My favorite part is that you can tell they fell and you can basically hears the shrieks and giggles and MBJ comes running back over to them cuz there’s no way they can get back up on their own in those gowns
1985: National Geo make millions from ‘Afghan Girl’ portrait
2016: Still has the status of a refugee and may spend 14 years in jail because of her papers
I fucking hate this picture and everything it represents. Steve McCurry made millions off of this picture and its what launched his photojournalism career into the spotlight. While the woman in this picture got absolutely NOTHING and lived an awful and horrific existence. And calling her “Afghan Girl” is so disrespectful. Her name is Sharbat Gula and her life could have been made 1000X easier had McCurry shared his wealth with her - or even if he couldn’t find her, to share it with the of refugees who he exploited. And honestly the idea of a white man going into wartorn nations (that are that way bc of american imperialism) to take pictures of refugees to profit off of their pain and trauma is gross
I’m color-blind, but I can pick out that [Yves Klein] blue anywhere. I wrote 30,000 words on this color, and I never grew tired of it. The pigment is staggering. It’s amazing that a color can be so emotional. One can only hope to achieve that intensity in acting.
all hail eddie redmayne, patron saint of academic bullshittery
You have been visited by the Eddie Redmayne of bullshit, reblog to have plenty of bullshit to spew on your final exams
This is the level of academic fuckery I strive to achieve

A Turkish court has sentenced journalist Pelin Ünker to 13 months’ imprisonment for her participation in reporting the Panama Papers, a massive leak of documents from the tax-evasion enablers Mossack-Fonseca.
Ünker published the true (and undisputed) facts about former Binali
Yıldırım and his sons, whose ownership of Maltese companies was revealed
in the leaks. Despite the truth of the matter, Ünker was convicted of
“defamation and insult.”
Ünker is a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
Question here: Has Meghan McCain ever had to worry about a medical bill a day in her life?
The View hasn’t been good for a long time and this is why. Besides them being older and not understanding anything outside their sphere of baby boomer life, it seems. They’re all rich and don’t care about anyone or any of the things regular people have to worry about. I’m actually disappointed in Whoopi (though not much, because she’s come off very anti-black on some issues, as if she’s not black 🙄) for saying these things. The people who “know” the job have been doing very shit jobs for a long time and will continue to, with idiots like these defending them. AOC is breathing new air into it and has good ideas for regular people; we need more of that, not people stuck in their old ways, acting as if real change isn’t possible because they don’t want to pay extra taxes or give up $10,000 of their 6-figure salaries for doing fuck all for anyone. It’s very showing when celebs (especially PoC, who know how hard it is… or did know, anyway) don’t support things for regular people; they are not in that realm, anymore. And the McCain woman… she’s just an all around piece of garbage, tbh. She’s never wanted for anything, yet tries to tell regular people how to do things and what they should have and be grateful for. No, honey, you need to be grateful you’ve never had to live like 80 percent of people out there, who have to make decisions between buying food for their family or getting bad credit (which will fuck them over) by not paying their medical bills. You can’t even get sick in this country without worrying you might end up on the street (either because you’ll lose your job for being sick too long or won’t be able to pay the ridiculous medical bills) and that’s not right. Never will be. Recognize your privilege and try to help people other than yourselves; it’s nothing but evil and greed.
I know the jpop fanbase is small on here but the silence on the assault on a Japanese idol by 2 men is so worrying. Hating idol culture doesn’t mean you should ignore serious issues like this. If we don’t get this more attention Japanese media will literally ignore it because the group’s management is already making this girl apologize for HERSELF being assaulted in front of the men who assaulted HER. It’s disgusting and it shouldn’t go unnoticed.
“President Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials, current and former U.S. officials said. U.S. officials said there is no detailed record, even in classified files, of Trump’s face-to-face interactions with the Russian leader at five locations over the past two years. Such a gap would be unusual in any presidency, let alone one that Russia sought to install through what U.S. intelligence agencies have described as an unprecedented campaign of election interference.”
