All my posts are "okay to reblog" btw. If it doesnt have any reblogs thats probably because it, um, sucked and nobody liked it

[rockergiirl]

i hate how pervasive the r-word has become again

its like the 2000s to early 2010s again where talking to anyone theres a good chance they'll casually say a slur without any thought

[rockergiirl]

and whats even more annoying now is people who'll try to weasel out of being called out on it

'oh its fine because i'm legally mentally disabled so i can say it' NOT HOW RECLAMATION WORKS

[rockergiirl]

AND SAME WITH DEGENERATE

STOP TALKING LIKE A FUCKING NAZI

[notaplaceofhonour]

Reclamation: taking a pejorative word used to dehumanize you and emptying it of its negative connotations by claiming it for yourself and using it as a positive descriptor

Not reclamation: taking a pejorative word used to dehumanize you and keeping its negative connotations intact by using it as a pejorative against more people

happy one year anniversary to the time i was in vermont in a dorm with a carbon monoxide leak and jacked off to this painting

[sevenmoreminutes]

^my old mutual that got chased of the website for racefaking and making up fake family members that died in the holocaust as well as 1000000 other things like lying about being in special ed as a kid and lying about being in an arranged marriage and lying about getting hunted by the italian mafia

[i-effed-it-all-up-deactivated20]

[rupurteblr]

a couple of addition to this post

[coldthrenody]

another

[maykitz]

remember how utterly inescapable how i met your mother used to be with the memes and references and barney and bro code and wait for it... and then the finale was so hated it vanished overnight

[mozilla-firefucks]

The finale so successfully erased the show from public consciousness, that when people tried to come up with a name for the "extremely popular show with finale so bad that people just immediately stop talking about it" phenomenon, people called it... the Game of Thrones Effect. HIMYM got memoryholed so hard that people forgot it even existed

[bluesardine]

Some great additions from the comments.

happy pride month my friends <3

[nanmarie]

those were the days... Picture the scene: Monty Python's Flying Circus ran from 1969 to 1974. Nothing, I mean nothing, had been seen like this before on TV. To really appreciate their courage and brilliance you need to know something about these days when gay marriage was not even on the horizon and most people would lose their employment if they were outed at work. The first Pride Parade was in 1970 and it was only in 1973 that the American Psychiatric Association in their generosity declared that homosexuality was not a mental disorder. Being LGBTQ+ was gradually decriminalized in various parts of the UK and a bit later in the US starting slowly in the late '60's.

Meanwhile, Monty Python was winning over hearts and minds through the funny bone. Groundbreaking.

[markcat]

I think Graham Chapman, the 4th man to join the scene, being gay and being a member of Monty Python is worth noting. He had a partner, David Sherlock, and was publicly open with his homosexuality as early as 1972. I just think it makes a difference in how Monty Python treated queerness in sketches when one of their members, their good friends and collaborators, is himself gay.

grounding tips for the stressed aspiring tyrant: acknowledge 5 people you can sway to your cause, 4 methods you can use to persuade them (2 violent, 2 nonviolent), 3 people in positions of moderate power you can manipulate and usurp in order to gain access to 2 powerful institutions to destroy, and 1 foundational lie

[iphigeniacomplex]

people are starting to character tag so i’d like to state upfront that this is part of a new branch of pop feminism i’m pioneering called despotette and as such is specifically advice for women trying to break into the world of tyranny, so if you must character tag it’s really only appropriate to do so if the character is a woman, thank you

[yellbug]

i used to follow someone who would reblog this post like 50 times a day and i tried to filter it but because i filtered it using the whole phrase i would see them all anyway but it made the whole post funnier to me so i left it like that and now every time i see this i smile fondly

[miss-hexatrix]

I can't tell you how strange it felt to see a post with this photo attached, bc I also have this post blocked in the exact same way

Though to be fair it's nice to know I'm not alone

[yellbug]

[unfortunatelymerlin]

bbc merlin has a lot of faults but i do think the way they blithely ignored the existence of christianity was very funny of them

[literally-irreverent]

"#'old religion' they said. and then simply said nothing of a new religion" yeah Uther Pendragon, noted athiest. Entirely agnostic court. It's crazy that there's no belief system backing anything up. Like, we're going to get by on vague prophecies but also prophecies are magic which is evil. Divine right of kings but no divinity. Mirrors and mirrors but no windows.

The most PATHETIC lil baby sounds...

[whitebear-ofthe-watertribe]

I love when little creatures who are entirely loved and well cared for have the BIGGEST baby reactions to normal things. Like yes sweet pea, you DO have the hardest life of anyone ever, for sure, and you’re SO BRAVE about this minor inconvenience of *checks notes* having some water touch you

[cephalon-sancti]

There is nothing sadder and more pathetic than a baby marine mammal having to get into the water. They are suffering the most out of any baby animal ever. How dare they be introduced to their natural environment.
