Philippine Independence Day: Why this Google homepage Art matters

muchymozzarella:

What does this have to do with Independence Day? Yes, it’s a beautiful reef, and the Philippines is proud of its reefs, but why this of all designs? 

It’s amazing, really, how absolutely thoughtful and rebellious this piece of art is. 

I have not exaggerated when I say that China is DESTROYING THE PHILIPPINES in terms of our marine natural resources. 

They have been building artificial islands, thereby destroying miles of reefs and marine life. They have been stocking up MILITARY VEHICLES AND WEAPONRY on those islands. 

And still, Duterte does nothing. Our supposedly tough president does nothing while China arms itself to destroy us and destroy our natural resources and destroy what will take centuries to rebuild. 

This is why the image seen celebrating Philippine Independence is our untouched, beautiful coral reefs. 

Because we need to fight for them.

i have a feeling the writing hype’s going to keep me up but hey I gotta go catch some snoozes before I get told to go catch some snoozes

Leander deserves his own fic even though I’m up to the tip of my head with this one already pfft

WARNING: THE INCREDIBLES 2  IS NOT EPILEPSY SAFE.

exigetspersonal:

This is not a joke. I was at a premier showing tonight, and my immediate thought was how disasterously unsafe this movie is for my photosensitive epilepic friends. @markingatlightspeed I’m tagging you with this specifically because this would be extremely dangerous for you to watch.

There are multiple scenes in this movie with full-screen, black-and-white flashing strobe effects. They all happen without warning, and last anywhere between a few seconds to more than two minutes. In a darkened movie theater, this means the likelihood of a seizure could be VERY HIGH if you are sensitive to these effects.

If you have photosensitive epilepsy or another disorder that is triggered by strobe lights, I would highly recommend you DO NOT SEE THE INCREDIBLES 2 IN THEATERS. Wait until the movie’s released on digital/Bluray, and you can watch it in a fully-lit room, with someone with you who will be able to help if the strobe effects do trigger a seizure.

Please stay safe.

Alright so A quick recap

of how much Roland has mastered the art of not talking about it

among the 5 including Lofty by the time of the ghost arc:

Evan and Tani knows that he’s from another world. Only Tani knows why he ended up there.

Lofty and Leander knows about his physical corruption, only Lofty knows how it happened.

Batu’s… I’ll just keep it under read more pft

Batu already knows about Roland’s past from Tani; she blurted it out after the argument during the drafting of the Treaty. That’s why Roland heard “It’s nothin’” afterwards, Tani was going to get Batu to apologise but Batu also thinks that Roland may need his sleep; so he didn’t get the chance to until they got on the boat.
