c'est la vie

What made me just outright giggle at the absurdity of it all is reading about these bunkers in particular: https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-of-survival-condo-project-luxury-doomsday-shelter-2017-4 and seeing that their plan to keep the Unwashed Masses from intruding on them during the apocalypse is armed guards up on the ground patrolling the perimeter, which just illustrates the mindset of these people, they think they can buy anything, including the idea that people will voluntarily stick around and defend them once society collapses.

Sure would be terrible if someone saw this and felt motivated to break a law or two

You know that scene in Game of Thrones when Khaleesi locks Daxos in his own vault? Like that.

dogs are like i will lay down and huff sadly while staring balefully at you until you feel guilty and give me food. cats are like hey mom oh nice cereal don’t mind if i do! with their little criminal faces already in your fucking bowl

sorry the what? the what moray

Y’know, back in my day, if a pestilence swept through the land during a time of famine and flood, it meant that the reigning kings had displeased the gods and that we risked the gods’ further ire by obeying them

Then you took the king out, chopped his head off, and threw him into a bog to appease the angry gods. 

Me, wheeling my guillotine onto the White House lawn: So are we doing this or nah? 

This is the true meaning of “love makes you human” y’all

compulsory dresses for schoolgirls is not good.

Make them longer so they can run around in them and it’d be fine.

since longer dresses get unwieldy, perhaps we could split them into two dresses, one around each leg 🤔

This is my favorite advertisement. Also, a short story about sexist parenting with LEGOS. I work at a toy store that sells thousands of dollars of legos and I’ve seen time and time again parents refusing to buy blue box legos for girls and refusing to buy pink box legos for boys even when they ask for them. One girl came in with her parents and she wanted LEGO CITY because it was her birthday and they wanted to buy her gift with her at the store. [LEGO CITY is a LEGO series that lets a child build train stations, firetrucks, passenger ships, space exploration vehicles, drawbridges, garbage disposal trucks, basically anything related to the running of a city and it is not a gender based toy.] I showed them the LEGO CITY, but the mom told the child over and over “No, this is for boys you can’t get that” and eventually, she made the little girl choose a LEGO Disney Cinderella Castle instead because it was “more appropriate”. Even after I pointed out that every box has female and male LEGO people because the toy is meant for both boys and girls, she refused because it looked like a “boy” toy. I’ve had many occasions where a girl will be drawn to the LEGO CITY series only for the parents to come to me and ask  “Where are the GIRLS Legos, you know, princesses and stuff. I’m not buying her this sort of thing” and it makes me so, so, so, so, sad every time because I can already imagine the types of values in education and career choices the parents will be scolding child for wanting in the future when they aren’t even allowed to play with anything blue.  Let girls be kids without all the forced gender stereotyping, dammit. 

That last comment especially 👏🏻👏🏻

As a female architect I approve this message.

I loved LEGO when I was little, and it was an activity I enjoyed with both my sister and my two brothers. It galls me how the brand was marketed so heavily to boys in the 80s and 90s, because now those kids are adults and remember it as ‘something for boys’ and keep it away from their girls. Marketing can do damage for *generations*, not just in the immediate short term.

GENDER IN ACTION what a great fucking way of putting it

Holy shit that makes so much sense?? As some of my followers know I’ve been living in Iceland, which is infamous for apparently having been ranked as the most gender equal country in the world for over a decade now, however one thing that’s always confused me is that despite Iceland apparently being so gender equal the beauty standards seem really high here, like I know it’s hard to rank or prove things like comparing beauty standards but the beauty standards here in Iceland definitely feel noticeably worse and stricter than in other places I’ve lived like the U.S. and Finland, and I’ve always thought this was a contradiction to Iceland being apparently so high ranking in gender equality, but if there’s a phenomenon that when women gain more political and social power the patriarchy retaliates with stricter beauty standards and enforced femininity that makes so much sense and explains so much about why the beauty standards in Iceland are so high??

Thanks to whoevet made this post!!! My allergies kicking my ass right now. I got scared for a min

Male degenerates who jack it to hentai while scrolling 8chan and crying about their erectile dysfunction don’t like the tax system in every situation imaginable but they shilling for the state by reporting sex workers to the IRS for premium snapchats? Guess they’ll feel comfortable reporting their friends for selling furry porn on deviantart now.
