Who knows what this is I'm just bored

# none gender with left glitter

shout out to gary lineker for causing an absolute meltdown in both the government and the bbc <3

shout out to ian wright too

in case you're wondering, the bill also prevents illegal migrants accessing help if they end up enslaved.

the bbc chairman was put in place by boris with a whole scandal thing that the torys say is absolutely okay - and the rest of the uk went no it's fucking not

Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think it’s worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of one’s lungs

People in my notes who think I’m repressed or dissociating: you will feel better when you learn emotions are not a binary of Not Feeling It vs Being Overwhelmed By It

Ok but How Do I Do That

I've recently had white women in professional contexts tell me that they were quote "hurt" and "gutted" by what amounted to very minor professional faux pas on my part. I remember reading a white woman academic's essay on Jane Eyre that began with recounting her emotional upset upon having Jane Eyre "taken away from her" by postcolonial / anti-racist scholarship. white women's emotions do have currency in personal and professional spaces in selective contexts, i.e. when wielded against people of colour 🤷🏽‍♀️

Reblog cause FACTS

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

62 8

Absolutely nuts how they made up a number for this satire post and the correction is that reality is *more absurd* than the number they chose

no i’m afraid it’s even worse than that. 62 was correct in 2016 when the original post was made.

Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️

Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.

Thank you to everyone who commented in their tags or messaged me. Indeed, today is “Martin and Bosco Day”. I originally whimsically blazed this photo on 13 July 2022. I never expected Martin and Bosco to travel so far and make so many new friends. The experience has been such a gift for me.

I love my job, but reblogging employment jelly for someone else I love.

please reblog this until i find my true love. i am so alone

update: i'm delighted to report this post has been responsible for at least one person dumping his ass

update: three four people

The impression given to me as a high schooler was that expecting to be able to be a practicing Jew was demanding a privilege, and that I should only ask for it if it didn’t inconvenience anyone else

“plan better” 😵‍💫

Recently in my school district, those three groups did come together to lobby the school board to add their holidays to the school calendar so they’d be days off for everyone! Unfortunately they lost, but I hope they keep trying.

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus

remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play

As a recent user I love finding out shit like this from older users. What the fuck guys???? Why were you USING IT AT ALL?!??

believe it or not, we liked that more

its worth noting that immediately after these updates that made everything better, we were all angry about it

I can’t believe so many terfs are reblogging this shit without realizing that terf rhetoric is one of the main reasons gnc women get harassed in bathrooms and treated as male in the first place lmao, the level of self unawareness is astounding
