Something that I think we need to call out more in fandoms is the blatant racism towards black female characters, especially when they are love interests. I feel that everytime there is a black female love interest, the fandom completely neglects her and rushes to ship the MC with another character that is most of the time white. And then racist fans try to hide behind “oh well I just don’t ship them!” and it’s pathetic. Adding onto this I think that a lot of ppl in fandoms try to deny/ignore that female black characters can be feminine. People try to default being black as an inherently masculine thing when not only is it not true but it is just downright racist. Let black characters be fun and feminine and let them be loved!!!

This works no matter which slice you start with

kinda confused by reporting I'm seeing saying that qween jean became the first openly trans person to win a tony award last night, because j harrison ghee and alex newell both won performing awards in 2023 while already out as nonbinary, and toby marlow (along with lucy moss) won for best score in 2022? and those are only the ones I can list off the top of my head, there may well have already been other trans tony winners. do people just mean first binary trans person? or first trans woman specifically? what's up here

okay and now I'm looking up reporting from the 2023 tony season and all the headlines are about ghee and newell being the first out nonbinary people to win tonys. comrades they may have been the first nonbinary performers but marlow won for best score the literal year prior. I think reporters might just be a little stupid.

Why is it that every time I google something like "Are olives poisonous to cats" the top results are always like "Fun fact: Cats are carnivores! This means that they eat meat. There is no reason to include olives in a cat's diet. You should feed your cat cat food, which is dry or wet food especially designed for cats. You can purchase this at a store." like is there a single person alive on the planet who's googled "Are blueberry muffins safe for cats" because they're planning on switching their cat to a muffin-only diet??? No, I'm asking because the little bastard somehow popped open the packet while I was putting away the groceries and dragged one under the couch before I could react and now I need to know if I should call the after-hours vet. "Cats should not eat spaghetti." NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!!!! "Try to keep human food away from cats." i live in a studio apartment with a completely silent and permanently hungry apex predator who has the intelligence of a toddler and the desperate Machiavellian cunning of a creature who spent his formative months on the streets. He can already open doors and he is this 👌 close to learning how to open the microwave. He is stronger than me and covered in knives. So im gonna do my best but for the moment i just need you to tell me whether this yoghurt is going to kill my son y/n

For plants specifically, there’s also a wildly detailed set of posts and listings about toxicity on the old, wonderful, Plants Are the Strangest People blog

btw if you're on this site it is your duty to reblog any post that has been prophecied to reach 10k notes. let's all annoy op

well. it's been over a month and we're not even at 1k yet, so I think I'm safe. perhaps 😌

....nate I'm really sorry I laughed at you for having posts with thousands of notes. don't do this to me

really good "shocking number of people are confidently objectively demonstrably completely wrong" poll

you have to love trans women more than you hate transmisogyny, you have to love jews more than you hate antisemitism, you have to love Black people more than you hate white supremacy, you have to love Indigenous people more than you hate colonialism, you have to love the disabled and mentally ill more than you hate ableism, you have to love. you have to love.
