windsdarkpoem: transradical: I normally wouldn’t post links to download pirated content, but the message of Julia Serano’s magnificent first book Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity is so important for every woman (trans or cis) to read that I’m breaking my rule. If you consider yourself a feminist, you have no excuse not to read this. Like it? Buy...

I take back what I said last night
inkstone: I know exactly how Tarrlok (…is that how it’s spelled?) got that militia. Korra sneaks into an Equalist rally where she sees Amon take away people’s bending abilities. She gets found out but Amon lets her go because she’s “the perfect messenger.” Korra returns to Air Temple Island where she tells Tenzin what happened (fulfilling her messenger role). As a member of the council,...

-frabjousday answered your question: Can someone give me a hand? Can you open them in picture editing program and save them as non-animated? I tried that, but it only opens like, ONE frame =/ I thought GIFs were layers of frames but I don’t know enough of these kinds of animated GIFs to be able to do it. I was using Photoshop CS4 if anybody wants to tell me how to do it.

Can someone give me a hand?
So I thought it’d be cool to have these bending/martial arts comparisons on my PowerPoint presentation for my conference on Saturday, but the Photoshop I have doesn’t like animated GIFs, so I can’t take just one frame and edit. Could someone direct me to some stills of these GIFs, since Google is failing me?

widdershinsgirl: Reagan was an actor. GHWB and GWB were both the scions of a ridiculously wealthy family who had all the money they could ever want handed to them on a platter. Bill Clinton was a politician right out of college. Barack Obama is the only president in the last 30 years who has had the experience of raising a family on a middle-class income.
