This little girl’s mother is from Helsinki, Finland.
While her daughter is soundly asleep, she creates a completely different world … from whatever she can find around her! That’s how both of them became really famous. What a truly fabulous imagination.
That. Glowworm. OMG. This is too adorable!
Be good-natured and untidy in your exuberance.

Inequity is hard to see if you’re privileged
removed from the truth of the world in modern day castles
they rely on the work and consumption of the common folk
that’s real funny- because without us they’d be broke
now common is not bad but it’s good to be empowered
common means there’s more of us and there is strength in numbers
it is too easy to be oppressed by financial (read political power)
It’s true that a lot of children, women, and men are oppressed
if you weren’t so blinded you’d see
you are overdressed
now you’ve heard the saying use your bootstraps
but here’s the thing
all along they’ve been tugging on you and me
we are their resources
let’s not let them forget it
The money came from us
we generated it
managing does not mean owning
(it’s harboring)
and I know that even I am privileged to an extent
but I am at least aware of it
and choose not to let it change my understanding of reality
that’s a luxury only ignorance allows
and I’d rather be aware than hiding in my own privileged shroud
or ever take advantage of another person’s circumstance
for we are people
our net worth is not predetermined by our bank accounts, our payrolls, our purchases
why is this so hard to say
it’s the truth anyway
we are people
not our circumstances
don’t treat us as if our net worth is analogous to our human worth.
Thank you
on the topic of thanking
there are people who profit and choose to give back to the society(ies) which allowed them to profit in the first place
To all of you, a sincere thanks
you know that wealth is not made in a vacuum
people helped you to get where you are today, though you helped yourself as well (there is no denying true hard work)
there is a disproportionate amount of people who hold onto their wealth
using it to hurt other people or corrupt political discourse
thank you for not adding to this corruption
and thank you for saying thank you, in your gestures, to us, the world, and the earth
by acknowledging us who have helped you along your way
many of us are given true hope
We hope soon there will be more like you
compassionate, hard working, and ethical
until then- i will see you in paradise.
Sincerely
C

I had a very tame and mild love scene with Jon Hamm. It was like heavy breathing and making out. It was hardly a sex scene… I think that it’s great for this young girl to actually take control of her own sexuality. Well, the MPAA doesn’t like that. They don’t think a girl should ever be in control of her own sexuality because they’re from the Stone Age.
I don’t know what the fuck is going on and I will openly criticize it, happily. So essentially, they got Zack to edit the scene and make it look less like she’s into it. And Zack said he edited it down to the point where it looked like he was taking advantage of her. That’s the only way he could get a PG-13 (rating) and he said, ‘I don’t want to send that message.’ So they cut the scene!
I’m torn. I want an ‘R’ (rating) because we can get a lot of cool scenes into it, but then I like the idea of younger girls being able to see it.

seriously, this is the world. women enjoying their sexuality is not okay, women being forced into it is what gets you a lower acceptable rating. see also: blue valentine.

this is ex-fucking-actly what i mean about rape culture. like, let’s put aside for a second that female sexuality is totally downplayed in wide-release (and indie, for that matter) films..and focus on that wording “edited it down to the point where he looked like he was taking advantage of her.” How is it that a scene in which a man “taking advantage” (code for RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT) of a woman will get you a more “child-friendly” rating than a consensual scene? Fuck no, rape culture.

Ugh. The MPAA has to get the fuck out.
