this 50ā€²s hungarian comic strip Iā€™d never heard of until now is so damn cute for something that also gets so horny

It helps that the writer was trying to create something he hoped would appeal to women as much as men.

Yeah and I think where it really succeeds vs. modern anime wifey fantasy shit is that Jucika really is just a character super comfortable with being sexual, likes looking sexy and even has no shame in using it to get her way:
ā€¦.But at the same time, she doesnā€™t tolerate being objectified against her wishes:
ā€¦.And the comic takes her side in both cases, whereas Iā€™ve seen countless modern narratives in which this same character would have only been framed as like a Slutty
ā„¢

 Bitch
ā„¢

 or full blown villain.

One of the things I also really like about this comic, besides whatā€™s already been stated, is that the humor isnā€™t always about her being sexy. Sometimes itā€™s just about other goofy things in her life!

oh yes many of them are experienes just anybody can relate to
but then thereā€™s also the time she justā€¦.built a functional AI?
she just didnā€™t predict how the robot rebellion would really manifest

Every time I see this post it has more of these comics on it and they are all super adorable <3

ā€œI know this is horrible,ā€ del Toro continues. ā€œYou sound like a complete lunatic, but I saw a UFO. I didnā€™t want to see a UFO. It was horribly designed. I was with a friend. We bought a six-pack. We didnā€™t consume it, and there was a place called Cerro del Cuatro, ā€œMountain of the Four,ā€ on the periphery of Guadalajara. We said, ā€˜Letā€™s go to the highway.ā€™ We sit down to watch the stars and have the beer and talk. We were the only guys by the freeway. And we saw a light on the horizon going super-fast, not linear. And I said, ā€˜Honk and flash the lights.ā€™ And we started honking.ā€
The UFO, says del Toro, ā€œWent from 1,000 meters away [to much closer] in less than a second ā€” and it was so crappy. It was a flying saucer, so clichĆ©d, with lights [blinking]. Itā€™s so sad: I wish I could reveal theyā€™re not what you think they are. They are what you think they are. And the fear we felt was so primal. I have never been that scared in my life. We jumped in the car, drove really fast. It was following us, and then I looked back and it was gone.ā€

ā€œthere is intelligent life out there but itā€™s really fuckin tackyā€


The real reason we havenā€™t made official contact with alien life is because they were offended by his remarks and donā€™t want to come back until we apologise

A punk stops during a gay pride parade to allow a mesmerized child to touch his jacket spikes.

I lost control about reblogging this picture.Ā 

and this is the perfect ā€œfuck youā€ to people who stereotype people like this.Ā 

literally one of my favourite pictures ever

nothing more punk than letting small children touch your clothes spikes or hair spikes

If you think punks would miss the opportunity to be a good fucking human to kids you donā€™t know much about punks

Being nice to kids is literally the number one punk activity


THIS IS THE SAME DUDE

BITCH NO WAYYYY




I have a vivid memory of being about 14 and seeing a hardcore punk walking down the street in a busy shopping district with a tiny white kitten tucked in his leather jacket. Thatā€™s goals.

one of my favorite memories is my first punk show and how welcoming and friendly everyone was. I was 9 and my brother brought me and people were putting me on their shoulders and telling me about where they got their clothes or how much a little punk I was.


I love punk culture because from the outside it looks aggressive and harsh. But once you realize thatā€™s just their armour and that they are kinder and more proactive about human rights than the ā€œniceā€ looking people you get comfort from their presence.  
Not all things that look aggressive are aggressive. Not all things that look safe are safe. 

Punk is safe BECAUSE it is aggressive. Punk - when done right - kicks out fascists and rapists, defends communities, fights injustice. All of which require aggression.

A punk stops during a gay pride parade to allow a mesmerized child to touch his jacket spikes.

I lost control about reblogging this picture.Ā 

and this is the perfect ā€œfuck youā€ to people who stereotype people like this.Ā 

literally one of my favourite pictures ever

nothing more punk than letting small children touch your clothes spikes or hair spikes

If you think punks would miss the opportunity to be a good fucking human to kids you donā€™t know much about punks

Being nice to kids is literally the number one punk activity


THIS IS THE SAME DUDE

BITCH NO WAYYYY




I have a vivid memory of being about 14 and seeing a hardcore punk walking down the street in a busy shopping district with a tiny white kitten tucked in his leather jacket. Thatā€™s goals.

one of my favorite memories is my first punk show and how welcoming and friendly everyone was. I was 9 and my brother brought me and people were putting me on their shoulders and telling me about where they got their clothes or how much a little punk I was.


