1. Those of you looking for a loved one! Remain calm. I know it is terrifying, but please do your best to remain calm. 
First, try to check on them by more personal means. Check out their facebook, shoot them a text, but DO NOT call them if you have their number, they need to keep it open for emergencies right now, check their blog if you are worried about a tumblr friend, check their twitter, check any social media site you know they are on. This should be done first, as the numbers to call are very busy and the Safe and Well website is incredibly sluggish, both due to high volume. 

2. If you yourself are in Boston, please register yourself on the Safe and Well website as OKAY. Even if you think you aren’t far from the area, or had no plans of attending the marathon, register yourself. You never know if someone is looking for you!

3. To anyone struggling, worrying, ANYTHING AT ALL, if you need someone to speak to, my ask is open. We need to stick together through these disasters, and if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know! I encourage anyone willing to do the same to say so as well!

IMPORTANT NUMBERS/SITES

Red Cross - Safe and Well

Google Person Finder

Call to search for loved ones: 617-635-4520 (also have seen 617-635-4500 as an alternate)

Call for tips to the police if you know/saw anything: 1-800-494-TIPS

 

Everyone remain calm, and help one another!

I’m reblogging this for anyone who may need it, especially my friends in and around the Boston area. I can’t believe something like this has happened so close to home. I love you all and hope you are all safe!

the world is heavy
but your bones
(just a cubic inch)
can hold 19,000 lbs

ounce for ounce
they are stronger than steel

atom for atom
you are more precious than diamond

and stars have died
so that you may live

you need to remember these things
when you say that you are weak
and worthless

Hello I’m Rosie and this is my 200 follower givaway!!  I have no clue why I have 200 followers, but you are all pretty awesome, even the ones who don’t ever even reblog anything from me.  Bless you all. (◡‿◡✿)

Anywho, as it says in my banner thingy, this isn’t a giveaway so much as it is me buying you stuff, because I ain’t got shit otherwise.  Basically, I’m throwing $150 at you to spend however the fuck you want, wherever the fuck you want.  I really don’t care what you buy.  Clothes, cosplay shit, action figures, commissions, pizza, dildos, I REALLY DON’T CARE.  Also, I will personally handle shipping, so if you wanna buy something for $8 and shipping is $60, you will still have $142 to spend, although I swear to god if you do something like that I will punch you right back into the middle ages.  ALTERNATIVELY, if you for some reason want to use that $150 for really personal things, like idk, bills or savings?? I will just send you it via paypal or somethin I dunno.  And if you don’t have paypal then so help me god we will use fucking snail-mail or some shit.

Also international stuff doesn’t really matter because I will be just putting your address in the “send to” thing, so, yeah.  But if for some reason it does come up, I got it covered, unless it’s really confusing, in which case I may hit you up for some explanations or something.

OKAY SO NOW THAT THAT’S OUTTA THE WAY here are some rules:

• One like and one reblog!!  Because it doesn’t matter how many times you reblog anyways so why would you reblog it like a million times.  That’s just inconsiderate, you giant ass.
• No side blogs!!  I will fuck you up.
• You don’t have to be following me to win.  But if you were following me before this giveaway, you get an extra $50 to spend, because you were an original special baby. (◡‿◡✿)
• This giveaway will end 3 PM CST on April 30th, for no particular reason other than it seems to be the norm to give a lot of time.  Otherwise I would end it on my birthday (3/31).
• This pretty much goes without saying, but you have to have either your ask or submission box open and you have to be okay with giving me your address.  Literally this will not work if you don’t have both of those things.  Literally.
• The winner has 48 hours to get back to me before I choose another winner.  (If this happens to you, talk to me and give me a really goddamn good excuse and I may slip you some money under the table, WHO THE HELL KNOWS.)
• There will be only one winner, because I am not actually made out of money. I just like to pretend that I am.

SO THERE YOU GO.  If there are any questions or concerns or what have you, just direct them to my ask and we will discuss stuff!!

VFX/Animation Industry to protest the Oscars

Life of Pi (Fox) and Snow White and the Huntsman (Universal) together grossed almost a billion dollars worldwide. Rhythm & Hues Studios, the company that brought Richard Parker to life and created the bulk of the visual effects for these two Oscar nominated films, has just declared bankruptcy. Many of the artists who worked nights and weekends to create those effects are out of work and unpaid for weeks of work (including nights and weekends) on new tent-pole films for the same studios, Fox and Universal. It’s time for change!

(via Cartoon Brew)

    The disrespectful behavior exhibited by Samuel L. Jackson during the award’s introduction and the trivializing “Jaws” cut off just as Westenhofer addressed Rhythm and Hues’ bankruptcy deserve more coverage than Jennifer Lawrence hitting the stairs just before her speech.  These people are artists, not drones, creating visual masterpieces with hours of patience and perseverance.  If you are an artist, of any measure, this should concern you.  The company responsible for making you have feelings for a ship-wrecked predator, Rhythm and Hues, has declared chapter 11 bankruptcy.  These studios are underpaid and under-appreciated.  Spread the news, call out the Academy on its tactless dismissal of the hundreds of visual artists struggling to stay afloat.

I need help. Please reblog this if you support two girls in a romantic relationship. I will write your URL down in my scrapbook of my girlfriend and I and give it to her and show our parents how many people really do support us. If you do reblog or like, I will send you a personal thanks and let you know.

Probably nsfw: Welp. I just nearly got into a very heated conversation at work about gender identity.

dreamamongthesharks:

Things started when my co-worker, who is a 30 year old professional arm wrestler, brought up a story about another male arm wrestler who made the transition and became a woman. Or as he said it, “he cut off his ding-dong and called himself Robin.”

……………yeah, no words…

Things started when my co-worker, who is a 30 year old professional arm wrestler, brought up a story about another male arm wrestler who made the transition and became a woman. Or as he said it, “he cut off his ding-dong and called himself Robin.”

……………yeah, no words for that.

Anyway, after the transition, Robin started competing in the women’s leagues, and my co-worker didn’t think that was fair due to Robin’s male physique. This digressed into wondering if this sort of issue has ever come up in Olympic sports. Then my co-worker went and said “If a male athlete is gay and he’s not physically strong enough to successfully compete against other men, would he compete against women?” To which I said “A man’s sexuality doesn’t affect how strong he is. Gender and sexuality are two totally different things.” My other co-worker (a 56 year old woman) said “Well, that’s a difference of opinion.” I must’ve looked really pissed off because then she changed the subject.

But really people? Did you really just go there? I could’ve slapped them both for their ignorance.
