A long dream.

our age of bronze is regressing *hits you with a rock*

Apparently the local university’s undergraduate entomology course sends students to catch insect specimens at the same place I like to go birdwatching, which explains why I saw three enormous frat looking dudes with tiny bug nets and overheard one emphatically say “bro BRO I told you we already have enough lepidopterans”

"trans inclusive misogyny" is a great example of an ingroup joke you shouldn't brag about on tumblr

maybe your tgirl friends specifically are okay with it. but i promise you, convincing strangers to get on board with it is not a look you want. you really, really don't want that.

every post that's like "name a woman who is a woman IN CANON" "name a female character and MEN DON'T COUNT" makes me go a little 🤨 i'm ngl. like i get what they mean but i don't trust that kind of throwing the transfem interpretation baby out with the ukefication bathwater

"men don't count" is at least the more understandable of the two given the aforementioned ukefication discourse but "CANONICALLY a woman" just makes me hold my nose and go pee-yoo

Not all heroes wear capes, sometimes they publish questionable card games

Hence the not-uncommon adage that the washing machine did even more for women's liberation than the birth control pill

beer isn't really worth it in the grand scheme of better things to drink but I do partake every now and again to go "oakenshield mode" regardless

three beers got me clapping my hand on my meekest friend's shoulder saying "my friend, I think we shall die in this place" and then laughing, presumably at fate

A migrating phoenix has stopped for a decadent sippy of water from a stagnant puddle in a Walmart parking lot and has ignited the years of accumulated fuel leaks into the surrounding pavement. It's so happy.

It’s worth noting many of JFK’s health issues started after he developed scarlet fever, a common childhood illness that often left victims with damage to their kidneys, heart, joints and brain and sometimes triggered arthritis. There is no vaccine against it but RFK jr is trying to undermine the vaccination schedules for other common childhood illnesses that can cause permanent lifelong damage to a child’s health.

“I don’t understand. How does this refute what RFK jr. said?” Because many of JFK’s ailments may have been preventable/treatable with modern medicine. Because he needed amphetamines to function. Because the average life expectancy for men in 1960 was 66.6. People lived harder lives and died younger. Public health campaigns and infectious disease control and education helped immensely. People were not healthier during his uncle’s presidency because they did not have the tools and knowledge necessary to address many major public health concerns, we have them now and he is firing vaccine experts and literally swimming in shit creek. The average state of health in the 1960s was not better than it is today.

Many do not know about the state of JFK’s health because it was taboo. Because disability and ill health were things that were spoken of in hushed whispers. The Kennedys buried JFK’s health problems like they hid Rosemary after she was lobotomized. RFK jr wants to continue his rose-tinted view of a past constructed through blood and pain and ignorance. He is rewriting history in a way that is so obvious and so vile.

Also by "urinary tract infections" they mean "the clap"

JFK went so hard against the ‘sickly kid becomes a disabled adult who doesn’t get laid’ stereotype that he was still cheating on his wife with a roster of women while his spine dissolved and he was on a dozen medications. If a man is a dog, he’ll continue being a dog even while he is the president of the United States and suffering from a number of serious and debilitating health conditions.