I love punk culture because from the outside it looks aggressive and harsh. But once you realize thatā€™s just their armour and that they are kinder and more proactive about human rights than the ā€œniceā€ looking people you get comfort from their presence.  
Not all things that look aggressive are aggressive. Not all things that look safe are safe. 

Punk is safe BECAUSE it is aggressive. Punk - when done right - kicks out fascists and rapists, defends communities, fights injustice. All of which require aggression.

Because treating people fairly often means treating them differently.
This is something that I teach my students during the first week of school and they understand it. Eight year olds can understand this and all it costs is a box of band-aids.
I have each students pretend they got hurt and need a band-aid. Children love band-aids. I ask the first one where they are hurt. If he says his finger, I put the band-aid on his finger. Then I ask the second one where they are hurt. No matter what that child says, I put the band-aid on their finger exactly like the first child. I keep doing that through the whole class. No matter where they say their pretend injury is, I do the same thing I did with the first one.
After they all have band-aids in the same spot, I ask if that actually helped any of them other than the first child. I say,Ā ā€œWell, I helped all of you the same! You all have one band-aid!ā€ And theyā€™ll try to get me to understand that they were hurt somewhere else. I act like Iā€™m just now understanding it. Then I explain,Ā ā€œThere might be moments this year where some of you get different things because you need them differently, just like you needed a band-aid in a different spot.ā€Ā 
If at any time any of my students ask why one student has a different assignment, or gets taken out of the class for a subject, or gets another teacher to come in and help them throughout the year, I remind my students of the band-aids they got at the start of the school year and they stop complaining. Thatā€™s why eight year olds can understand equity.Ā 


I remember reading somewhere once ā€œwe should be speaking of equity instead of equalityā€ and that is a principle that applies here me thinks

    Animals, Apparently, and Comfortable: did you know?
 When GiGi the horned owl sustained
 a near-fatal head injury, she was
 nursed back to health by Doug Pojeky
 at an animal rescue in Mississippi. He
 soon left town to visit family, but when
 he finally returned, she danced on his
 arm, put her head on his shoulder, and
 hugged him with her wings.

When GiGi the horned owl sustained 
a near-fatal head injury, she was 
nursed back to health by Doug Pojeky 
at an animal rescue in Mississippi.
When Doug was growing up, a great horned owl used to perch on the top of his family barn. His father saw the owl often, but he and the rest of his family rarely did. However, on the morning of his fatherā€™s death, the owl was spotted overlooking the farm house, where Pojekyā€™s father had passed away, before flying off into the woods.
ā€œFor some reason when that bird was hugging me, all I could think of was my dad.ā€

no no no no no
this owl is not a happy owl
this owl is an injured, weak owl with a head injury
this owl is not displaying appropriate owl behaviors and is ill-equipped for life as a wild owl. this owl should be trying to escape and/or murder this man because that is just what owls do, especially great horned owls
apparently this owl got released which really alarmed me because either she made a miraculous recovery or she was completely not in any way ready for release and doesnā€™t have great chances of survival
believe me, i wish owls were all cuddly sweethearts who gave hugs and appreciated our care but that is so very much not reality. even the sweetest owl i know - who is the light of my life and a joy to work with - likes to murder stuff and will hiss and threaten you if he doesnā€™t trust you or wants you to gtfo. and when i sayĀ ā€œsweetest owlā€ basically i just mean that heā€™s bonded to his two main trainers and is comfortable with us but if you ask anyone else heā€™s a grouchy old man with sharp talons. because heā€™s an owl. heā€™s not a snuggly pet. and heā€™s a 14-year-old captive-bred barn owl who has lived with humans and been an education bird his whole life, not a wild great horned owl who is clearly injured and having a shitty week of being grabbed and handled by giant mammals. this great horned owl is not a happy owl and it certainly isnā€™t feeling any sort of gratitude. mostly sheā€™s too sick/injured to have enough energy to defend herself or hold her wings up or keep her eyes open.
when wild animals get released itā€™s nice to think that they are silently thanking us for saving them, but thatā€™s what we donā€™t want. we want them to be ready for life in the wild, which means we want them to hate us and want to avoid humans forever, because that gives them the best chance of survival. the best thanks you can get from a rehabilitated wild animal is when they fly/run/swim the fuck away from you as soon as you open the cage and never look back. those are the successes.

