i am so tired of seeing this screenshot about wish's ending reposted everywhere and used to make fun of the movie:
and this is coming from someone who didn't even like the movie very much, but this is misrepresenting what happened. yes, there is a thing where asha wears a cloak resembling that of the fairy godmother and at the end star makes her a magic wand and the kids say she's like a fairy godmother, king magnifico does get trapped in a mirror, etc, and the movie was absolutely filled with easter eggs and references to previous movies--yep, when i saw the movie i did in fact take these scenes as just easter eggs! after all, think about this logically, if all currently existing movies in the disney animated canon were meant to take place in the same universe, and asha canonically grows up to be cinderella's fairy godmother, then...
how can you explain such a drastic difference in appearance? how can you justify asha, a brown-skinned afro-hispanic girl with a face full of freckles and long brown hair, and this old white woman being the same person? you can't, because they're not!!!! if i recall correctly asha doesn't even wear that cloak at the end when they're calling her a fairy godmother, she just wears it during one scene when she's a fugitive and has to sneak around. also...
the creators of the movie have directly confirmed that they were not trying to set up a disney multiverse and that it's not meant to be taken that seriously. rapunzel and eugene's cameo in frozen also wasn't meant to be taken anywhere near as seriously as everyone took it. neither were any previous cameos like belle in hunchback of notre dame or aurora in oliver and company (and if aurora being in oliver and company was canon, she'd be over 600 years old!). and, back to wish specifically, the little easter egg earlier in the movie where magnifico sees a wish bubble from someone who wants the perfect nanny to take care of their kids and says he's "poppin' that one" also doesn't mean the banks family from mary poppins canonically lives in rosas. the scene at the end where a boy named peter who wears all green and dreams of creating a flying machine goes to work with a girl in a blue nightgown whose wish is to fly doesn't mean peter pan and wendy actually somehow lived together in rosas and knew each other before the movie peter pan ever happened. it is literally impossible for all of these movies to take place in the same time period and universe, so it's a good thing that they, uh, don't, and were never intended to. please, if you don't like the movie, that's perfectly fine, but don't say disney is trying to create some convoluted multiverse and "MCU-ify" their movies when that just literally isn't true.

say what you will about don callis, but it’s pretty fucking cool he’s commissioning a wrestling fanartist directly and giving them continuous work by constantly introducing new art pieces in this current storyline he’s got going on

For those who are unsure of whether or not they really have the "sensitivity to cold" symptom of fibromyalgia, because you think that it's just you not being able to handle colder temperatures like other people, that's one way of putting it. The other way is, when it's winter and the temperatures start dropping, do you feel your pain more intensely? Do you feel like you have more problems with your joints? Is your partner always commenting how cold your fingers and toes are, but it somehow gets more frequent in winter? Those are other ways to consider being sensitive to the cold.

its incredibly depressing to see every post about people enjoying palworld is like "is it blatantly ripping off Pokemon? Yes! And I'm loving it!" and weird stuff about how totally taking designs from a larger company is somehow anti capitalist (??)
like is there no artistic integrity anymore. watched vinny play it and it was genuinely just shitty ark. go play that

I discovered this morning that my work place's donation matching program includes the PCRF, Pious Projects, and MedGlobal, so i submitted my own receipts from previous donations to request matches, and then posted about it in work communication channels because i found 0 mention of PCRF or Pious Projects by acronym or full name (infuriating but not surprising) in my workplace comms.
Pleased to report that so far none of my zionist coworkers have tried to have my posts taken down (which has happened to previous pro-palestinian posts from other colleagues), about 30 colleagues have reacted to it positively, AND one of my colleagues who sits on the board for our internal racial diversity ERG reached out to me privately to thank me for posting about Palestine. They also let me know they submitted their own receipts to request donation matches for Pious Projects because of my posts (they had already done so for MedGlobal and PCRF, but had been unaware of the PP campaign for menstrual kits for Gaza).
If you work for a company that matches charity donations from employees, please check to see if they include the PCRF, MedGlobal, Pious Projects, and any others that would be applicable. And if they don't currently, please consider requesting one or more to be added. Even if the workplace/company/CEO/whatever has no intention of ever making a public or internal statement in support of Palestinians, they will often still match donations with recognized charities like the PCRF and MedGlobal, and every bit of financial support we can get for Palestinians matters.
I guess I'm sharing to say, don't let your coworkers or workplace's stance silence you, or discourage you from even trying to do anything in support of Palestine at work. I know we all have different circumstances re: job stability and risk of termination - but please still try. If you are frustrated and angry and you want to do something, it's likely that you have at least one if not many coworkers who are feeling exactly the same way. Plus, any form of discussion about Palestine - even if it has to be delicate in the workplace - is better than silence, and it can be an opening for coworkers who claim they're too ignorant to start actually learning.
