A paraphrased quote from Dave Simmons, leader of the strike, from his rally speech. “ 10% girls, beggars, physically disabled, old women, black people, and such “
Paraphrased due to ableist and racist language, full Quote here
My sincerest apologies, but I apparently can’t do fractions. The quote is “one-fifth” and that is twenty percent, not ten percent. That still would not affect the roughly 3-5% number that I stated again. -mod Syd
The Mona Lisa smile of Ukrainian model Sheela Asane (38D-28-35, 5 ft 8 in, 143 lbs, 1996- ).
Update:@eunectes correctly points out that the lovely model’s name is probably not Sheela Asane. In fact, MetArt identifies her only as “Sheela A.” It turns out that Asane –or, more accurately, Åsane– is a borough in the city of Bergen in Norway.

Tumblr has always been a fierce believer in free speech and the power it gives to the people who wield it. Throughout history, free speech has been the most important tool used to fight for racial and social justice. The protests being held in honor of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery are no different. They are important. They should not be ignored or derided. The disproportionate violence Black people face from those who have power in our country is not acceptable. It’s on all of us, regardless of race, to stand up for what is right, to demand justice, and to demand change.
Say their names.
Black lives matter.
Reblogging this because I checked the Tony McDade fund only to see it’s been changed to a fund for someone named Tony Bartlett, dating back to December 2019. Please correct this
thank you for flagging. We’ve fixed the link to a petition in our original post and will update the post further with the correct link when a truly official fund is available. Please continue spreading Tony McDade’s story
Yes, it does sound like salmon snake to a modern speaker, but etymologically it’s something completely different: it’s an old loan from Old Swedish, floghdrake, that means a flying snake. Finns couldn’t pronounce the many consonants at the beginning of the word, so it changed in their mouths into lohi that sounds quite similar and happens to mean salmon. Käärme is a direct translation of the word drake, snake.
I’ve made a couple of posts about this, and will continue to do so as long as I see these translations going around. This is why language is so interesting.
Some red flags I’ve seen when reading posts here on Tumblr have been really common. Some posts are rather suspicious. I’m not saying all of these beings are bad or fake, but there’s a higher chance for these types of beings to be kinnies and not actual otherkin. I don’t know someone elses identity and I don’t claim to either. These are just some common misrepresentations I’ve seen flying around everywhere…
1. Kinning, kins, and being a kinnie for fun. Otherkin and therian isn’t a choice. It is not a trend, a fashion style, a fetish, or any of that nonsense. Not petplay, not pet regression… oh hunny no. It’s an identity, not a hobby. It is not a coping mechanism either, same thing as having fun or escaping reality. Otherkin is reality. You might want to look into the “furry fandom” or other fandoms if you think it is for fun.
2. Choosing a kintype / theriotype. This is simply not possible. Just because you think lions are badass or raccoons are cute and quirky, doesn’t mean you get to pick it yourself and pretend to be one. It is an identity, not a choice.
3. Kintype / theriotype appearance and separate beings. There is a difference between “this is my theriotype” and “Oh this pic looks like me.” You don’t get to customize what your theriotype looks like. Sorry, but no, you aren’t a pure white wolf fox cat hybrid with four wings and neon blue eyes with magical powers named Luna. Kintype don’t have names. It is you! You can have a nickname like anyone else, but not your kintype. Your kintype is a general species, not an individual who’s separate from yourself!!
Oh goodness, I’ve gotten carried away ranting but these are some of the biggest things that bother me. There’s many more things that are misrepresentitive, like “kin is just quadrobics” or “I’m an angry animal who wants to kill every human ever” or “kin is just extreme furries” which is all false for many reasons… but that’s for another day. Let me rest before I handle those ones next.
Tell us about the country you live in! Where do you live? What languages do they speak in your country? What’s the weather like? Does your country have some foods/drinks/monuments that are typical for your country?
In Amerika spreken mensen veel verschillende talen zoals Engels, Spaan, Frans, Russisch, en Chinees. Mijn moedertaal is Amerikaanse Gebarentaal, maar de meeste mensen spreken het niet en geloven het Engels met gebaren is. Veel horende mensen denken dat alle doven mensen gebruiken een “universeel gebarentaal”, echter dat niet klopt.
Amerikaanse Gebarentaal is een echte taal met eigen grammatica en woorden. Soms kijk ik naar Nederlandse gebarentaal en denk dat ik het begrijpen, maar de betekenissen van de gebaren zijn helemaal verschillend. Bijvoorbeeld de Amerikaanse Gebarentaal gebaar voor “wit” betekent “zoon” in Nederlandse Gebarentaal en het gebaar voor “groen” in Nederlandse Gebarentaal betekent “trein” in Amerikaanse Gebarentaal.
