“If men could get pregnant, abortion would be free” men CAN get pregnant and they’re treated worse than women who can get pregnant

oh folks really don't like being asked to consider trans men

Pedophilia is one of the key traits of modern fascism so yeah you DO deserve to be killed for promoting that openly, like any other fascist.

“Waaaah! We can’t take such a stance, there’s a small handful of trans influencers who support pedophilia!” Zionist argument. Being marginalized doesn’t excuse marginalizing others. There will be no exceptions. You will be tried next to catholic priests and QAnon influencers who abuse children.

“But North Korea has a cult of personality” and we depict our founding fathers as angel-like beings blessed with the divine vision of a great nation built on earth that will spread its light to all corners. Like literally. We painted that on the ceiling of our capital building.

It even crashes like a car in a ps2 game

everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.

I have had a lot of evil people say to me that nothing taste as good as skinny feels and every time im like no im pretty sure food tastes really super good actually

i'll be honest thinking about las vegas makes me nauseous.

if hiphop weren't real its existence would sound like an exceptionally heavy-handed metaphor about racism from a really cringe didactic fantasy novel. yeah the racialized underclass in this society, the one that's constantly derided by the ethnic majority as stupid and anti-intellectual, they have a complex artistic tradition based around improvisational poetry which is sometimes enacted on a competitive basis for dispute resolution. you get judged based on the subtlety of your wordplay and the complexity of your internal rhyme schemes. the dominant group periodically gets mad about how this doesn't count as real art like their own objectively more simplistic music and poetry because sometimes it has swears in it

studying history is like. here's to another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be. thank you women who fight for abortion and contraception and independance from men for another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be

There are a lot of people who start creative projects with no business or financial plan, because "who cares, it isn't important, we'll figure that out later". And you can't let yourself become that person. Not because I'm a sneering finance bro who thinks your woke animated youtube series wont make money, but because if you don't you'll wind up financially exploiting your friends for years

Look, it's none of my business if you wanna work yourself to the bone for no money so you can make your dream project a reality. I think you shouldn't, but also let's be real that's basically a rite of passage for young creatives. But as soon as you start involving other people? You need a plan. You need to be able to compensate them for their time, and you need to have it in writing

For freelancers: I recommend getting yourself a copy of the Graphic Artists' Guild Handbook: Pricing and Ethical Guidelines for reference-- the newest one dropped last year (I have the 16th edition). It helps you figure out your pricing, how to create a contract for various projects (and you can access free PDFs of templates you can use to modify for your own projects)! It's a good place to start and refer to-- even colleagues who are decades in the business (and former Guild Members too) still use it.

Younger people, one thing I want you to understand about Millenials is that, overall, our parents taught their daughters to aim for careers and employment, but they didn't teach their sons to keep house. This causes a whole lot of Situations.

Yep.

I was told in high school that it was my job to have dinner ready and on the table by 5pm sharp when my parents got home. My brothers never had to cook or wash the dishes. I had to teach myself how to cook because I was told to just do it since "it's a girl's job. You're going to be a woman soon, so you need to know this." (I've since realized I'm transmasculine nonbinary but that's a different discussion people probably aren't ready for). My brothers never had to learn to cook. Sure, they did it for fun when they did boy scout camping, but never at home. I did the dishes and cooked while doing hours of homework because I was in all the advanced placement classes. They could play video games or go to football practice, and I had to take care of the house. When I asked if my oldest brother, who was always home and who was also over 18 the entire time, could make dinner even one night a week, so I could do my homework, I got screamed at so fiercely by my mother. Never once did I get help with anything. Never once did my parents say that they'd make dinner and we'd eat at 6 or 7 after they came home so we could have family dinner together. It was always my job as the only girl and the youngest, which is ironic since usually the oldest sibling is usually said to take care of the family.
