I keep using my girlfriend with unusual work hours to get out of coworker interactions and happy hours and hanging out.

But now the company holiday party is upon us.

And I’ve been lying about the girlfriend.

I suddenly really empathise with the characters in Hallmark Christmas movies.

I like that people have two reactions to this post.

Reasonable: “just say she couldn’t make it!”

Chaotic: FAKE DATING AU

Well, which one is it going to be?

And so it begins

having the DMV area Craigslist bookmarked has never come in handy before but now

Update, Craigslist has flagged my post as inappropriate.

Apparently you can’t solicit a date as a “gig”

I now see my mistake

Update: a date has been acquired. This is true lesbian solidarity in action.

justluckyiguess

My wife has now read this and wonders how baby gays are even meeting and mating

Can confirm I am meeting and mating just fine 😂

By the way I’m in a relationship with this woman now

20 Amazing Facts About Farm Animals.

#1 - Pigs are considered the fifth most intelligent animal in the world — even more intelligent than dogs — and are capable of playing video games with even more focus and success than chimps!

#2 - Cows have great memories, and can learn and respond to their names.

#3 - Chickens are able to recognize over 100 individual faces, not only of their fellow chickens, but also of humans.

#4 - Mother pigs sing to their young while nursing, and newborn piglets recognize their own names and run to their mothers’ voices.

#5 - Sheep wag their tails to show affection.

#6 - Chickens use over 200 distinct noises for communication.

#7 - Like humans, cows form close friendships. They choose to spend much of their time with two to four preferred companions.

#8 - Hens begin communicating with their chicks before they even hatch. When the babies are still inside their shells, the mother hen clucks softly to them and they chirp back.

#9 - Chickens pass down knowledge from generation to generation.

#10 - Fish eavesdrop on one another to gather information.

#11 - Pigs enjoy snuggling close to one another and prefer to sleep nose-to-nose.

#12 - Cows get excited when they solve problems. Upon successfully finding food hidden behind a closed door, their heartbeats go up. Cows also have a similarly happy response to being released after a long period of confinement.

#13 - Chickens can empathize with peers in danger, and use their previous experiences to inform decision making.

#14 - Cattle like to sleep close to their families, and the sleeping arrangements of a group of cows reflect their respective rankings in the social hierarchy.

#15 - The cognitive abilities of fish are impressive — they learn faster than dogs!

#16 - Crustaceans, such as lobsters and crabs, are able to remember painful stimuli and avoid certain situations based upon negative past experiences. They also form social hierarchies with individuals close to them.

#17 - Pigs have excellent object-location memory. If they find grub in a specific spot, they’ll remember to look there next time!

#18 - Goats communicate with each other by bleating. A mother goat and her baby, or “kid,” will recognize each other’s calls from the moment the baby is born.

#19 - Pigs have a sophisticated sense of direction. They can find their way home from huge distances away.

#20 - Turkeys enjoy hearing music, and sometimes they’ll chirp along. Next time you’re looking to start a sing-along, consider inviting some feathered friends!

White people like it so we just gotta keep rewriting history like they invented it, right? I’ve also heard people say conversations about hummus and bubble tea are “the whitest conversations ever.” Are y’all serious?

SNAPS FOR KRISTA SUH!!!

screamswithbuffalo

White feminism doesn’t mean white women, it means being exclusionary, which is what the pussy hat is to trans women. Not to mention that women are more than their genitals.

mithliya

white feminism is feminism that centres white women. a huge portion of trans people are white, so coopting that term and using it to refer to them is gross. and the ‘pussy hat’ is not exclusionary! it was created to refer to an issue specific & relevant to female bodies! not everything needs to centre trans women!

meanwoman

“White feminism” is an easy way for them to derail important conversations and all they love to do is project project project.

deputy-shayy

@screamswithbuffalo no dumbshit comments from the anti-feminist crowd, please.

tetraterezi

Its always “what about transwoman” and never anything about transmen.

You could make a half assed argument that pussy hats are offensive to dysphoric transmen.

