Starting in 2019, If Your Film Isn’t Diverse, It Won’t Be Eligible for a BAFTA Award

“In an incredibly bold move, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts announced last week that, beginning in 2019,works that do not demonstrate inclusivity in their production practices will no longer be eligible for its annual awards, the BAFTAs, often considered the U.K. equivalent of the Oscars. Eligible projects must showcase this in two of the following ways, as the BBC reported: On-screen characters and themes, senior roles and crew, industry training and career progression, and audience access and appeal to underrepresented audiences.” 

The angry whites in the comments really tell me that this was a necessary and good decision to combat the overpowering whiteness of film. Representation, on and off screen, matters.

“So kids, like what your seeing?”

“Samantha, I noticed that your “fun-o-meter’ is stuck in the middle. Why is that?

“Well the robots are cool, but why aren’t there any girls?”

“Why couldn’t the long lost brother be a long lost sister?“

image

“And how are all their disparate technologies able to connect to each other?”

“Doesn’t like boys!”

“Doesn’t understand robots!”

“That’s”

“That’s not what I said!”

Damn.

Cartoon Network is getting too damn real

That’s pretty goddamn ironic from a network which cancelled a superhero show because it was watched by too many girls, due to belief that it’s impossible to market superhero merch to girls

I’m fairly sure that’s the joke.

(Also the network doesn’t make the show – people may not realize that Cartoon Network isn’t a giant conglomerate cartoon factory and actually consists of tens of thousands of individual creators, many of whom spend a significant portion of their day wondering what can we sneak past Cartoon Network?)

At least that’s what I’m like when I write for them. Zing!!

gifted student™ brains are about as functional as horses when you get right down to it 

which sounds like a shit post but consider: horses? hypothetically MADE for running. look at this magnificent muscle beasts. look at those legs. they must be so good at running, right? wrong. horses are fragile as fuck. horses break their gotdamn legs so so easily, and if they break their legs you just have to fucking shoot them. if they run, the thing they are MADE FOR, too fast their lungs will start bleeding. I just googled horses to see if I was missing anything and apparently if they lie down for a day their organs start collapsing or something so they can’t rest from their One Horse Purpose even when they’re hurt. they’re made to do one thing but they can only do it under Very Specific Conditions and if a single thing changes they just die.

 which, you know. gifted students™ get applauded for being naturally smart when we’re five or whatever and then develop a terrible inflated sense of self that makes us highly averse to anything we’re not naturally good at, because it challenges our fragile childbrain egos and if we wait too long we’ll develop mental fences around entire subjects and skillsets (mine are math and studying) because we think we’re Bad at them, when in reality we just need to practice but are frustrated by that because it’s harder than being ~naturally talented~ was. we get applauded for doing One Thing but the second we run into slightly different things that our brains don’t comprehend as readily? it’s a Bad Time. I still have so much anxiety over things I don’t feel Naturally Talented at that I’ve been sitting here writing this post for like 10 minutes rather than read the feedback on my religion paper. I got a 100% on it, but I’m still That Scared of anything other than straight heaps of praise because that’s what my childbrain was acclimated to. just send me to the glue factory already. 

I…..I needed to hear this

that’s intriguing because this is not a particularly happy or uplifting post but I hope that whatever you got out of it was positive and that it could be a good thing for you

Sometimes it’s incredibly freeing to hear that other people are familiar with a feeling. No falsely spun cheery “positivity” needed.

What the fuck are horses

Her editing is unparalled by any other MUA on YouTube.

Her IG is @ wvrthy and her youtube channel info is on there. She makes and sells her own highlighters. 

She deserves more subscribers

here’s her shop! she makes highlighters and other makeup meant to show up on all tones of skin, and her highlighters are incredible. just look!

support her! she’s got awesome other colors, too, besides the gold and the ones in that swatch. my personal favorite has gotta be the pinkish one she named “aphrodite”!

just look at these!!

if you can afford to, give her some business! businesses like her are much better to support then people like jeffree starr who is a notoriously racist devil.

her makeup is also just generally 100% better and also better for you, as big makeup companies tend to put icky shit in makeup.

tl;dr support businesses like wvrthy! wvrthy, keep being awesome!

are you fucking serious this entire post is god tier
