The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.
I fucking love him
i can imagine this guy’s voice very clearly in my head but i couldn’t put a name to it
He also jabs racists in the eye!
I love the justice grandpa of fists
I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.
He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.
Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!
He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!
Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.
He said fuck the police!
He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.
He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.
He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.
You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!
And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.
I have a new role model
😍
“justice grandpa of fists”
It’s nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon that’s NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.
Hes like the personification of motherfucker unlimited
Reblogging this newer version of this thread with so many more strips I haven’t seen…why did this character ever disappear. Where did you go, Everett.
we need him more than ever…
sorry to make a long post longer but I feel like we could all really use some Everett True Beating Up Anti-Maskers content:
He’s a hero, our Everett.
Just found out there were live action Everett True shorts (silent films, though, so the outbursts were largely body language)
Reblogging to always have it to hand. :)
Its of proper education for always reblog the good deeds of Everett.
im not christian, but i have encountered so many transphobic christians that actually hearing someone in a position of authority in their religion actively support trans people makes me feel like maybe there is hope
Hey jsyk it’s 2018 and if you’re still drawing characters with big lips like THIS, even if they’re pale/not black, it’s fucking racist. Stop doing it.
No excuses. “It’s a stylistic choice!” It’s a RACIST stylistic choice.
“Idk how else to draw big lips!” That’s because you relied on racist caricatures and are a bad artist. Teach yourself. Learn. If you’re not willing to do that, then you are a bad, racist artist.
“But it’s part of the character design!” Yeah, and it’s racist. If it’s your OC, then change it. If it’s not your OC, make the right choice and draw them with normal looking bigger lips instead of this racist monstrosity.
And if this post makes you uncomfortable because it’s calling you out for stuff you’ve done, good. Fix it. Own up to it. Grow.
If you see this and you’re first thought is to defend this: you are racist. You are part of the problem. Congrats. Now work on yourself and unlearn that.
Here’s how to do it right:
(some troll gave me shit about only providing overly “feminine” examples. I would have been happy to ignore them…but there are so many great examples on how to draw perfectly acceptable (not racist) full-lipped male characters, in the end, I couldn’t resist.)
Since this is making the rounds again, I’m reblogging the version with both sets of examples.
I am consumed by fear that my mother might die in Gaza while I am far away, unable to help her. The thought of her suffering alone in such a dangerous place breaks my heart. I feel so helpless and terrified, knowing I can’t be there to protect her or bring her to safety. Every day is filled with anxiety and dread, as I hope and pray for her survival amidst the chaos.
“Autism traits that are actually advantages-” Hey guys did you know that the problem with eugenics and ableism is the act of assigning different degrees of worth and moral value to different people and abilities and not that we were simply attacking the “wrong” group?
Wow…. so you’re telling me you took an action that resulted in the death of one person…… to save the lives of many people…. who would have died if you did nothing??? that sounds so familiar
My best/favorite teacher would literally take off the points for a question that the majority of the class got wrong from the total on the test and then hold a lesson on the topic because she realized if 90% of her students didn’t know the answer then she hadn’t done a good job teaching it.
I hate it when teachers take pride in having a large percentage of students get bad grades in their classes. It just means that students aren’t learning from you
I had one professor who outright said that if any question on a test was missed by at least fifty percent of the class, then that was a free point for the whole class, because it represented her failure to present the material. In the course of that class, I think it happened once, and she FOLLOWED THROUGH, repeating herself about the why.
Watched a great talk today about web/technology accessibility, and the speaker pointed out that yes, accessibility is important for people with permanent disabilities, and we should definitely care about that. But also accessibility helps EVERYBODY, because everybody will, at some point in their lives, find themselves in situations that accessible technology can help with. Here are permanent, temporary, and situational disabilities that accessible technology can help with:
Remember that whether something is disabling or not depends on the situation, the environment, the technology, etc. We’re ALL disabled at some point. It is important to support permanently disabled people, but it is also important to remember that accessibility helps us all!
it’s still important to help disabled people even if abled people don’t profit from it btw.
we all need to start appreciating peridot stevenuniverse more for what she did for us. it would be easier to say what she DIDN’T do honestly. she’s autistic. she’s silly. she’s sad and little. she’s an overworked i. t. guy. she’s a saturday morning cartoon villain. she’s aroace. she’s gay. she yelled at her boss and immediately had a mental breakdown. she’s both a victim of and perpetuates the oppressive society she was raised in. she has to unlearn her conceptions of other people’s worth and her own worth so she stops hurting other people and hurting herself. she achieves this in part through robot fights. she’s hyperfixated on a canadian soap opera. she draws shipping charts. she’s nonbinary. she can never go home again. she doesn’t want to go home again. she went from believing literally anything was a weapon that could be used to harm her to farming and making art and music with her best friend in a barn. she’s like 3 feet tall. she has a twitter account where she talks in all caps constantly. she’s green and her hair is a triangle literally what can’t she do.
NASA advertising “do you want to be an astronaut” to tumblr users surely means something. What have you found out there, NASA? What have you found that you believe tumblr users, specifically, are best equipped to handle?
i think that all the people who argue about gender by saying “the woke left cant even define a woman” need to get hit with the “who are you” question by a buddhist monk. no, thats your name, who are you. no thats your profession, who are YOU. no you fucking idiot thats your species, who are YOUU. dumb bitch u cant even define yourself
are you aware that it’s fiction. Okay what about shipping canonically straight characters in gay relationships. Is that heterophobic. What about gay characters shipped with the opposite sex/gender. Is that homophobic. What about a cis guy portrayed as a trans guy in a fic. Is that phobic. And since you ask so nicely, I will block you as soon as you answer this
and if anyone read this thinks shipping characters in not okay, please block me.
-sincerely, an aroallo person who has faced a lot of aphobia (as you can guess, being aroallo)
yes I am aware that it’s fiction I’m also against straight/cis characters getting turned gay/trans by a Fandom
I never said it’s not ok to ship characters if that’s what you like to do then go off
I don’t want anyone’s representation to be removed no matter what I just used aro people in my original post because I see them get there representation removed by Fandoms the most out of anyone
has my autistic brain caused me to misread. To make it clear, I’m saying that it’s okay to ship a character no matter what their canonical stuff is. Do you agree with that? You’re saying fandom shouldn’t change a character’s identity. I agree. What I mean is that we should be like “yeah this person is actually aroace but let’s imagine if they were not “ and we should not be like “yeah this character is aroace but I don’t think so lol and here is a ship that is definitely canon coded”
is this making sense? I think respecting the character’s canon and having headcanons can co exist as long as you can admit that it’s a headcanon/fanon. Is this making sense
I agree with your last point yes headcanons and Canon can co exist and should but if your headcanon takes away rep from ANYONE and it gets big enough it can cause people to feel like they don’t belong in life and can genuinely cause depression for some and that goes for shipping race disabilities etc
but if someone says “this character is this and this but let’s imagine they were and this and this happened”. How is that harmful? They are acknowledging the content, just not engaging with it personally
that in itself isn’t harmful its if that idea gets to big and loses the fact that we’re looking at a what if
If it was possible for that headcanon to not lose the fact that it’s a very clearly a what if I would personally not have a problem with it but because the internet is well the internet it will lose the fact that it’s a what if and become so big that it would be better if it never existed because of how harmful it has become
The brain does not magically mature at 25. Actual neuroscientists note some 8-year-olds even have a greater “maturation index” than 25-year-olds. The myth misunderstands basic neuroscience but is still used for anti-trans policymaking like the Cass Report. https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/brain-development-25-year-old-mature-myth.html
