and different fields of science have different conventions and definitions for their unique contexts

every political scandal has to be called ____gate now because 54 years ago a guy named blowjob told reporters there were bugs in the democrat offices

a few weeks ago i was thinking about how online there's always some discourse cycle or other where people go "everyone does/should/can do XYZ and if you don't you're a bad person / whatever other negative statement" and a disabled person says "i actually can't do that because i'm disabled" and everyone goes "look at this loser! bean soup theory proven again! nobody was thinking about disabled people this obviously isn't about you." which, aside from the fact that, well, yes, the fact that nobody was thinking about disabled people is part of the problem. the thing is is that disabled people also consider ourselves part of "everyone." on account of disabled people are also people, and thus fit into the category that means "every person." and this applies to a lot of other groups as well ofc. i've just been thinking about it recently like. is it really a "bean soup theory" moment or did somebody just (correctly) assume they are a part of "everybody"

imo the way you feel about groups it's fully socially acceptable to hate (like children or polyamorous people, among others) is the canary in the coal mine for underlying bigoted beliefs. if you're only supportive of marginalized groups when it's cool to do so, probably you don't actually care about marginalized groups, you care about other people thinking you care

there are 1 trillion people in the notes of this post saying "yeah! i mean i hate kids but they should have rights!" you hate kids? you mean you hate all members of an oppressed group solely for their membership in this group? right. why do you hate them? because they can't take care of themselves and need help? because they don't understand social norms and can be "annoying" and disrespect boundaries as a result? because they can be messy? because they don't understand things in the same way as you do? that's awesome. how do you feel about disabled people btw

To be quite honest with you all I do think that aro/ace-spectrum fans in fandoms where people are desperately inventing crossover ships and humanizing non-human characters in order to have a conventionally attractive guy to ship the main character with, instead of possibly having to enjoy a story with no romance in it, have the right to refer to everyone else as cowards.

Love character relationships that can only be described as "whatever the fuck these two have going on"

reblogging a funny low note count textpost on your dash made by your mutual's mutual kinda feels like walking up to two strangers on the street and laughing loudly at their joke