But those would be Female thats just Not Important.

wahbegan

WHITE FEMINISM DOESN’T MEAN WHITE WOMEN IT MEANS BEING EXCLUSIONARY I’M FUCKING SCREAMING you just gon come straight out and admit it, huh? Then don’t fucking call it white feminism pretending like you give a shit about women of color and aren’t just using them to further your own agenda you stupid assholes this accidental hero literally coming in here and straight-up saying “Yeah no it’s not a race thing we just mean it excludes us we say white feminism cause it gets people’s blood up” well DONE buddy i salute your stupidity thank you for your service

Hi hello could we please make sure that no one watches this and that it flops. Moffat can't get back on his bullshit in 2020 let's all leave him back in the 10s thank you very much.

Just a few reminders

FUCK THIS GUY

specificallyaudomarusfridia

This is the same man who:

joked about the Ninth Doctor sexually assaulting Nancy from the Empty Child (watch the behind the scenes, he openly jokes about it, and basically calls Nancy a tramp for having been a teen mother, despite the hinting that the situation wasn’t one of choice),

wrote Madame du Pompadour as a sex fiend when she suffered from vaginismus and suspected endometriosis to the point that she would barely even kiss Louis -- the King kept her because he was in love with her mind, but none of that came across -- this would be a fact the Doctor knew well, because he fucking reads,

said if RTD hadn't put Rose in another Universe he would have killed her off because she was not classy enough or good enough to be the Doctor's wife,

said Rose was the sort of character you were shocked wasn’t teen pregnant but had clearly been around,

said he chose Karen Gillan for Amy when he saw her in the hallway, and she was more attractive and skinny than the actress that had hit the mark in her audition

calls women he finds unattractive ‘dumpy’

is fatphobic

is racist

is homophobic

is misogynist

joked about Rose’s abusive ex boyfriend ‘’just being sick of her’’

joked that her being lost to Pete's World was "convenient" for the Doctor, so his cloying needy girlfriend could be gone from him,

said that the most romantic part of the Time Traveller’s Wife, the problematic book that he based River Song off of, was when she purposefully met the Time Traveller before he ever met her so that she could lie about him marrying her and make it so that he purposefully continued meeting her thinking she was his wife out of love -- and. look. what. he. wrote, he literally said “if you watch it, you’ll see that he never actually married her, River isn’t the Doctor’s wife but he just lets her think she is”

said the part in the Time Traveller’s Wife where she had sex with him before his vasectomy so she could get pregnant by him despite his insistence to her that he didn't want children ever is ‘so women, right?’

is rumoured to have been handsy on set with his female actresses,

made multiple comments about how women try to trap men

wrote a scene where the Doctor forces a kiss from a lesbian woman

joked about Amy Pond not being as sexy if she was poc

joked about how the Doctor was supposed to save the universe if she was menstruating

made abrasive comments about Jodie being cast as the Doctor

called David Tennant ‘overrated’

made all of his actors sign an agreement that they could never reprise their roles on DW without his express permission

joked about asexuality not existing re: sherlock, saying it was an excuse

said he only casts female actresses that he finds attractive

called his wife a whale and said she deals with everything to do with the kids because that’s her job

joked about bisexual people being selfish

joked about lesbians still liking men

He was the worst thing to come to Doctor Who, and the amount of people who defended him as “well he was just kidding!” split the fandom. This man is a crusty old bigot who is way too high on himself. Do not support him, don’t watch his stupid shows, he doesn’t deserve the money.

I just unironically love how "He thought David Tenant was overrated" is up there with his seriously disgusting comments.

It's not he thought, it's that he said it, while DT was his employee, and he regularly made mean comments about his staff.

lesbian-top-memes

Real shit I’m gonna need you guys to stop calling yourselves allies to lesbians if you:

Are bisexual and think you can be butch/femme

Call lesbians transphobic for not wanting to sleep with trans women

Treat he/him and nb lesbians like shit because they don’t fit your made-up idea of what a lesbian looks like (spoiler: a lesbian is a female homosexual! Doesn’t matter what their gender is!)

