Polyamory

Reblog if you’re polyamorous/open to polyamory in the future/in a polycule or open to one/interested in polyamory I want to see how many of us there are

And like if you think polyamory is okay, can be healthy, and doesn’t “go against human nature”

#get with the program the new humor is benevolent surrealism (x)

[agentsnark]

I always wanted to know what to call it.

[froborr]

This is something I’ve been meaning to talk about, and I may do a full blog post at some point, but here’s a capsule version:

The Benign Violation Theory of humor, which is probably the best one out there, suggests that something is perceived as funny when it is simultaneously perceived as violating how the world “should” work and as benign. Something like the “gun” meme, for example, is funny because it violates our sense of how a joke should progress, and at the same time it’s harmless. 

Racist/sexist/etc shock humor violates our sense of how the world work–in either a “that’s not true!” or “you’re not allowed to say that!” way–and therefore whether you find it funny is based on whether you find it benign, which is to say either you think it’s harmless or you don’t care about the people it harms. (This is the root of the punch up/kick down distinction–jokes that punch up are funnier than jokes that kick down because the people they target are less vulnerable and therefore less likely to experience harm.)

So yes, science agrees that if you think racist jokes are funny, the reason is that you don’t care about the feelings of the people the joke is about. There’s a word for that.

Watch out for this disturbing new trend in job interviews

Beware of 'work-life balance tests.'

Are you willing to work weekends? Holidays? Through the birth of your child? Until you collapse?

It’s the hot new thing in job interviews: Testing whether candidates are willing to sacrifice everything — their home lives, their families, their health — for the good of their company.

The Muse recently wrote that we should be aware of “work-life balance ‘tests'” during interviews, highlighting the chief executive of Barstool Sports, Erika Nardini, who reportedly texts job applicants interviewing with the company on weekends. Nardini said she does this “just to see how fast you’ll respond,” in an interview with The New York Times. She expects to be contacted back “within three hours,” she elaborated. “It’s not that I’m going to bug you all weekend if you work for me, but I want you to be responsive. I think about work all the time,” Nardini said. “Other people don’t have to be working all the time, but I want people who are also always thinking.”

It was also reported recently that Vena Solutions CEO Don Mal asks candidates if they’d “leave [their] family at Disneyland to do something that was really important for the company?” He expects them to say yes.

these questions are mortifying yes, but remember people, you can lie your fucking ass off, land that job, and then when they ask you to leave your family at disney land for something important for the job, you respond “sorry, I’m at disney land”

I want to know the context and the result of this scene because as this cap stands alone it really pisses me off. I really hope that this episode comes round and Velma gets some well deserved confidence because this scene by itself if taken just the way it is, reads as someone wrote this to tell anyone who doesn’t fit the ‘staple of beauty’ like daphne or w/e thin skinny long haired perfectness people ascribe to beauty, that they should think they aren’t pretty.

they are using velma’s lips to say that velma isn’t pretty and that’s just gross. It makes anyone who identifies with Velma believe that they can’t be pretty because Velma thinks Velma isn’t pretty. I hate this scene by itself.

please, someone tell me I’m wrong and show me the resolution of this scene and show me that this comes around and velma makes it clear that she thinks she is beautiful.

How Independence Day Clothing Is Reinventing the Way Children With Autism Get Dressed

Fashion and technology converge for all the right reasons.

Clothing that can be worn backwards, frontwards, inside out…  It is an alternative for Autistic youths - it has no tags or seams and won’t cause issues because it will be on correctly, no matter how they are put on. Spread the word! http://www.independencedayclothing.com/#!shop/c1ylq

love this!,

[beastmac]

TJIS IS THE EBST THING I HVAE EVER SEEN

[robinontherun]

Their clothing is also described as “sensory-friendly” - it has no scratchy tags, it’s made of very soft fabrics, and it has no buttons or zippers.

[bassmastiff]

I’m not autistic and this sounds absolutely amazing??? all clothes should be like this.  Like, my laziness in putting on clothes aside though, this is really awesome, I’m sure this would put a fuck ton of confidence into autistic people not having to worry if they ‘did it correctly’ 

A+ post.

overwatch didnt have to give us super sentai geek genji but they did. they did

[bassmastiff]

My only problem with this is that... they call him sentai... he’s a toku hero yeah, specifically a henshin by design, even more specifically a Kamen Rider... Unless he got five other colors he’s not really a sentai hero.  I mean fuck, he has a bug look, a scarf, and a fancy belt and much more pronounced armor. He’s a Kamen Rider ;~;

reblog if you would actually date a chubby boy

i see a lot of chubby boys say that they dont feel as though anybody would actually date them; even the ppl that make positivity posts abt chubby boys. being a chubby boy myself, i cant help but to feel the same way.

so, if you would date a chubby boy, not for any fetish purposes, then could you please reblog this? it’d make all of us happy to know that we are loved in a non-fetishized way
