Pros To Finishing A Show:

I think someone desperately needs to explain the concept of statistics to “men are more unsafe walking home alone at night!!!!!!!!!!” guys.

because it’s seriously concerning to see people endlessly spouting that fact and not thinking just a little longer about what that actually means. Ignoring the fact that I actually looked for any sort of study that suggested even remotely that men were more likely to be attacked physically, do none of you realize that means they survived long enough to report the incident? More men reporting being attacked means they survived the encounter. Less women reporting incidents doesn’t inherently mean they’re not getting attacked, it just means they didn’t report it.. wonder why…….

it simply must be stated that trans men who present femininely on purpose have such a vibe about them

maybe it’s the confidence that requires, especially since I’ve seen a lot of men talking about how it still gives them dysphoria, but they just radiate this undefined swagger. Like.. rock on dude, I am in awe of your strength and dedication to your choice.

Lookin’ funky fresh

I cant express with words how happy this image makes me feel

I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally. . . .

It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. . . .

The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. . . .

Excerpt from George Washington's farewell address

You can read the full address here, this specific quote comes from pages 13-14

at this point we should just babygirlify the joker

Guys, the more I think about it, the more I fear that they simply won't care about our input. Like shane and ryan, both went to school for filmography, and they've always wanted to make TV quality content. Every pod, they talk about some movie or other piece of film media. They love it. The yellow and blue text has always been enough for us, yes, but I worry that it will never be enough for them. Our devotion is irrelevant. It just really sucks that their values and goals don't seem to align with ours.

my favourite genre of images right now

i was gonna stop posting about the watcher fiasco but i saw some really confusing???? takes on my dash so I'm throwing in my unsolicited thoughts even though it's not the most eloquent

1) people who were criticising watcher's decision after the initial announcement are NOT bullies. The boys made a bad decision and had to deal with the consequences. Just because you like them doesn't mean that people expressing their (understandable and quite just) disappointment are bullies

2) people who aren't won over by the apology aren't just "haters" and "internet trolls". While the apology seems to be a step in the right direction, we have NO WAY to know if they are sincere about it yet. They might show growth in the future but only time will tell. And even if they do show growth, fans whose feelings about watcher have been tainted because of this fiasco do not owe them their loyalty when said loyalty has already been disrespected once