Demonise butches for perpetuating ‘toxic masculinity’/Demonise femmes for ‘conforming to the patriarchy’

Call us predatory for expressing our sexual desire for women

Imply that lesbians who bottom should be open to penis (e.g “if you like strap-on why not dick? They’re the same thing!!”)

lesbian-top-memes

I see so many normie blogs only liking this post and I gotta say if you really care, you should be reblogging it. I get it, you’re afraid of being called a terf, you’re afraid people won’t like you. Well step into our shoes for a moment. We’re constantly under that scrutiny, no matter what we do, we can never win. So if you actually stand by lesbians you need to stop being afraid of being judged and stand with us and call out lesbophobia when you see it, not just read this list and be like ‘well I don’t do any of these things so I’m all good’

lezzyfeinberg

this is so infuriating because “men, women, gender neutral” is clearly the ideal loo-options? why not just stick to that rather than this bollocks?

I wouldn't feel comfortable there at all.

Women are sexualised from infancy. They are viewed as less from the womb, before they even have fingers, hair, or lungs. They are bone tired as a fetus, before they even have bones.

Discussions of their impending marriages, courtships, and future children begin in infancy, before their heads no longer have soft spots.

Before their first words, they have already been constantly dressed and put together in order to show off their looks, and fashion.

Before they can even use the toilet on their own or speak, they are taught that their ‘No’ doesn’t matter as much as their brother’s does.

Before they know what they like, they have been told their entire life what is acceptable to like.

Before they’ve discovered what their bodies truly are, they have received messages by the millions on why they should hate it.

Before they’ve had a chance to naturally discover sexual attention, they have been informed in millions of ways why it is shameful for them, but not for the boys. They are wrong to have desire, but they should be desirable. They are wrong to engage in sex, instead it is something that must be done to them. It must be begrudging, and solely after legal ownership of her had been signed off and she’s been handed over by her father to another adult male.

She will work twice as hard in school for half the credit, and will still be treated as the go to assuager of feelings and glorified coffee fetcher when she can be.

Her body parts will all be legislated, and her autonomy will be stripped before her first breath, but she will begin to truly take notice when she is holding a stick with urine on it and begging gods she doesn’t believe in for a mulligan.

She won’t know when she first knew that her safety was more reliant on the sun than any other star in the sky, the keys between her fingers feel like she may have been born with them there, she has put them there so many times.

She will be spoken about and over by men so many times her saliva will taste of the blood drawn from a million cheek and tongue bites to keep them from making a cutting rejoinder, making her pay for it, or it resulting in violence.

At her weariest she will fight to ignore that too many parts of her day involve walking on eggshells around men out of an instinctive fear that they will become violent with her if she is not performative. It is bred in her after millennia of other women with the same experience in different settings. She will ignore how many of those days she has had.

Women are born bone tired, and when we die, we finally rest.

Getting Out. (practising my editing)

Happy Yule, Thirteen is gay, fa la la la la…~

Thirteen x Tardis, because Jodie’s latest photoshoot is amazing. I’ve been trying to up my edit game.

All of you radical feminists need to be sent off to an isolated nunnery led by your arch radfem, which should be in the middle of a forest in a desolate land, away from men.

Why a nunnery? That sounds religious. Middle of the forest away from men sounds great, though! You know how much foraging I’d do? How many glowy night creatures I’d get to see? Don’t threaten me with a good time!

venus-shaver

Hell yeah we do!

Oh nooo don’t send me to live with a bunch of radfems in the woods away from any men, my worst nightmare is being surrounded by smart women nooo

itisthefunpolice

Y'all: “But what if, as a punishment, we gave female separatists what they want?”

Female Separatists:

then go away! stop trying to fuck things up for people that actually matter!

Oh, if only you fools would fucking let us! We had Michfest, and look what happened to that. You can’t even fucking let us have shelters to ourselves. You want us to go away? Stay the fuck out of our spaces. This is literally the reason there’s a problem to begin with, that men couldn’t stay the fuck out of spaces women built for ourselves.

it is trivial to buy land in the middle of nowhere and do subsistence farming. if you want to leave society bc of the bad evil men go do it!

and cry some fucking more about michfest! it never stops being funny!

