Don't let the bastards get you down

I think if we keep encouraging Tumblr YA comedy-fantasy authors we can really put a dent in the idea that it's possible for writing to be good

when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.

Honestly everytime he does something like this the sewer scene in IT unfortunately makes more and more sense

the man got his start writing for playboy. and you can tell

Aphrodite wants you to love your female body

This goes for trans women, too, even if OP is a terf. ❤️

Men can’t have female bodies. And you dont get to say who my post is for

I meant the stimulation of it. Jesus Christ. Calm down. I’m literally an employee in a hospital, but sure. Okay. Whatever you say.

They absolutely mark you down as having a mental illness

Touching your dirty ass phone for a selfie when ur supposed to be trying to keep things sterile?

employee in a hospital != doctor. mazel tov on being an orderly or whatever.

Members of the pro-trans crowd working in medical fields… or having jobs at all should make you really uncomfortable. It’s like having an anti-vaxxer as your doctor.

I’m absolutely howling @ “employee in a hospital” @andrewtheconfusedmemefuck you know you’re in a position that gives you absolute jack shit insight into the debate or else you would’ve specified what you actually are. my guess is unlicensed nursing assistant lmao. go check my patients’ blood sugars kid

WOWOWOWOWOWOW

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF

LOL

F

a garbage man lmfao im screaming

Nothing against janitors, but with this one? Jesus Christ lmaoooo

crazy how this all started because of the mere mention of the phrase “female body”

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.

out of all the famous rapists that nobody talks abt the 1 thats annoying me the most rn is neil degrasse tyson did you know that when he was in graduate school for astronomy he drugged and raped the only other black student in the department & she ended up quitting the field ? if you look at her instagram 1 of her stories highlights is called sexual assault & she says she does miss being a scientist & working on her research project but that shes glad shes a musician now. shes also into some weird spirituality stuff which puts neils reddit atheist shtick into a whole new perspective ...... he has 3 more allegations under his belt btw & 2 of those women are scientists themselves & the other 1 quit working on his fucken astronomy documentary series bc of him like i genuinely do not understand how he still gets to call himself a science educator & brag abt how hes getting more people interested in astronomy when he keeps sexually assaulting scientists & 2 people have already quit the field because of him like explain it to me like im five

I’ll never forget when I was arguing with a person in favor of total prison abolition and I asked them “what about violent offenders?” And they said “Well, in a world where prisons have been abolished, we’ll have leveled the playing field and everyone will have their basic needs met, and crime won’t be as much of an issue.” And then I was like “okay. But…no. Because rich people also rape and murder, so it isn’t just a poor person thing. So what will we do about that?” And I don’t think they answered me after that. I’m ashamed to say I continued to think that the problem was that I simply didn’t understand prison abolitionists enough and that their point was right in front of me, and it would click once I finally let myself understand it. It took me a long time to realize that if something is going to make sense, it needs to make sense. If you want to turn theory into Praxis (I’m using that word right don’t correct me I’ll vomit) everyone needs to be on board, which mean it all needs to click and it needs to click fast and fucking clear. You need to turn a complex idea into something both digestible and flexible enough to be expanded upon. Every time I ask a prison abolitionist what they actually intend to do about violent crime, I get directed to a summer reading list and a BreadTuber. It’s like a sleight-of-hand trick. Where’s the answer to my question. There it is. No wait, there it is. It’s under this cup. No it isn’t. “There’s theory that can explain this better than I can.” As if most theory isn’t just a collection of essays meant to be absorbed and discussed by academics, not the average skeptic. “Read this book.” And the book won’t even answer the question. The book tells you to go ask someone else. “Oh, watch this so-and-so, she totally explains it better than me.” Why can’t you explain it at all? Why did you even bring it up if you were going to point me to someone else to give me the basics that you should probably already know? Maybe I’m just one of those crazy people who thinks that some people need to be kept away from the public for everyone’s good. Maybe that just makes me insane. Maybe not believing that pervasive systemic misogyny could be solved with a UBI and a prayer circle makes me a bad guy. But it’s not like women’s safety is a priority anyway. It’s not like there is an objective claim to be made that re-releasing violent offenders or simply not locking them up is deadly.

Tbh if you believe there are ontologically bad people there's never going to be an answer to prison abolition that satisfies you.

Prisons abolitionists really are like "prisons causes harm that's why we should do my solution : mob lynching" and expect to be taken seriously

Prison abolitionists really say "we piss on the poor!" and expect to be taken seriously

You are aware that Star Trek is fiction, correct?

women will describe the most unempathetic, uncaring, detached behavior from their boyfriends and then be like "idk should i say something to him?" like babe i think you should kill him

Like either way I do hope he is never seen or heard from ever again

Why is it that every time I google something like "Are olives poisonous to cats" the top results are always like "Fun fact: Cats are carnivores! This means that they eat meat. There is no reason to include olives in a cat's diet. You should feed your cat cat food, which is dry or wet food especially designed for cats. You can purchase this at a store." like is there a single person alive on the planet who's googled "Are blueberry muffins safe for cats" because they're planning on switching their cat to a muffin-only diet??? No, I'm asking because the little bastard somehow popped open the packet while I was putting away the groceries and dragged one under the couch before I could react and now I need to know if I should call the after-hours vet. "Cats should not eat spaghetti." NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!!!! "Try to keep human food away from cats." i live in a studio apartment with a completely silent and permanently hungry apex predator who has the intelligence of a toddler and the desperate Machiavellian cunning of a creature who spent his formative months on the streets. He can already open doors and he is this 👌 close to learning how to open the microwave. He is stronger than me and covered in knives. So im gonna do my best but for the moment i just need you to tell me whether this yoghurt is going to kill my son y/n

For plants specifically, there’s also a wildly detailed set of posts and listings about toxicity on the old, wonderful, Plants Are the Strangest People blog
