#lower stomach #from when they removed my appendix!

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

#truly the only thing that has saved me from the tumblr accent is that english is not my native language nor what I speak in #most of the time #I probably do have a tumblr accent when i write.....#well. we shall see if anyone will call me out on it sometime

being the disappointing gay firstborn daughter is a tough job, but someone got to do it.

Wait why is youtube now putting an ai button on videos that’s like “tell me what this video is about”??? Do they think we’re too stupid to watch video now?

plaguedocboi

Like is the pitch at this point really that we should be relying on ai to do our jobs, make our art, make our music, do our homework, do our chores, research for us, write our papers and emails and texts, summarize all our books and videos and movies into a single sentence, strap a chatbot to your physical body so it can tell you how to respond to people in real life, replace therapy and friends and partners, think for us, do for us, exist for us, and this is being sold as “convenience”? Wow ai saves me so much time! It’s so nice to have something that can live for me so I have more time to *checks notes scribbled on hand* uhh. Sit and stare blankly at a wall? I think that’s all that’s left really

#no no you're supposed to sit and stare blankly at your phone #preferably at all the advertisements so money can be squeezed out of everyone's soulless dead eyes

in-unit laundry; i consider myself generally messy

in-unit laundry; i consider myself generally neat

in-unit laundry; i am neutral on the messy-neat scale

in-unit dishwasher; i consider myself generally messy

no other nuance bald vanilla option. put it in the tags if you must. this is for science.

#I specifically bought both a dishwasher and washing machine for my apartment #there would have been a laundry room including a washing machine in the basement #but tbh that washing machine was never cleaned and the drier was so gross I rather airdry all my stuff #and also having to coordinate with all the neighbours when to wash or whatever just seemed unnecessary #that being said #the washing machine was more of a well i found one that fits and is good price wise #the dishwasher was absolutely non-negotiable #the executive functioning that thing behind me is unparalleled #I lived without a dishwasher for a bit #never again. that thing is perhaps one of the (if not the) most important household appliance I own #to be fair. here almost everyone just has a dishwasher #it's more unusual to not have one #I feel like in the us it is the opposite. but that might just be my impression

Not to be rhe ten millionth person to say “USAmerican President Donald Trump Is An Incoherent Public Speaker Whose Train Of Thought Can Be Best Described As Scat Jazz” but I just remembered that when he talks at international events it is several dozen people’s job to translate what he’s saying and what he intends to say to world leaders in real time

And I desperately wish to hear how they do it

If anyone reading this isn’t fluent enough in English to understand the sentences that man says, please know that he has essentially mixed a number of adjectives and topics together in a hat and is pulling them out at random like a horrible children’s game

Like that waxy jaundiced bitch will straight up be like “J'étais sur internet l'autre jour – internet, la plus grande invention américaine. Et la Chine a “internet aussi. Pas un bon internet, pas comme le mien, j'ai un internet formidable. Les gens me disent : « Donald, ton internet est génial ! » On adore l'internet de Donald. Mais la Chine… Chine, Chine, Chine… Vous savez qu'ils mangent des oiseaux ? C'est terrible. J'adore les oiseaux. La Chine mange des oiseaux. Pas comme nous. Pas comme mes oiseaux. Mais vous savez, c'est comme ça, et c'est terrible. Mais voilà ce que je vais faire : je vais sauver les oiseaux. Je vais sauver internet et sauver les oiseaux. Tous ces magnifiques oiseaux. Pour l'Amérique. Et la Chine va nous détester pour ça. Ils vont nous détester parce qu'on est les meilleurs sur oiseaux”. And people will lose their minds

The fact that anyone can name a viral vine everyone has seen but nobody can name a viral TikTok everyone has seen means something about the current state of social media and society at large, I just haven’t figured out exactly what yet

#my take would be it's due to overconsumption #and the way content just keeps coming and coming and coming on TikTok #you don't get a second to remember anything before the next video is already way underway

I know you were involved in 9/11 I just can’t prove it yet

How many folks of genders who had the Eldest Daughter Experience like me also end up never having kids of their own because of the “I already spent my childhood being a mom and while part of me wants children most of me wants to puke at the idea of doing it again” effect. Genuinely curious how widespread this is