I can preach what @talons-mcbeak said

This owl obviously is not aware of anything that is going on and is showing signs of a very very serious head injury (trust me, Iā€™ve seen my fair share). You can see in the gif she attempted to bite him. She is just too weak and sick to be able to stop this person from manhandling her.

This man is not handling this bird right at all, and wild great horned owls are never friendly. 
That owl should not be put into those positions or used to promote such a disgusting lie by a man who obviously doesnā€™t know what heā€™s doing.

It is a wild animal not a domestic. Do not believe this bullshit story!


This!
This 100 times over!
UGH.
I keep seeing this owl picture and story passed around on Facebook, Tumblr, etc. with captions of ā€˜awwwwwā€™ and ā€˜Cute!ā€™ and so forth.
No.
Itā€™s not ā€˜cuteā€™. 
That owl is so unfit to be released and weak and probably in high states of stress. Anyone who knows the slightest thing about owl behaviour knows that this is not a ā€˜thankfulā€™ or ā€˜happy animalā€™. Owls canā€™t even feel any love-related emotions to humans. Period.
Please share the truth about this story. The above two comments say a lot. :/
Shame on that ā€˜rehabberā€™ for passing on such false information and for treating that poor injured owl in such a way.

    America, Drunk, and Fucking: yes its true Moscow ran out of vodka during the victory celebration of WWII,

[Image Description: Tag reading ā€œyes its true Moscow ran out of vodka during the victory celebration of WWIIā€]

The AO3 Tag of the Day is: Please ask me about the Russian vodka ban in 1914? 

What was the Russian Vodka Ban in 1914?

Ok, time to nerd. So Russians like vodka, ok? I donā€™t think this is a big revelation to anyone, but I feel like I should make it clear. Vodka isā€¦importantā€¦in Russia.So, in 1904, Russia was preparing to go fight a war with Japan. Because, you know, sometimes youā€™re trying to retain control of a warm-water port and also thereā€™s racism and then you need to have a war about it. So the Tsar orders his army to mobilize to go fight Japan, only thereā€™s a problem: instead of mobilizing in an organized manner, soldiers are buying vodka and getting drunk out of their minds and then, like, not showing up for the war. Which, I mean, valid. I might get drunk and not show up if someone told me I had to go fight a war, and I donā€™t even drink. But it was a problem, and it actually really messed up Russiaā€™s mobilization plans.So 1914 rolls around, and the Russians are going to go to war with Austria. Because, you know, sometimes international tensions in a multipolar situation get really heightened and then some asshole in an ugly uniform gets shot and then you need to have a war about it. So the Tsar orders his army to mobilize to go fight Austria, and this time, he has a plan. Vodka will not defeat him! He bans the sale of vodka in Russia. All of it. First for the duration of the mobilization period, and then for the duration of the war. Great idea, right?Only thereā€™s a problem. The reason the Tsar can just stop all vodka sales with a snap of his fingers is that the Tsar sells all the vodka. Vodka is a state monopoly. You literally canā€™t get vodka from anyone but the government. Which makes it very easy to ban, but, wellā€¦.Remember how I said Russians really like vodka? Iā€™m just gonna say it again: Russians really like vodka. Really, really like it. So it makes sense that, if youā€™re a government with chronic money problems, you might create a state monopoly on vodka sales in order to raise some cash. You might raise a lot of cash. A huge fucking ton of cash. Literally one third of the Russian governmentā€™s revenue came from selling vodka. One fucking third.Hereā€™s another thing: Wars? They cost money. A lot of it. And if youā€™re the Russian state in, say, 1914, and youā€™re about to kick off WWI, it might behoove you to not literally eliminate a third of your fucking revenue with a snap of your fingers! I donā€™t think thatā€™s such a hard idea to wrap your head around, but what the fuck do I know. But anyway, Russia had chronic money problems throughout the war and couldnā€™t outfit their soldiers or feed their people or any of that shit. Also there was a revolution and communism and such-like. The end.Anyway, this story has several morals and they are as follows:Getting drunk and not showing up for wars is a valid life choiceConsidering the possible effects of your policies before implementing them is important please do thatProhibition causes communism and therefore we should all buy as much alcohol as we can because we love god and america
