably really upset about that, no matter how much you think the tasm movies were unnecessary or not-so-great.
This is literally now my favorite post ever, because its become thousands of reblogs consisting of passing on good fortune. Meanwhile many of y’all added your own comments saying your thanks, and continuing the chain by adding your own little bit of wishful thinking. You are all wonderful.

i mean its IMPORTANT to me why…
Honestly I want no part of any pro-vaccination discussion that does not explicitly address that autism is not a bad thing.
Because even when it’s not mentioned explicitly we all know that the only reason people don’t vaccinate their children is because they don’t want people like me to exist.
^^Wholeheartedly back this. If your reason for not vaccinating your child is a scientifically baseless fear that it will somehow make them autistic, you are suggesting that they, first of all, would be ‘broken’ if they were autistic, and, second of all, that you would love them less if they were autistic. This makes you a bad parent and also a very dubious person.
every time i point out that sexualising things explicitly linked to little girls/children is fucked up i get messages like “be careful not to kink shame!! uwu!!” go fuck yourselves you deserve to be shamed
Always remember that pedophilia isn’t a kink, it’s disgusting and scarring :)
