Challenge #04246-K228: Critical Perception Failure

They'd come to inspect the dragons forge. Everyone said the dragon was working there of their own will. Everyone said the main smiths were dragons. They didn't believe it. Even when the dragons showed them, they refused to believe it. Why else would they allow HUMANS to work here too? Or make things for others besides other dragons?

There's always ONE of those beings to show up from time to time. That needs a solid kick in the pants before they are willing to listen, and actually SEE what's right in front of them.

They marched into Featherforge with placards and chants. They made a huge amount of noise, and disrupted a lot of work in progress. White hot metal had to be urgently quenched. Flames had to be quelled. Tools had to be put down in a hurry. Guard rails had to be placed in a rush.

"Two, four, six, eight! Dragons must in-cin-er-ate! One, two, three, four! Let these Dragons out to soar!"

One of them ran straight up to the Dragon on duty, making shoo-ing motions like she thought the Dragon would act like a bird. "Fly! Fly, be free!" She capered about right in front of a head the size of a small hut. "You are no longer a slave to these violent oppressors!"

Hyndarmon, the on-duty Dragon, made herself comfortable and produced an irritated growl that the protestors could feel in their bones. This failed to make an impression.

Challenge #01734-D273: Enough is Enough

I think I just hit that lovely level of rage and confusion where everything seems perfectly calm and rational. -- RecklessPrudence

Penny stood. The last straw had landed and this metaphorical camel was not going to have her back broken. She left her work behind her, and picked up the best, bludgeon-like object in the room, which happened to be her umbrella.

"Where are you going?" asked her co-worker, Lilly.

"Washington," said Penny. "I'm going to beat some motherfucking sense into our

internutter:

This blog is going to go silent, and I am telling you why.

Tumblr’s shitty reblog system with the unnecessary graphics has made reblogs unreadable for people with dyslexia and other sensory processing issues.

For the last two years, I have basically made my career out of being readable. I need to be readable. And I especially need to be readable when I’m reblogged.

Reblogging my shit gets my shit seen. It gets me an audience. It sells my

uhhhh yay sizeism & sexism?  two more reasons not to shop at abercrombie and fitch. (x)

Well of COURSE only who he deems attractive deserves to buy his clothing. THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE YOU ENTITLED ASS.

Should gather all of the “ugly” people in neighborhoods with an A&F store and organize a shop-in. Or a special-day shop-in around the nation.

If the douchebro is right, it should seriously effect his sales. Maybe even run him out

On Stubenville, the news, and victim blaming

We all know what the news did. What we might have missed is WHY they did it.

Ratings.

Angry people gets more people in. It’s free advertising. They all victim blame because that gets them more viewers to who are watching to see what stupid thing they do next.

Therefore, the only way to make them stop is to drop their ratings.

I propose to you: #NoNewsFriday

Deliberately turn off, or tune in to a better channel [cartoon network, discovery,

Again with the censorship?

Hasbro is censoring Derpy by re-voicing her, removing her name, and correcting her lovely eyes - just for the DVD edition.

Warm up your protest pens and keyboards, folks. You can contact Hasbro with your opinion via this handy link. Get to it. Write! Outrage! Send support art!

I’ve already vented my outrage. So can you!

My reaction to Derpy being "underped"

My reaction to Derpy being "underped"

Once again, it’s time to go to arms over Derpy. This time, she’s being censored. Apparently, the DVD version of the cartoon is going to have Derpy’s famous eyes corrected.

Good God in Heaven… [or the deity of your choice] WHY?

Looks like if you can’t make the problem [the mentally disabled] go away, they’re going to pretend it didn’t exist.

So remind

“Don’t make me go away?” – by me

I love Derpy. I love her even more now that she’s had a few lines in the show. Now, some folks seem to think that Derpy and her portrayal is “ableist”. I think it’s quite the opposite.

There are kids out there who have learning difficulties. They are going to have to deal with people like Rainbow Dash who don’t have or

A Bit More on Gridle$$

The real point of Gridle$$ as a means of protest is this:

We are not giving money to any corporation.

We are no longer buying their bullshit. In any form.

If we’re paid, we’re keeping our pay. We’re giving it to actual people who worked to produce the things we need.

We are not buying petrol/gasoline to run our cars because we have bikes. That we repair ourselves.

We are not buying fashionable brand clothing
