LOL so the other day I was scampering about squeaking and looking for cheese and such when I saw the farmer out in the field and, get this, he was trying to pull a turnip out of the ground, but the turnip was like really big, right, so he couldn’t do it 😅 like he was really struggling. Weak fuckinh farmer. So he calls over his wife and she holds onto his waist and starts pulling too but the turnip is still stuck. So she calls over their kid and she grabs onto her grandma and now all three of them are huffing and puffing but the damn turnip won’t budge. This is one crazy ass root vegetable. So they call over the dog and I’m thinking, girl, this is not going to work. but the dog bites down on the kids pants and starts pulling. It’s like a damn conga line. No dice. The dog starts whimpering and next thing you know the cat wanders over and bites the mutt right on her tail and starts pulling. So I’m laughing my ass off at this point but the cat starts looking at me. And normally we don’t really get on, the cat and me. But there’s this desperation in her eyes. In all of their eyes, really. Like, if I can’t dig up a damn tuber then who am I. What’s the point of it all, if there’s an enormous turnip that’s stronger than me. And I can see the future unfolding in my mind. The cat will never respect the dog again, and dog will never obey the kid, who will probably run away from home to find a new jacked grandma. And the farmers wife will leave him, and the whole damn charade of masculinity will crumble and fall. And I shouldn’t care right. I have no stake in this. This is some funny shit. But how funny would it be if little old me pitched in and the turnip actually came uprooted. I’ve got no ego. nobody respects a gay little mouse in this city. If I don’t make a difference here, no loss. But if I save the day? Can you imagine? Outdid by a mouse? The farmer would be delivering me fresh brie on the daily and the cat would probably have to move to a different area code to escape the mockery. So, in the spirit of cooperation, I grab the cat’s tail, and I give a little tug. Just the one. And I swear to god, it feels like an earthquake. Up comes the turnip, big as a house, and the farmer falls on his ass, and so does his wife, and all down the line. And I hop up on the cats head and scamper up the backs of the team as they catch their breath, and I leap up onto the turnip itself and I take a big bite out of it. And let me tell you: that shit? Tasted like a turnip

it still fucks me up that Misa was in their same suite </3 once upon a time, there were six men...

[kiyomitakada]

[ID: Death Note manga panels, first of the task force (Aizawa, Ukita, Mogi, Matsuda, Soichiro, and L) sitting on floral-patterned sofas surrounding a coffee table and discussing something fervently, second of Misa from the final chapters flouncing delightedly on one of the same-looking floral sofas with the same-looking coffee table and saying over the phone, “I don’t know why, but I’m in a deluxe suite at the Teito Hotel. Must be their way of apologizing or something. It’s great!” She is alone in the room.]

Sometimes you mention that progressives (liberals, leftists, whatever) have their own biases and knee-jerk reactions that make certain topics difficult, which gets misinterpreted as 'both sides are equally bad.'

No, there is an obviously, heinously, and indisputably worse side. But I think it's mature to look in the mirror and say 'yes there are things I do that get in my own way.'

We're within a week or two of the predicted time where the US will have burned through the reserve cushion of oil that's kept gas and diesel prices relatively normal in the US. After that, sure we'll be producing more or less as much oil as usual, but since said oil is pumped and refined and traded by private companies, we'll be competing for it with the highest bidders globally.

Genuinely nothing like this has ever happened before, and nobody knows exactly what will happen, but it's going to be bad. Really bad. The entire modern world runs on oil, gas, diesel, and petrochemicals, at every level. Just ...I don't know. Take a deep breath.

[rederiswrites]

I wrote this from a US-specific perspective, but to be clear, this is absolutely not a US only problem. If anything, the distinction is that for once it's also our problem.

please picture a long table filled with catered food. trays upon trays of sandwiches. a vat of macaroni and cheese. plates full of brownies. now picture that next to this table there is a small table with a sign that says "gluten friendly" and it contains: bags of chips; some fruit; some rolls; salsa and mustard; a tray of lettuce and onion; and a tray of cold cuts. i think it also contained falafel (spelled falfel on the sign declaring it to be vegan) at some point, but that was gone by the time i made it downstairs, and i don't think it was gluten free in the first place based on the signage. the vegans get half a table and the gluten free people (including celiacs!) get half a table and obviously this will be enough for all of them! so anyway there was only one roll left by the time i got to the event, not that much later than everyone else.

and as i stood there processing the fact that this was what people meant when they repeatedly told me there would be food for me--that this was all that what was available despite there being at least two other celiacs in attendance--someone wandered over from the long table with a sandwich and started adding cold cuts to it. there was absolutely nothing stopping or even deterring people from contaminating the nominally gluten free food. sorry, "gluten friendly". god forbid we have to make a real safety claim instead of using a cutesy term that doesn't mean much.

in other news i didn't eat for like 11 hours yesterday.

Hey pro gamer tip for any depressed teenagers obsessed with literary romanticism what like I were once: So the world actually hasn't changed actually. Whatever shit u read about in books that stirred your soul and makes you sigh and go "Oh, if only we still had [thing] in this soulless modern world" is still there. You're right abt the modern world being soulless and empty and dumb but it was like that back in the history times too it's always like that. You can go have all kinds of adventures that are just as interesting and exciting as like, I dunno, viking stuff. You can still go do great deeds or what the fuck ever, we're in the same tale still Mr. Frodo, et cetera. But a lot of the time the cops aren't gonna like it so you have to also have to learn abt security culture

i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.

able bodied people love to forget that they're only temporarily able bodied. everyone, unless they die early for whatever reason, will become disabled in some way. you're not invincible. you're not "doing something right" that the rest of us failed at. time is coming for you. everyone becomes disabled eventually.

whenever people complain about a white male character being erased or ignored or forgotten or underrated or w/e i can't help but laugh bc it's like wow..... the cards were stacked in his favour & he still couldn't hack it..... that's so embarrassing for him

[aizawashuichi]

my new Misa headcanon is that she sexualises herself and dresses always to attract the male gaze to compensate for the lack of sexual attraction she feels towards others, because eventually their attraction will have to rub off her, right? but she also hates the idea of that and that's exactly why she keeps going for Light. he isn't attracted to her, she knows that, and she can continue trying to adhere to this Womanly Duty, comforted by the fact that it will never happen

The country of Norway, for whom the prime minister is named Jonas Gahr Støre

A man I'VE MET, shaken his hand, and walked with him during Pride

THIS country, is doing harm to transgender people. And they're doing it intentionally.

Did you know you can contact the office of the Prime minister

Yknow I'm sure they don't get that many emails.

They probably should. They need to care. Let's see if they care about the harm they're intentionally causing.

Or more specifically:

Let's see what they say when they have to say it out loud to every queer person on the planet.

Jonas. You're really gonna walk with me at Pride

And pull this shit?

"why do men watch porn instead of just having sex with their girlfriends?" is already silly for numerous reasons, but seeing it being used as like. a feminist talking point is so crazy to me because like of the implication that being in a relationship means being available for sex all the time, which you know. doesn't feel great for women i think.

im sooo tired of seeing skinny people on the internet. get off my screen and go to the club

[bellaswansong]

seriously i need all of you to lock in and be ready for the next type of queer person they tell you to hate. i need you to be ready to post positivity and support in their tags. i need you to be ready to support your friends with that identity. i need you to be ready to shut down exclusion when someone tries to bring it into your space. can we do that? can we all do that?
