acadieum:

Hey everyone! It’s crazy how in about four months, I was able to reach more than 2.7k followers! I’m still in disbelief and overwhelmed with your support but regardless, I really appreciate it! 

Anyways, I decided to do an art raffle as a mini celebration to give back to you guys but this raffle will only be going for a short time because I want to re-open commissions sometime after my birthday! So, the entries will be closed at NOON PST on July 17!

Rules: 

• You must be following me! (New followers are welcome but please don’t follow just to unfollow.)
  
• 1 Reblog = 1 Entry (You may reblog as many times as you’d like, but don’t spam your followers. I will be choosing winners at random. If you win, please have your DMs open so I can message you about your prize.)
• Don’t tag this post with #//giveaway.
• I have the right to refuse any request from the winners if I am uncomfortable with it. (No overly detailed or NSFW requests.)

If you’d like to, write something nice in the tags of this post but you absolutely don’t have to! Good luck to everyone who enters! :) 💕

A Tasting Menu of Female Representation:

rehfan:

madlori:

qfeminism:

thisisrabbit:

priscellie:

cl-hilbert:

The Bechdel:

two or more women talking to each other about something other than a man

The Mako Mori:

at least one female character with her own narrative arc that is not about supporting a man’s story

The Sexy Lamp:

a female character that cannot be removed from the plot and replaced with a sexy lamp without destroying the story.

Chef’s Specials:

The Anti-Freeze:

no woman assaulted, injured or killed to further the story of another character.

The “Strength is Relative”:

complex women defined by solid characterization rather than a handful of underdeveloped masculine-coded stereotypes.

Furiosa test.

^^

“Ghostbusters” blows all of these tests completely out of the water.

And generates at least one that I think ought to be added:

The Pizza Night Test

Women are shown eating non-salad food and no comment is made about anyone getting fat or breaking their diet.

I love everyone in this bar.

YIVO Announces Discovery of 170,000 Lost Jewish Documents Thought to Have Been Destroyed During the Holocaust | YIVO Institute for Jewish Research | The Edward Blank YIVO Vilna Collections Project

The new discovery is of particular note for its wealth of manuscripts, precious religious writings—in Hebrew and Yiddish—record books of shuls and yeshivas; mystical writings, and more. Additionally, the collection contains post-war and wartime materials, such as poetry written while in the Vilna Ghetto by Abraham Sutzkever. All other materials that have previously been found from this time period in Eastern Europe precede the outbreak of WWII.

My breath caught and I’m in a full body emotional response over this and I haven’t even read the article.
