2018 Grinch has no edge. He’s got no bite. He’s not even that much of an asshole. He’s just a sassy gay furry with unusually nice teeth despite his famous theme song declaring otherwise.

1966 Grinch? Now that was a mean, scary bastard. He was a crusty old fuck who hated society so much that he only came off his shitty frozen mountain to commit crimes and terrorism out of spite.

Bennyhoo Cumberland Grinch comes down from his mountain to buy groceries.

You can round the edges off a character to make them more “relatable” or whatever, but you also run the risk of losing what defined them in the first place. The end result is bland and generic.

2018 Grinch is a reflection of modern society’s rejection of real character flaws in the interest of being “unproblematic” and in this essay i will

congrats OP this is literally the only grinch post i’ll ever reblog

99-Year-Old Lady Sews A Dress A Day For Children In Need 

Lillian Weber, a 99-year-old good Samaritan from Iowa, has spent the last few years sewing a dress a day for the Little Dresses For Africa charity, a Christian organization that distributes dresses to children in need in Africa and elsewhere.

Weber’s goal is to make 1,000 dresses by the time she turns 100 on May 6th. So far, she’s made more than 840. Though she says she could make two a day, she only makes one – but each single dress she makes per day is personalized with careful stitchwork. She hopes that each little girl who receives her dress can take pride in her new garment.

this lady must live forever

She made it!

She recently passed in May and was still sewing dresses that day (her final count was 1234 dresses).

Hey, not-so-friendly reminder that acting like your whole world is crumbling because a story didn’t end how you wanted is incredibly immature.

And resenting the creators of a thing because your personal fantasies about the thing didn’t come true is pathetic.

Yes, the story meant a lot to you, I get it. But at the end of the day, that is because YOU decided to become so personally attached and possessive over SOMEBODY ELSE’S work. They didn’t make it to adhere to your fantasies. They made it to tell the story THEY wanted to tell.

You just decided it was yours, instead. But you don’t get to make that decision.

How dare you act offended and personally hurt just because you couldn’t control something that was never yours to begin with? How low can you get?

Sharing because I agree and think it’s ridiculous to attach so much to an indie game. You’re not gonna believe what life’s got in store if this is the case!

If the ending wasn’t good just make up one and call it a day. Bendy and Slenderman aren’t real, so you can rewrite them however.

I know Tumblr is a safer space for being wrapped up in fantasies, but the real world is still watching.

Very well put. Reblogging this and leaving it up.

RIP Stan Lee (December 28, 1922 – November 12, 2018)

“Let’s lay it right on the line. Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today. But, unlike a team of costumed supervillains, they can’t be halted with a punch in the snoot, or a zap from a ray gun. The only way to destroy them is to expose them – to reveal them for the insidious evils they really are.

The bigot is an unreasoning hater – one who hates blindly, fanatically, indiscriminately. If his hang-up is black men, he hates ALL black men. If a redhead once offended him, he hates ALL redheads. If some foreigner beat him to a job, he’s down on ALL foreigners. He hates people he’s never seen – people he’s never known – with equal intensity – with equal venom.

Now, we’re not trying to say it’s unreasonable for one human being to bug another. But, although anyone has the right to dislike another individual, it’s totally irrational, patently insane to condemn an entire race – to despise an entire nation – to vilify an entire religion. Sooner or later, we must learn to judge each other on our own merits. Sooner or later, if man is ever to be worthy of his destiny, we must fill our hearts with tolerance. For then, and only then, will we be truly worthy of the concept that man was created in the image of God – a God who calls us ALL – his children.”

– “Stan’s Soapbox”, Bullpen Bulletins, December 1970

Anti trans hysteria hurts cis women too, especially gay/gnc cis women

Protip: most people who are “bathroom vigilantes” are conservative straight folks who probably can’t tell a butch lesbian from a trans woman (or a trans man, for that matter). I do want radfems, especially the butch/GNC ones, to ask themselves if they’d be comfortable being forced into the men’s room by a straight soccer mom if they got to force trans women out of the women’s restroom.

The comments on the article are basically a bunch of people going “well she dressed like a man so it was her fault” like I thought we moved on from the ‘girls can’t wear pants’ mentality??

wow look it’s exactly what we knew was going to happen

I’d just like to remind all TERFs who might be reading that this is the world that you built. This is the world that you fought for for all of those decades; one where overbearing misogynistic fascists police lesbians’ wardrobe choices. So let’s have a slow-clap for Janice Raymond et al. Well done, ladies! Your lives have clearly been well-spent.

last point of today: nobody can rock a bright yellow dress better than a DARK SKINNED woman 

like i mean…

truly my aesthetic, idk about y’all

Yet we’re always told to never wear bright vibrant colors. 🙄

That contrast is phenomenal.

10/10 would also recommend bright ass blue.

Can somebody reblog this with a photoset of dark skinned women in bright ass blue dresses pls?

Yeah I can

I love how much this blew up because it’s so positive and honestly we need more posts like this encouraging our dark skinned sisters

Dude whoever is telling y’all not to wear bright colors must be freaking color blind! Bright colors look amazing on darker skin tones! If you want to you should rock those bright colors because y’all are beautiful

Dress yourselves in gold. Feel your worth, ladies.

The next person who tries to correct me when I say “Happy Holidays” is going to be told Happy Hanukkah instead. Very tired of hearing, “No, it’s MERRY CHRISTMAS.” I’m pretty sure Judaism was around a lot longer than your Buckstar’s boycotting butt, Karen.

My boss once shared a great story about that. This happened when he was in a layover in North Carolina back when the “War on Christmas” bullshit was first becoming prominent. He had gone to get a pack of cigarettes, and after he paid for it:

“Merry Christmas.”
“Happy holidays.”
No. I said Merry Christmas.”
“Do you know what Hanukkah is about?”
“No, what?”
“Some people tried to make us worship their ways, so we rose up and killed them. Happy Hanukkah.
