Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.
Thank you.
I will always re-blog this
I think it was high school when i overheard some white girl put on her best semi-disgusted and confused voice and go “why do so many Mexicans dress up like cowboys?” and I had to be the person to tell her.
Why do you think the whites say buckero? Cause they couldn’t say vaquero.
A lot of people have been saying – Why should we care? This can’t be real, I don’t do politics, or “I’m not in the US” or “tumblr only has kids”,
Please PLEASE be informed, NET NEUTRALITY IS IMPORTANT, look at the other hundreds of posts on tumblr that will explain it 100 times better than me, but the TLDR of net neutrality gone IS –
– THE INTERNET would be split into packages. E.g. Messaging, streaming etc.
– THAT MEANS prices could be inflated, and this makes NO ROOM for innovation. You know youtube that started from nothing? or facebook? NEW INNOVATE IDEAS wouldn’t be able to bloom as COOPERATES would essentially MONOPOLIZE what you can and cannot use
– Different companies could advertise FAST LANES exclusive to THEM, like company A could say “WE HAVE FASTER FACEBOOK” while company B could be like “WE HAVE BETTER STREAMING”, ALL SHOULD BE EQUAL YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PACKAGES
– This also means that sites like AO3 that are crowdfunded WOULD BE SHUT DOWN. This means many cannot access tumblr because THEY DON’T HAVE THE MONEY.
– They also have the freedom to MEDIATE the internet. Essentially, show YOU news THEY WANT YOU to see, and BLOCK everything else. Sound familiar?
– THERE IS NO BENEFIT, TO US, THE CONSUMER, ITS JUST TO FEED GREEDY COOPERATES MORE MONEY AND INCREASING THE GAP BETWEEN COOPERATES AND US, AND THEY CAN LIMIT OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH
YOU SHOULD CARE. They want to send us DECADES back, they want to have CONTROL AGAIN like they did with CABLE. DON’T GIVE IT TO THEM. DON’T GIVE OUR FREEDOM OVER.
I’m from the UK, but I’m doing my best doing MULTIPLE POSTS FOR AWARENESS BECAUSE I CARE. BECAUSE IT COULD END UP AFFECTING ALL OF US.
IF YOU’RE NOT IN THE US, SPREAD AWARENESS AND NEWS. IF YOU’RE IN THE US BUT A CHILD, TELL YOUR PARENTS TO CALL UP OR SEND A TEXT. MAKE EVERYONE AWARE. FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHT OF SPEECH, FREEDOM, INFORMATION AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,
I’m absolutely embarrassed that I never knew this before but…
The pen stand that most Wacom products come with?
It twists off and has a bunch of nibs in it.
I’ve been buying extra nibs when they were in this stupid thing the whole time.
Reblog to save a life.
ARe YOU KIDDING
I just checked and HOLY FUCK
For anyone who has a Wacom Intuos that looks like this
The spare nibs are on the back of the removable panel where you can change the pen loop colour.
Also there’s a little hole in that compartment that looks like this
You see the little eject symbol? This guy is how you remove your worn down nibs.
Press the pen nib in on an angle like this and lift up.
and ta-da! you just removed your pen nib!
HOOOLLLLYYY COOOOW
I feel like an idiot for not knowing this.
FUCK
ok i’ve never had an intuos but im reblogging this because it’s funny as fuck why the hell is wacom so god damn extra like literally what other consumer electronic product would have a hidden removable panel that contains customizable color attachments, replacements for worn out parts, and a mysterious “eject hole” with like ZERO EXPLANATION
WHAT OTHER COMPANY THIS VAGUE AND EXCESSIVE ?? THEIR STANDARD PARTS REPLACEMENTS ARE HIDDEN WITHIN THEIR PRODUCT SO SECRETIVELY THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE LEARNING ABOUT IT FROM A TUMBLR POST AFTER OWNING THE PRODUCT FOR Y E A R S
Hey y’all, I know that you guys don’t know me and all, but I was wondering if you guys can share this GoFundMe for my grandma eye surgery that me and my brother are launching. She has been having headaches and serious problems with her vision. She’s sooo sooo good, she has taken care of us ever since our mom left when we were little. She is so strong and kind, and loving.
I know this might not get far, we just don’t know what to do right now. We don’t have insurance or anything and I don’t want her to just suffer through it. If you can reblog and donate if you’re able to. we just need help, she’s honestly the only family member that I have. The goal is $3752 which would just cover the surgery. Please y’all. please.
