It's nicer to be nice

Hi and welcome! My name is Tessa and I'm a girl in my mid twenties from the Netherlands. I like tea, pastels, and feel good music. This is pretty much just silly jokes and pop culture references that I enjoyed enough to bother reblogging.

We all know that a large number of the convicts sent to Australia back in the day were convicted of "stealing a crust of bread to feed my little sister" type crimes but today I learned that a lot of them were sent for stealing their workhouse uniforms. By which I mean they were from Victorian workhouses, which were desperate, exploitative and abusive places on purpose (to encourage people to stop being poor), they decided to take that encouragement and try to make it on their own, left (which they were allowed to do)... and were arrested, imprisoned and eventually sent as convict labour to Australia because they were wearing the uniform they were given when they entered the workhouse (their own stuff was usually all confiscated when they arrived and workhouses didn't pay wages at this time so there was no way for them to get any other clothes). Imagine quitting your job at a fast food restaurant and then you get sent to a distant colony to die tilling fields for the military because you wore your stupid little uniform hat home.

really good example of how if you examine the economic forces at play instead of taking the law at its word, the actual intention/desired outcome of the law becomes much easier to spot!

I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous

while i do enjoy 'blatantly obvious lies as a bit' as much as the next gal, i will always break keyfabe if someone needs clarification, because i know it can be hard to parse a joke sometimes, especially via a text-only medium

In Dune, they dont use computers to do their math because they're afraid the robots will rebel. Instead, they use people, who are notoriously obedient.

[uinferno]

Let us now observe people rebel and ruin everything because everyone is too dependent on math drugs instead of using a TI-84.

able bodied people love to forget that they're only temporarily able bodied. everyone, unless they die early for whatever reason, will become disabled in some way. you're not invincible. you're not "doing something right" that the rest of us failed at. time is coming for you. everyone becomes disabled eventually.

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[lakemojave]

Tumblr users will read a post complaining about normalized misogyny and hyperfocus on your claim that it's ok to dislike dogs

ok maybe i'm just a full-throated sex freak but i am gonna need someone to explain to me why people have nsfw alts. i have never understood

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

like are we not already anonymous & cringe here?

[mischief-missie]

It's so the posting about superwholock doesn't scare off the honies. The porn isn't afraid of the sfw, the sfw is too cringe for the porn.

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

this is the one that made it all snap into place
