IT IS AN IDEA I HAD A WHILE BACK BUT IT IS ACTUALLY KIND OF FLESHING ITSELF OUT:
Manic Pixie Dream Girls as a narrative are kind of universally reviled, correct? I was thinking one day like, how do you make one AWESOME? Because movies featuring MPDGs are never ever about the MPDG herself, because she is not a person, she is an idea. And because we only see her through the eyes of fuckin Zack Braff or whatever, she is basically a blank slate.
My instinct is always to turn a blank slate character into something violent and dark and awful, so why not make her secretly terrifying??? Not in an existential way, but in a badass spysassin way.
BASICALLY MY MOVIE GOES LIKE THIS: -

Can we fucking talk about this for a second?
Can we really?
Because this shit right here was the EXACT. SAME. REACTION that I fucking got when I was recovering from my eating disorder.
Folks ENCOURAGED ME TO STARVE MYSELF when I was losing so much weight.
ENCOURAGED ME.
And had nothing but mumbles for me when I called them out on that bullshit years later.
Because we really do not fucking care HOW you got skinny. Just as long as you got skinny and stayed there.
We don’t give no fuck about health. We give a fuck about how fuckable you look to mainstream.
So your ass could have damn near died, but it don’t matter doe, cuz you can fit into a size 6 now.
Concern trolls and thinspo mothafuckers can forever miss me with that bullshit
That’s an important point. When a fat person has an eating disorder, we say they’re making a ‘lifestyle change’. And it’s so dangerous.
If any of those so concerned with my health actually were, they wouldn’t have encouraged me to lose weight at literally any cost.
It is heartbreaking how many of my fat and ‘inbetweenie’ friends have suffered with this, or otherwise harmed their bodies through dieting or weight loss surgery and were supported in it by friends and family.
^ I recently hit my “healthy” weight range after losing a substantial amount of weight. Two nurses congratulated me profusely and told me how great that was and to keep it up. I was there for heart and kidney issues related to my eating disorder. People really don’t give a shit how you lose the weight as long as you’re skinny.

how dare that victim not have bulletproof flesh
how dare their body bleed out from the wound
how dare they die on the way to the hospital
those poor gunmen. their lives ahead of them in ruins because someone was inconsiderate enough to allow themselves to be shot.
you see, it doesn’t fucking work this way.

do you ever see somebody say something about a character and you just want to stick your upper half through the computer, grab their face and whisper,
“no
you
completely
missed
the point
of that character”
and then slowly slide back into the computer while staring at them

Quote reblogged from composite fantasyBeing a feminist doesn’t mean suddenly no longer liking problematic things. If you stopped liking everything that was sexist in media and entertainment there would be no media or entertainment left. Being a feminist, to me, is being aware of what it is you’re liking, and of its problematic aspects.

And also not silencing people who can’t enjoy these things because of their problematic content.

Here it is! I’m not 100% sure if I like how it came out… it almost seems a bit too cutesy for the subject. Maybe I just like drawing cute clothes and bright colours too much!
This is for a contest with the Canadian Human Rights Agencies for their conference in May. All the Advanced Illustration students and Design students had to enter as part of their final. Kinda pissed that they required us to print it off at 24 x 36…. which I think is way too big and expensive ($50!!) for most students and their budget. We don’t even get to keep the posters. And the top prize is only $200. I feel kinda ripped off. :/
EDIT: A couple of people have sent me notes saying that “Transgendered” is incorrect terminology. I apologize, I kind of added the text last minute, and should have known better. I’ve uploaded a fixed version. :)
This poster is a good reminder that pronouns aren’t “preferred”. They’re NECESSARY.

‘get back in the kitchen’

I’ll go back in the kitchen
but you’re leaving the house in a bodybag
And the award for best response to “get back in the kitchen” goes to this post.

Quote reblogged from A Spoonful of AwesomeAfter spending all day in school, our children are forced to begin a second shift, with more academic assignments to be completed at home. This arrangement is rather odd when you stop to think about it, as is the fact that few of us ever do stop to think about it.
Instead of assuming that homework should be a given, or that it allegedly benefits children, I’ve spent the last few years reviewing the available research and talking to parents, teachers and students. My findings can be summarized in seven words: Homework is all pain and no gain.
The pain is obvious to kids but isn’t always taken seriously by adults. Backpacks stuffed with assignments leave students exhausted, frustrated, less interested in intellectual pursuits and lacking time to do things they enjoy. “Most of what homework is doing,” says literacy expert Harvey Daniels, “is driving kids away from learning.”
We parents, meanwhile, turn into nags. After being away from our children all day, the first words out of our mouths, sadly, may be: “So, did you finish your homework?” One mother told me it permanently damaged her relationship with her son because it forced her to be an enforcer rather than a mom.
The surprising news, though, is that there are virtually no pros to balance the cons. Even if you regard grades or test scores as good measures of learning, which I do not, doing homework has no statistical relationship to achievement in elementary school. In high school, some studies do find a correlation between homework and test scores, but it’s usually fairly small. And in any case, it’s far from clear that the former causes the latter. And if you’re wondering, not a single study has ever supported the folk wisdom that homework teaches good work habits or develops positive character traits such as self-discipline, responsibility or independence.Alfie Kohn, The Case Against Homework (via thislifeunforgiven)
