Aber nur um einmal Minister zu sein, dass das irgendwo bei Wikipedia steht, das ist nicht mein Ding. Ich wär auch nicht erfolgreich gewesen. Wenn sie mich jetzt aufgestellt hätten, weiß ich nicht, als Gesundheitsminister, wär ich wahrscheinlich nicht erfolgreich gewesen; die Leite hätten gesagt "Warum wird der Gesundheitsminister, was hat der damit zu tun?" Und deswegen: Schuster, bleib bei deinen Leisten, mach das was du kannst.

-- Carsten Linnemann, Gesundheitsminister

unfortunately i do believe that every time i delay watching a film it’s because it’s going to find me at the perfect time

i think we should start openly mocking male creatives who can't figure out how to write women. like actually i think it's embarrassing that it took elliot page transitioning for christopher nolan to give him a good role. why did it take like ten years to get the first female lead in a marvel movie? why is it a Known Fact that stephen king can't write women? why is 50% of the population omitted from large ensemble works? i asked my friend to name a movie directed by a man with a majority female cast and he said ghostbusters 2016. ghostbusters. ghostbusters. g

I have noticed in recent years that men say “no homo” way less often than they used to when I was in high school at least. Like I’ve witnessed in media and online and in person adult men just willing to say “I love you” or “you look great” to their guy friends without tacking a no homo onto the end of it.

And if you think that’s not progress you weren’t there in the trenches.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’ve seen middle aged comedians on national tv sincerely say “I love you” to their friends with no jokes attached. Nature is so slow to heal but it is possible, I tell you. We have planted trees and seen them survive.

ladies… has anyone ever told you it’s okay to be feminine 🩷 i’m sure no one has ever ever ever reinforced this deeply held secret, that’s it’s okay for you to be feminine. 🩷 i know the world totally tries to tell you that you have to be manly and masculine and grow your body hair and eat as much as you want and get strong and stand up for yourself and make waves and take up space and show your bare face and show your anger. but it’s okay to do the exact opposite actually. 🩷 it’s okay to shrink yourself down to the exact same mold every other woman is expected to conform to. 🩷 did you know that it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 did you know it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 did you know it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 has anyone ever told you it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 will you be feminine. 🩷 will you be feminine. 🩷 will you be feminine. 🩷 will you just be feminine already. 🩷🩷🩷

british is not synonymous with white

european is not synonymous with white

the world is not divided into USA (melting pot), white countries and brown countries

"um you know the type of person I mean when I say british" hey do you think this line of thought may have Implications

[mortalityplays]

this post is about black and brown people in britain and europe who are just as british and european as their white neighbours. everyone in the notes taking it as a cue to yammer about distinctions between types of white people in britain and europe is doing exactly what the post describes. shut the fuck up.

it’s amazing how women are able to navigate crowded rooms without ever touching a palm to a man’s lower back

myhollanov have a real Zendaya and Tom Holland kind of public relationship post-TLG. outside of major publicity obligations, they’re practically unseen. they become masters of disguise. in public, Shane is extremely thoughtful and it’s kind of rare when he talks about his person to the press. Ilya on the other hand spills some domestic tidbit the moment a microphone is put in his face (like calling Shane by his middle name on the carpet at an awards show to get his attention).

being a queer german person and seeing the news fail to verbalise that the CSD attack in berlin was motivated by homophobia feels really crazy. i don't give a fuck where this person is from, the person who did this was homophobic and wanted us dead, and that is what we should be talking about. extremism has become far too normalised in this country and beyond. for one fucking second, talk about how normalised homophobia and is, talk about what a sad day it is for queer folks, about how we deserve to feel safe and that homophobia has no place in this country. can you actually care about us for once stop using us to fuel your islamophobia or hatred of immigrants.

really weird seeing posts on here about bullying by people who don't know how bullies work

[sickdogs]

like a lot of people on this site have been bullied and so they think they Get How Bullying works. and it's all like "ohhh they wouldn't have bullied me if they knew i was autistic and depressed" and like. even if they somehow didn't assume that, im sure they wouldn't have been nicer to you.

[sickdogs]

EXACTLY. they knew you were struggling with your mental health, they knew you were autistic, they knew you had anxiety, they KNEW. THEY KNEW.

[sickdogs]

ALSO. "bullies want power and control, they only bully you because they want to feel better about their lives" actually sometimes they bully you because they want to hurt you for fun. by the way

[sickdogs]

really good way to phrase it.

[sickdogs]

final thoughts for the night. a lot of bullying is done in passing and the bully doesn't usually think much of it. it goes something like: this person has a haircut that i think looks stupid -> "your haircut looks stupid" -> i have to get to math class. it's truly not like people usually go "i am a bully i am going to bully you" it's more along the lines of "you're a freak and im going to let you know because that's the truth and i want you to be embarrassed and hurt and then i'll move on with my day and forget you." the tree remembers but the axe didn't even think about it.
