I MADE THIS BLOG ALL BY MYSELF

sorry i will never understand cis grief. your daughter is living her best life and going around with friends and feeling like a human being. your son doesn’t feel like he needs to crawl out of his skin anymore and can actually smile. your children are happy and no longer see their existence as the worst thing in the world. why are you grieving this lmao. grow up.

just saw someone describe the hunger games as "romantasy". okay so genre labels mean absolutely nothing now then

If someone ever said this to me I'd make them write a ten page paper on the violence and human rights violations committed by the capitol and then set my hounds on them

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.

People talk about women's bodies far too much; this is true. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be addressing the elephant in the room of insane weight loss and eds. it isnt fucking normal or healthy

I love these so much.

Leopard Seals are what happens when god needs a lizard and all he has is a mammal

I'd recommend turning the sound on. The seal is not screaming. It's not very loud at all, actually, but the noise it's making is Much Worse.

Op I’d like to thank you for sharing this. Ever since the first time I’ve read it I’ve held it in my mind and it really has helped me to be kinder to others and to myself.

i do not “delete sentences” when they start “hindering the plot” i COPY PASTE THEM into a SEPARATE DOC made just for keeping all my USELESS LINES that i will also NEVER USE so therefore i should JUST DELETE THEM but i DONT because id FEEL BAD if i did

You don't actually have to kill your darlings. You can just put them in the oubliette #myoubliette

I have no idea what the further context of this is (this is update 2, so there has to be more) but just having a pride flag in a classroom is a huge red flag. So with the info available, I'm gonna agree and say the teacher deserves it and probably should end up getting fired. Especially since schools usually don't investigate teachers in favor of "homophobic" parents. And the part about "innuendo and out of context student/teacher banter that was taken way out of context" is very worrying. "Innuendo" usually means sexual innuendo, and trying to frame that as "student/teacher banter" means this person regularly has sexually charged conversations with the children in their class. Again, without further context, this seems like this person got caught harassing a student, sexually or otherwise, and is hiding behind the "homophobia" accusation.

Fair enough.

Goodreads review complaining that Jews Don't Count by David Baddiel "lack intersectionality"....you read all that about how antisemitism doesn't really matter to leftist/progressive types and Baddiel repeatedly says it doesn't mean that other oppression, especially racial oppression, doesn't matter, it just would be nice if antisemitism were taken as seriously, and you're still gonna say it "lacks intersectionality" ??

that person simultaneously missing the point, probably not even understanding intersectionality, and ignoring that criticizing the way the left ignores antisemitism due to Jews’ perceived White privilege is kind of inherently an intersectional critique.

isn't australia also the home of the kids show about a kid in a coma going to a world of feral kid-tribes?

ok so I looked it up, and it turns out they made a track out of PVC pipes, down a hill. The owner didn't realise PVC expanded in the heat, so on a turn the track just fell apart and the dude inside went over a fucking free way and into a swamp.

The funniest part is that the inspector was watching the whole time, and once the ball stopped he left without saying anything. Park management just shut it down then and there.
