wise words of the nut

t shirt that says I PUT A NORMAL AMOUNT OF THOUGHT INTO STUFF

i don’t think i’m exaggerating when i say that the average height for women in the US would increase by at least an inch if teen girls were allowed to eat as much as teen boys are

and not to bring my own clocky bitch ass into this but if cis women weren’t so consistently starved their entire lives you’d see a lot more cis women with the kind of bodies that we currently associate closely with trans women. the amount that the standards of feminine presentation are culturally defined by malnutrition is crazy

i forgot Most people are not always in the state of cowering in the corner like a scared dog. y’all just be doing stuff

Contemporary art haters will be like "i don't get it" and then not read the title or artist statement or the medium or the year or

I don't know how to articulate this well, but I really fucking hate the way a lot of thin writers write fat characters. Like how men write women "breasting boobily" there is something so dehumanizing about how fat characters are often written. "He waddled", "he lumbered", the writer of the book I'm reading always mentions this characters "fleshy hand" when he does something with his hand. Like, we already know that he's fat. There is no need to describe everything he does as "doing it fatly".

I should add - the US government STILL disproportionately targets Indigenous families for child welfare checks. ICWA is supposed to protect against this but is unevenly enforced, and there's even talk of overturning it. Protect ICWA and Indigenous children.

i think “this character has suffered their whole life, so their happy ending is dying and going to heaven 😌” is my least favorite trope right now. stop portraying death as a liberation from suffering, STOP being so fucking christian. being alive is awesome. the bad parts give way to joy and that joy is worth everything. fight for the next bit of joy and then the next and the next, and one day i promise the pain will be behind you for good. you don’t have to die

if you think showing ur kids harry potter will radicalize them u are wrong and u should just instead watch a bug’s life and chicken run. there are gays in there, even. no not “canonically,” shut up, i’m old and in my day we simply UNDERSTOOD when a chicken was a lesbian or a stick bug was a gay man with the telepathic connection between our massive gay brains like the baby geniuses. i took a benadryl

stop reblogging this post OP has a foot fetish

people seem to think you cant be a spongebob and also understand a squidward but thats not true. if anything a true spongebob is more able to understand a squidward, even if they cant specifically relateWhat the fuck am i talking about. sorry what am i talking about right now. sorry i just realized im saying some fucking bullshit right now to all of you

The reaction against fake news and misinformation went too hard in the other direction and now the populace are becoming utterly snopesbrained, unable to distinguish between an anecdotal source and a primary witness. The people think "I was there when it happened and I saw it happen with my eyes" is a less reliable source than an infotainment website.

A lot of people could benefit from realizing that the vast majority of the time, when someone says a space or resource is “AFAB only”, the thought that this might include trans men or nonbinary people who look masculine has not even remotely crossed their mind. When most people say “AFAB”, they are imagining cis women—and maybe, as an afterthought, nonbinary people that they are able to mentally categorize as basically cis women. Certainly, they never imagine someone who looks like or is a man. Any intersex person who doesn’t look like a cis woman or who didn’t experience growing up as a girl, definitely the furthest thought from their mind by a hundred miles.

"convince your followers that their Oppressor Class (whether real or imagined) is less deserving of human rights" is the oldest and most reliable trick in the book to incite mass violence, and you're not immune to it because you're a Good Person with Correct Opinions. you will continue to be a potential breeding ground for fascist thought until you stop dehumanizing people in any context, regardless of whether they deserve it or not, or how serious you are. there can be no acceptable targets.
