@cold-and-bitter
yes please. this would be a great day for this to come true
When I was a kid, I couldn’t imagine how ‘May you live in interesting times’ could be a curse. But now I would so love to not have a year’s worth of news happen every week. PLEASE.
likes to charge, reblog to cast
May we live in a time where the front page on the newspaper is about someone’s swimming pool freezing
And whose pie crust recipe is better for savory fillings versus whose is better for sweet fillings
i just read a washington post article on romcoms aging poorly due to the pushiness (and oft-stalkery conduct) of the male characters therein, and it got me thinking about pride and prejudice, and specifically darcy saying, “one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”
because, like, that’s the seldom-portrayed romantic dream in the patriarchal hellscape that is our world, isn’t it?
a dude being willing to say, “i understand if you don’t feel the same way about me, and i’ll leave you alone forever about this if my attention is unwanted.”
so simple, yet so wonderful in its basic human decency
and dudes to this day wonder why women still swoon over darcy
Note also: Elizabeth turns down Darcy’s first proposal, and in the process, accuses him of doing some stuff he did not do (and also some stuff he totally did).
The next day, he surprises her on her walk. He hands her a letter, asks that she read it, and then takes off.
When this happened to me after I had turned someone down IN REAL LIFE, the letter contained a passionate argument to the tune of “actually you’re wrong and you do like me and you should go out with me” and it was creepy af.
Darcy’s letter to Elizabeth starts with: “Be not alarmed, Madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting to you”. He goes on to set the record straight about the stuff he didn’t do (as well as the stuff he did) which is *actually relevant* to Elizabeth. And he, as promised, doesn’t romance her further.
It’s totally bizarre that even now, this can be considered unusually great dude behaviour.
Darcy’s first proposal: “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”
Darcy’s second proposal: “One word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”
His whole arc in the book is about learning to consider other people’s feelings and not just his own, but the fact that it’s expressed via who gets to talk and who is told to shut up is so, so telling. The first time around, he imposes his voice on her whether she wants it or not. The second time, he asks how she feels, and in exchange, offers her the gift of his silence.
And yeah, the fact that dudes still! have! not! learned! this! lesson! is exhausting.
How surprising is it that Pride and Prejudice was written by a woman, when many romantic comedies are produced and directed by men?
Answer: not at all
200 years later and the world is still full of guys who think they’re a Mr Darcy when they’re actually a Mr Collins.

And Ross, being the largest male, simply eats the other males
i saw a post earlier where someone was talking about “Big Parma” and obviously they meant big pharma but i do like to imagine that Big Parmesan is after them
lots of cheeses, especially hard italian cheeses like parmesan are actually under trademark and one cheesemaking youtuber actually got served a cease and desist by the grana padano association for his grana padano recipe so it is absolutely possible to have Big Parma after you
on an unrelated note it is now my life’s goal to piss off the biggest possible authorities in the smallest possible fields
Moral of the story: do NOT fuck with Italians and their food
What happens when the mafia who specialize in counterfeit parmesan, adulterated olive oil marketed as extra virgin, counterfeit balsamic vinegar, and other such things go up against these Italian food cartels?

Hiii! This might be tmi, but when you spoke about your passive suicidal ideation, you basically gave me the definition of how I feel most of the time! Like, you gave it a name! Suicidal thoughts often bother me, but I'd never act on it or harm myself, but I'd walk down the street and be like 'I wouldn't care if I'd be hit by a car right now' and well... Yeshh... I'm sorry your psi was bothering you and I do hope you feel better! 🧡 Thank you again for solving my mystery haha! 😅🧡
💖💖💖💖💖💖
Theres a name for having the dleeting thoughts, but i can’t remember it or find the post on here. Like, you’ll be driving apomg and think “what if i just turned the car into the central barrier right now while i’m doing 80mph?” Apparantly thats totally normal and most people have those random thoughts now and again.
Passive Suicidal Ideation is pretty constant. Kinda comes in waves. Like, its always there at the back of my mind, but its more like white noise that i don’t even notice. When my cyclothymia is taking a dive for a prolonged period of time (like 2020), my PSI is much more prominent. And its not thoughts of “i’m going to kill myself,” the thoughts are more “what of i just…didn’t exist?” Does that make sense?
I never want, or feel like i need to act on the thoughts, they’re just…there. Getting back to the gym has massively helped as it gives me a physical outlet for the thoughts, and helps me to dial them down back to being background noise.
Dunno if any of that made sense?
Yep, the intrusive thoughts about what slightly out of the norm actions could lead to terminal consequences, that happens. I get that especially with a strong sense of "the call of the void" when looking down from heights. Let's go for a dive! The brain's weird.
*ATTENTION*
dear white people
Indian is not a language
India is a country, with more than 19,500 languages. Indian is none of them.
Also, Hindu is not a nationality, ethnicity, or language.
Although objectifying women is undeniably a problem in media there are relationships that start with physical attraction and sex and develop from there into a genuine emotional connection with mutual respect and love and I wonder sometimes if people can tell the difference because from what I’ve seen on Tumblr they can’t.
Right, because personal growth and emotional development over time is something that not everyone experiences through literal decades of living. It's particularly difficult in the tumultuous hormone maelstrom of the developing teenage years. [ insert that gif here about growth from Insecure]
I never see masses of whites trying to move into 3rd world nations and demand to be ‘natives’ or the government of that land hint at the same.
There it is
Yeah, the whole colonialism thing... Oh and you're welcome, England, for all the curry. -respectfully, the Subcontinent
I think one of the most harmful things I learned growing up was this notion that history exists in a different realm than the present; that the world is basically "fully formed" now and history was the world "still cooking." I think this kind of ideology makes it really easy to dismiss protests, because to people (especially those with privilege) who haven't critically examined the way they learned history, it seems like there is a fundamental divide between the righteous protests that brought us to where we are now and anything that happens in the present.
