Bro was fucked from the start tbh. If you've ever attended a pro-eugenics orthodox Zionist temple, you'd know the level of brainwashing these people go through to make them all believe they are uniquely incapable of evil. Add typical birthday boy rhetoric on top of it and there's no way any maybe I'm not perfect" viewpoints are ever going to happen

it is amazing to watch a President of the United States do so much to destroy the American empire almost entirely by accident/as an untintentional consequence of his scamming, shitposting, poor moral character, violent temper, and total lack of impulse control. like. what can I compare him to? Jackson might have been an amoral sadistic sociopath but he was capable of goal oriented behavior

Our perfectly functional and entirely non self contradictory state with no history of wholly independent fuck ups would never plunge itself into the shitheap out of its own volition. It must've been the smarmy Ruskies who somehow wormed a sleeper agent into the highest office of the most powerful country in the world

I think the biggest problem with Tumblr discourse around "propaganda" is that Tumblr crackers internally define "propaganda" as "nonwhites (yes including Russians) engaging in political speech that I disagree with" and nothing else

i appreciate that "do it scared" is something that exists as a phrase and it has personally helped me a lot. however we must understand the difference between scared as in "i'm nervous meeting new people/what if i fail" and Scared as in "i might get hatecrimed"

"do it scared" to someone nervous about trying painting for the first time is reasonable if trite, "do it scared" to someone talking about how they feel they can't exist in public without potentially getting murdered makes you sound like a massive prick.

while we’re at it “everywhere should have a bench” everywhere should also have a bubbler ☝️

this isnt a vague about anything or anyone in particular (more of a pattern recognition thing), but i think like labeling things as being "not racist" or "not misogynistic", while well intentioned, closes off a dialogue between the work itself, the audience, and the creator(s). like even if you have a work that is devoid of bigotry (which even if its true today, people in the future may view it differently) its still worth examining and having conversations about it. also, i think it like severely limits the scope and reduces the ability for improvement or nuance. alas!

nothing more embarrassing than holding a blonde man dear in your thoughts. you were supposed to be the enemy.

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

can we bring back the term "fair-weather friend" bc I feel like if fair-weather friends got called that more this whole argument about whether or not you should be there for your friends when it's inconvenient/at what point of personal inconvenience it's ok to bail on your friends would kinda fall apart bc like. we literally have a word for "friend who's only there when you don't need something from them" because the baseline expectation is that a friend should be there even when it sucks. like we used to make fun of people for bailing on their friends.

Man I miss free the nipple. Its getting warmer and we don’t even have free the nipple anymore

And like I genuinely am loath to negatively discuss women’s bodies online and I think the way that famous women’s bodies are up for discussion online and in the press is upsetting and dehumanising and I feel a lot of compassion for women who are struggling with eating disorders and body image issues in the public eye however the fucking mass weight loss happening to all famous women either through eating disorders or weight loss medication cannot just go uncommented on. Nearly every single famous woman got skeletal overnight and it is so incredibly worrying both for them and for what it signals to other women and girls about how they should look.
