Yesterday, I was at dinner with some friends and briefly forgot Harrison Ford’s name, but I was like, “His name is a president and a car,” which is how we got such acceptable alternatives as McKinley Camry, Van Buren Gremlin, Clinton Infinity, and Range Rover Cleveland.

So what I think is that there's this default belief in patriarchy that men are superior to women and therefore the "masculine" sphere is superior to the "feminine" sphere. And so, as feminists have fought to expand the number of allowable female activities, men (on the aggregate over generations) have retreated from those activities because they're now seen as "feminine", and so partaking in them is incommensurate with their belief in their own superiority. And, unfortunately, as this has progressed, this has resulted in a lot of men sectioning themselves off from, frankly, everything that actually makes being alive worthwhile. It's a misery spiral, and the only way out is to abandon male supremacy.

#more women in higher education meaning fewer men is incredibly depressing to me. funny in a sad way#what happens when women will finally get into trades? will they just stop working

Matilda is a crazy book cause it starts out like ‘this little girl was super smart and loved to read :) and sometimes she used her smarts to play pranks on her shitty family :)’ and you’re like ‘wow good for her!! i hope her life gets easier once she starts going to school’ and then she starts going to school and develops telekinetic superpowers via emotional dysregulation that she subsequently uses to psychologically torment her principal into confessing that she murdered her brother-in-law and made it look like a suicide in order to seize control of her niece’s trust fund. And then Matilda’s entire family has to flee the country because it turns out her dad has been stealing cars and they’re all being hunted by the FBI

i need crossword puzzles to stop giving me sports clues. dont ask me about football stars and nba championships and baseball team names. im the kind of nerd who chooses to do crossword puzzles why would you expect this of me. cruel and unusual.

I can't get over how he just grabs her head and shakes while she plays kazoo to make the opening trill to the mission impossible theme

if christopher nolan was really the visionary and ground-breaking director everyone claims he is he would have cast ben affleck as penelope

i had a 4 hour drive today so i put on the revenge of the sith audiobook and the part where palpatine tells anakin to kill dooku came on right around the time that i saw a cybertruck and for a brief and beautiful moment when he said "do it" i had the urge to ram my honda full on into that shitty ass car

everyone who says that anakin’s fall in that movie was too sudden has never been so angry at an Elon dickrider trying to cut in front of you at a traffic standstill while a droning, pleasant British voice tells you that murder is okay and necessary. I’m sorry guys but I would have folded too

harrow is aware she is only attracted to women but is also a nun married to The Virgin Mary so she regards the idea of being in a relationship with a real human woman with almost as much fear and trepidation as she does the idea of being in a relationship with a real human man. gideon is firmly under the impression that no one has ever been attracted to men ever, not even once, not even to the nice ones, not even by accident. nona is fairly unfazed by the idea of men being sexually interested in her but personally she's mostly into women and/or flowers. ianthe is definitely into women but she might be willing to have a go with a guy as long as a) it was politically advantageous to her and b) he didn't enjoy it that much. camilla is ace in that "has replaced her desire for sexual intimacy with something Worse" kind of way. corona is bi but that on its own would simply be too easy for her so additionally she's unrequitedsexual. palamedes likes women so much that it loops back around into most people initially thinking he's gay. not all of the lyctoral squad were bi to start with but they sure were by the myriadic year of our lord. ortus is a unicorn.

What you just said about Palamedes is what happened my whole life until I transitioned

nods. paul.
