hot take possibly? but i actually think it’s okay for things to be marketed for adults. it’s literally okay if things aren’t suitable for children. i feel like we are losing the plot

[zoestorm]

Correct. Furthermore: children bending or breaking the rules to get a peek at something that's not intended for them is a part of growing up.

"Whether someone understands it or not, these are the consequences of the political views they're espousing" is a pretty important analysis tool for online movements because quite honestly, over half of everyone engaging in politics online have no foundations for the stuff they're saying and are just saying whatever makes them feel like a member of an in-group.

"We need trilllions to replace all workers" is quite the ask for an industry that has no profits.

"Oh yeah, we have an outdoor Corgi, he just gets so bored cooped up inside all day. He knows to stay off the road. Don't worry, he's way too smart for coyotes and the neighbor's know to look out when they drive past."

"Us? Oh, of *course* our Dachshund sleeps inside- we just let him out in the morning and make sure he comes back for dinner. He just does his own thing, no worries."

"Um, you know it's not humane to keep a chihuahua confined to an apartment? They're dogs, they're natural predators. They need to experience hunting behaviors or they get depressed. No we don't leash ours, he absolutely hates it, we just let him come and go whenever."

Yall get how fucking stupid that sounds, right? So stop letting your goddamn cats get eaten and attacked and infected and hit by cars

A toddler would probably love full unattended access to the neighborhood too, but we don't do that either, do we

It's 2026, "keep your damn pet in a house or in your view" should not be controversial

The rest of the space is going to be pretty pissed when they see this.

honestly “the lion doesn’t concern himself with” is a pretty good anti-ocd phrase

[headedoutleft]

the lion doesn’t concern himself with managing other people’s feelings

[headedoutleft]

the lion doesn’t concern himself with what ifs

[headedoutleft]

the lion doesn’t concern himself with germs

[headedoutleft]

the lion doesn’t concern himself with reliving that one excruciatingly painful moment for the one thousandth time and imagining a better response

I hate you Ozempic craze I hate you 'heroin chic' I hate you weight loss ads on public radio I hate Burn Fat Fast ads every thirty seconds I hate you I hate you I hate you

[teaboot]

I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products

A lot of times there are queer readings of characters with legitimate basis in the subtext of canon

but occasionally I see a queer reading of a character and I genuinely think it’s just a way to feel more cool about having a cis straight white dude as your blorbo

[dubiousculturalartifact]

I expressed this same sentiment on Twitter and someone quote tweeted me in ‘agreement’ with the example of Sam Winchester, who they considered to have loads of legitimate queer subtext, versus Dean Winchester, who they believed to have none

Which genuinely is objectively the funniest response I could possibly receive on a post I made because I saw someone headcanoning Sam Winchester as queer, and eyerolled so hard I nearly got a headache

you can honestly be having the worst day of your life, open tumblr and there's your long time mutual who has recently gotten really into toy story yaoi just posting away
