I hate that the Charleston shooting is becoming about the confederate flag and not about a white man killing 9 people

Like removing the flag is well and good an all. Destroy racist symbols and what not

But id rather we talk about how he was able to kill 9 unarmed black people walk away in a blulletproof vest and taken to burger King afterwards

You’ll notice when they couldn’t demonize the people he murdered, when even their murderer said they were the kindest, nicest, most open people, suddenly they had to find other stuff to talk about.

When they couldn’t blame it on mental illness because the Charleston terrorist straight up said ‘nope, I just hate black people’, suddenly they had to find other stories.

When it is a clear, explicit case of a fucked-up, evil racist of a white person murdering genuinely unimpeachable black folks, then and only then do we discover the story isn’t even about the massacre, it’s about the flag he sometimes wore/carried in photos.

Whiteness is protecting itself by any means necessary.

technology related sensory memories from my childhood

• sliding the metal cover on floppy disks
  
• the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes
• ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper 
• rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo

The heaviness and rubber texture of the roller ball in a computer mouse, and the little ring of lint

Unkinking the curly cord of a telephone while you talked

The -peww sound and slowly fading image of a crt monitor turning off, and then running your finger through the static on the dusty glass

The crunch of opening or closing a plastic Disney vhs cover

The sound effects in kidpix

Extending and collapsing metal antennas and using them as magic wands

Waving an overhead projector sheet so it made that artificial almost-spaceship noise

The clikclikclik of rewinding a tape casette with a pencil

Scratch and sniff stickers

The heavy feeling of a commodore 64 keyboard

Rotary phones that still worked

Thumbing through yellowpages and getting your fingers all smudged with the cheap ink

The original yoohoo taste

The purr of a VHS tape rewinding

The ungodly screams of a modem as it tried to find the internet

The warmth of the overhead projector glass as you turn-turn-turn the sheet try and get the image the right way up

The hiss and click of an automatic slide projector changing slides

The smoothness of a camera film as you fitted it into your camera

Imagine Steve’s reaction to today’s US news.

Conservatives being like, “I WONDER WHAT CAPTAIN AMERICA HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS.”

Steve shows up on camera in full uniform with glitter everywhere and a rainbow flag as a cape.

“Now that it will finally be legally recognized in every state, I can marry the guy of my dreams. It’s only taken a fuckin’ century.”

Off-camera, you hear Bucky griping, “Christ, you’re such a sap, Rogers.”

But what you don’t see is how grossly in love he looks. (Tony takes a picture so that the internet can, in fact, see it.)

Doing The Pledge of Allegiance every school day for 4 or 5 years is one of those things that don’t seem strange when you’re young

But then you get older and you realized “yeah, swearing your allegiance to a flag for about 200+ days out of 365 day year in unity with other small children is without a doubt a creepy as fuck activity”

wait is that actually a thing american schoolchildren do what the fuck

wellbehavedmiraclesdont-hayasham:

texas v johnson: burning the flag is legal

tinker v des moines: sitting for the pledge and wearing armbands in PUBLIC schools is legal

i think it’s a universal truth that everyone in our generation takes pluto’s losing its planetary status as a personal offense

yes

pluto is smaller than russia. why did we ever even consider it a planet?

((Yeah? Well, if you took Earth and stuck it on Jupiter, we’d look like the nipple on a boob, so does that mean Earth shouldn’t be a planet? Point: it’s not about size.))

Lin-Manuel Miranda said in an interview that he wrote the song “You’re Welcome” for Maui once he knew the character would be voiced by Dwayne the rock Johnson because he thought that Dwayne the rock Johnson would be the one person on earth who could sing something so egotistical and have us completely convinced we should be thanking him and honestly he’s not wrong.

This just further proves my theory that he added in the “Maui can do everything but float” line knowing that people will be making the pun about “the reason floating is the only thing Maui can’t do is because he’s The Rock”.

he fucking would
