What Fools These Mortals Be

sometimes it genuinely feels like other people don't remember being children. "omg if a 13 year old is looking at porn there is something deeply wrong 😨 they shouldn't even be thinking about sex!!" they are going through puberty and their hormones are going crazy. do you remember being 13 years old.

dick screaming at bruce whenever the man is suicidal and self-sacrificing is a level of pot meet kettle no other relationship has been able to replicate. absolutely incredible levels of hypocrisy

AND TONNES OF THEM ARE MINCÉIRS!!!!! PRIDE FOR OUR SIBLINGS ON THE TOBER!!!!

AND TONNES OF THEM ARE (turns around and translates: Irish, an lucht siúil ("the walking people"), also known by outsiders, more frequently in the USA, as Irish Travellers; often written down in UK/IRE as the Pavee; indigenous travelling people of the British Isles, NOT ROMANI, part of the ethnic Travelling community - need not be actively travelling to identify) MINCÉIRS. WHO also form a huge number of the exercise riders and grooms of Ireland and the UK, operating under harsh and poorly paid working conditions. Remember that jockeys are athletes who are classified around the world as freelance agricultural workers, whose phenomenal horse skills and willingness to risk their lives do not negate a four-hundred-year-long history of invisibility; snatched up by rich owners for being small and horse-gifted; occasionally winning great glory. And remember the grooms and exercise riders and stable staff - referred to as Lads and sometimes as Lasses or perhaps Stable People - upon whose strength a multibillionpound Sport of Royalty and Billionaires is built. It is VERY common for them to be marginalised by ethnicity as well.

do you know how much of a letdown it was to grow up smelling the aged whiskey in my grandpa's pantry. the wine in my parents' dinner glasses. the anise liquor on summer evenings. and finally being of drinking age and finding out it all kinda just tastes like car exhaust

The Lancet link about shift to PMOS. Spread this to everyone who works in health care now. People with uteruses and ovaries are in agony - yes, the whole body suffers a crisis every fkn month - and health care should help

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas

People will be like “this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship” and then you watch the movie in question and it’s about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively

“Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good” so we would have this conversation….

breaking my silence. it is insane that a marriage is more celebrated than earning a degree.

I should be able to tell my boss “hey the united states government is threatening to kill ‘radical transgender activists’, and while I think that’s partly a toothless threat made by floundering clowns it’s still kind of stressful and depressing, do you mind if I work from home after lunch”
