Mothman is Antifascist

if being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked by now

Non-transfeminine people: please read this, and then read it again, so you know how to avoid terfy posts.

If I could add - referring to any AFAB person who disagrees with them as “brainwashed”, because god forbid AFAB people be complete people with autonomy and the capability to think for themselves, cause then you might have to consider that your beliefs might not automatically be right. This comes into the obvious TERF shit with the whole “trans men are just brainwashed into thinking they can escape womanhood” concept, but it’s important to recognise it as shitty when it isn’t explicitly transphobic as well. 

LIghthouse keepers will never be memorialized like soldiers or cops because they didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job) but they’re like, heroes who saved untold lives through discipline and self-sacrifice doing an impossible lonely job and I’m worked up about  it 

Clinging to a swaying tower in freezing, driving rain, risking death by everything from pneumonia to a fall to a fucking lightning strike to keep the lantern going when you don’t even KNOW if someone is out on the water!! Working! Class! Heroes!

Love very much the sentiment of this post and also love the specific wording of “didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job)” because what lighthouse keepers did off hours is their own business

Genuinely I enjoy criticisms of America as a nation for Obvious Reasons of Color but so many of y’all are just like “I hate Americans because they [something only white people do] [something only white people do] [something we’re forced to deal with due to our government] [something that even white Americans will mock you for doing] [something only rich people can afford to do] [movie trope] [something you would only bring up if you’re fatphobic] [something that Canada also does but hides behind the “we’re just super nice teehee” stereotype] [something that your country does but you recognize is not inherently the fault of all citizens] [literally just capitalism] [something you’ll only see in like, Maine] [something Americans complain about constantly] [movie trope] [something only white people do]”

I’ve been screaming this for days (for years, frankly). Small companies, queer media are scrutinized to hell and back, but people keep patting marvel shit on the back. I am not telling to stop enjoying mainstream things (though it would be cool), but may be at least stop mobbing on small companies? This is disgusting   

Wait, if they’re that old, why are they called neopronouns?

Probably because it’s just what we call non-traditional pronouns. Neo is also the prefix for ‘revived’ and ‘modified’ so that still works for neopronouns from 100 years ago

i hope so

no other social media platform has lore quite like tumblr’s

the gods that haunt this place are unlike any others

i think social media spectacle brain leads to people playing down the transphobia of jk rowling because it reduces her to just somebody who is transphobic on twitter (large amounts of people are this unfortunately) and a fantasy author whose books are full of reactionary garbage and prejudice (the fantasy genre is full of authors like this, unfortunately) while ignoring the fact that she’s a billionaire celebrity using her enormous amounts of social and financial capital to actively campaign for restrictions on the human rights of trans people in a country that’s currently undergoing a massive anti-trans moral panic and which has recently seen serious rollbacks in the right of trans people to transition. she’s more than just a problematic fantasy author who is a bigoted asshole, she’s actually putting her money where her mouth is to ensure that her bigotries become actual public policy.

my favorite thing in the world is how every single human culture, together or independently, created its own version of Pancake. everyone took one look at frying pans and were like “holy shit i have the BEST idea”
