kinda fucked up how society teaches that “it’s not fair” is a whiny and childish emotional response to have. what a good way to gloss over the fact that things need to change until they are fair & that distress is a valid emotional response to injustice

“But that’s not fair!” Holy shit, you’re right, kiddo. Let’s do something about it

u ever have on mutuals whos so deep in another fandom that u know absolutely zero about and they make posts that look like they speaking another language or some shit

Reading her account of how their boss treated her blows me away. Men are so emboldened that they will literally admit to illegal discrimination casually and face no consequences.

19th century doctors be like “i don’t know what’s wrong with you but you’re a woman so i diagnose you with hysteria”

Normally I would agree with you, but in the context of “during a disaster that almost nobody had anticipated was even possible, one company HAD gotten insurance for this shit” is news, because unusual things are news, and being prepared for the corona virus at all is very unusual.

You know right that pandemics existed before Corona virus and that this insurance was for pandemics and not just corona and therefore actually kinda sorta really makes sense

I run dnd for a bunch of teenagers at the public library twice a month, and I created a character for them to like, and my teens are so obsessed with this rat that speaks common that they paid for him to go to college, and about once a week one of them comes in to the library to show me a cute picture of a rat that reminded them of him.

God this story is so blessed thank you

man you know what is just as bad as men-hate-their-wives-lol jokes? parents-hate-their-kids-lol jokes. i cannot STAND how many memes and posts i'm seeing from parents who are upset that they have to spend quarantine time with their kids & homeschool them for a month or two... like why did you have kids if you'd rather lock them in a basement than teach them...
