You can tell this website sits squarely at the intersection of the autism and ADHD communities because being a fan of more than one thing at a time is something people feel the need to apologise for.
Like, I’m not trying to diagnose anyone over the Internet here, but your blog header is anxiously apologising for the fact that your posts are sometimes curated with insufficient rigour like you’re a mouse in a tweed vest who lives inside a broken microfilm projector at a small-town public library.
Her name’s Cynthia Rothrock and you’d better put some respect on it!
she’s part of the old guard of Hong Kong kung fu films where you had to be an honest to god martial artist to play the role correctly. when she started acting in American movies they had to keep telling her to not hit so hard lmao
love watching her sword very carefully and gracefully missing him
Cynthia Rothrock is also the inspiration for Sonya Blade and she started doing work in Hong Kong after Hollywood kept saying there was no room for female action stars.
Cynthia Rothrock is so bad ass and trained her body so much, she defies what a normal body is capable of doing. When she ripped her ACL she turned down the reconstructive therapy because of how much work she had. The doctors told her she wouldn’t be able to walk properly cause her kneecap wouldn’t be held in place anymore. Que their surprise when she walks out, but keeps working without any issues.
Turns out her quadriceps and hamstrings were so strong that they held her kneecap in place even WITHOUT HER ACL. She still hadn’t done so as of 2012 last reported
Let’s watch Cynthia and Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh kick some ass:
Just finished my Autumn Leaves pattern in time for November! by Complete-Ambition385
This is why “credit the artist” is so critical.
I showed this to my mom. She flipped her shit. Wants the pattern. I clicked the link. Got to the original, which had a link to the pattern. Mom is buying the pattern, artist makes money.
While I’m there, I notice it’s had dozens of hits in the last 24 hours. Why? Because its making rounds on tumblr and somebody credited the artist.
gaza has just been completely cut off from the world.
after increased intensity of israeli aistrikes tonight, the last cable providing communications was destroyed. telecommunications have been completely cut off. they cannot reach one another. they cannot reach paramedics. the red crescent society has completely lost contact with their branch in gaza. nobody inside can reach anyone inside, and especially not outside of gaza to tell us what is going on. this is a complete atrocity.
al jazeera has managed to maintain infrequent communication with their journalists in gaza. from their reporter wael dahdouh: “we are not fine. body parts are everywhere, missiles are targeting everyone, and the bombing hasn’t stopped for a second.”
do not stop talking about gaza. they are trying to commit genocide in the dark. do not stop talking.
your existence ALONE is a radiant blast into the void. you are creating futures where there was darkness and filling the empty space with perfect imperfection. thank you for this gift it is an honor to trot along beside you
