"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"

I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,

Let's say I really wanted to reduce the number of children who die in car accidents. Car accidents are really bad, right? Nobody disagrees about that. And it would be much better for both the environment and the kids' health if they spent more time walking, or taking the bus. Perfectly reasonable. More cars off the road, safer roads, fewer kids getting hurt, healthier kids. A win-win!

Therefore, let's ban children from traveling by car and require all cars to have a scanner on the door that scans the government ID of everyone who gets in the car to make sure no kids are in there. After all, kids get hurt in car accidents all the time! We need to ban this right away!

i honestly don't really understand why "some people prefer watching gameplay online rather than playing games themselves" is treated as such a taboo when being a spectator is considered a pretty mundane way to engage with most sports, game shows, reality tv or even just like. chess.

Tumblr is super big on the "I didn't say it was good, I said I liked it" but really need to discover the value in its opposite of "I didn't say it was bad, I said I hated it".

You can acknowledge that something is good, great, a masterpiece even, and just straight-up not enjoy it.

I think it’s normal for people to be mad at each other sometimes even if they’re close friends or family or intimate with each other. Like I think that’s a normal and healthy part of relationships that can happen sometimes

“Why were you on Mad At Me island” because at the time I was mad at you and yet our friendship has weathered that without trouble

[tiredragedemon]

I went to Mad At You island because my feelings are my problem. I needed to stomp down the beach until I could sit and watch the sunrise. I built a sandcastle and did some thinking. Then I boarded the good ship You Matter To Me and sailed it all the way to meet you on the Let’s Talk Shore of I Love You Island.

i love these gay flowers they're so strange /affectionate

[luvkthepsychic]

the thing with the whole "well trans men have male privilege thing" is firstly. literally no. but even if you take the example of the "stealth trans guy who passes extremely well so people see him as a cis guy" is that he still has to hide his identity to access that privilege and if someone finds out hes trans that privilege is most likely to be taken away. so it isnt really privilege.

people have probably definitely said this already but even so.

[transcyberism]

Hi I'm stealth-ish at work and people see me as a cis man but it means I literally cannot talk about my childhood at all ever, or my body, it means I cannot discuss my concerns about reproduction/childbirth when people ask me if I have or want kids, it means I have to bind all day every day or risk being outed (I would prefer not to because my ribs have some issues), it means a certain brand of asshole will default to viewing me as someone it's acceptable to make unguarded transphobic and misogynistic remarks to and I have to actively tell them to stop, it means I cannot call my endocrinologist during work hours (i.e. times their office is open) unless I go outside where no one can hear me... it's so fucking exhausting actually but I only do it because being open would be even more exhausting. I am not privileged by this situation I am hiding

[sludgetoxicmilkshake]

The quickest solution to this is to make someone watch Gattaca and ask them the question: "Did the protagonist have the privilege when they were themselves or did they have to lie and hurt themselves to obtain it? Can someone like them intrinsically have that privilege without needing to mask/hide?" I know that no media/metaphor perfectly relates to real life, but I feel that in this case it's pretty similar. If you have to mask your transness to get at male privilege then YOU don't have a privilege. If transmen could be themselves (including being trans) and have it then yes that would be a privilege. In the current vernacular that is a 'product' which you have had to sign away part of yourself to get at. Surely if transmen have male privilege when they mask that means women could also obtain male privilege by masking. In that case if society assumed that an online creator was a guy would that mean that she would have male privilege?

Contemporary art haters will be like "i don't get it" and then not read the title or artist statement or the medium or the year or

[ragsy]

How to "get it":

Ask yourself, how does this piece make you feel? (No wrong answers)

Look for an artist statement nearby. What does it say about the artist and their relationship to their work? What does the artist say that they are trying to convey with their art? What contextual clues can you pick up from what they say about their background, or what they omit?

Look at the title of the piece. What is the artist saying about their work by naming it that, either explicitly or implicitly?

Look at the medium. Is there anything about the piece that stands out to you, knowing what it's made of?

Look at the year it was made. What cultural events might have been happening around this time? Was this piece part of a particular art movement? What was the purpose of that art movement, and what was it trying to say?

Accept that sometimes, you still might not get it. This is perfectly okay.

You can tell a lot about a person by entering their mind palace and encountering their greatest fears and darkest hopes in a labyrinth reflective of their subconscious thoughts.
