DREW: Ellen has such a beautiful body, and I personally battled with my own body image for years. I used to tell myself, You can’t wear anything sleeveless or strapless. And all of a sudden I was like, What if I just didn’t send such negative messages to my brain and said, wear it and enjoy it? And now I’m more comfortable in clothes than ever.
ELLEN: That openness. It’s so sexy.
DREW: She was in her freaking bra with an open jacket and hot-pink shorts, skating around the rink with red lips and—
ELLEN: I was having a really good time.
DREW: And she was sexy as a mother—a feral creature. It was great. And it’s so screwed up for girls to think, Oh, because I don’t have that cookie-cutter model body, it must mean I don’t have the right body shape. And I love model bodies, but I just want women to embrace several body shapes. That’s the thing I love about derby. It’s really welcoming.
it’s funny until you realize the sheer number of cis men who think that this is actually how women’s minds work
I think we can all recognize that the “it’s a joke excuse” is the most dismissive, self-righteous loophole, created by those who refuse to examine their power, and assume they have not only the right to say whatever they want to people, but the right to control how other people react to what they have said.

When I became an actress I quickly realize that the world liked their latinos to look Italian. Not like me. So I wasn’t going up for Latina parts. I was going up for African American parts. […] Regardless of the fact that I spoke the language better and understood the culture better, those weren’t the parts that…I could take seriously. Suddenly you have to explain why I look how I look. And then it gets complicated. And nobody wants complicated.

Oh Gina Torres.
I’m sorry, my mind is not understanding having to “explain” looking like this goddess. The explanation is “she is fucking better than you and always will be so give her all the parts and kindly fuck off, kthxbye”
Neroon, yes to everything you said.](http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyhmp3yMN41qh1240o1_r4_500.gif)

With over a months work into this build, Etsy member Barry Shields blasted out an amazing Star Trek / Starship Enterprise (NCC-1701-C) coffee table!
He has this beautiful trekkie beast up for sale on Etsy now for $3,100.
“This Star Trek table is made from ash, poplar and cherry wood. It took me a month to build it and 2 tries to cut the 1/4” glass the way I wanted but it turned out nicely. The glass is cut to look as though its in motion and the base was designed to portray the ship in orbit over a planet.” - Barry

Shat’s expression tho.
dimbosama replied to your post: So uh… my mom was invited to Japan in March. Plane…
So jelly. I want to go to Japan so hard. I would probably move there given half the chance.
Ugh, same here. Except for the moving part, I am far too attached to my country. Alright, maybe I’d like to try it for 6-12 months.
But I bet my mom will love it there, because of all the colours and animal shaped cakes. And more cute/funny stuff.
