Alien: You’re telling me that in times of great distress humans have been known to suddenly gain the strength necessary to lift objects more than a dozen times their own weight?!

Human: Yeah, it’s called “hysterical strength” and it usually happens in life-or-death situations, like when someone gets stuck under a car or something and someone lifts the car to get them out. We can’t really test it though, ‘cause it only happens spontaneously.

Alien: Humans have the ability to tap into untold strength and power and you don’t even know how you do it?

Human: Pretty much, yeah. We think it has something to do with temporary analgesia, so we just don’t feel the pain we should when we pick up a 3000-pound car.

Alien: YOUR PAIN RESPONSE JUST SHUTS OFF?

Human: Yeah, it’s like an adrenaline thing? Do you not have that?

Alien: Fuck you and your entire species of tiny juggernauts.

this comic by Matt Lubchansky pretty much summarizes my feelings about companies that try to sell products using oppressed groups’ mass deaths as a marketing technique 

also FYI, yes this is based on an actual thing Nike did 

It looks like this:

and ACT UP was quoted saying in response: 

“We deserve better [than] to have our work be exploited by corporations that profiteer off grassroots resistance imagery” 

So yeah, Nike has been doing this shit. 

ok but did anybody in boardroom REALLY experience a pang of conscience? its just not realistik

The game of tennis doesn’t deserve Serena Williams

EDIT: Per usual, Roxane nails it:

THIS this is everything perfectly. Like, the main result was humiliating Serena, AGAIN, because heaven fucking forfend she be treated with anything like respect, AND, because that’s not enough for these assholes, steal the triumph of the victory from Naomi. They didn’t want a woman with dark skin period to win this Open. They poisoned it for both of them.
