hello

“Thats my husband!!”

imagine being an ARISTOCRAT and having SIX brothers and your ROWDY GAY BROTHER is STEALING your family’s AIRSHIP and an OLD MAN keeps trying to KILL YOU and you keep THROWING UP and you want to go to the SOUTH POLE to find GOLDBEARD’S GOLD and your ROWDY AUTISTIC BROTHER keeps PUSHING PEOPLE into WIND TURBINES and your OLDER BROTHER THAT FUCKING SUCKS punched you in the STOMACH and you dropped your DIAMOND in the SOUP and you are SOLID. you are Wealwell Gotch.

for real tho it feels exhausting that ive seen this whole "woman should be allowed to abstain from X beauty standard" -> "i perform X beauty standard, am i evil? do you think im evil? please forgive me i came up with a dozen excuses 🥺" since like 2015 (and i know its been going on longer than that) like girl thats not the poiiiiint

look me in the eyes. repeat after me. "i face societal pressure to perform this beauty standard. i should not face that pressure. i conform to this standard. i am rewarded for performing to this standard. i need to respect women who do not perform this standard. this is not about whether or not i am a sinner for wearing makeup."

Martina McBride didn't win Country Music Association Song of the Year for a song about how burning your house down with your abusive husband still inside it is good, noble, and an allegory for the American Revolution for people to act like the genre belongs to bootlicking fucks

how the hell did I leave Morgan Wade off this list. wrote a song about being depressed, alcoholic, and suicidal and how mental illness stigma sucks, saw how much people connected with it, wrote a Part II of that song about how she's doing better now but you're never totally free of the risk of relapse. fucking icon.

bringing the full version of this post back around because people are pissing me off today

Also shoutout to the guy in the baseball card episode Jake and Nog were bartering with, who was trying to crack imortality by "keeping his cells entertained". And then he became friends with visiting Weyoun who heard him moving around his illegal medical supplies downstairs and became genetic experiment besties(?)

His phrase "soulless minions of orthodoxy" will never be topped

ODO (off monitor) There's no record of a Doctor Giger being assigned to those quarters. JAKE He was there, Odo. NOG Maybe the soulless minions of orthodoxy finally caught up with him. ODO The who? JAKE We don't know who they are, but they were after Doctor Giger's Cellular Regeneration and Entertainment Chamber. ODO His what?

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

If someone is doing things that don't make Sense, try to understand that it is entirely possible that their brain is probably under an enormous weight and fracturing under the pressure. People who have been stabbed will sometimes talk a circle around the fact that they've been stabbed because stress and shock prevent you from recognizing the distress you are in and what you need to do to seek help for it. PTSD will do this also. You will find yourself repeatedly jamming a bag of frozen fruit into the same spot in the freezer where it doesn't fit and keeps falling, over and over and over, focused on nothing but that bag. You will decide that a beanbag chair is 10000% necessary to your life. You will lose your entire shit because you stubbed your toe on a table and that means the whole setup of your furniture is wrong. These are largely harmless examples. People under strain will also hurt themselves and others. Cornered animals bite. And it doesn't heal the bite to go "Hey, are you okay?" But it might get you to an animal that stops biting, so you can start to heal. And before you had an animal that bit, you probably had an animal that kept doing shit you didn't understand as stress signals

there’s very few things that drive me up the wall in fandom as much as this weird new assumption that fandom is primarily a space for younger people that older folks are only accepted into in a trial basis if they promise to centralize and accommodate younger fans, and further, anything else is creepy and predatory. IT’S OKAY FOR ADULTS TO PRODUCE CONTENT FOR OTHER ADULTS.

if I have to read “women in their 30s” used as an insult one more time I swear I’ll - step away from that user and just hang out with the other grownups who consistently create good content because I’m also an adult and too busy comparing car insurance to fight with teenagers on the internet, but goddAMMIT I’ll be annoyed

I’ve been in this hole since yall lil shits were three apples tall and I’ll die in this hole too

Working an office job will truly make you have the wildest enemies, bc why is my nemesis rn a woman I’ve never met and who exclusively haunts me by sending diabolical emails, and also a specific guy who left my company before I even worked here and made the system so fuckass that it ruined procedures for like a year
