I'm here for fun and community not to rp a mega corporation's underpaid social media intern

I’ve known this post longer than I’ve known most of my friends

“you’re such a ray of sunshine!” thanks! one day i chose to act happy and then i kept choosing it over and over and over and over until the neurological pathways formed like desire paths in the thicket. i dug and clawed my nails into the grooves of my brain and carved out joy. i retouch it every day.

I would take a job pushing the Sisyphus rock if it paid 20 an hour and I could wear my headphones

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

The modern American Democratic Party needs more rednecks and hillbillies to succeed, I am so serious. They need to do more to target rednecks and hillbillies and break down their white collar elitist image Fox News has been harping on. It’s crazy, it’s not true, the Republican Party is doing everything in its power to ensure the rich get richer and the poor and middle class get poorer but if they keep hearing “GOP is the party of backwoods middle Americans who work for a living.” type of slop slop and they turn on the television and see Gavin fucking Newsome, they’re going to keep voting red mindlessly.

And the thing is you see the mainstream candidates the Democratic Party is putting out and you’re like “Oh yeah, that is definitely a guy who’s parents went to college, that is a person who has never had to eat cup ramen to survive, there is nothing about that person that seems relatable.” if they’re going to keep pumping out ‘safe’ moderate white guys, they need to choose ones who look and sound like actual human beings.

wasn't that the guy from maine with the nazi tattoos

the issue is that the actual "working class everymen" right now would want to murder trans people for existing, hates lgbtq people in general in fact, & thinks lesbians just havent met a "good enough man" yet. oh also they're virulently racist. like i see where ur coming from but right now basically everyone outside the cities in America are kind of doomed

Hey, I think you might be massively classist and the exact reason that the Democratic Party and leftist movements keep failing to sway large swaths of the population. I say this as a transgender person from rural North Carolina. We exist everywhere and we have friends and family who love us. Automatically assuming that everyone who isn’t from a city and is working a blue collar job is racist, transphobic, homophobic and irredeemably stupid and backwards is a great way to make sure they stop listening to you.

talking about stuff like prison reform or the SO registry really quickly makes you realize how many peoples political ideology boils down to "look, just tell me who the bad people are so I know who we should be killing."

and this is not unique to one side of the political spectrum btw. right or left, authoritarian or anarchist, all are susceptible to the rhetoric of "who is the acceptable target?"

I do think it's kind of funny how john green wrote a book about tuberculosis that brought a lot of renewed attention to the subject and he's since become the darling of the tb world, speaks at tb conferences, my dad and every other tb researcher I know is absolutely smitten with him, and they'll be like "we love this guy! have you heard of him??" and I have to be like well yes, I have. for other reasons

you people aren't CASTING

whoever wrote this paper has the funniest phrasing possible

A CENTURY AGO

That’s why you should never accept the excuse “Well it was a different time.” They knew it was wrong. They always knew.

not to be a snitch, but if this is happening in the US you can also straight up report Brenda for a fine up to $250k under the Indian Arts and Crafts Act.

Holy fuck

Watching the wagtails harass much larger animals is one of my favourite things. They are tiny bastards and I love them.

Willy wagtails are down to fight absolutely every single thing they have ever met. World’s most aggressive bird, mighty warrior who dreams of nothing but slaughter, that’s only the size of a mouse if it was a big mouse.

i can't believe i'm saying this but i'd rather you guys go see the new minions movie than live action moana

bigs my eyes

bigs my eyes at you

bigs my beautious my gorgeous eyeballs

the weather determines if I’m going to be evil
