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 

Okay let me tell you some shit about Orcas I found out while doing a report on them

Orcas are smart ass mother fuckers. In the wild they hunt fish in pods so they can create a net of bubbles to capture fish and then eat them. They also hunt in pods so they can create waves to knock seals off of ice flows. Orcas are so smart they form societies based on their ancestry so they can care for their young and survive.The entire ocean is full of orcas that are smart enough to distinguish between humans and actual prey. And I know this because ORCAS HAVE NEVER KILLED HUMANS IN THE WILD. NEVER. THESE ANIMALS ARE SO SMART THEY KNOW AFTER A QUICK GLANCE THAT “HEY THAT’S NOT A SEAL. THAT’S NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO EAT, IT’S A GROSS HUMAN” 

GUESS WHAT ELSE, MOTHERFUCKER? THE ONLY KNOWN DEATHS FROM ORCA ATTACKS HAVE BEEN IN CAPTIVITY. 

WE HUMANS TOOK THESE MAGNIFICENT CREATURES FROM THEIR HOMES AND PUT THEM IN THE EQUIVALENT OF A BATHTUB AND THEN WE GET UPSET WHEN THEY ATTACK US. IT’S NOT THE WHALES FAULT.

AND YOU KNOW THOSE “CUTESY” FLOPPED OVER FINS? THAT’S ACTUALLY CAUSED BY THE TANKS BEING SO SHALLOW AND ROUND. IN THE WILD ORCAS CAN GO THOUSANDS OF FEET DEEP AND THE WATER PRESSURE IS WHAT KEEPS THE FINS UP, BUT IN THE TANKS THE WHALE IS STUCK SWIMMING IN A CIRCLE SO IT DEVELOPS A CRIPPLED FIN. 

SO DON’T EVER TELL ME WHALES IN CAPTIVITY IS A GOOD THING, BECAUSE YOU’RE WRONG MOTHERFUCKER.

SOURCES SO YOU CAN VERIFY THAT THIS SHIT IS TRUE.

Best goddam thing I’ve ever read

I’m…. Casually going on over 36,000 notes guys….

edgebug: my-vagina-has-teeth: mrthorinton: spectacularlyignorant: weepingmanhattan: the-fandoms-are-cool: pockettimelord: “you are not alone” are you telling me Mary Poppins is a Time Lady because headcanon accepted She owns a sonic umbrella. not to mention her carpetbag is BIGGER ON THE INSIDE what if she’s doctor’s last regeneration Still not ginger. This is her last regeneration. She can feel it in her bones. The Earth is safe, as is the rest of the universe, as safe as she can get it. She is nearing three thousand years old and has seen so much, done so many things, and yet none of it jades her. She has little power left. Doesn’t have quite as much energy as she did when she was younger, traipsing through time and space with a pretty young thing at her side. She decides to spend her final life on Earth. “What do you mean, this is the end?” Bert asks, tilting his head. He’s seen a lot of things with her. He’s done much, he’s killed the last Dalek and faced down Cybermen. “It’s time for me to retire, Bert,” she says gently, “and Earth is the place for me.” “Does this mean you’re going to stop… saving the world?” He asks, brow furrowed. “Oh, of course not,” she replies with a wave of her hand. “I’ll be saving it all the time, in very small ways. But the main property of small things is that when they add up, they grow into big things. And you, Bert, you fantastic man, you’re going to be my companion.” They settle together on the pseudonym “Mary Poppins.” It’s strangely common, like the word “doctor,” and oddly unique, like the Doctor herself. The pseudonym was necessary. Parents don’t often hire nannies who only go by “Doctor.”

“you are not alone”

She owns a sonic umbrella.

not to mention her carpetbag is BIGGER ON THE INSIDE

what if she’s doctor’s last regeneration

Still not ginger.

This is her last regeneration. She can feel it in her bones.

The Earth is safe, as is the rest of the universe, as safe as she can get it. She is nearing three thousand years old and has seen so much, done so many things, and yet none of it jades her.

She has little power left. Doesn’t have quite as much energy as she did when she was younger, traipsing through time and space with a pretty young thing at her side.

She decides to spend her final life on Earth.

“What do you mean, this is the end?” Bert asks, tilting his head. He’s seen a lot of things with her. He’s done much, he’s killed the last Dalek and faced down Cybermen.

“It’s time for me to retire, Bert,” she says gently, “and Earth is the place for me.”

“Does this mean you’re going to stop… saving the world?” He asks, brow furrowed.

“Oh, of course not,” she replies with a wave of her hand. “I’ll be saving it all the time, in very small ways. But the main property of small things is that when they add up, they grow into big things. And you, Bert, you fantastic man, you’re going to be my companion.”