Through this lens things like:
"Slavery was 150 years ago, get over it!" Actually kind of make sense. I mean, if the world is fully formed now, doesn't that mean racism is over? So any further attempt to correct it would be the real problem in the present, Anti-white Racism!
So what do we do? Well, first of all, for my fellow educators, developing assignments where students think about how the events of today might look in a history book could be a good place to start (helping them draw the connection that the current moment in history is not somehow special or different from any other)
So that's a band-aid that would be easy to implement quickly, but what about deeper systemic change?
In a broader sense, I think we really need to restructure the way we teach history in a way that creates a focus on modern events and the historical context that leads up to them. Each unit could tackle a different social issue, tracing how that issue evolved over time. For example, if we wanted to talk about the George Floyd protests, we could have a whole unit about the history of anti-black racism in America. Or for a unit about climate change, you could start at the industrial revolution and talk about how environmental justice has changed over time.
Ok first off, who is paying to serve this ad? How could anyone familiar with Tumblr user demographics consider this as something that might drive clicks?
Secondly, it was a fun show and since I could not afford cable TV, whatever old stuff they syndicated on MeTV, such as Barney Miller, yep, I watched it. But even then I don't care what the cast is up to now. Except Abe Vigoda; I hope you're doing well!
Like satire, playing devil’s advocate is something else that was conceived as a punching up tool and recently got added to the ‘socially acceptable ways to be a Nazi’ pile.
Listen, I liked Sanders. But the Supreme Court is the only thing I care about right now.
If you vote for anyone that isn’t the Democrat nominee, we are looking at a 7-2 right-wing SCOTUS. For how long? 30-40 YEARS.
RBG is 87. Breyer is 81. Chances of them making it to 2024 are not great.
For the record, I think this system is FUCKED and this isn’t how SCOTUS composition should be decided, but it is how it is right now.
If you care about the rights of women, of minorities of any kind, you really need to vote for the democrat nominee. No third parties or write ins. No abstaining. And for crying out loud, no assuming that Trump won’t win even if you don’t vote. VOTE BLUE.
Joe Biden is chemo. Chemo sucks and sorta tries to kill you, but you take it because it kills your cancer faster.
The current state of affairs with regards to how the country’s being run? Cancer.
Bernie Sanders would have been a surgery that cuts the tumor out without long-term damage, but from the looks of it we’re at the point where that’s not a viable option.
Not voting is essential oils: it smells nice and does nothing.
Reblogging for one of the best analogies of this election cycle I’ve ever read.
Wow. As a cancer survivor, this is a PERFECT metaphor. Those chemo bags literally have big “TOXIC” stickers on them. If a nurse were to spill one on their arm, it would cause nasty chemical burns, and they inject that shit right into your veins.
My chemo left me with long-term lung damage. Now that the plague has come to town, that lung damage could very well allow COVID-19 to kill me.
But you know what?
I hope to god it doesn’t come to that, but even if it does, I’ve had 16 years I wouldn’t have had without the chemo. I’ve gotten married, gotten a Masters and a PhD, had a kid, written a lot of fic that’s made a lot of people happy. No way would I go back and refuse chemo just because it would leave me damaged instead of dead.
And the best part of this metaphor? The cancer had spread to my lungs anyhow, so if I’d let it kill me, it’s not like I would’ve died with nice clear lungs!
These idiots are going “But Biden will leave scarring our lungs! We’ll never be able to scuba dive! We’ll be less able to fight off nasty lung infections! We might die from it someday!” and ignoring the fact that the cancer of Trump will kill us very quickly and has already fucked up our lungs anyhow.
And I’m gonna repeat the best line from up there:
Not voting is essential oils: it smells nice and does nothing.
Having been on a tiny dose of 1 (one) chemo drug ever, I concur. That shit is nasty and better than the alternative.
I saw someone compare Biden and Trump like a blue bag of chips vs. a red bag of chips and like, okay, fine, as long as you remember the red bag is FULL OF FASCISTS.
Even if Biden did everything he’s been accused of doing, at this point, he’s STILL better than the alternative, and will likely go a long way toward pulling us back from where we’re dangling over a cliff. And his VP choice matters probably more than any VP choice in history.
If we abolish the police, who will keep the order? Abolishing the police would do more harm than good—criminals would run free and get away with things. A new public safety administration would still be the police in everything but name. (“A Rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.”) Could you please explain the pros of abolishing the police?
Abolishing the police is a slow and steady process. The police would still exist during the transition but their funding and resources would slowly be reallocated to other agencies, some already existent and others new. For example, a new traffic agency can be established to handle vehicle-related instances. Why are armed officers needed when an accident happens or if I need to be pulled over so someone can fix my tail light? Police have long been expected to do way more than they should. One benefit along the way towards police abolishment is that cops have more time to deal with what they consider to be “more urgent” crimes rather than the petty instances like traffic tickets. This lessens opportunities for racist contact.
Another example is handling domestic issues like abuse and drugs. Police officers are not social workers or psychologists. Many of them get less training than barbers do to cut hair. Needless to say, they shouldn’t be doing these jobs, yet they are often expected to. Resources can be divested from police forces and into rehabilitation and other services that better address these issues.
Abolishing the police is more than replacing its name. The entire criminal justice system is rooted in racism and stems from slavery. It’s time to rethink its purpose in the 21st century as one that is long over due to be replaced with new and improved systems. Reform has been tried and has failed. Here are three websites where you can learn more. Also read the work of Angela Davis for more context on our racist criminal justice system. Here are some more ideas to think about.
Might just fuck around and get into babymetal
Excellent choice
