The thing that I find so exhausting about "if the roles were reversed" is that the roles will NEVER truly be reversed. There is too great a difference between a man doing something, his motivations, his capabilities, and a woman doing something with her motivations and capabilities. Fundamentally a woman breaking a restraining order to show up at her ex's wedding will never be the same threat as a man doing the same. Not when women commit only 10-20% of violent crimes and carry guns at half the percentage men do. Not when the average man can overpower the average woman.
A lesbian couple in their 70s bought this plate from me yesterday, and as I was wrapping it up, one of them remarked that not so long ago they couldn’t even say the word “lesbian” aloud 😭 Those women have been together for almost 40 years and for the first two decades they couldn’t even call it what it was. What a precious reminder of how far we’ve come and how much the generations before us have been through— I’m so emotional that this piece find the perfect home
Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people
please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.
Forced to stay home or switch jobs, working mothers are bearing the brunt of the climate crisis as classes go online for weeks or months at
literally 80-90% of women i talk to, when we’re alone, and i use clear language describing male and female, all agree with terf ideology. they believe in female only spaces, they believe males have male perspectives and privledge regardless of transition, they believe kids shouldnt transition, that sexuality is based on sex etc.
they only stay silent in public because trans ideology is literally a movement based on violence and fear

Okay, we got a new one, boys.
Close enough welcome back Chekov's gun.
Prev you can’t bury this in your own tags
ID: A screenshot of tags left on the tumblr post. They read "#it's actually kind of a reverse Chekhov's Gun #Chekhov's Gun says "If there is setup there must be payoff" #Asimov's Tail says "if there is payoff there must be setup" #and I think the tail is also important #a tail is not something you'd expect to see on a character unless explicitly pointed out #someone stepping on the tail not only reveals its existence but also tells us things about it #eg it's floor length sensitive and the character either can't or won't keep it out of the way of foot traffic #the upshot seems to be "acclimatise your audience to things they don't understand before you use them" #you don't need to explain how a gun on the mantelpiece works in the same way you need to explain how your protagonist's tail does" End ID.
Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
you know I never put it together that he built his platform on draining the swamp and then like went and made a swamp and now refuses to drain it
and he's now putting up a fence around it:
damn they got infinite tsukuyomi in atla?
“The Militarization of the Police Department – Deadly Farce,” an original painting by Richard Williams from “The 20 Dumbest People, Events, and Things of 2014″ in Mad magazine #531, published by DC Comics, February 2015.
Here’s the original, for comparison. And here’s a bit more about the artist and why he created the piece above for MAD Magazine.
Richard Williams on Norman Rockwell:
“For most people, he was the painter of ‘America,’” he added. “But even he said his vision was what he wanted ‘America’ to be. It was a mythical ‘America,’ a place where all people were decent, honest and full of good will. His work was full of gentle humor that made you feel a little better; even if you knew it wasn’t really true… you just wished it was. My parody of Rockwell’s painting simply says, ‘That myth is dead.’”
I think it’s relevant to add that even Norman Rockwell chose to leave his cushy job at the Saturday Evening Post because he wanted to make artwork that was more radical. The Post had rules that wouldn’t allow him to do artwork depicting black people as anything other than servants. The job paid really well and that was a huge reason he continued on. But he wanted change that and so he moved to Look magazine.
A lot of people know about the very first piece he did when he left the post which was the The Problem We All Live With which depicts Ruby Bridges walking to school under federal protection.
But I don’t think enough people know about Murder in Mississippi which depicts three real civil rights activists who were murdered by the Ku Klux Klan and sherriffs. The magazine ran the sketch instead of the finished piece because they felt it had a more striking statement to accompany the article. Norman Rockwell would finish that version after publication which is here
Rockwell’s legacy is sanitized because he decided to maintain his job at the Post for so long despite his frustrations with not being able to express himself. The civil rights movement was just his final straw to change what he could with the little time he had left. Look magazine received a lot of hate for Rockwell painting these as well.
