Seriously though - fish?

That's not even me complaining about my own income situation or anything. Just like. Thinking about the time someone speculated about the monetary incentives behind my comics, at a time when I had literally no online revenue stream at all.

I've been called petit bourgeois for being a self-published writer and hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

"Online freelancers are petit bourgeois" is LITERALLY the thing the corporations hosting the gig economy use to justify treating their workers like shit 😭

girls love the overgrown megastructure. girls want to live in the overgrown megastructure. girls want to build communities and societies in the overgrown megastructure

tumblr is the website for if you're just someone's weird sister

Melanie Martinez wishes she was Grimes. Grimes wishes she was Bjork. Bjork wishes she was 2 inches tall so she could go inside the computer and have a big adventure

I think the battle is long since lost on what the “-coded” suffix means, but I (old movie guy specifically invested in queer coding) seem to be unable to let go of how annoying I find the fuzzy popular use of the term. This is probably a flaw in my character.

Coding is intentional, it’s a way of communicating indirectly with the audience through a shared language of signs. That’s why it’s called coding, because it’s communicating in code. It isn’t when a thing reminds you of another thing.

“people shouldn’t have to accept the bare minimum-” I agree with that too but we’re at a point where we have to cling to the bare minimum or that will be taken away too

Maybe they get together with U.N.I.T. every now and then, play a few friendlies.

really weird seeing posts on here about bullying by people who don't know how bullies work

like a lot of people on this site have been bullied and so they think they Get How Bullying works. and it's all like "ohhh they wouldn't have bullied me if they knew i was autistic and depressed" and like. even if they somehow didn't assume that, im sure they wouldn't have been nicer to you.

ALSO. "bullies want power and control, they only bully you because they want to feel better about their lives" actually sometimes they bully you because they want to hurt you for fun. by the way

final thoughts for the night. a lot of bullying is done in passing and the bully doesn't usually think much of it. it goes something like: this person has a haircut that i think looks stupid -> "your haircut looks stupid" -> i have to get to math class. it's truly not like people usually go "i am a bully i am going to bully you" it's more along the lines of "you're a freak and im going to let you know because that's the truth and i want you to be embarrassed and hurt and then i'll move on with my day and forget you." the tree remembers but the axe didn't even think about it.

idk who needs to hear this but ‘texting and driving’ actually is about driving & looking at ur phone for any reason including typing new directions into your damn maps app or choosing a song. stop swerving into my lane looking up a playlist to commit vehicular manslaughter to. ‘i wasn’t technically texting’ aint gonna hold up in court babes

So what I think is that there's this default belief in patriarchy that men are superior to women and therefore the "masculine" sphere is superior to the "feminine" sphere. And so, as feminists have fought to expand the number of allowable female activities, men (on the aggregate over generations) have retreated from those activities because they're now seen as "feminine", and so partaking in them is incommensurate with their belief in their own superiority. And, unfortunately, as this has progressed, this has resulted in a lot of men sectioning themselves off from, frankly, everything that actually makes being alive worthwhile. It's a misery spiral, and the only way out is to abandon male supremacy.

#more women in higher education meaning fewer men is incredibly depressing to me. funny in a sad way#what happens when women will finally get into trades? will they just stop working

"decentre trans men" when were trans men ever centred. show me. show me sources. show me what time in history trans men were centred. you cant.

imagine how big you THINK a moose is. now double it. now divide it by three. now add ten. now multiply it by 400. now rotate it clockwise 90 degrees. now convert it to png. mp3. pdf. now call your mom. now take a nap.

I thought this post didn't get its due originally so I'm very pleased to see that it's getting its time in the sun
