Blackfish - Trailer
Beyond the lies, beneath the deception, the truth will surface.
Magnolia Pictures has debuted the trailer for the chilling Sundance documentary Blackfish, directed Gabriela Cowperthwaite, about orcas in captivity.
Holy shit.
OKAY, WE NEED TO REBLOG THE FUCK OUT OF THIS. EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT AN ANIMAL PERSON, YOUR FOLLOWERS NEED TO SEE THIS. ESPECIALLY DURING THE HEIGHT OF VACATION SEASON. DO NOT SUPPORT SEA PARKS WITH CAPTIVE WHALES. IT’S NOT ENVIRONMENTAL PROPAGANDA (I can’t believe I even used those words) IT’S A REAL ISSUE AND IT’S NOT A MATTER OF PROOF, IT’S A MATTER OF COVERING IT UP AND IGNORING IT!
This makes me realllllllly sad/mad
Lol, tumblr is going to hate me for this one…. but okay, let’s get real people. I haven’t watched this documentary, but I can say a few things from what I know.
Sure, they may have trapped wild animals and put them on display a long time ago, but Sea World is a conservation and rehabilitation center for animals. Animals that come in are hurt, sick, or orphaned with the ultimate goal of being released into the wild. There are some circumstances where the animals are not released back into the wild, including if they are too injured that they will die if they are released or if they are born in the park. If they are born in the park, they have never been wild and probably will not be able to survive.
Yes, it seems inhumane to keep such beautiful, majestic creatures in large salt water tanks when they could be living in the ocean, but believe me…. the ones at Sea World would die if they were reintroduced into the wild.
The reason these animals are taught to perform isn’t just for kicks. As you can imagine, animals become bored. They have to have something to do so they won’t be bored all the time, hence, tricks.
It seems like people are so quick to jump on the “injustice” train without really knowing their facts. This documentary may have some truth in it, but there are always two sides of the story. If an animal becomes hurt in the wild, to the point where it will die if it does not have medicine or cannot hunt for food, would you rather see it die in the wild of those causes or live the rest of its life in captivity where it will be cared for?
Obviously either choice would be very difficult to make, but at least be aware of what Sea World actually does.
Not at all. I personally have no problem with it.
What I CAN’T stand:
-When they just take your photo without asking first
-They treat you like you are no person, but a doll or a freak and jump in front of you with a camera and just try to touch you
-When they want you to strike naughty poses
-When they just talk about you like you are not there at all - “LOOK AT THAT, QUICK TAKE A PICTURE OF HER!”
-When they look like the gonna wank over it later
-When the ask you, while they take the photo, if you are working for the circus or something
I LOVE:
-To pose for polite and nice people
-With children or for children
-When I am with other Lolitas
-For families and tourists
I’m going to add: asking for pictures politely is fine. It is not fine to be rude to do so, examples:
1. I am clearly in a hurry and you are stopping me for a picture.
2. I am clearly on the phone, talking to a friend in deep conversation, at a party, or other social event that requires my full attention.
3. I am engaged in a transaction activity like talking to a waitress or barista, paying for something at a register, etc.
4. If I am taking pictures of myself (outfit shots, perhaps), a friend and I, or a group you don’t belong to. DOUBLE rude is to jump into a group of lolitas to photo bomb their group shot for your own picture/hilarity.
(Yes I have had all these things happen to me.) If I am mostly unoccupied, you are pleasant, and don’t spend two hours fiddling with your camera, I’m very happy to talk to you :) If you’re being rude, you’re going to try my patience quickly.
I’m really mad so lemme just put this psa out into the world
DO YOU SEE THIS MASCARA? THIS MASCARA IS CALLED MAYBELLINE THE ROCKET VOLUME EXPRESS
I WENT TO GO BUY MASCARA THE OTHER DAY AND THIS SHIT WAS ONE DOLLAR CHEAPER THAN MY USUAL MASCARA (rimmel sexy curves) SO I BOUGHT IT (because I’m a fool of a took) AND I COULD WRITE SONNETS ABOUT THE WAYS IN WHICH IT IS TERRIBLE
THE BRISTLES ARE ODDLY SHORT AND DON’T CATCH YOUR LASHES PROPERLY EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE RUBBER OR PLASTIC OR SOME PINE NEEDLE SHIT
IT CLUMPED ALL OF MY EYELASHES IMMIDIATELY UPON IMPACT AND THEY WOULDN’T SEPARATE EVEN WHEN USING AN EYELASH COMB
IT WOULD NOT COME OFF. AND NO IT IS NOT THE WATERPROOF KIND BECAUSE I CHECKED FOR THAT BEFORE AND AFTER BUYING IT. I USED MAKEUP REMOVER TWICE, CLEANSED MY FACE WITH THE STRENGTH OF GASTON, TONED LIKE OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN IN THE 80’S, AND STILL HAD OPAQUE BLACK STREAKS DOWN MY FACE.
YOU KNOW HOW YOU BUY MASCARA AND YOU’RE SO EXCITED TO USE IT AND THEN THE FIRST TIME YOU DO IT’S LIKE THE HEAVENS OPEN UP AND LITTLE CHERUBS FLOAT DOWN FROM PEARLESCENT CLOUDS AND KISS YOUR EYELASHES GENTLY AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING AND THAT BEYONCE HERSELF HAS NODDED AT YOU AND WHISPERED “FIERCE”
USING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME WAS MORE LIKE POOPING IN A PUBLIC TOILET
ON A SCALE OF ONE TO HORRENDOUS I WOULD GIVE IT ELEVEN MILLION STARS
IM MAD!!!

for those not in the know, night witches were russian lady bombers who bombed the shit out of german lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get the fuck out of dodge.
their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured.
how the fuck is this not taught in every single history class ever
pretty sure I’ve reblogged this before but it can happen again
This is laughably incorrect.
Although technologically obsolete as of WWII, the Polikarpov Po-2 “Kukuruznik” biplanes flown by the 588th Night Bomber Regiment were in no way ” the oldest, noisiest, crappest planes in the entire world.”
Fact 1: The Po-2 was first flown in 1929 and remained in production until 1953 due to its low cost and extreme reliability. It is, in fact, the second most produced aircraft in history, and the most produced biplane in history. The night bombers flew brand new, specially modified Po-2s fitted with bomb racks and machine guns.
Fact 2: The Po-2 was extremely quiet; Germans nicknamed it the Nähmaschine (“sewing machine”) due to the muted rattling sound its tiny little 99-horsepower radial engine made. The night bombers would fly these quiet, sneaky little planes just a few meters off the ground, then climb to higher altitude, cut the engine, and glide to the attack point so that the Germans would have no warning of an incoming attack other than the ghostly whistle of wind through the wing bracing-wires.
Fact 3: Saying “their leader flew over 200 missions” is both inaccurate and damning with faint praise. All of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment pilots flew multiple missions every night, with the record being eighteen missions flown back-to-back-to-back-to-back in a single night. By the end of the war, most of the “Night Witches” had around a thousand combat sorties under their belts.
The Night Witches were THAT fucking badass, and it pisses me off when people get it all wrong because they’re too damn lazy to do their homework.
