oh you think your life is hard? try being a gay rat living in france who hates your dad and just wants to cook
why did this post make me realize there are no female rats in this movie
actually there is, she has one line at the end when she says “how do you know?”
ok I just skimmed though the movie again, and here she is in the beginning, she just doesn’t say anything, and you wouldn’t guess she was a girl because they didn’t do that weird humanizing, tits and longer eyelashes thing that most movies with animals do.
i’m pretty sure that all the female coded rats are the smaller rats, which is apparently accurate to real rats. Remmy is also really small. after going though the movie I realized that there are only five rats that have actual lines. Remmy, Emile, the dad, the really big bodyguard rat, and the rat at the end. whack.
>girl rats are smaller
>Remmy is smaller
>Remmy is trans
remmy is trans and his father accepts that but not his passion for cooking
remmy: dad i think im a boy
dad: sure son
remmy: also im tired of eating literal rotted garbage
dad: you w h a t
Dad: no daughter of mine is going to cook!
Remmy: actually dad I’m a boy
Dad: thank you for telling me I support you
Dad: NO SON OF MINE IS GOING TO COOK!

Eleven states require automakers sell a certain percentage of zero-emissions vehicles by 2025. If they can’t, the automakers have to buy regulatory credits from another automaker that meets those requirements – such as Tesla, which exclusively sells electric cars.
It’s a lucrative business for Tesla – bringing in $3.3 billion over the course of the last five years, nearly half of that in 2020 alone. The $1.6 billion in regulatory credits it received last year far outweighed Tesla’s net income of $721 million – meaning Tesla would have otherwise posted a net loss in 2020.
Tesla’s Business Model Isnt Selling Cars
tesla being a running dog for big oil is so on the nose I could vomit

Valentine’s day is NOT a day for lovers, couples, or people in relationships. Valentine’s day is exclusively for elementary school students who each buy their entire class cute little cards with cartoon characters on them, messily scrawl their classmates names there as an act of love, and give them a tiny little candy packet.
that is the height of the holiday.

Geneology Commission Post:
Hello! I am Chaviv, a Jewish butch lesbian and genealogist always looking for clients. I do record research through ancestry.com, findagrave, and multiple different genealogical databases and independent record research depending on need. I have experience researching people of a vast array of different ethnicities, family histories, and backgrounds.
I am a thorough researcher and have helped over 200 people, people who can testify to the quality of my work. I charge on a scale of $35, $55, or $75 an hour depending on what people can pay. This is a fair price for the level of quality and research I put into the work that I provide. For commission inquiries, comment and I will DM you more about my process.
OP did amazing work for me. i’ve been my family’s genealogist for years, however i hit a brick wall on my maternal grandfather’s side that i never, EVER in my wildest dreams thought i’d get past.
luckily, i found @soloveitchik and they got past that wall and came through with dozens and dozens of names i hadn’t known, lots of info i never would’ve found, and photos of my ancestors that i would’ve never laid my eyes on. i was so emotional about finally knowing these things that i was physically tearing up once i went through my tree.
they’re truly incredible at what they do, i can’t recommend them (or thank them) enough!
Commissions have really slowed down so I would appreciate if people kept reblogging!

antiblackness occurs in such mundane ways sometimes for instance requiring employees to wear hats but not having a visor option, in case management hasn’t noticed not everyone’s hair can lay flat like that

Tang dynasty women playing polo, paintings by Wang Kewei
The word polo is thought to derive from the Tibetan pulu, the wood from which the ball was made.
Much controversy surrounds the origin of polo. Tibet, China, Iran, India, and Central Asia have all been proposed as homelands for the game. It remains possible that the game had more than one point of origin, though a recent study has argued convincingly that polo developed in northeastern Iran out of the equestrian chase games played by the mounted nomads of Central Asia in the last centuries before the Common Era.
Polo probably was introduced to China sometime between the end of the Han period (206 B.C.E.- 220 C.E.) and the early part of the Tang dynasty (618-907). It seems likely that it was introduced by the Xianbei tribes that controlled northern China from the fourth to sixth century. The ruling house of the Tang dynasty, the Li family, itself had Xianbei ancestry, at least on the maternal side. The Xianbei, because of their nomadic origins, had a great fondness for horses, a trait that (like many aspects of their culture) was inherited by the Tang dynasty. It is also notable that the Xianbei accorded higher status and more physical freedom to women than the Han Chinese, so women became avid polo players under the Tang dynasty.
The emperors of the Tang dynasty such as Zhongzong, Xuanzong, Muzong, Jingzong, Xuanzong, Xizong, and Zhaozong were all supporters and participants themselves in the polo sport. In the 6th year of the Tianbao era (747), Emperor Tang Xuanzong issued a special order, and declared that polo would become one of the subjects for military training.
Polo was wildly popular during the Tang dynasty but it was also dangerous; riders thrown from their horses were frequently injured or killed. So sometimes donkeys were used instead of horses - as a safer alternative.
The Tang era terracotta figurines of polo players, both male and female, were unearthed in China. The game is also depicted on paintings and on frescoes in excavated tombs.
From Tang times on, the education of the upper class became more bookish, and martial skills, such as horsemanship, archery, and swordsmanship, came to play a lesser role in the elite life. So polo also gradually lost its popularity and completely fade away by the Qing dynasty.
Women stopped playing polo much earlier - when the conservative Neo-Confucian teaching grew in popularity after the Tang dynasty fall. For women, Neo-Confucianism placed extra emphasis on chastity, obedience and diligence. A good wife should have no desire other than to serve her husband, no ambition other than to produce a son, and no interest beyond subjugating herself to her husband’s family. Of course, this left no space for physical training, horsemanship and sport.
This is awesome AND educational! I love it! I also knew immediately that it was Tang dynasty, because it had horses and the Tang dynasty was OBSESSED with horse. Especially statues of them. So pro tip: if you see Chinese artwork and are wondering what dynasty it’s from? Look for the horses, if they’re there it’s probably Tang dynasty.
