I love reading fanfics where one character is tagged as jealous, but their partner is unlovable to anyone but them. Like.. calm down, sweetheart, no one wants your man. We're still trying to figure out why you want your man.

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

The average straight monogamous person will expect their partner to never talk to half the world population ever again out of jealousy then turn around and genuinely ask you to specify "ethical polyamory" because otherwise they can't help but assume the worst

Happy pride to the post that turns the average Tumblr user into a pearl clutching conservative

happy fourth of july to the philippines ONLY

happy june 12 to you

This post is going to make me sound like a total assole and I preemptively apologize. This is not directed at anyone in particular. Giving music recs to people feels awesome and listening to music recs from people is a miserable experience 85% of the time. I’ll mention a classic song I like and someone will be like “Have you heard The Breadsticks cover of that? It is so good!” and you pull it up and give it a try and it is hot garbage. It is coworker music. It is music you find on a playlist created for a popular YA ship. It is worse than the original by every conceivable metric and you sit back and realize someone thinks this is really good and you don’t want to hurt their feelings so you have no clue how to respond. We all know the phrase ‘you can’t eat at everybody’s house’ but you really cannot listen to everyone’s music recommendations. Especially if it is unprompted. People are just rearing to tell you to listen to some bullshit. And it has nothing to do with how cool the person is, there are some very cool and chill people in this world who unironically listen to Imagine Dragons in their free time. You cannot possibly know if their taste in music is good or horrendous until it is too late and your ears have been subjected to some torment.

irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers

I think leftists need to refer to the United States as a slave state more often. It has one of the highest prison populations per capita of any nation, slavery is legal as punishment for a crime, and Black people are disproportionately imprisoned and given longer sentences. The prison industrial complex is modern-day slavery

unironically love the phrase “but I’m being so brave about it” because truly, like, what other choice do we have in this wretched existence? what a beautiful way to remind yourself to keep going, even if only out of spite
