dating men in NYC is awesome bc it’s so local whereas queer dating is a lot of chicks from ohio. But in straight dating my parent’s hometown is heavily represented and I’m like “it’s the worst town in America but the food is unreal” and they’re all like “how did your distill x town to it’s essence” and I’m like “The Soprano’s”

I am actually actively dating a communist from the town next to where my parents grew up and he is Jewish instead of Catholic (real nyers know that makes us cousins) but also I constantly have to call my therapist bc his family is so healthy but also so similar to mine but if they were not evil.

parenti is incredible highkey

Yeah you're not gonna win against a country that's built around attrition. You cannot bomb away the leverage Iran has over Hormuz

There's a lot of noise about this MOU but the big takeaway is that Iran took a theoretical deterrent and turned it into a real bargaining instrument. We will know the terms soon enough but even if this MOU collapsed tomorrow, this war has left the world with a new reality. If we want global energy stability we need to cooperate with Iran.

it's a cliché by now but there's only so much history you can learn before you either become a Marxist or a liar. there's a reason that so much of liberal propaganda is explaining prejudice as a mysterious personal failing, and poverty as a not so mysterious personal failing, while so much of Marxist propaganda is explaining that both these things result from systems of exploitation that we can demonstrate through research and data

tumblr is ground zero for something i like to call soft mens right’s activism (or uwu mra) and it makes me want to tear my hair out

the main thing to understand about fandom women is that most of them are so sheltered and isolated irl that when someone says "men" they think of fictional characters and not actual men
