UNMUTE 💯 🥺

Audio description: Loud, clear, uninterrupted purring.

one thing i noticed about american sitcoms is that they make it seem like YOU HAVE TO attend these high school reunions and relive your trauma again and again

Why does the KKK have to have the term grand wizard, like every time I want to make a high ranking wizards, I think oh he's the grand wizard, then I remember, that's the leader of the KKK, and I have to change it to royal wizard or something

Not the white European in the notes saying that I should still use the term grand wizard because it makes the KKK seem less serious...

They don't use Grand Wizard anymore, so you could steal it. Also even if they did still use it, fuck the KKK, dilute their ownership of the term. You could also use High Wizard, Lord Wizard, Great Wizard, Chief Wizard, or Master Wizard.

They still use the term, there are living people with the title. And I don't think I, as a white Midwesterner have any right to "reclaim" grand wizard as a term. Why do white people want so badly to be allowed to use KKK terms?

The whole point of the KKK using silly sounding words was as dog whistles that the white press would see as frivolous and ignore while still being able to invoke terror in Black Americans. I have no right to use their language as a white person in some sort of sick reclamation

nobody else doing it like me. particularly because the way i’m doing it is needlessly difficult

If you went to a bar and the bartender was a mousegirl you could ask for a drink and she would balance it on her head and say "for you, it's on the mouse"

the crazy thing about this is that it took one single word to turn it horny. coulda been a normal cute post. coulda taken the high road & conjured a delightful image of a mouse scampering down the bar with a beer ten times its size balanced on its head. but you had to say "mousegirl" and not "mouse." don't pretend this isn't what's going on either i know the score i know what's up. i'm familiar with this sort of semantic trick. you want to fuck down on an anime girl with certain characteristics of a rodent and everyone's gotta know.

recently saw a comment section full of people, primarily women, talking about loving living with their best friend and being sad about having to live separately one day. some people talking about missing living with their best friend, some talking about “getting” to live with their best friend “until” they find partners. saw one person mention that moving out to move in with a partner felt like a divorce. it makes me so genuinely sad… all these people recognizing the joy they can find living outside the norm, letting themself live with a friend instead of a romantic partner, but still feeling like they have to live with a spouse eventually. like it’s not even a decision, just an inevitability.

similarly, it makes me sad when someone shares their happiness from living with a friend with others and the biggest response is people insisting/assuming they must have a secret unrecognized romantic connection. just taking over a moment of joy to insist they’re wrong about their own life and feelings; all to reinforce the lifestyle everyone is already expected to conform to eventually…

#you need to tailor your arguments to people's existing values and priorities if you want to convince them #the flip side is that it's every bit as easy to tailor conservative arguments to convince a leftist audience #so don't get smug #you're not immune to this either <- prev extremely true

cradling the em dash in my hands what the fuck have they done to you

what companies who sell you anti aging stuff don't want you to know is that if you're chill about aging, your perception of attractiveness changes as you get older. there is no "wall" where you suddenly become ugly and unfuckable because in my experience what actually happens is you get into your thirties and suddenly realize that people in their thirties are hot as fuck and the "flaws" that the beauty industry wants you to panic about are a feature not a bug, and based on the std statistics in nursing homes I don't really expect that trajectory to change.

"I hate when the skeletons on decorations aren't anatomically accurate." A Halloween skeleton isn't the same as what's inside you, idiot. It's different. A Halloween skeleton is, like. A guy or something. It's an animal.

If Halloween skeletons had bones like ours instead of hollow bones like that of a bird, they wouldn't be able to play their ribcages like xylophones. You sound so fucking uneducated right now.
