Imagine if we did the “public libraries are punk” thing for other subcultures. Imagine if people made shirts that said “Soup kitchens are grunge” or “Mixed Use Urbanism is Juggalo”.

You should automatically get time off work until the light returns to your eyes and you feel like a real person again

can you imagine how good shows would be if writers thought of women as human beings

Your misbehaving boyfriend is not funny to me

Really my media Crit hot take is that the fundamental myth tha action media writ large sells isn't even that violence and killing are good or righteous or heroic but that they are precise and discriminating.

remember to bury the dead with a phone, everyone. these days the ferry terminal at the river styx wants you to download a fucking app

"Oh but trans people went after women and children" you incurious dipshit. This is what they say about gay people when they're going after gay people. It's what they say about immigrants when going after immigrants. It's what they say about religious minorities when going after religious minorities. You fell for the oldest trick in the fucking book.

I heard a cis person did a crime once so we should really be taking away all their rights already

Everything I read about recovering from burnout is like “it takes months or even years to fully recover” and it’s like okay…. I have a weekend before I gotta clock in on Monday

the way ppl talk about latinas is kind of very gross if I'm being honest

they're like reverse Asians bro they're all stacked and they're fiery mamacitas who you can break like a horse and make into domestic servants who love family

"bro I need a big booty latina" bro I need you to kill yourself

Why did we let getting paid every 2 weeks get normalized like how tf did that happen

i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights
