enthusiastically sad

When Romani people ask you to stop using a widespread slur for them, you stop. I don’t care if it’s your pets name. Change it. I don’t care if it’s your business name, or your friends business name. Change that too. I don’t care if it’s your “identity” because you’re descended from white travelers. Stop. That’s not your word. It’s a violent slur only WE can use for ourselves, born of misinformation and directly resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths for as far back as the word has existed, right up until present day.

Also in case anyone was unaware, the phrase "g*p" or "g*pped" (some people misspell it as "jipped") comes from this slur and means to cheat, swindle or ripoff someone. Please do not use this phrase. Just say you feel cheated!!

Listen, they found a sealed sarcophagus made of lead, buried under a centuries-old cathedral in an ancient city built above catacombs lined with human bones. If that doesn’t sound cursed to you, I don’t know what will!

Also challah (the bread, not the dough-sacrificing ritual) is basically the same as other braided eggs breads in Europe, like Polish chałka and Czech vánočka. Cause Europe is where Ashkenazim picked it up, through cultural exchange.

If goyim couldn’t make challah, then I would have been spared hearing my order at Einstein Bros described as “tchallah bread.” 😒

eldest daughter syndrome and gifted kid syndrome are some great examples of phrases used to talk about specific kinds of trauma that the internet has taken and turned into "boo hoo these people arent special anymore so theyre lashing out!!" it was never about that you fucking cunts

eldest daughter sydrome is about a very specific trauma that comes with being expected to parent for younger siblings and even your parents as a literal child and how badly it fucks you and your perception of yourself and what you're capable of doing up. gifted kid syndrome is about how a "smart" label is slapped onto kids at a horribly young age and then they are repeatedly denied help forced to do more and more work never taught socialization or study skills and then berated and treated like a disappointment when they're human beings instead of little intelligence machines. god.

i was fucking right about this honestly. most phrases like this are about certain kinds of trauma people have faced not about some kind of fucking superiority complex

i don’t know where i saw it but people on here really do act like reading is a moral action one takes for the sake of itself and not an activity one does because one enjoys it.

some people read books that challenge them because they enjoy that and some people read snappy plot focused books because they enjoy them. when you die you are not going to face Book Anubis who will weigh every book you’ve ever read against the Feather of Literary Value

There are people having fits underneath this post on IG because he said “non birthing parent.” Like whole ass meltdowns

This guy is being a good partner and a good parent and trying to help other folks be good partners and parents... And folks are losing their shit because the man uses inclusive language? In the year of Our Lady, 2022? Madness.

Your first warning sign should have been when they called the Bismark Model of healthcare, literally named after the nationalist monarchist and noble statesman who invented it, far left.

I don’t know how to explain to people that, in any other country, Biden would be a conservative and somehow most Americans have been convinced he’s a commie.

I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you

Don’t do this to me
