Lickety split, brains off

i am well aware of the absolutely fucked up things eating disorders do to people’s brains, and i am sympathetic, but I still think acknowledging publicly that these celebrities are promoting looking emaciated on death’s door is important. Can you imagine being 13 and seeing this shit? Every celebrity event looks like a thinspo board, it’s awful.

when you reblog a post about life being hopeless as an acknowledgement that your own life sucks and then your mutuals reblog the same post from you and tag it with the name of a hockey player it's like oh. so it's just me and this millionaire bastard in canada

A concerning amount of y’all seem to think that being racist is a morally neutral position, instead of a prejudice that you are supposed to work on dismantling such as sexism, homophobia, and so on. I’d suggest watching kindergarten level cartoons to learn about treating others like human beings but some of y’all already do that and it’s not doing the trick.

I don’t know how to say this without sounding like a broken record. A lot of y’all talk about misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc but don’t wanna summon the same vim when racism is brought up. Using the excuse that this is a predominantly white space is the same line of thinking as “boys will be boys” when men do something sexist. A group of ppl being of a certain demographic that doesn’t experience a form of bigotry doesn’t excuse their perpetuating of it. If you think a guy should check his peers when they’re being misogynistic, then you should check your white peers when they’re similarly being racist. And similarly if you are disgusted when a guy tries to shrug off misogyny and say it’s not a big deal, and do the same exact thing when it comes to racism think for TWO SECONDS how that makes you look!

To neatly summarize, if you consider yourself a progressive person and combat bigotry where it appears but stop short when racism rears its head, it’s not a good look. If your compassion evaporates on the axis of racial discrimination, it will call into question your judgment on other bigotries as they’re tangled in a messy web of oppression. I’m not expecting you to be Malcom X up in here, but for the love of everything on this earth stop acting like it’s not a big deal.

i should be nicer to anons calling me an egg maybe it's their first time seeing someone even slightly gnc

In love with this random guy who had a lock slapped on his storage unit for not paying its rental and not only did he ignore management and took his stuff out without paying, but also chose to steal the lock itself and send it to the LockPickingLawyer along with a confession letter

@theoutcastrogue

People always focus on the "lockpicking" part of his name and ignore that the lockpicking lawyer is, indeed, a lawyer, and can tell you exactly which crimes you committed in getting this lock to him

and my take today is that framing misogynistic writing as an "inability to write female characters" subconsciously takes away most of the blame, implying that women are an alien creature compared to men and that it is no fault of the writer because it's out of their skill set. it's not an inability, not a lack of expertise, it's the simple refusal to consider women as individual people and give them the same depth and grace that comes easily to the writer when they write male characters. it's not that christopher nolan, stephen king, james cameron (and frankly anyone using the argument, both professional and hobbyist; yes, that includes fanfic writers) etc can't write women, it's that they just won't. at that point in time it is a conscious decision driven by the laziness to unpack their misogynistic biases, and should be addressed as such
