it just occurred to me that cats are basically pet monsters

  • go bump in the night
  • scratches at your door
  • alarming noises
  • “where are you, kitty?” looks under bed to see a pair of luminous eyes staring out of the gloom, unblinking. “oh there you are!”
  • you spot movement out of the corner of your eye, but when you turn to look you see nothing 
  • turn back and THERE IT IS

I’m sorry I couldn’t resist drawing these

Rare Photos of Black Rosie the Riveters

During World War II, 600,000 African-American women entered the wartime
workforce. Previously, black women’s work in the United States was
largely limited to domestic service and agricultural work, and wartime
industries meant new and better-paying opportunities – if they made it
through the hiring process, that is. White women were the targets of the
U.S. government’s propaganda efforts, as embodied in the lasting and
lauded image of Rosie the Riveter.Though largely ignored in America’s
popular history of World War II, black women’s important contributions
in World War II factories, which weren’t always so welcoming, are
stunningly captured in these comparably rare snapshots of black Rosie
the Riveters.

Reblogging because I’ve never seen these before, and I bet a lot of people haven’t. 

If you are really interested in this history, might I recommend both Creating Rosie the Riveter: Class, Gender, and Propaganda in World War II and Bitter Fruit: African-American Women in World War II.

Small Update!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I got a job recently (woo! :D), so I haven’t had quite as much time to go on Tumblr (and that’s the reason I haven’t posted as often as usual).

BUT, dare I say it, the job is actually kinda fun! It’s a store associate position at a pet store, so I get to work with animals (which is great!), and thus far, my hours have been decent. 

I’m starting to settle in to my schedule more now, so hopefully I won’t be as absent soon, lol.

the BEST part of mamma mia (2008) one of the greatest movies ever made:

the (purposeful?) lack of effort put into the flashbacks, just straight up putting a wig on 47 year old colin firth, 55 year old pierce brosnan, and 56 year old stellan skarsgard and saying they’re all like 20 (TWENTY) is a level of iconic very few movies possess
