Good morning to eu parliament members attending gay orgies, to the hungarian eu member trying to escape in his underwear thru the gutter when the police raid started, to no homo conservatives trying to save face, to hungarians and to the polish and most of all to whoever gave Szajer József ecstasy and the belgian press ratting Szajer József out.
And to the Ukrainian priests with the "gay" sickness (aka covid) and Lithuanian homophobic politicans with naked men in their bedrooms

If you guys have ADD/ADHD, autism, OCD, or something else that affects your ability to concentrate, I highly recommend the chrome extension Mercury Reader. You just open whatever link you're using, then click on the MR icon (it should look like a rocket) and it'll simplify the page so that it's in a focus-friendly layout. Instead of having random pictures and word boxes all over the screen, it'll be in a vertical format with nothing to distract you so you can focus on what's important. You can also adjust the text size (small, medium, large), font (serif, sans), and theme (light, dark). And the best part is, it's completely free! It's honestly one of the best things I've ever downloaded.
This is an article without the extension. See that messy format, and how the actual article content only takes up a fraction of the page? It's no wonder it took me 7 hours to write that paper.
The same article, this time with Mercury. The user-friendly settings are at the top, and the rest of the article is formatted vertically down the middle with no free-roaming pictures or words. How nice.
I’m so tired of every show that takes place in the past (wild west, medieval, pirates etc) ALWAYS having so much sexual violence towards women like writers can cry “oh it’s realism” all you want but it’s very transparent how realism only applies when you want to hurt women on screen. If we’re talking staying realistic, why doesn’t everyone have brown teeth? Or bad skin? Or dying of dysentery? Just admit y'all want an excuse to brutalize women on screen lol
This pisses me off so much. A lot of the time if you mention realism would also involve women having unshaved legs or pits, or bushy eyebrows, or syphilis, the answer is often “well that’s gross, no one wants to read about/see that” and like…. If you think that women being ugly is grotesque, but brutal depictions of rape aren’t, then I don’t really know what to say to you other than stay the fuck away from me.
To add to this: The pirate captains had personal codes (rules) about what was allowed on the ship, and some of them were very clear on the subject of sexual violence
“ IX. If at any time you meet with a prudent Woman, that Man that offers to meddle with her, without her Consent, shall suffer present Death. “ -From the code of Captain John Phillips
“ 9th: If any p[er]son or p[er]sons shall go on board of a Prize and meet with any Gentlewoman or Lady of Honour and should force them against their will to lie with them shall suffer death. “ -From the code of the company of Thomas Anstis
Or in other words, sexual violence against women was recognised as a crime punishable by death on actual pirate ships, don’t let anybody tell you it’s necessary for “realism” when the pirates themselves recognised how absolutely despicable it was.
I will always reblog

in what order do you think it’s best to read dostoyevsky’s novels?
hey so this is a question i get asked quite often, so you know what? i made yall a handy chart
"my grandma would've been a bike" discourse: in my area we say "if my grandpa had a single ball, he would've been a flipper", so... even if he said that his grandma shagged the whole village, i feel like it's still better than the other option.

