This is the most beautiful thing.
Right? We need more teachers like this.
The fact is, most teachers would LOVE to do this. But they don’t have the time.
“Wait…fit people have rolls too??!”
Yes, yes they do
Reblogging this not only because it’s what we people need to hear but also because I’m in love with this room.
THIS LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE THANK YOU
Probs not the same person
Yes u r so right. I took a picture of myself on the top and then photoshopped my sports bra and top of my spandex and scar on my stomach onto someone else’s stomach and then my pillowcase and sheets and wall just to make this post to trick all these ppl!!!!!! wow u caught me in the act red handed what shall I ever do now!!!????!
That’s what I get for venturing out of my little safety circle I guess.
Jane Foster is the absolute best and I love and adore her.
#i left a comment on a feminist pop culture website#saying i’d rather have new of jane in thor 3 than hulk#and everyone told me i was wrong
What. That’s not very feminist of that website.
‘I’m so feminst I don’t want MORE appearances by recurring female characters, I want more white dudes!’
*farting noises*
I’m kind of surprised Jane isn’t madly popular, considering how many nerdy girls and women there are who are neurodivergent and/or love space and/or are attracted to big blond guys played by actors named Chris.
It’s because she violates a lot of ‘acceptable’ notions of an ‘awesome woman character’, I think.
She’s not shown in a male-gaze way, despite that she’s portrayed by Natalie Portman. Her clothing is modest and frankly on the frumpy side.
She’s not a badass action hero, which is one of the only acceptable women roles in an action film. In fact she’s distinctly not a physical badass at all. She never once performs a feat of physical amazement, nor uses a gun. Her only weapon is science.
Speaking of science: she’s passionate, to the point of being bullheaded, about said science work in a niche area of a field dominated by men to the tune of single-digit percentage representation for women. Again, this kind of swimming upstream is usually allowed only to men (eg. Tony). When a woman does it, she’s ‘bossy’ or ‘rude’ or has a ‘bad attitude’.
And finally, she’s got the attention of the super hot dude, but isn’t actively pursuing him, and he in turn isn’t pursuing her against her will (i.e. there’s none of this ‘I’ll convince you/change your mind!!!!’ nonsense going on). This is way outside the norm for a fantasy meant to appeal to straight guys. Instead, this super hot dude offers her encouragement in her work. His effect on her isn’t to ‘deign to notice her and thereby confirm her beauty to all who doubted it despite her nerdy nature’; it’s to reaffirm her convictions in her professional life.
These aren’t things society deems okay, frankly. Which kind of makes the Thor franchise in general and that first movie in particular a little unusual, but there you go.
I really love Jane Foster???? How can people not like her??????
People don’t like her because she’s an incredible woman of science and has this incredible intellect and yet her only purpose in the movies is as a love interest and a damsel in distress.
Character = Cool, Writing of Character = Terrible
Well, I guess ‘people’ saw a different movie to me, because in the movies I saw Jane is only rescued once from a situation Thor put her in to get a dangerous ancient evil out of her and it was LOKI who shielded her. All the other occasions Thor is the one either being rescued by Jane or she tries to protect him. Here’s a lit of things Jane does in both movies;
# Laughs as her panicing intern drives her into a sparkly vortex for SCIENCE
# isn’t paying attention to the staggering man yelling for his hammer
# spends the entire movies consulting her notebook and talkin about her SCIENCE
# is actually put off by his gruffness and nakedness until he talks SCIENCE to her
# yells at government spooks for stealing her stuff and then ignores her mentor and risks her personal safety for SCIENCE
# drives Thor to the compound after he promises her answers
# hangs back but still goes back for him even after everyone else thinks he’s either nuts or lying
# begs Erik to rescue him from the Shield compound, since she cannot do it herself (they’d recognise her)
# SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO BELIEVES THOR’S STORY BECAUSE SHE’S RESEARCHED THIS AND HE LOOKS AT HER WORK AND TELLS HER SHE’S RIGHT
# helps Thor evacuate a town before it’s destroyed by a giant robot with face lasers
# Tries to pull him to safety from a falling Mjolnir (before she knows what it is)
# Is rewarded by not only being proved RIGHT but also the undivided attentions of a SMOKIN HOT Space Viking
# spends the whole time looking like a scientist, like, a real life scientist out in he field- frumpy clothes, boots, plaid, cute t-shirts and a body warmer!
In Thor the Dark World;
# slaps two space gods for wronging her and her planet respectively
# talks back to an all powerful space god king for comparing her to a goat
# is fascinated by Asgrd and its technology
#works out Malaketh’s plan from the visions the Aether shows her,
#leads Thor out of another dimension after she works out that the walls are weak,
#tries to pull him to safety from a space ship falling on him then THROWS HERSELF ON HIS UNCONCIOUS BODY TO PROTECT HIM,
It’s a shame that people missed out on such an amazing character because they write off all these amazing things just because she is in love with a literal gentle giant handsome space god who proved to her and the rest of the world that she was right and that her hard work paid off. Even though half the audience writing her off probably fell in love with Loki after only knowing him for like three hours, But hey ho.
That’s none of my business.
once i was riding a rollercoaster at universal studios and it required you to pick a song to listen to on the ride. the only song i knew was bring me to life. there was a really gradual ascent to its highest point and the really quiet part of the song was playing. all i remember besides being scared shitless is that right before its drop that was literally just straight down, i heard “(WAKE ME UP) WAKE ME UP INSIDE” and then it dropped and i just screamed
I know the ride of which you speak so well. I didn’t choose a song in time, so it randomly picked for me. Just before that fall, it went into the main chorus of “Glamorous” by Fergie. The terror was surreal.
Which roller coaster is this? I’ve been to Universal Studios before, but I don’t remember one like this?
my cousin was there and apparently she rode it like 10 times listening to acdc laughing like crazy until she scared her younger brother
I hate when you’re watching a procedural crime drama and they cast a well known actor as the surprise killer so the detective is like,
Hmmm I wonder if it was the baker, the doctor, or Bryan Cranston the Janitor.