Het weer in Amerika verschilt van dag tot dag en ook van staat tot staat. In mijn staat, het is mogelijk om een zonnige dag te hebben maar de volgende dag is erg koud met sneeuw op de grond. Daarom moet je elke dag op het internet voor de weersvoorspelling kijken.
Amerika heeft geen standaard cuisine, maar fastfood restaurants zijn hier typisch. Er zijn ook restaurants met eten van andere landen zoals China, Japan en Mexico. Sommige restaurants zijn een combinatie van twee culturen, bijvoorbeeld Tex-Mex.
Een populair Amerikaans monument is Mount Rushmore, maar het is ook controversieel omdat die berg een belangrijke spiritual betekenis voor de Lakota mensen heeft. Andere Amerikaanse monuments zijn het Vrijheidsbeeld, het Lincolnmonument en het Washingtonmonument. Ook zijn de Nationale Parken toeristische attracties.

* the Oxford comma is not a thing in Dutch
** this is right but “Daarom moet je elke dag op het internet kijken voorde weersvoorspelling” is more natural
*** okay we were big time confused about this because we could not for the love of God decide whether “Lakota” is an adjective or a noun here (because that would affect whether you’d write is as one word or as two words). Not that it matters that much, because “de Lakota” is much more natural anyway!
**** again grammatically completely correct, but “een belangrijke spirituele betekenis heeft voor de Lakota” is more natural.
Your virtually only problem here would be word order, but only so in more complex sentences. You’re doing a great job, keep up the good work!
I’m kinda sad, all the ones i can find that look like this one are shopped as hell, they’re apparently normally black and bright shades of yellow and orange
So what I’m hearing is photoshop is a corrupting, forbidden magic that this frog has been subjected to
i mean you either pay dearly for it or steal it so yeah that tracks
I’m happy to inform you that it is a real frog! Atelopus barbotini. The color expression can range from intense fluorescent pink-purple to duller “potters pink” shades.
But MOST of the supposed photos of these are just other types of dart frog that’ve been photo shopped to hell.

From top to bottom there is a close-up of light green leaves, a photo of scenery made up of dark green foliage and forrest, a slim stripe of a bright pink dahlia, a slim stripe of fluffy white clouds, a slim stipe of a close up on pink flower petals, tree branches over a white-grey cloudy sky, and finally the last rays of sunset over a black horizon.]
It is a lie that women have been able to vote since 1920.
White women have been able to vote since 1920. All Native American women couldn’t vote until 1924. All Asian women couldn’t vote until 1952. All Black women couldn’t vote until 1964.
In five years there is probably going to be some big centennial celebration of women’s suffrage. But that will be a whitewashing of history. It will be an event that erases the struggles of non-white women. It will be an event that will try to hide the fact that white feminists heros like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton actively argued against the rights of people of color in order to advance their own goals.
okay so this is a good post but uh
native americans couldn’t vote in 1924.
we became citizens in 1924, in an attempt at assimilation, but this was apparently so foggy it had to be reaffirmed in 1940 so native american’s could be drafted.
but native people didn’t gain full voting right until 1964, including native women.
I’m so sorry. I should have done more research. I assumed citizenship meant voting rights, but that was naive of of me considering how much the US government hates indigenous peoples.
This post is really broad. It speaks more in terms of laws than actual conditions on the ground. Because if we take into account barriers like linguistic barriers, voter ID laws, gerrymandering, and inaccessible polling places our right to vote is still being repressed. Similarly to the way slavery still hasn’t been fully gotten rid off, we still don’t really have equal suffrage.

#btw this native women voting stuff was only if they gave up their indian status #they couldnt vote as actual natives til the late 60s #in canada at least - primadonna-grrrl
I didn’t know that. That’s horrible and disgusting. I’m actually pretty sure that counts as an act of genocide.
But fyi everyone should know that this info is only correct for the USA. I should have specified that originally.
As a Leading Man, it is your right and responsibility to give your follower corrective feedback that will help her grow and flourish as a submissive. This is a stark departure from vanilla relationships where both parties just get disappointed and mad at one another and revert to unhealthy methods to try to change the other person. In a Leader / follower relationship, the Leader corrects the follower and neither party tolerates bad relationship habits. New and inexperienced Leaders may struggle with how to actually hold their follower accountable or better yet, how to actually discipline them. So here are some thoughts as I work through these issues for myself.