The murder of Meredith Kercher by Amada Knox and Raffaele Sollecito
So.
This post: https://politijohn.tumblr.com/post/633950393426116608
Pls keep this in mind, it is THAT Amanda Knox.
So, if yoou don’t want to read the whole thing, we summed it up for you in the below tags:
A big thank you to @epitethot and @semprelibera for the tags.
On 1st November 2007, Amanda Knox along with her accomplice Raffaele sollecito committed the murder of a British girl called Meredith Kercher. They raped her and killed her in cold blood.
Oh, yes, Amanda and Meredith were sharing the apartment in Perugia and were going to the same university.
This page of Wikipedia does tell you the whole story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Meredith_Kercher
Once all of the evidence was showing that Amanda had committed the murder, she first involved Rudy Guede, an Ivorian man who was completely innocent, but had the misfortune of being the only black man she actually knew.
Rudy Guede was then incarcerated for something he never committed and then released because the Italian procurement ACTUALLY looked at the evidence and found a shitton of discrepancies, thus going back to Amanda Knox.
Raffaele Sollecito was eventually incarcerated, but FREAKING AMANDA KNOX INVOLVED THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT, WHO, AS CONSEQUENCE, DISREGARDED ALL EVIDENCE AGAINST AMANDA KNOX AND LET HER LITERALLY RUN AWAY FROM JUSTICE.
Ah, the American White Girl Privilege©
But HOW, you must ask yourselves.
Well. The American government conducted a very harsh and unjust anti-Italian propaganda, depicting us Italians as Neanderthals who dared touch a single hair on the poor blessed soul that is Amanda Knox.
We, on the other side, were like: SHE IS A FUCKING MURDERER, SHE NEEDS TO FACE JUSTICE, WHY IS THE USA SO HELLBENT ON PROTECTING A MURDERER?
Meredith’s dad, on the other end, died without seeing the case finally resolved and Amanda behind bars: https://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2020/02/07/news/padre_meredith_kercher_morto-247904573/
Oh, yeah, I had forgotten about Amanda’s pathetic excuse of a book where she basically reiterated whatever the USA government set up for her.
So, now you see why we Italians feel triggered when we see her posting about social justice.
Like
AMANDA KNOX COME BACK TO ITALY TO FACE YOUR OWN JUSTICE BEFORE YOU SPROUT ANY SJ ON WHATEVER PLATFORM!!!
So yeah. I hope this sheds some light on how AWFUL she is.
I hope I haven’t forgotten anything, pls do klet me know if I did.

☝🏼 Die einzige Verbesserung, die ich an diesem Post zulasse.
Lmao yes Berliner is an insult. So is jelly donut. And Krapfen. But especially Pfannkuchen.
Explanation for the people who aren’t from Germany:
This food has different names, depending on where you are in Germany.
Usually they’re called “Berliner”
In the Ruhr region and the Sauerland they’re called Kräppel/Kreppel/Krebbel
In Berlin and east Germany they’re called Pfannkuchen. This is where it gets weird, cause that’s what the rest of Germany calls pancakes.
Other cool things we Germans fight about are:
Is it der, die or das Nutella?
Aldi Nord vs. Aldi Süd (we have two different kinds of Aldis: one only operates in the south, the other one only operates in the north)
Schwarzer Netto vs roter Netto. Fight
if anyone does not believe the aldi nord vs aldi süd thing i am on youtube on a completely unrelated english video and i just got an ad of aldi
it’s a rap battle between aldi nord and aldi süd
im not joking
Wtf omfg

Do you support bi lesbians?
I’m a firm believer in lesbian meaning that a woman (or an ebony and I’m probably forgetting something else that fall into that Category) is only attracted to other women/ebony’s.
Trans lesbians, cis lesbians, ebony lesbians, ect. All love other lesbians.
So no I don’t support the bi lesbians because it’s physically impossible. I’m not going to shit on anyone who says they’re bi lesbians, but I just don’t agree with it.
i’m not trying to be rude here and i respect anyone who identifies as a bi lesbian but wouldn’t they just be bisexual?-
I think so? I’m looking into the concept right now and I’m pretty sure it is just bisexual.
Lesbian has a history and political meaning beyond the literal meaning of homosexual woman. A good book which is not about this concept specifically but touches on the history in a way I haven't seen elsewhere is Self-Made Men by Henry Rubin, which has a chapter on the history of drag kings and butch/femme roles that many American trans men and transmasculine people came out of in the mid to late 20th century. Regardless of your opinion on or interest in the terminology, I really recommend the book. I got a copy for $3 on eBay, and it's also on http://b-ok.cc as a pdf or ebook formats.
Self-Made Men: Identity and Embodiment among Transsexual Men | Henry Rubin | download | B–OK. Download books for free. Find books
I think Bi Lesbian is a synonym for Homoromantic Bisexual (that’s how I heard it being described)
Has anyone done this yet
