im in love

oh! my face showed up on my dash

i’m getting less and less able to tolerate tumblr/twitter posts that are like “adulthood is just [insert description of being brutally overworked and unable to tend to one’s home and basic needs]” like no…that’s not adulthood…..that’s capitalism. and you perpetuating its legitimacy with memes about how your suffering under capitalism is caused by your personal failure to ~adult~ correctly, or about how adulthood is just Like That, is not cute or funny.

it just makes me so angry because adulthood should be, and in many places historically was, a wonderful culmination when we grow into our responsibility for and full participation in our communities and take control of our own lives and build our own families. and capitalism has destroyed almost all of that for almost all of us and i just want people to be aware of that loss, at the very least

how many people could be working on actual problems in the world instead of being forced to do jobs that they are over-qualified for just because they dont want to go homeless and starve?

climate change is threatening to kill us and people with biology degrees are working at starbucks if they didn’t get lucky in the nepotism department.

Millions of people want to be doctors but can’t afford medical school, it is a well known fact we don’t have enough doctors for the demand. hmm wow real efficient capitalism.

a reminder that this is no conspiracy bullshit, we have evidence

Shell funded the research that first brought the issue to light and then immediately began covering it up

reblog for easter

forget april fools day its almost time for the best video on this entire fuckin planet

sunglasses. no sun. it’s cloudy: overcast. 

🤣 🤣

it genuinely is important to acknowledge the role of pornography in fetishizing asian women’s entire existence specifically for the pleasure of white men, who then go out into the world and view asian women as objects for them to inflict their sexual desires and rage onto. asian countries are home to some of the highest prevalence of sex tourism, including child sex tourism, and southeast asia is still crippled by the sex trade that exploded during the vietnam war. the relationship between asia and the west, and also between asian westerners and white people, is defined by the sexual exploitation of and sexual violence toward asian women. within this country, asian women make up disproportionate shares of the domestic services industry, and frequently work in intimate service jobs such as nailcare and massages. that feeds that exploitation. my mom pointed out last night how anti-asian and anti-female bias in media was underscoring the decision to refer to the business in which these women were killed as “massage parlors,” which has the connotations of prostitution, rather than “day spas,” even though there was no indication that these businesses offered sexual services. its so pervasive

call me ignorant but i genuinely don’t understand why sports have to be split up by gender.

@ everyone in the notes talking about physical performance: if that were the case, then sports would be divided by physical performance. that’s a thing you can measure. that’s a thing that varies by individual. a weak man and a strong man would be an unfair fight in boxing/wrestling/MMA, which is why they divide those sports up into weight groups based on physical performance. but they also further segregate them based on gender. chess is segregated by gender for no reason but sexism. if it’s actually about skill and physical ability, then measure those and separate people by those metrics. don’t do some bullshit gender segregation and pretend like men and women are inherently on different levels no matter their individual abilities.

💅

Remember that time a teenage girl struck out Babe Ruth? That’s fucking why. Men are afraid of being beaten by women.

Remember that time male swimmers were pulled out of training because Kate Ledecky was leaving them ‘broken’ by swimming better than them? Remember how she didn’t even notice, because she was busy actually training?

Shooting is a sport that has no reliance on strength and so any allowance for gender variation is irrelevant. The last time there was a mixed competition (1992) a chinese woman named Zhang Shan won it.

this is why they drug test Serena like crazy. the believe no woman should be that good. let alone a black woman. and black women have always been considered “manly” and less feminine.

also can we talk about how surfing is segregated as well? like how the dude who won this years international surfing cup or whatever was given $30,000 worth of prize money, while the woman who won the women’s comp was only awarded like $16,000 of prize money???? or whatever it was. but I know it was either half or less than half of what the man won. like why can’t they get the same prize money and when they’re competing internationally in the same competition? they surely have the same level of skill and talent.

the pay gap in sports between men and women is fucking insane.

The pay gaps, not to mention lack of sponsorships for women athletes who don’t look like models is insane. If you weigh over 250 pounds, no one will sponsor you. It’s why most female Olympic-class weightlifters live in poverty/out of their cars.

i’ve started replacing “i want to die” with “i feel overwhelmed” in my internal monologue, which is usually more accurate and more productive

ive been working on replacing ‘im so stupid’ with ‘im so silly’ and it has the same effect!
