He made it with filmmaker and BLM activist Sol Guy and you wouldn’t know from the title, but it’s actually a short film, not a documentary, about Darren Wilson being a fucking liar.
Tumblr completely erasing the work of a Black activist/artist while simultaneously finding ways to slander an LGBTQ Jewish person at the same time due to literally not bothering to find out what the film was about in the first place? I’m shocked.
Definitely. The narrative makes such a big deal about what clever players Petyr and Varys are- why not do something much more interesting and do it with a little girl? I mean, we have one who learns a dozen languages and becomes a skilled killer at age 9 while another exceptionally bright kid is becoming a tree wizard, plus a girl who survived fire to hatch dragons so, it’s hardly the picture of unrealistic for a girl groomed to be a lady becomes a good diplomat.
I also don’t just want to see more of the arts or history and whatnot- I want GRRM to EXPLAIN why these are important. Because they are, and the GA for both series just… doesn’t get it. (Even fan faves Tyrion and Arya acknowledging Sansa’s talents in the arts or diplomacy and etiquette isn’t enough.) He needs to show real examples because in spite of their praise for the “realism” of the series, a lot of modern readers are frankly, really naive about how things worked back then and honestly don’t realize or care to see the value of women’s work back then. Embroidery and poetry and sewing might be considered frivolous hobbies today but seeing was absolutely ESSENTIAL to both stay warm and show status, and the arts have always mattered to teach history and ideas as well as to simply create some beauty to feed the soul with. (What do you think people did in peace time when nobody had any wars to worry about?)
Let Sansa keep people warm in the War with her sewing, maybe with other women (like, maybe, including her sister who has learned to sew better?) singing hymns to keep up the morale like in the Battle of Blackwater. Let her excellent knowledge of the Great Houses and smaller ones and the ways wars have been won and lost from all the times she’s listened to songs or pored over her books come in handy more. Let her make big decisions with how to protect her people like in the show (which includes sums. IDC what Arya said, Sansa does a great job in the Vale so I think her poor mathematic skill were exaggerated). Let her excel in the areas her siblings don’t and let her be allowed to shine and contribute in a way that’s presented as equally meaningful to magic or fighting.
How could you be against free college. Like if I think about student loans for more than a few minutes I think about jumping off a cliff have some pity damn
Because hundreds of thousands of people have already paid for their tuition. Should they be reimbursed? It’s not fair to the people who have already paid/ are paying for college. That’s why.
Yeah I love thinking how my kids are gonna cry and have panic attacks because of the heavy student loans they’re gonna have just because they want to go to a good school. Yeah I really want them to suffer just like I did bc yknow I paid why should they have it any easier than me?? I don’t want America to be better than I found it. Fuck future generations.
i dont think we should use cars because it’s not fair to the people who had to travel via horseback. should they be resurrected with necromancy and allowed to apply for a drivers license? think logically here
Also, like, I am one hundred percent in favour of people being reimbursed actually. That sounds like a great next step!
I’m 35, and I’m still paying my loans. Would I like to be reimbursed? Fuck yeah. But I also support free college from this moment on.
There are two kinds of people in the world, those who say “I suffered, why shouldn’t they?” And those who say “No one should have to suffer like I did.”
everyone around me: *dating* *getting engaged* *getting married* *having kids* *figuring out their careers* *generally having their lives put together*
apparently ppl don’t know about waifu2x??? despite its… concerning name it’s literally the most convenient website i’ve ever come across as an artist
it allows you to resize artwork without it becoming pixellated. this is a MASSIVE help if you, for example, make lineart too small or something. it works best with things that 1. have no textures 2. have smooth lines 3. have cel shading, but it still works really damn well for things that don’t fit that profile
here’s an example:
normal size
2x in paint
2x in waifu2x
so like, there’s that. go wild
Original:
Photoshop scaled:
Waifu2x scaled:
It’s legit!! Tell your friends!
waifu2x-multi is the newer version. It allows for rescaling multiple pictures at a time and to scale them up to 10x the original size.
