You know how some people talk about timeless themes in literature and you kind of low-key think they're full of shit? Sometimes they're not.

happy fourth of july to the philippines ONLY
link to article
hi, filipino here. just want to say that our independence day is june 12, not july 4. july 4 is when the united states government decided that they would recognize our freedom, specifically because it is your independence day and they wanted to cement their cultural hegemony over our country. and because of their influence on our country this was recognized for a time as our independence day. we still commemorate it, but i hope you can understand why we don’t want our independence day to be associated so closely with our former colonizer. it wasn’t even a work holiday for us.
june 12 is the day that we filipinos declared our own independence for ourselves, and that is what we celebrate as independence day
happy june 12 to you
Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old
One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism
reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century
That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.
Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years
I think a lot of this comes from the fact that most people don’t know the formal definition of capitalism. We all know the word, we’ve all seen the jokes, but very few people bother to actually define it unless they’re talking about political theory and philosophy, so it’s easy to end up with the impression that Capitalism = Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods And Services.
Capitalism is the economic system where most of the means of production (i.e. everything people need to have to make the stuff that everyone wants) are owned by private individuals or corporations, who then hire people to provide the labor necessary to produce things, with the intent of selling the output at a profit. It’s the difference between “you’re a carpenter and you make a chair and you sell it” and “you’re Richard Q. Richington who owns a chair factory, and you pay people to sell the chairs you paid other people to make and then all the excess money goes back to you.” There have been Richard Q. Richingtons on and off throughout history, but that being the norm for every single industry is a pretty recent development.
Thank you for your partecipation.
If staff reformed the ban system to stop banning trans women and used the resulting good will to re-introduce pornography, this site would become a juggernaut. It would swallow Twitter whole.
Glad it’s not just me
The first time I saw this video I didn't reblog or save it anywhere and it's been genuinely impossible to find again. I searched every variation of "dyke falling apart car bentley review asmr meme" I could come up with on Google and across multiple websites/apps.
So, thanks for putting this back on my dash.
Because of this video, any time I'm working on my piece of shit subaru and find something new wrong with it, I knock on some part of the car and say "Subaru" the same way the mechanic here says "holden".
The Alliance & Ashley's Dad
Holy shit, they never promoted him.
During dialogue with Ashley in ME1, she'll gradually open up about her family - including her grandfather's great (perceived) shame of being the first human to surrender to an alien, and that the Alliance has held it against the Williams for two generations.
Eventually, Ashley will casually drop that her dad never made it above Serviceman Third Class. Which, if you don't read the codex or don't get the military, hey, "three is bigger than one right?"
Enlisted class count down to "First" with promotions, not up (in both the real world and in the Alliance). Private/Serviceman First Class is the last rank before Specialist/Corporal, etc...and in the Codex, there's a table with Alliance ranks from lowest to highest. Look what the first one - the lowest in the entire service is: Serviceman 3rd Class
"But okay, he never got promoted. We get that, but why is that THAT terrible?"
He was a CAREER soldier. Decades.
Do you know what you need to do to earn your first three promotions as an enlisted member of the United States Armed Forces? Run out the clock. That's it. Promotions from E-1 to E-4 (ranks vary by branch) are largely TIME-based. There are ways you can speed up (or occasionally slow) the clock, but if you don't muster out, you WILL make E-4. And not over twenty years - closer to 2-3 years.
Even militaries that don't have formalized auto-advancement will at least usually give the folks who stick it out a token promotion or two.
...Serviceman Third Class Williams entered the Alliance at the lowest enlisted rank, never once got a single promotion, and had to raise a family on the lowest pay.
No fucking wonder he was so delighted when his daughter became an NCO (Chief)
We hear multiple times that Ashley's service record is spotless, her test scores exemplary, and numerous positive remarks left by those who served with her. But her career pre-Shepard is ploddingly slow. She's denied leadership positions right up until Eden Prime. It's taken her seven years of being one of the best Marines in the entire Alliance to make it to Gunnery Chief, the middle of the NCO ranks. She's THAT undeniable even when the Alliance still has it out THAT much for her.
What a badass. And the best is to come. By ME3 if she's alive? A full blown Lieutenant Commander (the same rank Shepard starts ME1 at) and the second ever human Spectre.
Way to go, soldier.
dog i gotta move like yesterday
As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China
cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please
Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals
Hanging out with people will make you remember you're the crazy woke friend for like. not wanting to shop at shien
hey bi people
Holy fuck

LGBT+ PRIDE (❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*
As we enter an increasingly anti-Black time, cuckoldry becomes the foundational psychosexual fixation of the racist masses. I don't mean jokes about "the cuck chair" or whatever, which is largely racially neutral and is more akin to jokes about swinging, but cuckoldry as in sexual anxiety surrounding stereotypes of Blackness. The specter of Blackness overshadows every sexual context for these people. You can't see a beautiful woman without preemptively imagining comparative sexual humiliation at the hands of a Black man. Racist whites will model themselves after "demure" sexual norms designed to contrast specifically with the imagined stereotype of Black women. It is deeply pathetic, increasingly dangerous, and also: lol fucking losers
as we are rapidly approaching pride month, here’s an obligatory reminder!
AROMANTIC PEOPLE
ASEXUAL PEOPLE
AND AROACE PEOPLE
ALL BELONG IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY
I WILL REMOVE EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE
Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year
"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade
At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever
