perhaps a hot take but even at its most generous i think "if men could get pregnant abortions would be free" is a pretty shallow observation in that it treats the ability to get pregnant as something superfluous to patriarchy. i do take a very socialist view of patriarchy and reproductive autonomy is very much a labor issue. "if (cis perisex) men could get pregnant" is a "what if the moon was made of pudding" issue to me because if cis perisex men could get pregnant, our entire model of society and the production of new workers and also our entire species would be fundamentally different. its not like random happenstance that the people who can get pregnant are treated like property to be controlled, that is literally The Whole Point. you simply cannot separate misogyny and patriarchy from how people's actual bodies function and how they are treated and used by systems of power.

its not a super deep phrase overall. its an attempt to make visible the degree to which (cis)androcentrism shapes what things are viewed as important or normal and at the end of the day "human" in a general sense. which isn't entirely useless on its own, but in that attempt trans and intersex men are harmfully excluded. we can do so much better i promise! this phrase is cathartic for cis women to say and i feel that is largely why it has stuck around for so long and why people who are supposedly pro-trans get so defensive about people criticizing it, or will agree with criticisms and then keep using it.

immortality as theft (you have to steal life from something else) immortality as parasitism (there is something else inside You that is keeping you alive and you become less of yourself more and more the longer it stays in you) immortality as violence (everything is trying to kill you because everything is supposed to die and the universe will always try to find a way to right the wrong that is You) you understand

#at least once a month I think about that one post about laminating a paper towel#and how that makes it immortal but also forever prevents it from fulfilling its true purpose#yes you will live. but at the cost of everything that makes you You

they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.

[servicebunny]

It just shifted to spanking your puppy’s ass, to make them take that thick knot. Like the good little play thing they are.

i don't really think it's like that at all

Residents view the first iceberg of the season as it passes the South Shore, near Ferryland Newfoundland, Canada by Jody Martin

[antique-scarecrow]

it…did not occur to me that icebergs just…pass by people’s houses

[portraitdelajeunefilleenfeu]

i used to live in st. john’s, nl, and, in late spring to early summer, it was not uncommon for a giant iceberg to float slowly by just outside the harbor. they would mention it on the news and radio. they took hours or, sometimes, days to go by. and, when it happened, it would make the whole town colder.. like ice in a glass of water. and, sometimes,… they would groan. as they passed.

I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine

[ganondorf]

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

This was one of my introductions to military history. I was 14 and haven't ever really looked back. Big fan of star forts and Vauban.

[hbbisenieks]

Star forts like this were constructed after gunpowder became common in warfare! The elevated position plus the angled walls were designed to make it harder to just blow a hole in the wall with a big cannon, which is what happened to a lot of pre-gunpowder fortifications.
