On a practical level, the grove is even more obviously magical, because any hikers who know their gardening really well (as well as any botanist/gardening/farming friends they describe it to) would probably know that certain plants don’t play well in this particular soil or these conditions or what have you (I’m quite certain that a prickly pear r!Henry was once discussed, for instance) but there it is, blooming away.
Them: Steven Universe is bad and it shouldn’t be recognized as a groundbreaking cartoon.
Me: Regardless of your personal feelings on the quality of the show, it has pushed the boundaries of representation on Cartoon Network and kid targeted cartoons in general. Not only does it have explicit LGBT+ couples that aren’t just shoved in at the end for the rep points, but they are diverse in shape, colour, and personality. There are characters that utilize they/them pronouns and are always addressed correctly, no matter how offensive or kind the character is. The show tackles strong messages of trauma, abuse, and discrimination with respect, while on a strict budget and lack of time. It challenges the idea of writing by storyboard rather than by script, and demonstrates why off-model animation can and cannot work. The story is so open that adults and younger alike can still get enjoyment from it. It is by no means exempt from criticism and does have flaws, but there is a noticeable trend of it being crucified for the same criticism that is ignored in other stories.
This means that when S gave Pearl her number and Amethyst explained it, Pearl would’ve suddenly realised how many chicks had hit on her before and decided to go out and get a cell phone
Pearl is the ultimate useless lesbian. For the centuries she’s been alive, she’s probably had a lot of human girls hit on her and she never noticed
…This showed up on my dash, and taken out of context it looks like Dipper and Mabel are a couple of creepy ghost kids that stalk an old man who moved into the house where they were murdered.
holy shit i just learned about the “proxy strike” tactic in france in which radicals blockade or occupy a workplace, allowing workers to strike without losing their wages. that’s brilliant, wow
How does that work, exactly?
if you and your coworkers say “we’re striking” and occupy your workplace, your boss won’t pay you, but if your friends and your coworkers’ friends occupy it for you, you say “sorry boss shit’s occupied” and you still get paid because you’re not the ones striking
the 5,528 people who have reblogged this post as of right now could probably paralyze a decent chunk of a city’s economy using this tactic lmao
