A god reason to vote bernie is I am positive that Disney executives would rather eat glass than have a Bernie Sanders animatronic permanently in place at their terrible hall of presidents attraction and I think they might just close it rather than having to do it
So when Earth gets its own permanent superstorm like Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and it makes it so the tropics are basically no longer habitable by humans is it going to have one of these random old-person hurricane names
How fucked up would it be if they chose your first name for that storm
Like you’d pretty much have to change it, right? The storm’s not going away and keeping your name would be in pretty poor taste, I’d think
in a Young Adult novel it would just be called The Storm
In a Terry Pratchett novel it would just be called Alfred. Not Hurricane Alfred, or Tropical Storm Alfred, just Alfred. This might be brought up once by a naive, sympathetic viewpoint character, but some wiser (for certain values of wise) character will admonish them for discrimination against natural phenomena, and noting that we would never call a human “Human Jim”. Later in the story, the Alfred’s individuality and relatability will be a significant plot point.
in a cyberpunk novel it would be the second half of an ordinary word, with an apostrophe at the beginning. the ‘phoon, the ‘cane, etc.
goddammit you’re absolutely right
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS POST IS CORRECT AND I’M ANGRY
The casting call for Artemis Fowl described him as a boy with a “fun-loving, open heart” so you knew before they even landed their eyes on the first mediocre white person the movie was irretrievably fucked
The casting call described him as what now
last i checked back in 6th grade, artemis was a fuckin dick of a child
“emotional intelligence” artemis fowl literally would rather die than express an emotion
im pretty sure he actually has on multiple occassions
In honor of the trailer dropping
Our hearts go out to the Artemis Fowl fandom in their time of horror.
literally every sleep advice pamphlet and website: don’t do things before bedtime! no reading! no video games! don’t watch tv! nothing stimulating at all within two hours of going to bed! :)
me, an adhd: you fools. you buffoons. i can’t even manage one minute without stimulation. i will die before following this advice and that is a threat
My favourite genre of movie is ‘vapid girly teen flicks from the 90’s and early 00’s that actually have important feminist and socially conscious messages’.
Some examples;
Don’t be afraid to break the pointless and sexist rules society has imposed upon you, especially if they stand between you and your dreams.
Learn to recognise your self worth beyond the trappings of success.
Recognising and working to correct your white privilege, is not only the right thing to do morally, but will also lead to a more diverse and exciting playing field.
You absolutely do not have to sacrifice your femininity or sense of self in order to make your way in a traditionally masculine field.
