. yknow i was thinking abt what you could possibly be referring to when you said you found something worse but i couldnt have FATHOMED this its like a layer cake of hilarious absurdity
so many characters are just dicks for absolutely no reason and i would. simply have to punch them. the way people treat each other in like every single sitcom makes me so angry and i would be on full punch mode all the time and go to comedy jail
if that sewer clown makes himself an image of your worst fear before he eats you, i could kick his ass. what’s he gonna do turn into the physical manifestation of being abandoned by your closest friends? gonna turn into an ooky spooky visual representation of catastrophic failure and loss? jokes on you dumbass the only thing im afraid of is myself
This is an actual plot point in the book though as I recall, he doesn’t like hunting adults usually because hes a) a cowardly parasite and b) Children have very tangible fears that can be easily manifested physically while adults generally have quite abstract or conceptual fears about the future, or events, or feelings.
pennywise aint shit
Abstract fears have reached the youngins these days, pussywise gonna starve
big fucking surprise but trump is blaming the temple for not having been armed lmao
“if they had some kind of a protection inside the temple, maybe it could have been a very much different situation” —trump in response to a reporter’s question about gun control
what is it gonna take for you freaks to realize that antisemitism is still real and is deadly, right now, in 2018
you all need to fucking reblog this no offense. especially if you aren’t jewish
source, and another source in which the synagogue says they do in fact have guards, but only on major holidays.
how far do people have to go just to survive, and how long is this going to go on until the blame is finally focused on antisemitism itself?
I have a hill to die on right here so im just gonna go off for a second. It wasnt until this year that i realized security is not a normal regular everyday thing for churchgoers. I never realized until this year that all the cameras and guards and cop cars and bag checks were for a reason. It was just how i grew up, thats just how it went. You checked in with the security desk, a guard would look in your purse or tallis bag and then youd be on your merry way. It never occurred to me that they were Actually Looking For Threats, its just always been a part of my religious experience.
We know people hate us. We know people want to kill us, that’s kind of our entire history.
Those people who were murdered didnt die because they were unprepared, they died because somebody wanted them dead.
אנחנו נתגבר ונשרוד גם את זה.
Also just for the record, the implication that being Not Christian means you should be prepared to die at any time is sickening. Fuck you.
If you are ever doubting the way internet and popular accounts can spread misinformation about things, just look at all the shit surrounding around the word “Allosexual”.
It just means “someone who experiences sexual attraction” and was coined by ace people to describe their experiences and struggles as people who DIDNT face sexual attraction.But just bc a bunch of homophobic ace people and trolls pretending to be ace to make ace people look bad used the word to make homophobic and sex shaming comments, aphobes started to spread the idea that the word alloexual itself was homophobic and sex shamey,,started acting like “allo” was a slur which was meant to sex shame gay ppl ,“”“reclaimed”“"that “”slur”” quickly and now theres a whole bunch of people here calling themselves a “proud allogay” n having urls like “filthyallo-privilige” when it LITERALLY wasnt inherently harmful and bigoted towards ANYONE
Honestly I suspect they dislike ‘allosexual’ from the same reason some cis people dislike ‘cisgender’: they want to be called ‘normal’ so they can point at us as abnormal deviants.
History wants so badly for Cleopatra to be beautiful. Like they can’t conceive of Rome being intimidated by anything less
because being a linguist, fleet commander, and powerful ruler doesn’t matter, only her looks
Her Arab contemporaries raved about her being very interested and knowledgeable in the sciences.
She completely reformed the system in Alexandria, and Egypt at large; making it much more of a functional powerhouse.
She did what 300 years of her ancestors couldn’t: Managed to get the support of both the Greek AND Egyptian subjects she ruled.
There is a sculpture that has been identified as her, through comparisons to coins minted under her rule, that proves beyond a doubt that she wasn’t particularly beautiful.
It isn’t that people just happen to believe it by mistake. Rome was fucking terrified of her and painted her as a vapid, scheming, beautiful, sex obsessed queen to discredit her to their people. She was a threat, and that was how they handled it. The unfortunate thing is that that is the most surviving record of her. A smear campaign against one of the smartest, most powerful women in human history.
This is a woman who became her father’s co-ruler at nearly 14 years old in order to train for her actual ascension to the throne, who was forced to marry her own siblings in order to keep her power, and it’s widely believed that she poisoned them so she could rule alone. She’s a Pharaoh who led Egypt into a new era of wealth, who went fearlessly into war to protect her rule and Egypt’s independence from the Roman empire, a woman who took her own life rather than face being raped and tortured by her conquerors, knowing full well that she was leaving her surviving children in their uncertain mercy. Cleopatra is one of the most interesting, morally ambiguous, complexing historical figures we have and the media has turned her into a tantalizing sex object for the male gaze.
Even after Cleopatra died her influence on those around her lived on: her daughter, Cleopatra Selene, was the only child of Cleopatra’s to live to adulthood, and she became queen of Mauretania along with her husband Juba and it’s believed they married for love, which was extremely rare for that time period, especially among nobles/the upper class. Not only did she grow up in the house of her mother’s worst enemy and technical murderer, but she still went on to become a queen who possessed an equal amount of political power as her husband, even having her face minted on coins on the opposite side of his likeness, showing they were equal rulers.
Cleopatra and her influence on history, and her daughter’s legacy, have both been brushed aside in favour of the sexy Cleopatra visage. It’s bullshit. Egyptian mythology is interesting and vivid, and full of powerful women and it’s bullshit that we take some of the most powerful women in Africa’s history and try to turn them into fashion icons or sluts who only ruled through toying with men.
I LIVE FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THIS, people still refuse to believe that a woman can/could have achieved anything without beauty or fucking magical powers
