can't leave food unattended when you *start* cooking it because what if it cooks faster than you were expecting. can't leave food unattended when it's over halfway done because obviously the longer it cooks the more it's at risk of burning.

it's good that people only call things thought terminating cliches that actually are thought terminating cliches because if people started using it to shut down legitimate arguments then we'd have to start saying that "thought terminating cliche" is a thought terminating cliche

ofc i have nothing against misandry, but it is worth keeping in mind that i, a trans woman, fairly routinely get sexually harassed by cis women who call themselves “misandrists”.

Misandry isn’t the actual issue or the motivator. But is a reminder that if you are tme feminist you have an obligation to keep an eye out for transmisogyny among your peers.

Let me check this list again. 1071 196 35 158 264 388 552 707 893 1069 1257 1481 1717 1982 2225 2486 2747 2996 Okay, so let’s go step-by-step: First, I’ll look at the numbers in order: 1071, 196, 35, 158, 264, 388, 552, 707, 893, 1069, 1257, 1481, 1717, 1982, 2225, 2486, 2747, 2996. I’ll start with 1071. When I think of 1071, I think of “1 thousand, 0 hundred, 7 tens, 1 unit” – which is 1071. So that makes sense.

i do post about bugs a lot and i do find them cutes but in real life unfortunately some of them startle and frighten me with their movements, especially some types of spiders

[absinthe-and-alabaster]

usually i am at peace with the kind that just stays in their web, but, unfortunately this does not apply to very large spiders whose webs are being whipped around at the very quick wind speeds that are typical of the place i currently live

just once I want to see a good post critiquing makeup culture that doesn’t turn out to be made by some janky radfem blog

oh hey!! I’m not a janky radfem I can do it myself!

makeup culture is wack and normalizes a ludicrously high bar as the bare minimum women can do. I saw a “lazy"makeup tutorial the other day that listed 22 separate goddamn products. you’re supposed to buy and know how to use 22 different things on your face just for the privilege of being considered lazy and that’s uuuuuuh what’s the word? bullshit.

Really, five products could work, even 3. Just frame the face, eyes, lips, and you’re done.

0 products also works great

because I’m gonna be real here, the idea that 22 products is a minimum sucks but it’s really upsetting that any amount of makeup is the bare minimum at all

I would really just suggest some powder foundation, concealer, mascara and lipgloss/lipstick, or tbh just mascara works too, but that’s up to you

I’m sorry if I didn’t express this clearly enough in the original post but I’m not really looking for more concise makeup regiments. my intention was to point out how it’s Bad that makeup is considered a bare minimum at all, regardless of individual feelings on the matter

no face should be “required” to have “a minimum” of makeup. makeup has no health benefits and does nothing but fill the pockets of companies that prey on women and our insecurities.

makeup should not be seen as hygiene because it isnt. get that shit out of your head.

this post: makeup culture is ridiculous and 22 products should not be considered a minimum requirement for someones face. no one should have to do that

the notes: so like……. what youre saying is……. we need to make the minimum about 5 or 6 instead… i gotcha

Really the only makeup you need is eyeliner but that’s just my personal opinion

okay

where did we lose you

why are people like this

what the hell is going on

i believe in you Binface. you can do it. this could be your moment.

[penny-anna]

Please god it would be so funny

[penny-anna]

there is no downside to voting for Count Binface. its not taking away from other candidates bcos they aren't any and the more votes he gets the stupider Farage looks.

[penny-anna]

for people out of the loop:

Nigel Farage is the leader of Reform UK, a far right party who are currently in the process of a serious bid to become the UK government. they are just straight up evil.

Count Binface is an intergalactic space warrior with a bin on his head. he likes to run as a novelty candidate in general and mayoral elections. a big thing he likes to do is run as a candidate against the incumbent prime minister:

(Also pictured: Boris Johnson, Elmo)

Anyway, in brief:

Nigel Farage is currently in the midst of a big scandal about his finances

He has decided to deal with this by 1) making a show of nobly resigning from parliament and then 2) immediately running in the resulting by-election

He has stated that he is letting 'the people' judge his actions and implied that if he wins that will prove that he has been exonerated in the court of public opinion

His goal was presumably to get a big resounding win over the other parties, proving that The People still love him.

the other parties have thus far decided that this is a 'vanity election' and, well, there is one very easy way to ensure that he will not beat any of them, and that is simply not to play.

and as a result the only person who has so far confirmed they are running against him is Count Binface. no matter the outcome this makes Nigel Farage look like, u know, a fucking clown.

[butterflyslinky]

So what happens if Count Binface actually wins? Does he join Parliament? Does he have to take the bin off his face?

[penny-anna]

I've seen some people saying he would have to give up his title but it would seem that is no longer the case as of 1999; so, no, he can keep his ceremonial bin if he wishes.

Important to note also that Count Binface is the alter ego of comedian & political satirist Jon Harvey who seems to be an intelligent individual with reasonable politics. As I said no real downside.

[penny-anna]

The no hats rule clearly does not apply to him. He is not wearing a hat. It's a bin.
