Decadent Sauces

It is truly outright offensive on so many levels these days the way transmascs will use the term "oppression olympics". like even setting aside the obvious, that it is the definition of a thought-terminating cliché, its just...do you really think in an era where transfems are SPECIFICALLY banned from the REAL Olympics, with exceptions carved out ONLY FOR TRANSMASCS, that there might be a better way to talk about this than bringing up the most blatant example of targeted transmisogyny *AGAIN, WITH A CARVEOUT FOR TRANSMASCS*???? That maybe its a bad idea to bring that up????

tbh the fact that cats purr was an unnecessary bonus we don't always acknowledge. they're already cute and baby and little and soft and make silly noises and do funny shit. but they also like to cuddle and make a soothing pleasant noise to indicate they are happy when they cuddle you? huge. huge for the human race.

thank you for coming to my this #mythis

Being able to draw older people as attractive without reducing or erasing the visual signs of aging, and in fact showing that they're attractive because of those signs, is an artistic skill that should be valued so much more. Honestly, it should earn you an immediate fortune because holy fuck is it a rare commodity. There are so many artists who seem to think attractiveness and aging exist in opposition to each other, so they smooth every wrinkle, erase every crease, and de-age the character until they're basically thirty with silver hair. But when an artist can look at crow's feet, smile lines, weathered skin, deep-set wrinkles, and all the little traces of a life well lived and say, "No, that's what makes them beautiful," that's a level of artistic observation and care I wish we celebrated more often.

and fat btw

and balding btw

something i think a lot of white people don't understand is that saying racist antiblack things 'ironically' 'as a joke' 'satirically' or 'as bait' is still... just being racist. as if saying 'bait used to be believable' somehow undoes the disrespect? as if pointing out that its probably a bot or a psyop nullifies the slurs? as if informing me that its a meme/copypasta/reference means you're not at fault for repeating them? as if any of this is okay? it doesn't work like that. why is the hatred and disrespect of black people acceptable background noise for you? why do you find it funny?

THIS IS WHERE THAT FUCKING MEME COMES FROM?!!!!

THIS IS WHERE THAT FUCKING MEME COMES FROM?!!!!

“Why are American kids the sickest of any developed nation?” I dunno, maybe because we have a for-profit medical system, social welfare programs are constantly being undermined, environmental protections have been rolled back, companies are allowed to market any kind of bullshit they want, the housing/cost of living crisis means a lot of children are living in cramped, mold infested shitholes ran by landleeches and- vaccines? Oh, you think vaccines are what is causing it?

Ladies and gents, if you’re ever dating some kind of financebro, ‘entrepreneur about to make it big’, cryptobro type (horrifying, run for your life) and he tries to accuse you of being a gold-digger and only being with him for his money, remind him a man of means does not care about gold-digging because he owns the mines. Do I actually think like this? No. But toxic guys dipping their toes into redpilled manosphere bullshit love throwing around gold-digging accusations to make you feel guilty and this is a better response than placating them.

I will reiterate over and over again that chronically ill and disabled people have always existed. We have evidence Neanderthals took care of members of their community who became disabled after a serious injury or were born with disabilities like Down Syndrome. Yes, many more illnesses ‘just killed you’ before modern medicine but the lack of modern medicine meant there were even more people struggling with chronic ill health. Institutionalization and the stigma around discussing disabilities and illnesses is the reason you think there were fewer people with disabilities and chronic health concerns, not reality. Bad backs, bad lungs, bad stomachs, mobility issues, poor eyesight, poor hearing, countless other things that range from mild annoyances to serious life-limiting disabilities. We have always existed. Pretending like there was a time in history where a sizable portion of the human population wasn’t chronically ill or disabled is historical revisionism.

We should always be thinking “How do we make the world better for disabled people and how can we prevent acquired disabilities like post-viral chronic illness and lifelong injuries from things like motor vehicle accidents?” and not “How do we stop disabled people from surviving and existing in public?”

also earlier this year i was quoted as being unsure if "buddy" was misgendering, and given being called "bud" here i absolutely think it is in this context at least now holy shit

the results are shocking

Turning dog gravity off so they all get whisked away
