One of my least favourite dialogue tropes is when a man tells a woman “you can’t do that” or “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” and she says “why? because I’m a woman and therefore too weak to handle this/can’t take care of myself?” or something to that extent and the guy replies with “no, because everyone who tried that ended up with a bullet in their brain” or something equally reasonable and not gender specific that paints him as the rational not sexist guy and the woman as irrational paranoid feminist who searches for sexism in everything. This whole scenario is built on the idea that sexism is over and women’s fears and suspicions don’t have a leg to stand on. It’s also self-congratulatory pseudofeminism bc it’s supposed to make the viewer/reader/listener feel that in this specific work of fiction women are treated respectfully and as equal with men.

Brief essays like this are why I’m on Tumblr. This is solid untarnished truth.

Mic decided to investigate these claims for themselves and see if this alleged former Trumpian was telling the truth. They set up a $1 recurring donation to the Trump Campaign, and when they tried to cancel it, Mic confirmed that there was no cancelation option.

Not only that, but you could not edit or remove your credit card information on the website.

Mic concluded that the way to stop donating is to call your bank and cancel your credit card. If not, you will be donating to Trump forever.

To be fair, Mic also set up recurring $1 donations to Clinton’s campaign to see if they too tried to trap you into an eternity of donating. Mic noted that it was very simple to cancel donations on Clinton’s website.

Apple is the Starbucks of technology. Hugely popular, cheaply made, and everybody raves about it when it’s not at all the best stuff on the market.

Imagine 8th year harry and draco getting past their animosity

and one night when harry can’t sleep he’s wandering around the castle and stumbles upon draco who also had nightmares, so they kind of just start walking around the castle together at night when they both can’t sleep, and at first they walk around silently but eventually they start stilted conversations that turn into hesitant smiles and then easy banter

and then one night during their walks they come across the mirror of erised, and harry automatically knows what it is, even if the mirror’s image has changed to include a blond standing beside his parents. It makes his heart ache, that he desires something else that is so out of his reach, so he tries to ignore the ache and instead he asks draco what he sees, just a little curious, and draco just gives him a droll look and says “what do you mean, what do i see? it’s a mirror, potter, obviously i see you and me”

The Olympics should have an “average” person compete alongside the athletes in every event so we can appreciate just how talented the contestants are.

remember when actual sunflower harry james potter, who had never had pocket money before, excitedly bought out the candy trolley so he could split the goods with ron weasley, a boy he had just met? i think about that a lot because wow, the first time harry was ever allowed to have something that was just his, his first instinct was to share it.

If a movie bombs at the box office they should release all the footage to see if someone could edit together a better movie.

shoutout to george, fred, and especially ron weasley for realizing that harry was stuck in abusive and unhealthy household and, in spite of the massive trouble they knew they could get in, taking immediate steps to personally see him removed from that environment, something no adult in harry’s life did.

I thought “bee suit” meant like a bee costume until I read the word beekeeping
