When I was a kid, my dad hated when I hung up anything on my walls. My art, band posters, movie posters, anything. Not with taxks, not with tape (it “ripped the paint off”) not with anything. At one point in 5th or 6th grade he came in my room and found me hanging up a Diary of a Wimpy Kid poster with tacos and he was like “EVERY HOLE YOU PUT IN THE WALL TAKES $10 OFF THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE.” so when I was mad at him, I’d insert tacks into the wall in places he couldn’t easily see just out of spite. Whoever owns the house now is probably wondering about it.
bro didn’t even know you could just fill holes with toothpaste 💀
I know this is about an owned house (that you should be touching up and repainting the walls of before reselling anyway???) but for ppl who are paranoid about putting holes in rental walls: don’t be. Put up posters. Shelving if you need it. Have hanging plants. Invest in a studfinder. Spackle kits are cheap and everywhere now, or you can use white toothpaste, glue, or even soft air-dry clay to fill holes. Scuffs and rub marks are considered normal wear and tear and landlords can’t charge you for them. Most places will have you fill holes but will have to repaint between tenants anyway, so even if the spackle doesn’t match the walls, it’s not a big deal. Check your state laws about what is considered normal wear and tear. Most states have laws covering everything from paint to flooring. For instance, in my state, carpet that is 3+ years old is considered past its normal life cycle and therefore any damage to it cannot be charged for because the landlord/management is expected to put in new carpeting.
Before any move-out, check local laws considering paint, flooring, light fixtures, appliances, etc. Landlords and management companies make BANK on people not knowing that they’re paying for paint rubs that they’re painting over anyway and carpet that has been paid for 6 times over.
Reminder: they’re never ever ever ever going to give you your security deposit back no matter what you do. have fun with life.
Just saw a Barbie ad here for the first time. It is starting, folks. They must already be desperate if they’re buying ad space on TUMBLR.
Do not reblog official marketing or ads from struck works
including (but not remotely limited to) Barbie. They are advertising here because their actors are on strike and will not promote their products.
Barbie is not a struck work. It is okay to reblog barbie content. It’s done and finished. Going to premiers for it is crossing the line. But going to the regular ass movie is not.
Read me and read me good: not seeing Barbie is a great way to show execs that we don’t care about writers and actors.
Let me say that again: going to see Barbie is GOOD for the strike. Many people who WORKED on barbie are striking. They probably have not been paid yet.
The unions HAVE NOT asked us to picket the movie. Just the premier.
The original post is disinformation.
I believe it to be coming from a good place but avoiding works that are NOT being struck is genuinely harmful to the cause.
i do feel it sometimes gets lost in the noise that, although light is constantly surrounded by police & becomes a police officer at some point, he isn’t really pro-cop. he kills hundreds of them over the course of the series. when he expresses an admiration for the police, it’s as part of his persona — he’s doing that so the task force will trust him. his worldview (punishment over all else) is more-or-less aligned with the interest of the police state, but on a practical level he’s directly opposed to them. like he’s not anti-cop in a ACAB way or anything. he just doesn’t like them because he’s a serial killer and he doesn’t want to to to jail. imo it’s an interesting element of death note because it shows that you don’t need to be in favour of the machine of violence to participate in said violence.
the mental image of this was too good I had to draw it :)
the way that she has to do a split and bend like that to take a closer look at barbie’s feet because that’s literally the only way the dolls can do that
As always, I recommend the short documentary White Shamans and Plastic Medicine Men (available on youtube). It’s a couple decades old, but still a great look into the appropriation of indigenous spirituality and how even the most sincere attempts at respecting stolen practices are still appropriation and still do tangible harm to indigenous communities.
