girls who learned all their vocab from books and are now constantly embarrassing themselves by pronouncing words slightly wrong in conversation

When I say I hate the good girl bad boy cliché I mean I hate when it's a violent guy with daddy issues and a woman who is desperate to fix him even though he makes her cry five times a day. But give me a cheerful optimistic doe eyed girl and a guy who seems dangerous to everyone but is actually a big softie, especially with her and I'll ship it till the end of time.

when you are not even remotely a stan but the character/ship gets too much undeserved and inherently hypocritical hate you just say fuck it and become a vehement apologist. as a treat

I’m not trying to turn your kids trans; that’s stupid. I’m trying to turn them into socialists.

#for real tho! their gender is their business but class struggle is everyone’s business

hey shout out of recognition and validation to all the queer people who didn’t exhibit many queer behaviors or have queer many experiences when they were young!! shout out to trans women and trans men who didn’t feel bad about or uncomfortable with their AGAB when they were younger and didn’t gravitate toward the “opposite side of things”. shout out to nonbinary and genderfluid ppl who felt content with their AGAB all of their childhood or even teen years. shout out to lesbians who didn’t have any crushes on girls growing up and liked traditionally feminine things and shout out to gay men who didn’t have any crushes on boys growing up and liked traditionally masculine things. shout out to bi and pan and omni people who only had hetero attractions growing up. shout out to aros and aces who thought they experienced crushes or attraction or whatever while growing up and didn’t feel excluded by being surrounded by allo people. shout out to literally any queer people who didn’t “show the signs” growing up because that can make you feel invalidated or worried that you’re faking it and you shouldn’t feel worried about that! When we say that everyone’s journey and experience is different, that includes you!! Happy pride month <3

the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family

Just saying this is truly one of the best “discourse” posts on this site like……this hits the nail directly on the head re: what is going on with language right now and everyone pushing back in the notes only serves to further prove the point it’s making

its always "what are your plans for the future, you should really be planning for the future" and never "wow that character you're obsessed with sounds so cool can you explain them to me. im sure you get them more than anyone else"

The way my block list is made up of 95% people I’ve never interacted with but had the misfortune of stumbling upon one of their dumbass posts and I simply couldn’t run the risk of having to see any of their other stupid takes

I’m sorry but brain cells are a critically endangered species on this website

for years you have paraded around in public, wearing a hat that so boldly claims that women want you and fish fear you. you know just as well as i do that this is a lie. can you live up to the bar your hat sets? currently you are being lowered into a tank of piranha, and only your wife has the controls to save you. does this woman truly want you, or will it be you who fears the fish? let the game begin

tumblr posts’ standards have reached such level of absurdity that i saw this post and considered it just another normal tumblr post till i read the url

so we're not going to talk about the fact that warner just took a look at brainwashed super soldier juliette and was like "you know what , i'm going to kiss it better"
