Something from my sketchbook that I liked. I fucked up in the corner when I tried to cut out that hand though.

being white IS the privelage in this case. white people, even of the same class, are more likely to get the job than a PoC. its not about class privelage, that’s something else. I get where ur comin from tho i got u there are stereotypes feuling it 2im kinda confused by ur argument :(
it seems like you’re saying that since its easier to be a white person in this day and age, its okay to make racist jokes against them but not PoC.
Calling white people privileged is a racial stereotype. All steretoypes derive from some truth, but that doesn’t make them okay.
I feel like by bringing up the job thing, you’re talking about a completely separate topic. but if you do think its related, then i still think its wrong because even if you are better off living in our world as a white person you’re still saying that because of that, white girl jokes are okay to make versus jokes about other races. thats the problem here we’re still targeting a race.
Sorry to butt in if this is more of a private conversation between friends, but I think I might be able to help clarify?
“No, you can’t kill yourself,” I say. I’m on my knees, desperately plastering the bandage back onto his wound.
“Katniss,” he says. “It’s what I want.”
“You’re not leaving me here alone,” I say. Because if he dies, I’ll never go home, not really. I’ll spend the rest of my life in this arena trying to think my way out.

Haha I talked to a school board member and he lied to me, to my face, on stuff about the budget cuts and IB.
What did you ask?
but basically
in summation
FUCK THE SYSTEM.
"'Listen here, Internet girl,' he says, getting up. 'It wouldn’t kill you to watch a film or pick up a newspaper once in a while.' I’m not sure how he’s forgotten that I am writing for a newspaper."
Here is an article by Sarah Nicole Prickett in which she very gracefully allows Aaron Sorkin to demonstrate everything awful about Aaron Sorkin, from the arrogance to the woman problem to the inability to comprehend the modern press. (via @jodyrosen)

Um? Seriously? While I understand and agree with the spirit of this quotation (that the education system does not at all represent the wide spectrum of intelligence), I really, really don’t appreciate the implication that the two degrees for which I worked extremely hard only prove that I can “jump through hoops” and have made me “submissive to authority.” What? My five years of effort, thought, creativity, and growth are just “meaningless” “letters on a piece of paper.” Okay. Thanks. :/ I’m just good at following instructions and incapable of independent thought. I think denigrating academic achievement is just as misguided as assuming someone that didn’t go to college isn’t as smart as someone who did.
(via canistakahari)The pre-movie advertising gave the impression that she was going to have a far greater role than she actually did, and I suspect that this oversaturation of Cobie Smulders/Maria Hill publicity was because they were very aware that out of an ensemble cast of around 15 characters, only three are women, and only one of those women is in a starring role.
While The Avengers wasn’t explicitly sexist, it did follow the Hollywood habit of setting all action/adventure stories in some parallel universe where women only make up about 25% of the population. This isn’t a criticism of Hill’s characterisation, which was more or less what you’d expect from a businesslike second-in-command/expository dialogue character.
The cast is already so big that there’s no time to expand every character, but the fact that Cobie Smulders was featured so prominently at the Avengers premieres and press events does rather highlight the fact that the first-tier cast consists of seven men plus Scarlett Johansson.