Another favorite piece of mine is The Right to Know which depicts an integrated populace questioning their government. In 1968, the year of Vietnam and the year the Fair Housing Act only just got signed in months prior:
But I think it’s important to include the caption Rockwell originally wrote for the piece as well. I think it represents how a 74 year old Rockwell felt about the America he believed in and the people in it:
We are the governed, but we govern too. Assume our love of country, for it is only the simplest of self-love. Worry little about our strength, for we have our history to show for it. And because we are strong, there are others who have hope. But watch us more closely from now on, for those of us who stand here mean to watch those we put in the seats of power. And listen to us, you who lead, for we are listening harder for the truth that you have not always offered us. Your voice must be ours, and ours speaks of cities that are not safe, and of wars we do not want, of poor in a land of plenty, and of a world that will not take the shape our arms would give it. We are not fierce, and the truth will not frighten us. Trust us, for we have given you our trust. We are the governed, remember, but we govern too.
I’d just like to briefly say even Rockwell’s seemingly feel good Americana pieces are often more political than people today realize for example
likely the most famous picture of a Thanksgiving dinner ever painted and you see it all the time.
What you may not know is its actual title
“Freedom From Want” it’s a part of a series of 4, including this now famous meme
“Freedom of Speech” These paintings were illustrations of FDR’s “Four Freedoms” speech where The President laid out a vision that would become what the Allies were fighting for in WWII universal human rights that became a part of the UN charter.
So this homey American Thanksgiving scene was also a bold statement that no one in the world should go hungry
Rockwell’s work was very political, he used that Americana small town America vibe of his work to make what he was saying feel very close to the viewers he was trying to reach and also his optimism of the human spirt but for sure not blind to the need to build a better world.

i like that sokka fights with a boomerang
every day there's a new six million foot data center being fought against in a new place. why the fuck do we need so many. this feels like a pyramid scheme lol. "invest in our data center in order for us to make more software that needs MORE and BIGGER data centers. then you can invest in the software and the bigger data center, and then we can make more software that needs MORE and BIGGERER data centers" like is the earth not the real place to these people. is it the internet and where the digital money is stored? why don't you just live with slow ai meme generators
a not insignificant reason for the trillion dollar valuation of spacex is that they promise to built data centres in space, something which is not even theoretically possible right now, much less practically feasible. but the stock market is still so keen on data centres that they made elon musk a trillionaire for promising data centres in space when they can't put more on earth.
that one post or tweet that was like "stock market is just astrology for men" is probably the most important insight of the 21st century
btw if you call a woman a bitch i literally don’t give a fuck what she did, you’re being misogynistic. that doesn’t mean i don’t think what she did was wrong - it means she’s wrong and also, you’re misogynistic. if literal hitler were black or asian or gay etc i wouldn’t call him racial/homophobic slurs.
she could literally be the worst woman in the world, but if she were male, you wouldn’t have called her a bitch. there is no “i don’t normally call women this but she’s being a bitch”. you wanted to target and insult her femaleness specifically. her sex is inherently linked with your insult. that makes you misogynistic, flinging an insult based on someone’s sex.
also, if you call a man a bitch, you are degrading him on the basis of being comparable to a woman. it implies to be [female-aimed slur] is particularly degrading. you are also a misogynist for that.
i don’t give a fuck who you are or what the argument is about, the second you drop a misogynistic slur on a woman, i’m noting you down as a misogynist.
they're still arguing about surrogacy on twitter
the reason surrogacy warrants particular scrutiny, aside the fact that its roots are literally chattel slavery lol, is that it is a contractual arrangement premised on the basically total surrender of bodily autonomy. it transforms a human body into a site of continuous, high risk labor with consequences that cannot be paused or meaningfully mitigated
can a surrogate safely "quit" in any real sense? can they safely get an abortion? can they quit after 4 months? can they quit after 9 months? do they get to clock out after 40 hours a week? do they get breaks? do they get a union?
in what world is it a leftist position to defend 24/7 labor
its awesome that the mtf character in tаdc is an antisocial violent self involved sadist incapable of belonging to a community who constantly sabotages the efforts of his would-be comrades to escape their oppression by an evil system for short-sighted emotionally immature reasons
BTW i love this show and it is a masterpiece of the millennial generation that perfectly encapsulates their predicament
