being anticapitalist with a strong work ethic is so fucking embarrassing like my managers don't deserve this

Can’t reblog the post going round containing these two screenshots:

So I’ll put my addition here:

This also applies to women who complain about feminism requiring them to work, rather than being ‘ladies of leisure’. Women equivalent to them in the past always worked - who do they think were the maids, housekeepers, cooks, nannies, wet nurses, governesses, washerwomen, spinners, weavers, seamstresses, nurses, midwives, etc - and today’s equivalent of the past’s ladies of leisure can afford to be ladies of leisure now. Feminism fought for women’s work to be acknowledged, valued, and fairly paid, and that fight is still ongoing.

I like when fairies get a bit more bug with it. Sneak a little extra chitin on her. It won't hurt.

i personally like the smell of weed but dislike the smell of cigarette/tobacco smoke, but combing through the notes on that poll indicates that this opinion may be unpopular! idk!

Little Yellow Bastards! They aren’t all dandelions, but people read them as such, enough that this image unlocked a deep and ancient well of rage in me.

I have a whole ESSAY inside of me about the unpalatability of dandelions and the Great Crunchy Conspiracy about this. This little fun fact, “you can eat dandelions 😇” , repeated without elaboration, has bothered me since I was 9 YEARS OLD. I have only ever read one article brave enough to tackle this conspiracy, which really addresses how dandelions aren’t particularly edible, and the elaborate steps you need to take to make them so. I have THEORIES AND HOMEWORK TO GIVE YOU ABOUT THIS TOPIC. but everyone else, apart from me and this one brave foraging guy in a magazine, just mechanically repeats the idea that dandelions are yummy, and you should absolutely rip them up and eat them right now. Raw, apparently! From the concrete sidewalk! As if that isn’t a deranged thing to encourage even if it was delicious (which it won’t be.)

Anyway!! Looking at this picture, which includes a strain of plants called “false dandelions,” as well as some toxic plants, it just goes to show how dumb this advice is. It is is absurd how people keep on repeating this ✨✨fun dandelion fact✨✨ without disclaimers/qualifiers/instructions. Do you think the general public can look at Little Yellow Bastards with serrated leaves and tell which ones taste like lettuce, and which ones have RECENTLY KILLED PEOPLE? Can the average Joe look at these picture and sort with confidence the dandelions from the not-dandelions? I’m not actually that convinced. I’ve met the public. The public are absolutely reading those little instagram posts and sidebars in Natural Parenting magazine, they are absolutely snacking on slightly toxic weeds, and feeling guilty for not liking them, and keeping their true feelings a secret.

GOD so much of crunchy politics is just sentimental SHADOWBOXING with our own REFLECTIONS and nothing to do with actual plants!! I like dandelions but they’re pissing me off lately !!!

(A hilarious joke, they’re a diuretic with the English folk name of piss-the-bed.)

(It’s coltsfoot that’s killed people.)

I was a cheerleader at university, this was in the UK so not serious at all, but we did go and compete at Nationals which were being held in Bournemouth, a fair distance from our uni in London. One of the girls was like "omg you can stay at my house! My parents live like 30 minutes away." so all 25 of us got on the coach with a blanket and pillow and clothes, expecting to like, stay at a house.

Her house in the New Forest. They had a pool and hot tub, a pool house, and I think 4 or 5 bedrooms and 2 reception rooms. I say "I think" because we weren't actually allowed to stay in the house. Our coach and 2 male members stayed in the pool house, which had a very small room, plus a bathroom which all of us were to share. The rest of us had to sleep in a big tent gazebo thing in the garden. In May in England. When none of us were prepared for camping. It was about 10°c in the night, not comfortable at all.

I very briefly saw the inside of the house when I asked her mother if there was another bathroom because we were running late and i needed to put my contact lenses in, and she shooed me into a cupboard under the stairs. The living room I caught a glimpse of had enough space for all of us to sleep there.

The next day when we got back from the competition, we were given a BBQ dinner! Which consisted of 1 chicken leg and 1 potato each.

For the privilege of staying at her house, we all had to give Nadine £5.

Every time I see a post like this, I think of that time, freezing my ass off, in a mansion garden.

Honestly we really need to stop being weird about older adults who are virgins.

& not even purely in a "I'm sex repulsed &/or ace &/or not into the idea of so I willingly didn't have it" but also in a "I'm 80, I would've loved to have sex, but it takes two to tango & no one wanted to have sex w/ me-" and in a "I'm 60 & I wanted to, but I had anxiety so bad I just didn't put myself in a situation where I could've" way, etc. [But yes also the people who are like "I'm a virgin because I never wanted to have sex"]

Someone made a post about having their 40th birthday & still being a virgin & someone commented about how it was heartbreaking... [The OP talked about all their other achievements they reached & how they were happy - just never had sex btw. They weren't lamenting about how they never had sex]

You don't need sex/sexual intimacy to be happy. You don't need romantic intimacy to be happy. [Obviously having those may add happiness, but like you won't live a sad depressing empty life if you're single forever &/or never have sex]

the amount of people who have said something like "id rather be called a faggot than queer" makes it clear its not actually about "reclaiming a slur" its about queer being cringey and associated with weirdos who have opinions like "bi lesbians are cool and literally always have been" and "exclusionism is a traumatizing waste of time psyop"
