ooooojhhh i hate how Europeans think they're not just as racist as USAmericans, they have such a holier-than-thou attitude about it all. As if they don't have such harsh views about the Romani people. Or just as racist views against immigration as the US. Or a staunch hatred against Muslims. Or even a weird hatred against white Mediterraneans who are just a liiitttle tanner than an someone in Norway or some shit

health isn't a virtue.

people still go around acting like they've done something good in order to be able bodied and healthy. that they worked for it, that it's due to their moral fibre or good upbringing or self control. they genuinely, on some level, believe that they are a good person solely based on the strength of their physical abilities. they will resist the fact that it is largely down to chance that they were able to maintain such health. whatever they think they've built from scratch, the building blocks were already handed to them. not because they're more worthy of it, just by luck. and they really think they're worth more based on that sheer luck. i've met disabled people worth a hundred of the healthiest ableds alive.

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.

what companies who sell you anti aging stuff don't want you to know is that if you're chill about aging, your perception of attractiveness changes as you get older. there is no "wall" where you suddenly become ugly and unfuckable because in my experience what actually happens is you get into your thirties and suddenly realize that people in their thirties are hot as fuck and the "flaws" that the beauty industry wants you to panic about are a feature not a bug, and based on the std statistics in nursing homes I don't really expect that trajectory to change.

ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever? Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me

many people in these notes are revealing how they truly don't believe afab people are capable of beating amab people at Any sports due to their fragile bird bones delicate skin and and trying to make it seem like i'm feeding afab people to lions in the coliseum. you people are not only wrong but more importantly you are Stupidt

people are so weird about feet

there are people with foot fetishes and there are people who cannot see any depiction of bare feet without assuming it's a foot fetish thing, and the second category is the one that feels more perverse

it's such a bizarre form of conservative sexuality that it makes me realize how Victorian ankle enticement became a thing. people are so staunchly against sexualization that something being sexualized is a negative fact of its own

Also on age verification: I have been on this website since 2011. Unless you think I started blogging at age 2, you KNOW I'm an adult.

I’m so pro abortion I feel insane hearing any other take on it

Even lefties I know will eventually concede to some situation where they think it’s right to force someone to carry a child against their will as if that’s not one of the most inhumane and cruel situations to put someone in regardless of any other factors

Happy Smallpox Eradication Day

I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping

Also STOP VAPING INDOORS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. Holy shit, if you're gonna wreck your lungs at least give me the option not to wreck mine.

yeah okay ill reblog that

Please I’m begging yall as an asthmatic, your fruit-flavored vapor will still give people around you who are smoke-sensitive attacks. So will weed. Don’t do it inside; if you’re at a bus stop or something try to not stand right next to people or move downwind of them if you can.

"can't believe Hungary is celebrating a centrist-conservative" low-key choke on your tongue, you have no idea about what the status of the left here is (non fucking existent for complicated reasons) so yes, we will take one fucking step back towards the center after a far-right asshole, thanks!!!!!!!

"there's no left-wing party in the hungarian parliament" okay so we didn't have a minister of health. did you know that? no minister of education either. since 2010, yeah. we have, like, maybe three independent press outlets. they've continuously extended the emergency rule of law thats been in effect since 2020, allowing orbán to rule by decree. if he had won again we would have been kicked out of the eu and the country's already struggling economy would have collapsed like a house of cards. i can empathize with my fellow hungarians having mixed feelings about a right leaning centrist with allegations of dv still hanging over his head but everyone else should shut up foreverrrr

You can’t Abstain your way to a Better World.

Government is a thing we made up and is really just a professional, standardized form of Collective Community Support, when piloted properly. That said, when living in an Empire, for the sake of one’s sanity it is indeed very useful to focus less on Big Picture stuff that you probably lack the financial or political capital to tackle properly, and instead focus more on addressable, municipal concerns, as @ziggy-scardust points out above. Very healthy use of that impulse.

nobody ever believes me when I list off all of the ways that humans are significantly less sexually dimorphic than people seem to believe and it drives me batshit insane. “you’re denying the biological reality of sex” well you’re sticking your fingers in your ears and saying lalalala every time anyone presents you with data that confirms that women and men aren’t really that different. and refusing to come to terms with the two-way relationship between the “biological” and “social” worlds. I think one of us is ignoring the biological sciences here and it isn’t me

we can’t be doing both parties are the same when one party eliminated the confederate nationalist tax break closed the 150 million school funding deficit and is currently raising the minimum wage and the other one made it illegal to teach real history and opened a tipline for kids to try and get me fired for being too woke by saying slavery was bad

There’s only one southern state where abortion is still legal. it’s the only one run by democrats.
