Why the fuck is tumblr putting advertisements on my dash in the form of posts? Who do I complain to?

Just a silly exercise (hence pencil-lines), but this turned out neat! Using non-uniform colors for outlines is pretty sharp.
Let me tell you a thing, about an amazing man named Patrick Stewart
I went to Comicpalooza this weekend and I was full of nervous energy as I was standing in line to ask Sir Patrick Stewart a question at his panel. I first had to thank him for a speech he had given at amnesty international about domestic violence towards women . I had only seen it a few months ago but I was still dealing with my own personal experience with a similar issue, and I didn’t know what to call it. After seeing Patrick talk so personally about it I finally was able to correctly call it abuse, in my case sexual abuse that was going to quickly turn into physical abuse as well. I didn’t feel guilty or disgusting anymore. I finally didn’t feel responsible for the abuse that was put upon me. I was finally able to start my healing process and to put that part of my life behind me.
After thanking him I asked him “Besides acting, what are you most proud of that you have done in you life (that you are willing to share with us)?”. Sir Patrick told us about how he couldn’t protect his mother from abuse in his household growing up and so in her name works with an organization called Refuge for safe houses for women and children to escape from abusive house holds. Sir Patrick Stewart learned only last year that his father had actually been suffering from PTSD after he returned from the military and was never properly treated. In his father’s name he works with an organization called Combat Stress to help those soldiers who are suffering from PTSD.
They were about to move onto the next question when Sir Patrick looked at me and asked me “My Dear, are you okay?” I said yes, and that I was finally able to move on from that part of my life. He then passionately said that his mother had done nothing to provoke his father and that even if she had, violence was never, ever a choice a man should make. That it is in the power of men to stop violence towards women. The moderator then asked “Do you want a hug?”
Sir Patrick didn’t even hesitate, he smiled, hopped off the stage and came over to embrace me in a hug. Which he held me there for a long while. He told me “You never have to go through that again, you’re safe now.” I couldn’t stop thanking him. His embrace was so warm and genuine. It was two people, two strangers, supporting and giving love. And when we pulled away he looked strait in my eyes, like he was promising that. He told me to take care. And I will.
Sir Patrick Stewart is an absolute roll model for men. He is an amazing man and was so kind and full of heart. I want to let everyone know to please find help if you are in a violent or abusive house hold or relationship. There are organizations and people ready to help. I had countless people after the panel thanking me for sharing the story and asking him those questions. Many said they went through similar things. You are not alone.

made rebloggable because people wanted it, this is a very very simple thing that i used to talk about why birds are dinosaurs and what that means and where they fit into the family tree, why “reptile” is a weird arbitrary term that excludes birds only because it was made up before we knew birds were dinosaurs and we’re stubborn, why “sauropsid” is a better term that isn’t as weird and arbitrary, and where lizards and other modern reptile descendants fit into the family
there’s a lot of very interesting detail to go into that i did not go into, this is very very simplistic, as evidenced by the fact that i used a good amount of land before time nomenclature. i grouped some different animal groups together for the sake of clarity that are not usually represented as a single group (sauropods & ornithischians are usually distinct, but the thing i wanted to get across was “non-theropod dinosaurs”, turtles belong to a slightly more distant-past fork than lizards and snakes, there are many more non-dinosaur archosaurs than pterosaurs and plesiosaurs and crocodilians, etc)
if youre interested in any of that stuff and you have a little while to spend on wikipedia, pretty much any term is a goldmine of information and also specifically articles like “bird evolution” or “evolution of reptiles”
I thought you all might find this interesting!

John Thomson (1837 ~ 1921): Physic Street in Hong Kong and Wah Lum Chu in Canton, 1869. Épreuves à l’albumine
“John Thomson quitta l’Ecosse pour l’Extrême-Orient, en 1865, et durant dix ans, il voyagea et prit des photographies en Malaisie, en Indochine, au Cambodge et en Chine. Il publie un grand nombre d’albums et de livres, notamment The Antiquities of Cambodia et Illustrations of China and Its People, qui se trouvent à la bibliothèque Menschel.
Ses travaux réalisés en Chine témoignent de son inépuisable énergie, de l’étendue de ses intérêts culturels, et d’une grande sensibilité visuelle à l’exotisme… Dans la vue intérieure de Wah Lum Chu, un faisceau de lumière balaie la fameuse Salle des Saints de Hua-lin-szu ou Temple de la Forêt Splendide, à Canton, connue pour abriter plus de 500 statues de bouddhistes vénérés.”

And all they had was me.
All they wanted was a villain, a villain
So then they just took me.
