“we need to teach media literacy in schools” guys was i really the only person paying attention in english class bffr

If this post hits 20k notes I'll come out as trans to my family.

Tbh I think my mom already suspects. She keeps asking me "are you sure you're a boy?"

crazy that in the 1970s they were like, "fine, women can play sports. but because they're innately less athletic than men, only in a special ghettoized League For The Frail And Delicate where they get paid less 😊". And not only is that still the system in 2023, but viciously lashing out at the smallest challenges to that system gets framed as Feminist Praxis

even setting aside the fact that gendered bodytype averages aren't universals, and plenty of individual (cis) women and (cis) men could easily go to toe to toe. have we considered that the fact that all the most prominent and well-paid sports are ones that require things like Being Tall and Having Muscle Mass, as opposed to, ex, gymnastics...is itself an artifact of sexism

also to people who are like "well do you think WOMEN should be playing AMERICAN FOOTBALL against MEN" actually I don't think anyone should be playing american football on account of, you know, the irreversible brain damage.

Fun Fact: It gets you downtown, and is accessible both in terms of disability access andlocation are the bare fucking minimums that you should be able to expect from a transit system. If it doesn't at minimum meet those 3 things, it is not a good transit system.

How are trebuchets wheelchair accessible?

wheel chair fit in flingy thing

But you never mentioned safety as an issue

Because I would assume that it was implied, if someone gets hurt every time a transit system is used, it obviously is not a good system

No! That's how you get Boston and nobody wants to be Boston

Source?

(Genuine) what make’s Boston’s so bad?

Nothing, she's just easy to bully because The T is a mess

Weed gummy should cost 50¢ and be sold out of vending machines and at corner stores

I'm sure the kids can scrounge up 50¢

Just saw the most chronically online take of the year of someone ranting unironically that you should look up every single artist with a song you enjoy to make sure they are unproblematic. And if you don't do this them you are as bad as the controversy associated with the artist, for being 'willfully ignorant.' They literally talked about how they went through more than a thousand artists they listened to and whittled it down to 200 this way. This is obsessive and they need help

what do you mean this song was written in A Minor? 🤨 cuff em boys

Best addition to this post really

The absolute contempt for these locks is palpable.

The thing about Cottagecore is that is a fetishized aesthetic of country life, divorced from labor and idealized by a primarily urban audience with a backward looking ethos of tradition. They are not prepared for the stresses of a rural life: farming; harvesting; tapping pumpkins to ensure none of them have been replaced with flesh; losing out on income by having to use one of your pigs in a blood sacrifice to paint protective sigils over your doors and windows; checking cracks and chimneys for the flesh-vines of the Pumpkin Lord; having to decide, before the Growth is complete, whether that's really your tradwife or an amassment of vines, leaves, and blood in the shape of your tradwife; ignoring their desperate pleas that "I'm me! No! No!" as you burn them alive, realizing too late you picked wrong; and the exploitative corporate nature of commercial farming in 2024. All seen through a deeply colonial lens, of course

When I made this post I did not expect it to be an effective test of which Tumblr users actually read a post fully before reblogging, and yet

Yeah that's fair, those tags should part of the main post

no one tells you how much of life takes practice. not just writing, painting, running, singing, etc, but practicing how to make friends. how to make the right ones. getting practiced at how to be a good friend, a good sibling, a good person. practice identifying when people haven’t earned that. learning to recognize your right to rage and, eventually, how to offer mercy. so much of life is muscle memory, and i’ve begun to realize there are so many more parts of ourselves to flex and stretch and strengthen than those we’re taught in anatomy lessons
