One thing about me is that I will always find time to report a post/account. Yes, I have a full time job and hobbies, but I will always find the 5 mins it takes to report you if you piss me off. If you think it’s okay to post some bullshit bc no one will go through the trouble of filling out those reports, you’re wrong, bc I will. I will do everything in my power to scrub you out of the internet
Do you ever see an account who markets itself on being a “trans activist” and immediately know it’s a TERF trying to make trans people seem so cartoonishly evil
Wish I could send this to everyone who calls Americans "fake" for our friendliness.
[id. A twitter post by @/Bennieeexyz Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat. Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records. My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now. Called the county clerk. Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty. Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons? Me: Yes, but he's a cat. Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county? Me: He's a legal cat. Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption. Me: He can't file anything. He has paws. Clerk: You can file on his behalf. Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat." Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons." Me: What's the medical reason? Clerk: He's a cat. Me: That's not a medical condition. Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving. Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later. "Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement." Took the letter to my vet. Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty. Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty? Me: Excellent question. No good answer. Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten. Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve? Vet: On what grounds? Me: He's a cat. Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings." Me: Perfect. Sent it in. Got another rejection. "Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court." My roommate thought this was hilarious. Roommate: Felix is going to jail. Me: This is serious. Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens. Decided that was actually the only option left. Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters. Checked in at the courthouse. Clerk: Name? Me: Felix Martinez. Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix? Me: Yes. Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat. Me: I've been saying that for six weeks. Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption? Me: I filed three. All rejected. Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation? Me: Twice. Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this. Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me. Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote? Me: You tell me. Supervisor: This is a data error. Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out. They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience. Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry. Me: Appreciate it. Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted? Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats. Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card. For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was. Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud. Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent. Roommate: That's what they all say. Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now. Fitting end to his legal career. end id]
"historically people had servants" incorrect. historically people WERE servants, and many of us still are.
I feel like people try to explain how [historical figure] had all the time to do so many Great Accomplishments and thus go "it's because they had servants". Which is true. But then leave it at that rather than continue on to the more important point that the servants actually often were as tired and overworked and unable to have time for themselves as so many of us are. "People lived this way because they had servants" okay and how were the SERVANTS living???
Something that shocked me when I watched Sherlock Holmes Granada for the first time was how much it forced me to reevaluate what it meant to be a servant in the late Victorian era. I'd always known it was hard, but like...one of the first servants you meet in the series is very noticeably a teenager. She's not a day over fifteen. She's not even the youngest one; there's a stable boy who's twelve or thirteen. At another point Holmes is questioning a cook, and Watson quietly asks Holmes to ask the cook to sit down because she's pale and swaying on her feet. Very kind, very conscientious. Except--this woman was old enough to be their mother. She shouldn't have been standing, much less working sixteen-hour days.
And that's only the tip of the iceberg. When you realize how careful Granada was about making sure casting was era-accurate, seeing these teenagers and elderly women in these roles just...really slams it home in a way nothing else does.
Where's the "holocaust was about gay people first" when it comes to nazi tattoos? Fucking nowhere, because it was never about defending gays, it was about dehumanizing jews.
this heatwave fucking sucks how am I going to serve my liege like this

i swear if this is the second stupid sword picture post i make that gets to 10k i'll just go kill someone
FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!
something is deeply wrong with people
How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton
I can't believe some people are actually reblogging this like "Tch. Omg, so embarrassing OP, I can't believe you would ever admit to liking Hamilton 😏 " like ok, first of all congratulations for hatching as a fully formed adult in 2022 from the pure white egg of a virgin swan i guess. Raised in a cave on a diet consisting solely of nuts and berries and leftist twitter clapbacks. "ooooooh, I've never had a complicated relationship with a piece of art that was phenomenally well-received at the time but aged like milk as later reflection revealed the fundamental flaws in its premise that were in fact present from its inception but which I didn't notice because I was 17 and hadn't heard of neoliberalism yet" Should we throw a party? Should we invite Anthony Fantano? Anyway second of all. you draw the line at Lin Manuel Miranda but you're fine with basement guy?
also from a musical perspective Hamilton got huge for a reason. the songs do, in fact, Rule
art doesn't stop being well-made because we think through its implications more deeply

ngl the most important thing i was taught growing up was that its not enough to just be anti racist but to also be pro black
hating racists is good ! but if youre only hating the oppressor and not uplifting the oppressed all you are doing is using a performative method to direct your anger at. being angry is good, but its not enough. you have to love too. uplift the ones that should be uplifted. celebrate black art and culture and people. celebrate blackness for the beauty it is
did a bit of driving through the state of georgia today and wound up driving through a small town that i later discovered was called newborn, which is an odd name but doesn’t technically have anything wrong with it, except for the fact that i nearly gave myself whiplash doing a double-take at a building sign advertising NEWBORN TAXIDERMY
small town diner waitress voice: Omelas? Oh, oh no, easy mistake, you're in oh - MAY - las right now, with an A. Plenty' people get the name mixed up. Nope, no utopia here, just our small little town. *face gets really grim* We do still.. Okay well we do still have a kid that we... I mean it isn't working but- well- You know. It- It's fine. I'm sure it'll start working soon.
Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner said in a video statement Wednesday he was suspending his campaign, clearing the way for Demo
people were having rage meltdowns over Taylor Swift not donating millions to Palestine because G-d forbid anyone donates to children’s cancer centers and food banks and education initiatives, they’re now yelling about the (((Zionists))) (Jewish guests) attending her wedding. antisemites are never beating the allegations of being joyless bigots, they can’t breathe without making everything about this.
.
I hear you anon. the absolute explosion of furious antisemitism surrounding this wedding has made me ill in a way that’s hard to articulate - I think it’s because there’s no reason to get online and screech about how mad you are that someone didn’t donate to the “right” charities (thus not leaning into the approved omnicause), and then post your hatred for Jewish guests, unless you truly believe that Jews should be treated as unwanted pariahs and banned from interaction with non-Jews. friendship with Jews is now suspect and reason for harassment and death threats. this aspect of current pop culture isn’t about the celebrities involved, it isn’t about anything superficial, it is a clear sign that a swath of people are enraged by the mere presence of Jews anywhere.
every Jew hating extremist seemed to crawl out of the woodwork to complain about this, and that is simply not normal. it is a very dark sign of growing discriminatory attitudes and the acceptance of that as a righteous view.
I was saving commentary about this for a while, but it was making me so upset that it was giving me a headache, so I gave up, but the few things I still have:
