I think every lesbian who says she wouldn't date a bi woman is functionally on the same wavelength as men who say they would only marry a virgin

I think every woman who gets mad at lesbians for not wanting to date them is functionally on the same wavelength as men who get mad at lesbians for not wanting to date them

That elderly couple who volunteers at the soup kitchen after church on Sundays and attends every town hall meeting has done more community direct action than 99% of internet leftists 🤷🏽‍♀️

Local activism stopped garbage collection from being privatized in my hometown and local activism is what defunds the police and keeps libraries and community gardens open and gets done most of the things people waiting around for a revolution claim they want. The weird former hippie suburban wine moms donating bags of quinoa chips and money to the food pantry I go to sometimes have done more for me materially then any defeatist political rant on tumblr ever has.

#local politics#so many people saying local elections won’t do anything for police brutality#when a lot of places in the US elect their sherrif!#and judges!#and all the other people in charge of the police!#but no I’m just a filthy moderate for suggesting we use EVERY tool at our disposal to improve the state of things (tags via @sofiadragon)

I do think there's something strange when a hot female celebrity is publicly cheated on by their chud that the response is "you idiot she's the most gorgeous woman in the world." As if the only reason people are in relationships are to possess a beautiful person and that the only reason someone cheats is because they don't have the most beautiful person. It just reinforces the idea that women are only worth being beautiful decoration in a man's life, even though that logic is already being defeated by the situation itself. clearly, her beauty is not enough to keep him from cheating. something else is going on. something like...misogyny. that you are also participating in right now.

what companies who sell you anti aging stuff don't want you to know is that if you're chill about aging, your perception of attractiveness changes as you get older. there is no "wall" where you suddenly become ugly and unfuckable because in my experience what actually happens is you get into your thirties and suddenly realize that people in their thirties are hot as fuck and the "flaws" that the beauty industry wants you to panic about are a feature not a bug, and based on the std statistics in nursing homes I don't really expect that trajectory to change.
