canadians smh

this was a journey from the beginning

Oh Oh

I wonder when exactly it was that Star Trek stopped being perceived as light, fluffy, not-really-legitimate sci fi that ~housewives~ liked and started being seen as serious nerd business that girls had to keep their gross cooties off. 

Also when did the Beatles start to be remembered as rock legends rather than a silly boy band teenaged girls liked?

When men decided they liked them.

this is seriously exactly how it happened. Women were actually the first rock and roll ‘critics’ because they would write in to women’s papers and magazines to share and discuss what their kids were listening to when men still thought it was trashy teeny bopper music. once it became a lucrative, mainstream genre men shoved women out of the space. Men also tend to be gatekeepers once they move into formerly female spaces - early trek fandom was incredibly open and inclusive; women would set up fan get togethers in their own houses to discuss the show or invite the actors to visit before conventions became a thing, and then were huge in organizing the first conventions - but now the stereotype of a trekkie is a nerdy white dude who scoffs derisively at casual fans and newbies with his encyclopedic and pedantic knowledge of trek

I propose we call this “mentrification”

YES

Mentrification. Yes. 

I love this…!!!

I dont have anxiety but this is still really helpful!!

cat hate is just so…….. embarrassing

people who hate cats for being “cold” or “mean” never learned emotional intelligence or depth and think that love is only expressed by being submissive and unconditionally obedient

@yall dog obsessed bitches

this is part of why it’s “weird” for a man to have cats or even like cats. and also why cats are feminized and seen as catty no matter what they do. like humans will project onto the cat based on harmful stereotypes they’ve internalized about women and femininity. one time my cousin was like, “ooooh look how she [my grey cat] jumped in that chair she’s like, “i don’t care what you say”. “ and that was 100% not what was happening. the cat likes the chair. stop it.

I like how the shadows move like things do when you’re watching them go by while you’re on the train. That’s neat as fuck.

Plane tickets almost always do this!

alternatively: avoid all this headache by using incognito when shopping for plane tickets, text books, etc

Hotel rooms are notorious for this, as well. Just like, go on incognito mode to look at these sites, saves u a lot of time & hassle.

Bruh I ain’t never know dis thank you man

Plane tickets are also much more expensive if you look from your smartphone! I think this applies to a lot of other stuff too. So always use your computer to check for prices, not smartphone! Laptop is also more expensive than on computer!

Hey why is this a thing

BECAUSE CAPITALISM.
