Free service with ads: Well, if I'm not paying for it they have to foot the bill somehow.

Paid service with no ads: Well, if they're not funding it with ad revenue, they need to charge us something.

Paid service with ads: Well that's bullshit.

I don’t care how “accurate” Nolan’s odyssey is or whatever bullshit but the fact that he cast Matt Fucking Damon as Odysseus is an UNFORGIVABLE crime. Odysseus where.

Menopausal max is going to be either funny as shit or unbearable and horrendous. We have about a month left of Estrogen Max, afterwards all bets are off

hey people with uterusussys if you are bleeding a fuck ton with large blood clots you need to go fucking get checked for cancer. This is a massively overlooked sign for endometrial cancer. If you've ever bled so much you need a transfusion go get a biopsy. If you've told yourself you'll just bear the super heavy three month long "periods" go get a biopsy. Stage 1 endometrial cancer basically quadruples the number of potential treatments you can do. Source: it was cancer.

u rly learn about being antiracist and what that actually means and u cannot ever unsee the bullshit Everywhere.

stop saying "as a white person, I--" on Black peoples posts. i'll fucking maul you.

Quick housekeeping list. This is very US centric, but much of it applies across white anglosphere in general.

stop doing this shit. Black people have fucking asked and begged and insisted to stop doing this shit

-"I'm white but..."

-"I don't claim being white/nonpracticing white"/otherwise dissassociating yourself from whiteness. This is not the woke you think it is. You cannot separate yourself from the system of white supremacy, even if you're doing your best to fight it.

-using AAVE/ebonics to be funny or sound hip. Additionally: only ever expressing yourself using memes of Black people. This is digital blackface. This requires genuine self examination. Start noticing it. Start recognizing AAVE as a legitimate contributor to modern vernacular, and not as a way to make yourself sound better, or worse: funnier. Consider: why do you think that phrase that is AAVE sounds funnier? Is it because you consider AAVE intrinsically humorous, even without meaning to?

-Stop making excuses or playing devil's advocate on Black people's posts. They know. They do not need you there.

-STOP USING YOUR AUTISM AS A COMPARISON TO RACIAL INEQUITY AND A SHIELD FROM RACISM. Some of the most racist motherfuckers I have had the displeasure of knowing were autistic. You can be marginalized for your disability but be so fucking for real. Black people have it substantially and materially worse in a way that is not comparable to your marginalization. Black AUTISTIC people are an intersection that's never spoken about.

-Stop being so fucking embarassingly racist all the time because you can't take two seconds to think to yourself "what are the sociopolitical implications and ramifications of my statements, and what atmosphere does that contribute to here? Am I really fostering genuine discussion? Or am i just being loud in a Black space to prove how Not Racist I am."

tl;dr shut the fuck up.

If any Black people would like to offer suggestions or corrections to this list please let me know, i'll happily update it.

in terms of "dead dove" tropes in general one of my favourite ways to pervert an otherwise healthy and consensual relationship is to have one of the characters be responsible for something that was objectively and unsympathetically their fault and that they're determined to spend the rest of their lives making up for, but are unwilling (or unable) to confess to their new partner who only knows them as they are now and not as the shameful fuckup they once were, so they end up convincing themselves that they're essentially committing rape by deception - for the entirely selfish reason that is wanting to prove that they can succeed in obtaining and keeping one genuinely good, stable, unblemished thing in their life - by concealing it. but because they both desire comfort and don't feel that they deserve it they continue to do so, going so far as to try to prevent their partner from being exposed to any situation or interaction where they might learn the truth, even as it becomes a case of using them and the relationship to self-harm to satisfy their unresolved guilt that only grows with each passing moment.

[valtsv]

and then, just when they've finally started to relax and let themself consider that maybe, just maybe, they do actually deserve to be happy and move on with their life, that's when the other shoe drops and their partner stumbles across the information that fleshes out and gives shape to the unspoken thing that's been hanging over their relationship since day one, to the point that they'd adjusted to living in its shadow, in the least favourable circumstances possible. building your home in someone only to find out that your house is haunted and the spectre has been in the room with you this entire time >>>>>
