weirdos who are harping on about ~covid tyranny~, still, in november 2022, are absolutely on a different planet. look around! you won! no one wears a mask and you dont have to either! you dont have to get vaccinated! no one is even trying to make you anymore! the most vulnerable have been fully forced out of public life so that you can breathe on everyone at cub foods! you got every single thing you want and you’re still crying about “covid nazis” … you are delusional. you are tripping. the dynamic you have created in your mind, in which you are a rebellious scion of individual liberty in a world gone mad with excess caution, does not reflect the conditions of reality. it is embarrassing fantasy. there’s nothing more embarrassing than a jerkoff on the winning team who can’t accept a world where they’re not a righteous underdog. as much as you insist that you don’t want to “live in fear,” it is your own obvious terror of changing your behavior that has defined the trajectory of the past three years. please shut the fuck up forever.

#probably not what op is referring to but i keep thinking about those thinkpieces that are like #'straight cis men HATE astrology because they are all obsessed with facts and logic and reason and rationality >:( #meanwhile women are intuitive and spiritual and emotional and have a better grasp on astrology <3' THIS IS TRAD SHIT. THIS IS MISOGYNISTIC #YOU'RE SAYING THE SAME SHIT CONSERVATIVE MISOGYNISTS HAVE SAID ABOUT MEN AND WOMEN FOR CENTURIES AND JUST TACKING ON 'AND WOMEN ARE GOOD'

How old were you at the lowest point in your life? Reblog this and put it in the tags, plus your current age maybe. I'm trying to see something.

U.S. conservatives always talk about creating jobs but get SO MAD whenever anyone mentions banning prison labor like imagine the insane ammout of jobs that would be created literally overnight if companies in your country had to actually employ people instead of using slave labor from people that got caught with weed 10 years ago.

a weird amount of Fandom People but internet leftists in general seem to be completely unable to separate discomfort from harm

[loumandliker]

there’s like zero consideration for what the scale or context is or if the discomfort is based on anything objectively harmful it’s just one person saying “i’m uncomfortable” with whatever motivations they might have and suddenly it’s causing grave harm to an entire group of marginalized people and anyone who doesn’t agree is a bad malicious person

[loumandliker]

this is how we get people banning depictions of pre op/non op trans people from trans zines bc one person is Uncomfortable with it and then it gets phrased as like. we are banning anything but the most perfect of cis passing trans people as a way of Combating harmful trans fetishizing and we are eternally grateful to this one guy who was uncomfortable with anything else. this is a real example btw

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

People should be uncomfortable occasionally. It’s good for you.

I am never inclined to make fun of tumblr's cheesy attempts to make money and generally support them even if you consider them cringe. Websites need money to operate and tumblr needs to find a way to make money consistently or it will cease to exist. I do not want tumblr to cease to exist, and the most common alternative method of making money is to collect and sell all of our personal data, which I do not want either. Websites that can support themselves via people willing to spend $25 bucks to commit to a bit is a sign of a brighter and more sustainable version of the internet.

I respect that Tumblr staff have realized we won't pay for the usual Social Media Stuff but we will absolutely pay for weird unhinged gremlin nonsense like useless blue checks and lots of crabs.

I'm willing to reward them for this.

I know it’s kind of suggesting it but this is exactly why businessmen (people) should not be politicians. Running a country is to benefit the people running a business is to benefit shareholders. Their “skills” are not interchangeable

[flipocrite]

Framing the USPS as a poor business rather than a public service is propaganda.
