gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

So exhausting how the mainstream American news media will be like “Resurfaced tweet shows this progressive Democratic candidate tweeted ‘shut up cunt’ in response to a Nazi when they were 17 years old. This troubling misogyny and censorship shows the hypocrisy and inconsistency of the Democratic Party.” while the Republican candidate has called for Iran to be nuked off the face of the planet, groped multiple woman, been photographed snorting coke off a 19 year old exotic dancer’s breast while his pregnant wife was in the hospital and plainly stated he is racist. Like, why are we doing this? (I know why.) Why aren’t we talking about who is funding these people and what their positions on the issues are?

are shows and movies allowed to be subtle and ambiguous anymore..... is that still allowed or does everything have to be a patronizing hand holding session. just wondering

ever since I was a little boy I knew it would be my fate to grow up and marry a Cookie Monster pajamas girl who was raised by her grandma, smells like cigarettes and Victoria Secret body spray and drives a Ford Taurus. this was given to me as a prophecy.

The Doctor, learning how to drive: What happens if I press the gas and the brake at the same time? Jack: The car takes a screenshot. Rose: Please pull over. I’m driving now.

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.

why do so many freaks go right to “there should be exams or tests before you have kids” when the real solution is better social services, robust infant and child development education that is accessible both financially and schedule/distance accommodating, and resources throughout any stage of a child’s life. genuine question like did you think about any social development before going straight to eugenics

A story set in a pre-internet era, about someone accidentally finding themselves in the ownership of a small printing press, and starting a recreational hobby zero standards newspaper The Local Bullshit, which consists 100% of articles written by the printer's friends, all of which are random shower thought rambles of whatever the fuck they were thinking of at the time. The magazine inexplicably grows an audience of people who enjoy reading this physical long-form version of one dork squad's group chat, whose members are somewhat confused but flattered about suddenly being regarded as some sort of a cool exclusive social clique, instead of just being a bunch of weird nerds.
