test that assumption at your earliest convenience

girl help they're taking my fave's extremely thin veneer of swaggering overconfidence at face value

i think a lot of the people who say that warning posts are useless drama-starters that only exist to further harass marginalized/vulnerable people would have more plausible deniability if those type of posts didnt spring up literally every single time a black user pointed out that a white user is racist

and also if the Black user didn't proceed to get racist harassment from the white users followers for pointing out said racism

their eyes are BROWN they are not hazel they are not amber they are BROWN say it with me now

"i'm soooo glad that this new female character finally proved that you can be feminine and powerful! because media usually doesn’t let strong female characters be feminine!” yeah that is so crazy btw what planet do you live on and how can i get there

OK lads but. Why is the r slur coming back. It's 2026. Why am I hearing so many of The Youth use this word liberally and at whim. Do you need me to ground you. Do I need to sit you on the naughty step. Do you need me to strap you into the Learning Chair and deliver a 4 hour lecture about the history of the r slur, ableism, and why using that word is neither big nor cool. Or do you just need me to punch you in the mouth.

Because people aren't going along with your "harsh insults are suddenly slurs now" game. Touch grass, get a glass of water, do literally anything else...

"it's not that deep bro"<-guy who refuses to examine personal biases and grow as a person

white tumblr liberals if this site existed in 1800s america: idkkkkk i know slavery is bad but like uh i dont like when slaves say they want to kill plantation owners thats kinda icky like….uhh wheres ur empathy..? they are giving you a job…no seriously i know slavery is bad but like if you do a revolt and kill them for raping your women and using your children as alligator bait and skinning people alive to use their body as furniture you will just continue the cycle like you’ll be even worse than them! you cant hate them! wheres ur compassion dude they probably feel rlly bad about whipping you it probably gives them bad vibes

once you recognize the pattern of black men on spn being killed (half the time immediately!) it’s impossible to unsee it

and yes, this post is absolutely about all the named characters you’re thinking of (jake talley, gordon walker, victor henriksen, rufus, uriel, raphael, etc.). but it’s also about every unnamed extra or minor single episode side character. pay attention and you’ll notice that if a Black man shows up in the monster of the week intro, 90% of the time he’ll be dead by the title card. and if a Black man is introduced halfway through the episode with some other side characters, he’ll be the one sam and dean DON’T manage to save from the monster of the week. it’s through the whole run of the show, too.

I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.

Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.

I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.

I really do attribute my immunity* to beauty standards bullshit to the women in my life both not engaging with it around me as a kid and expressly disallowing me to fall into that hole. my friends started wearing makeup at 9-10 years old and that did nothing but make their self confidence and quality of life worse. It is not healthy or okay that you cannot leave the house barefaced. and choice feminism ensures that another generation of little girls will be taught the exact same thing but it’s ok because they Want To 👍🏾

I’m so excited for the code Veronica remake but oh my god if Claire gets overshadowed in her own game by Chris or Steve I’m genuinely going to hurt someone

this is what the phrase social murder referred to before self-centered white Tumblr users started misusing it to refer to getting their blogs deleted btw - murder perpetrated via policy decisions; usually recorded as "natural causes," erased and made invisible.

I FOUND THE FANART!

a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered

you can make a little oasis right where you are, and it matters
