kitten all wrapped in cement

I think if your worldview relies on the unquestioned assumption that most people suck you're like. how do I put this kindly. philosophically you've maybe never moved past the mindset of a socially uncomfortable seventh grader.

Like I wonder if maybe these women have something else in common besides being rich? Maybe something like being in the public eye 24/7 and having 1000000000000 people a day comment on their bodies in public forums where everyone including them can see and hear it??

Sorry I'm not done. We are really at the "women developing anorexia is actually Another Way To Oppress You" level of backlash to feminism and "every single thing on earth is about Marxism" type discourse on the internet now? Really? Women are developing anorexia, a deadly disease that fucks up your organs forever and slashes decades off your life, to Show Off How Capitalist They Are and oppress you? And this is a take coming from "innerchildabortionclinic." Something something the reason abortion is the only serious feminist issue the left still likes to talk about has everything to do with being perceived as "edgy" and absolutely NOTHING to do with women's rights or bodily autonomy or seeing women as human beings, as is I think made VERY evident by this "hot take" by "innerchildabortionclinic" that women develop anorexia on purpose to show off how rich they are and oppress you. God all fucking mighty crawl back into Hot Topic and leave sick women the hell alone!!!

starklings modern au. the eras tour is coming to westeros. sansa stark needs to see taylor swift perform "love story" in person or she'll die (that's what she tells ned). the money is no issue the starks can obviously afford the vip tickets for sansa. and jeyne. ("i CAN'T see taylor swift without jeyne, dad! i can't sing along to the songs alone, that's embarrassing!" "won't there be hundreds of people there?" "but jeyne is different! she's my best friend in the whole world, dad! we already made matching bracelets with the lyrics, see?"). the real issue is who is going to chaperon. robb is the obvious answer (eldest sibling curse), but he has the college entrance exams in like a month and he's kind of losing his mind, so we have to count him out. the next option is jon who is not taking the college entrance exams this year because he thought taking a sabbatical working at the former-penal-colony-now-reformed-museum that the stark family owns at the edge of the world was a good idea. jon is an emo teenager that hates taylor swift but he agrees to chaperon if his friend sam from the former-penal-colony-now-reformed-museum who actually likes taylor swift can come. so. four tickets. perfectly affordable for the starks. ned is happy. catelyn is not. she doesn't think jon is responsible enough. she needs another trusted young adult. that's when theon walks through the door. he doesn't live there but he's always in their house for some reason. coming out of nowhere with the smile of an asshole to ruin ned's morning coffee by saying: "you can't trust snow to watch the girls if his gay ass boyfriend is there to distract him." "sam is NOT gay, asshole" says jon with loyalty. nobody believes him. "all men who like taylor swift are gay" theon pronounces gay like a slur because catelyn is present and he can't say a slur for real. "but don't worry, mrs stark, i can watch the kids" he winks and catelyn considers blowing up the whole house. "you only want to go because you like taylor swift too" says arya from under the table where she's carving the wood with a kitchen knife. she knows sansa forced theon to listen to the reputation album till he admitted he liked it. "i do not!" says theon, who does likes taylor swift but also tries to go through life with the attitude of an homophobic red pilled alpha male who is NOT gay. "sam is not my boyfriend! we are not gay!" says jon again, suddenly and unnecessarily. nobody believes him. in the end, catelyn turns to the only young adult she can fully trust. and that's how sansa, jeyne, jon, sam, theon and brienne end up going to the eras tour.

the thing about "no one is talking about this!" posts is that at best they are weird guilt trips trying to make you feel personally responsible for the fact that you haven't heard about one specific thing happening that no one has mentioned to you. at worst they are just wrong because the op turns out to have no idea what people are talking about because they've never listened to another person in their life. either way I am not reblogging that

actually I think you should be normal about ordinary citizens of authoritarian countries and yes that applies even to that country you're thinking of right now

"but they support [dictator] and [violent action]!" okay is it possible that a combination of propaganda, election rigging, and authoritarian crackdowns on dissent could lead a population to look like it supports something most people would find distasteful under more reasonable circumstances

finally, someone else giving some love to the much-slept-on bicycle suit.

I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I’d probably believe they were sick.

“Slutantions” has me crying laughing

THE SUBJECT LINE IS THE BEST PART JSJFJSJDJS JUST IMAGINE GETTING AN EMAIL WITH NO CONTEXT OTHER THAN “OW”

As someone who has taught college, please send those emails because 1) We WILL believe that; no one would write that on purpose and 2) we need a laugh sometimes.

On the other side of this, once after getting taken to the ER by ambulance, I got an email from the professor whose class I’d passed out in, and the message had no text, just the subject line “you good?”

Reblogging for the last addition

I laugh myself hoarse every time this post comes around, so here it is again.

Once emailed a professor from my hospital bed high on painkillers after a really bad car crash which my heart actually stopped the email “Dead cant class sory”

what is time but an endless all consuming miasma of void ,?

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.