Acknowledge your responsibility. This takes place long before you actually are leading a follower. Come to grips with the fact that you are going to be put into a position to where you are responsible for giving corrective feedback. Do some introspective thinking about the types of discipline that you are comfortable putting in place. Do not feel compelled to discipline a certain way just because some popular blogger on Tumblr says that it should be done a certain way. You are not them and your follower is not their follower. You are the Leader of your relationship. Employ your methods.
Refer to your right to discipline in your rules. When you are ready to Lead a follower, you should prepare for her rules that will govern the relationship. There should be a reference to the fact that discipline and correction will be a regular part of the relationship. Discuss this with your prospective follower and ensure that there is agreement.
Figure out what works best for YOUR follower. Each follower is different. One follower may love spankings and the physical pain is more pleasure than punishment. There are three main forms of discipline that resonate with followers. The key for you is to figure out what works for your individual follower. The methods you will employ will vary for each follower, but you need to ensure that you are disciplining in a way that is most effective. The goal is not to go through the motions. You actually want to change her behavior. Knowing what works for her will increase your effectiveness. So how do you know which of these will be most effective? Ask her. She knows. In time, you can test these, but most followers know what they fear and will answer honestly.
Fear of Disappointing her Leader
Fear of Physical Pain
Fear of Losing Rewards
Prepare in advance to administer discipline and give correction. Now that you have a follower who has agreed to be subject to your discipline, you need to make sure that you have the tools necessary. This doesn’t just mean that you go out and buy a paddle. It may mean that you identify a certain place in your bedroom where discipline will be administered. Perhaps a certain chair. If your primary method of disciplining is spanking, you may choose to have a certain belt that you use when the spanking is for discipline. This may be helpful to distinguish in the mind of the follower that the spanking is for discipline and not for pleasure. When you tell her to go get “The Punisher” she will know that what she is about to experience is not for pleasure.
Prepare to actually administer discipline before you begin. A Leader is in control of the follower and the relationship, but before He can lead, He has to be in control of Himself. Before you swing a belt or inflict any type of pain, make absolutely sure that you have mastered the anger and disappointment that you are feeling. If you haven’t, then physically remove yourself from your follower until you are ready to approach her with a sound mind. Take deep breaths. Develop a plan that will lead to your desired result. The fact that she is your follower does not give you the right to abuse her. You should know the difference between abuse and discipline. She should know the difference as well.
Don’t let unhealthy behavior slide. You will completely undermine the work that you have been doing in training and guiding your follower if you are not holding her accountable to your rules. The rules will lose their meaning if they are not enforced. What’s worse than that is that she will lose respect for you. She is counting on you and literally needs you to step up and be the Leader. If the rules are important to you, they will be important to her. If they are not important to you, they will not be important to her. You are the Leader and she is following your lead.
Be consistent in giving corrective feedback. Establish a nightly or weekly ritual whereby you have her kneel at your feet for the purpose of receiving both words of correction and praise. The heart of a follower is generally one that thrives when she knows that she is being pleasing. Tell her regularly how you feel. Your feedback will be important to her as it will guide her in the ways that she should modify her behavior. Keep in mind though that before you can do this, you have to be paying attention. So…pay attention. Setting a regular time for feedback will make you accountable to actually give feedback.
Discipline her and restore her. Corrective feedback and the act of discipline is wonderful in that it allows the Leader and follower to deal with the conflict and then move on. It is dealt with. Move on. Don’t hang on to your anger or disappointment. Once you deal with it, let her know that she has been restored. Do this in both your words and your physical touch. Don’t distance yourself from her afterwards, thereby continuing the punishment. Touch her. Give her lap time. Use her title. Give her words that affirm who she is to you. If you continue to hang onto your anger and continue with unhealthy behaviors, you are no better off than a vanilla couple. We are better than that.
I think you need to lay here a while and think about how you’ve been behaving lately. I’ll be back when I think you’re quite ready to adjust your attitude.
Fate brings people together from far apart. WANG BAIXI knew he was never going to be chosen as the BAT-MAN OF CHINA, which only made his determination stronger and more pure. When he did accomplish what so many others had failed at, he gained not only respect but unexpected friendship and love from SUPER-MAN and WONDER-WOMAN. Everything could have continued perfectly for BAIXI if he stayed the course. But a message from the world known cyber ghost ORACLE tempted him…
Find out what happens in Batman Incorporated#1:Bat-Man of China, out June 15!
The last month has been tough for comic veterans, especially in the art world. I wanted to do a Neal Adams homage for this cover and I’m fairly proud of how it turned out~
aaaaaaaaaaaAnd I’m an idiot and did all this under the mistake. I was actually using a Jim Aparo cover as reference so uh. Ignore me XD