I’m just going to leave this here for all to see.

thesinisterspinster

If its trivial @myriadcecaelia then why dont you buy us the land? Also willing to bet they have no idea how difficult su sistance farming actually is.

I would rather you all die, so I’m not wasting my money on y'all in any way that would encourage you to continue living. go fund it yourself instead of waiting for a “man” to give you the money for it

thesinisterspinster

Yeah surprise 🙄 well i sincerely hope you never need help geting away from some creepy ass dude. Also 1000% you would love me if you met me in person.

I would rather hang around literal rapists than a terf

thesinisterspinster

Yeah we know all about how you support rapist. But thanks for being clear and upfront about it at least

“terfs r worse than rapists” isn’t supporting rapists you retarded dyke

radcybergoth

A rape supporter AND an ableist A N D a homophobe? Y’all really just expose yourself huh

manhatingdyke

This motherfuckers blog just screams MRA. How you gonna be a female MRA?

Oh, FeMRAs have been around for a while. Karen Straghan is one that comes to mind, but she wasn’t the only one. They used to hang out on A Voice for Men and elsewhere in the manosphere. Many of them were quite nasty individuals. You see a lot of the same behaviour from trans-stanning women. Including sexual assault apologia and justifying other male violence against women.

manhatingdyke

Yo nvm. This a whole ass racist ass man who openly defends incest so being a MRA ain’t shocking at all.

Yeah, not sure why he’s got “tranny faggot” in his bio, but this is mitoticcephalopod, who is also apparently Zylphia Sepiida, whose real name I am told is Gabriel Petitti.

nanasamantha-deactivated2025020

Yeah that jackass blocked me and I can see I'm better off for it. He has no problems jumping onto women's posts and telling them how they should identify.

IMPORTANT

@flurbejurbvondurp

This is so fucking stupid. Why can’t artists and writers even give the option of pay? It’s not like anybody is holding a gun to reader’s heads forcing them to donate. It’s donated money! You’re telling me Article 13 removes people’s option to even donate???

thebibliosphere

Article 13 is causing all sorts of bullshit, but this is nothing new for Ao3 and it’s important for folk to know. Writers or anyone hosting content on Ao3 should never ever link back to a ko-fi or patreon or even mention needing donations due to legal restrictions placed on Ao3 in order to exist. If you are found out or reported, they can delete your account.

So the way Ao3 works? Is that the only way they can protect us from content creators and their legal teams, is to be like “hey, look, this is transformative work for fun! It earns no money!” And that’s how they get around what many authors still in this day and age think of as plagiarism and defemataion.

It’s actually in Ao3′s Terms of Services, not because they are monsters who don’t want you to thrive, but because it’s the only way to protect fan creators from the proverbial wolf at the door. I’m just old enough to remember when Anne Rice and Star Wars were going after people and filing official take downs for fan works and threatening to sue people. I know actual people who got real letters telling them to take down their fanzine or else.

And every time I see someone creating a patreon or ko-fi for the fanfic, my heart jumps up into my mouth. Like sure, let people know you have those things? But don’t have tiers that say things like “fanfic updates”. And for the love of god never post links to them in your Ao3. @deadcatwithaflamethrower nearly lost their account some years ago because they mentioned having a donation drive on their tumblr and someone reported them.

nandamai

How, HOW did we get to a point in fandom where fanfic has to be free to survive is no longer basic common knowledge?

You literally cannot accept money (in the form of personal gain and profit) to create media for things you do not own because that is the thing that has kept fanfic legal since it became a thing. Fanfic is either free or it is theft of intellectual property. How are people literally arguing that they should make profit off something owned by someone else wtf happened to this site

rebelle-capitan

As someone who owns intellectual property formally registered with the Library of Congress, THANK YOU. Yeah, I get wanting to be paid for your endeavours, but making money off someone else’s work is STEALING.
