We are not made to be alone

why do men have this eternal fear of being used for money they don’t have lol

constantly trying to see the inherent good in people is a humiliation ritual that i continue to willingly participate in

I think it’s kinda funny when people write devils minion and daniel is great at communicating and using like therapy language with armand. daniel molloy the double divorced rude disrespectful asshole whose kids don’t speak to him? that daniel molloy?

i think telling trans men they're not men in a way that counts is heinously transphobic actually. all these people are obviously transmisogynists as well but atp i'm marking them red for their good old fashioned transphobia too

i've fought cis people who were dear to me for saying shit like this, why should i tolerate it from shitty dudes who, adding insult to injury, aren't just saying it because they're parroting the transphobic background noise of the world rn but to actively deny they benefit from transmisogyny??? fuck all the way off. i'm so tired of people on my asks telling me i should give more grace to ""my community"". these people are not my community and if i could i'd spit on every one of their faces until i died from dehydration

lol can you tell i had a bad day at work

I believe Juliana Serano's description of a subconscious sex best fits the word that the poster of the screenshoted post was trying to describe. Gender as we know it does have at least 2 distinct meanings: the social classing of gender, and ones own relationship to their body. One is inherent and can't be altered by social pressures (subconscious sex) and one is a socially imposed grouping and classing of body types (the sociopolitical class of gender). Someone arguing that trans men do not fit the sociopolitical classing of "man" because they are consistently targeted by transphobia and oppositional sexism is not incorrect, because transphobic society does not view them as men. This doesn't mean that they don't have an intrinsic relationship to their body which would be described as "man", it means that a patriarchal, transphobic, and misogynistic society does not group them into that class. To argue that trans men are consistently allowed into the sociopolitical class of men is ignoring the material reality that trans men face

Transphobic institutions and systems are not going to allow you into the sociopolitical class of your gender because sociopolitical class of gender is a system that is invested in policing natural human behaviors. Clearly trans men are men, they're barred from accessing the class of "men" because that class was designed for cis people and the patriarchy, something a transgender identity stands in opposition to.

this is so blatantly untrue and this kind of rhetoric does nothing but discourage people from transitioning. transphobia exists, but it is not an unstoppable force. you CAN socially and medically transition and (in many places in the world) legally change your sex so that the vast majority of people see you as nothing other than your new sex. stating otherwise is very much a core belief of the transphobia you claim to grieve. you are being transphobic, and you're also: getting blocked ✌️

gay men brought back 70s mustaches, lesbians brought back 80s mullets, and now straight dudes are just walking around with both thinking they stumbled onto this styling choice by accident. say the line meryl (cerulean sweater monologue but specifically about how gay culture creates taste)

do u ever see someone elses headcannon for ur fave character and its like….. i completely respect that u have the right to that headcannon, i will not confront u at all and start needless bullshit over that headcannon…. but i will silently sit here and give you the sideways glance of the century

I would just like to remind everyone that this is the mature, reasonable, and sensible response.

one out of the many things i really love about discworld is how deeply unlikable the watch is in non watch books. that might seem a strange thing to say but if you've read the books you know what im talking about. its such a simple yet effective way of showing the multitudes any organization has, but especially one that's enforcing a system or law. i mean, think about it, when reading the watch books the only people you're rooting for is the watch themselves, everyone loves sam and carrot and angua, they're all our favorites!! but when you come to face w them in other books like, say, the truth or going postal or unseen academicals, you're suddenly not as keen on them. because why are they interfering w william, who's just trying to do the right thing and why can't they just leave moist alone, who's just trying to survive (albeit by not always lawful means, but if you choose to read a terry pratchett book im sure you've already gotten over that) and why are they so distrusting of trev, who was really just trying to save his friend? well, obviously, because it's their job. and when they're doing that job in the watch books it all seems justified and necessary, but when seen through civilian eyes, they're just annoying bastards with bad case of entitlement issues. and terry MEANT for you to feel that. lets look at another example. we like william very much in his book, he hasn't got the best background but he spends the whole book and after making up for it. but when we meet him in, say, monstrous regiment, he's kinda just pretentious and posh and when moist mentions him in making money he doesn't seem to be universally liked. terry is not precious with his characters, he doesn't coddle them, and thats what makes them so real.

Sometimes I’m looking for something online - often “how to” articles - and I want to filter for - like - a website that was clearly built in 2010 at the latest, which may or may not have been updated since then, but contains a vast wealth of information on one topic, painstakingly organized by an unknown legend in the field with decades’ worth of experience. I don’t want a listicle with a nice stolen picture in a slideshow format written by a content aggregator that God forgot. I want hand-drawn diagrams by some genius professor who doesn’t understand SEO at all, but understands making stir-fries or raising stick insects better than anyone else on this earth. I don’t know what search settings to put into Google to get this.

thank you for articulating this cri de coeur for me

ngl these days i’m just happy when it’s not a video

i clicked around for a few minutes searching various things and I now have two fourteenth century pie crust recipes and an apple filling recipe i want to try, so thanks!

tl;dr: search.marginalia.nu for the old or old looking and just plain serendipitous stuff that google or Duck duck go are gonna not find/bury on the 20th page. For perfectly good reasons, but …

mozzarella and parmesan is kind of like the age gap yuri of cheese

(USAmerican trying to imagine a societal environment) Okay, so picture a highway,

inability to correctly perceive 3d objects is in fact far more dangerous when someone is driving a car next to you then when they're like, sending emails to you.
