Well howdy there… I figured that even though I have a bit about me in my bio, I might as well make an about me post :)
Name: Tilly
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Sexuality: bi
Age: 20
I follow/like/ask etc. from @tigerlilyhasablog but its a bit of a ghost town, this is the fun blog :)
I’m American, and that’s where I live, but my mother is from England and I actually went to school there for a while
DNI: nazis, racists, homophobes, transphobes, terfs, pedos, “maps”, trump supporters, science-deniers, anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, or anyone who apologizes/sympathizes with anyone of those people. If you are an anti-trump republican, I have a bit more time for you, but I’ll tell you right now that I am hella leftist and disagree with you about basically everything, so I don’t really know why you are here🤷♀️
I am a political science major in college (about to be a junior next semester)
This blog is a big messy combo of political/social stuff, fandom, crack posts and whatever the hell else floats my boat
I flit in and out of fandoms, depending on what I’ve watched recently. My og fandom and why I made this blog is Marvel. Other stuff I’ve gotten into since then include Sherlock, The Umbrella Academy, The Witcher, Dark, Dear Evan Hansen, Hamilton, some DC stuff (mainly Wonder Woman + Birds of Prey), Lord of the Rings (this is definitely not an exhaustive list)
My main ships include: Steve x Bucky, Peter Parker x MJ, Sherlock x John, Carol Danvers x Maria Rambeau, Peggy Carter x Daniel Sousa, Geralt x Jaskier (again not exhaustive)
Would like to add that I will NEVER shame you for your pairings if they are different from mine, UNLESS you ship incest (yeah that includes adopted siblings) or any kind of pedo, adult/minor pairing
Also, I will NEVER mind if you ask me to tag anything!! Please just ask!!
Feel free to message or send me an ask, but fyi I’m kinda awkward when talking online… Never feel like you are bothering me, I’m just bad a text talking!🙈
Likewise, if you tag me in something and I never respond/reblog, its not that I’m ignoring you, I probably just forgot🙃Also, if I tag you in something, you are never obligated to keep it going!
Ok, I think that’s it! Lemme know if there is anything else you think I should include!
Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
MOON LANDING DAY IS THURSDAY!
Happy moon landing day, here’s the shirt I got gifted by my roommate :)
CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it’s part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators
What it means when an indie film gets a SAG-AFTRA waiver:
ALT
[id: tweet from Alex O'Keefe @/AlexOKeefe1994 that says “People keep saying SAG-AFTRA is handing out "waivers” for indie productions to keep filming. These are NOT WAIVERS they are INTERIM AGREEMENTS. That means the employers have agreed to all the demands actors are making of AMPTP. If indies can afford it, why cant billionaires?“ end id.]
DNI if you’re a bad person. This will certainly filter out bad actors, who both self-identify as such and respect the boundaries of people they are bad actors against. This will certainly not alienate people who have internalized shame or feel like outsiders in community spaces.
Imagine being the only person alive who can say this
buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”
Every time I think a stranger writers tweet is fake I’m proven wrong—and they’re so real for this one in response to promo about stranger things day LMAO (x)
I don’t think you can fully understand transmisogyny without understanding how it’s weaponized against cis Black women.
When you find a transmisogynist you’ve found a racist who will use their ideals of the “normative female body” to demean and denigrate Black women. For years it was a popular right wing rumor/conspiracy/dick move to refer to Michelle Obama as a “tranny” and more recently sports organizations have repeatedly excluded cis Black women for not having “normative” hormone levels. Transmisogyny and antiblackness go hand in hand.
