I would like to personally apologize to every teacher whose projects I overthought as a kid to the point that I could barely do them

5th grade teacher: alright class! This week we’re going to be doing something a little different! I want you all to focus on helping others, then you should write down every good deed you’ve done in your notebooks!

10 year old me, absolutely overthinking the shit out of this: but it feels wrong to do good deeds only to gain something in return, isn’t it inherently bad if my reason for helping isn’t just to help but so I can boast about it in a notebook?

Teacher: just… Just do the project please

[lmpressionismus]

8th grade teacher: alright class, please write a letter from the view of a person experiencing this historical event

14 year old me, staring at my paper: how am i supposed to do that when we only summed up what happened? what are the details someone experiencing this would focus on? what were the opinions of people about that? what words that are long since out of fashion would I use? what was the culture like back then and what references would someone make? If I don’t do it it sounds unrealistic and fake can we please do more research first

8th grade teacher: …just do the exercise please

Actually you know what? Stop calling me out like this, I still overthink the shit out of everything I ever do

i learned that the world record for the loudest thing ever shouted belongs to an Irish female teacher who shouted the word “quiet” at 121 decibels, the equivalent of a jet engine (x)

I used to think Shakespeare was pretentious until I saw a local production of Romeo and Juliet where Benvolio and Mercutio did a synchronised dab and honestly it’s what Shakespeare would have wanted

cyberpunk did it again

shut up about how cyberpunk “isn’t transphobic anymore” for fucks sake its literally got a “haha woman with a dick” joke and i swear to god if one of you says “its satire!” it isn’t its literally just “hahaha woman has penis how shocking” its indistinguishable from a transphobicc joke in any way shape or form

[bunnyalope]

i’m going to request that non-trans women reblog this (and make sure to tag it as transmisogyny ffs)

Don’t confuse my hatred of the hyperwealthy for jealousy over what they have. I don’t want a six figure sports car, or a 40 room mansion, or a gold leaf truffle wagyu steak dinner. I want redistribution of wealth that allows for infrastructural support of all citizens’ basic survival needs.

why are cyberpunk tabletop things so obsessed with decency and personhood being tied to how many surgeries you haven’t had

“if you have a prosthetic it takes out a part of your soul” like thanks shadowrun

[rlyehtaxidermist]

in early cyberpunk, the point was more along the lines of “if we integrate technology into our bodies we risk becoming dependent upon the people and institutions who control that technology, who would then use that to enrich themselves at our expense”

unfortunately that was too anti-corporate for American mainstream culture so as cyberpunk moved out of its niche it became “uhhh it eats your soul I guess”

We’re getting pretty close to having adults who weren’t alive during 9/11, and we really need to admit at this point that the overemphasis on 9/11 in the US is just a propaganda machine to indoctrinate the younger generations into nationalism and to justify all the horrible war crimes the US committed in the Middle East, and the continued mistreatment and distrust towards refugees.

[browngirlsgang]

more people died in hurricane maria than in 9/11 but nobody gives a shit because we can’t use it to justify imperialism

[cowgirlmilkers]

The subsequent war in Afghanistan has resulted in 30,000+ civilian deaths, more than 10 times the death toll of 9/11

Just a PSA, because I didn’t know, “wealthy elite” is frequently used as an antisemitic dogwhistle, so avoid using it to describe capitalists.

[date-a-jew-suggestions]

As a Jewish anti-capitalist, I generally tend to stay away from using the word “elite” or “elites” to refer to anyone ever. Just say rich people/billionaires/capitalists/the wealthy.
