Memes and Hot Takes

can we please please please learn to differentiate between things that are good but devalued because of their association with women (caring for children, being compassionate), things that are neutral but seen negatively because of their association with women (the colour pink, having long hair), and things that are bad but associated with women because of misogyny (being materialistic, being stupid) because otherwise we’re gonna keep getting takes like “being gender nonconforming is anti feminist” and “not studying for your classes is feminist”

There’s an emotion only unlocked when you live in a house with multiple stories. I call it “the stair emotion” and it’s when you realize the object you need is on the other side of yet another trip up and down those goddamn stairs. It’s the closest I get to transcending the desire for material goods. Maybe I don’t need that notebook. Maybe I don’t need anything.

When you have kids, you end up getting 2 of everything you really really need.

if you think showing ur kids harry potter will radicalize them u are wrong and u should just instead watch a bug’s life and chicken run. there are gays in there, even. no not “canonically,” shut up, i’m old and in my day we simply UNDERSTOOD when a chicken was a lesbian or a stick bug was a gay man with the telepathic connection between our massive gay brains like the baby geniuses. i took a benadryl

stop reblogging this post OP has a foot fetish

Robots 2005, transformers one, hoppers, and apparently Sesame Street will also radicalize your kids.

I think Elliot Page should be allowed to kill people

i would like to officially thank sesame for its seeds, its oil, and of course its street

I'm in favour of people getting weird with pronouns, but nobody gets grammatically weird enough with pronouns. You can mess around with the declensions if you want. Yeah, my pronouns are 'she/she'. That's right, I don't have an accusative form. I refuse to be an object, direct or otherwise.

weirdest part of being an adult is the fact that you can put off watching a movie for nearly a decade and barely notice

I put off watching The Black Cat (1934) for like 23 years. Im in my 30s.

Jobs didnt used to be primarily gig economy or contracted work.

- Ex-Mormon gays are literally so nice. They got me and my wife free shit and cheered for Pittsburgh. Also Salt Lake City gay sex is very good.

- Crossing the third of the fuck all emptinesses of the journey, IMO, and Nevada may not have the desolate grandeur of the Great Divide Basin but it is nice desert so definitely better than Nebraska still.

- Oh wait, forgot to add, the Great Salt Lake is amazing and the salt flies there moving in swarms are beautiful. Much love to the seagulls and spiders too

- Mexican food in Reno goes hard

- Watching Mexico lose in Reno goes sad :(

- Filipino food in Sacramento goes so hard in made my Pinay wife nearly cry.

- The Golden Gate Bridge really is that pretty. It just is. They just let you cross it and it really is that cool looking.

- It's almost unbearable, isn't it? Cab drivers in New York and Ex-Mormons in SLC and immigrants from Manila. It's too much. Too much space too many lives too much detail. You pass a falling down shack in Wyoming and you have to ask yourself, who put this here? Why? Does it matter if they fell in love here, had their heart broken here, kept working here? Were they a bad person here, was this place good for them? So many fucking lives, so much space, so much time. And it's all there, in bright, unblinking reality. It's all there, if you look for it.

I reccomend OP drive through the Colorado Plateau, Hoover Dam, and Flagstaff or Sedona.