#both me and my eldest step sister have this same thing #we are both the same age #both with younger sisters and funnily enough both of the two younger sisters do want children

Since we generally agreed the other poll was too extreme on the cold side and did Not give an idea of how much people enjoy cold/heat, here’s one with the cold end just above freezing. Would you rather spend a full day running errands when the temperature is…

#3 degrees is nice!! bundle yourself in a little bit and you're good to go #especially depending on how you run your errands #with a car? easy peasy. car's got heating sand stores have heating #with public transport it depends on how frequently they go but to me running errands implies some sort of efficiency #so you would go with the more practical option anyways

actually as a woman I still think misandry makes you an unpleasant person and if you’re just out there saying shit like “all men should die” or “men’s mental health doesn’t matter” then you’re the type of person I want nothing to do with. also this is not what feminism is about btw, you’re not being a strong girl boss with this ideology, you’re just a bully

zombiemollusk

remember:

-the idea that women are less capable of abuse than men is an extension of the idea that women are weaker than men.

-the refusal to acknowledge men's mental health and emotions as valid things worthy of support comes from the idea that emotions are inherently feminine in nature and having them is, again, a sign of weakness.

-the treatment of men as generic and expendable and women as special contributes to the idea that women should have less representation because we already "have enough" and "don't need more" and we gotta "even the playing field" or some dumb shit, so any need or want for more attention, regardless of reason, is attributed to "pointless attention-seeking".

-all of this puts trans men in an even more uncomfortable position, because either they're made an exception (because they ~aren't really men~ you see) or they're viewed as self-hating misogynists because why else would you "choose" to be the Trash Gender (tm)?

all of these seemingly pro-women anti-men sentiments stem from beliefs produced and enforced by toxic masculinity; as such, misandry is often really just misogyny in disguise.

zombiemollusk

adding more onto this:

-the idea that men are inherently terrible only serves to excuse men for being terrible. because, hey, they can't help it, so why bother trying, right? part of holding men accountable for their awful actions is believing they can in fact be better.

-the reason "not all men" is so frustrating to hear is because it's often used in poor faith to derail much needed conversations about toxic masculinity and how it manifests, not because the phrase itself is untrue.

-continuing from the trans men thing, misandry can and does make it harder for trans men to come out, for fear of the aforementioned responses.

-yes, misandry can stem from trauma at the hands of a man. that's understandable, but trauma can reinforce a lot of prejudices, and we all have a responsibility to understand how we come to believe things and mind ourselves accordingly. that doesn't mean you need to hang around men all the time, nor does it mean you're wrong to feel the way you do about what men did to you - it just means recognizing the objective line between fact and feelings, and recognizing that you don't need to conflate the two to validate your feelings. "i am uncomfortable around men because of past experiences shared by a lot of women" is different from "men are all horrible irredeemable pieces of shit and need to die".

"i would kill a pedophile to protect my child" ok but would you teach your child how to say no? even to adults? even to adults you like? would you teach your child the words "penis" and "vulva" and then use them? would you let them ask questions about their body? would you answer them honestly? would you learn how to cope with your feelings when you talk about human bodies, so they don't feel ashamed? would you set a positive example for how you talk about your body? would you tell your child they don't have to hug or kiss anyone? would you tell your family the same? would you stand by them when they refuse to hug someone? even someone you know has never done anything to hurt them? would you let your child avoid food they don't like? would you let you child avoid people they don't like? would you believe them? would you sit in the discomfort of not knowing all the answers and not take it out on them? would you love your child the same if someone did hurt them? would you make them feel valued just as they are? would you let them talk to doctors or nurses in private? would you let them express their feelings? would you show interest in their life? would you let your child say no to you? would you help your child feel safe coming to you when they make a mistake? would you apologize to your child? would you believe them? would you put aside your anger to focus on what would make your child feel safe and loved? would you put your ego aside for your child? would you take your child's concerns seriously? would you listen to your child? would you believe them?
