Gender politics was a fucking mistake. Ppl will really be like "men don't have the capacity to have authentic, normal human emotions like women do" and act like that's peak feminism and not an utterly fucking deranged thing to say about another person
why do I still see you in my dreams when you no longer want to be there?
Someday we will have a cartoon show where the cat is male and the dog is female but the world is not ready for that yet
These are a compilation of tweets I found and saved on my phone as reminders for when I feel like I need to feel validated or reminded that I am a worthy person no matter what and I thought you guys might need those too (part 5)

That’s not the POINT he made it back with his FRIENDS
So I just learnt there’s this actual thing called the Super Pink Moon, thanks to dust particles in the atmosphere.
ok well this blew my mind
In Pilgrim Bell, Kaveh Akbar reaches across languages to write "documents of barbarism."
This is also true with filmmakers. Western filmmakers pan their cameras mostly left to right and Iranian filmmakers do right to left.
Time seems such a universal concept and then I find out the different ways people perceive everything and remember “it’s all appearances to consciousness”

image 1: text reading, “People who write from left to right tend to imagine time flowing in that direction—and vice-versa. Cognitive psychologists have shown that when giving native speakers of English a series of photographs of the same person at different ages and asking the speakers to put the images in order, they will typically arrange the pictures chronologically from youngest to oldest, left to right. Farsi speakers will perform the same task from right to left.”

so last night when i was trying to sleep y’know it was dark and quiet and my eyes were closed but then i suddenly started laughing because i remembered this gif
i’m starting to realize the “friendship where we bully each other” thing is a complicated subject for me, because as a survivor of bullying and my interests being mocked for basically my entire life, i don’t really find it funny or endearing when pals do it. i don’t mind gentle insults and inside jokes, but idk, there has to be a point where you go “maybe i shouldn’t cut on my friend’s new oc or special interest” and stop yourself. i think we should all try a little harder to know that boundary and not put our friends in those situations
My best friend and I used to greet each other with insults (“hey bitch!” “wassup slut?”) and generally poke fun at each other all the time. It’s how we showed affection, just constant little pokes and prods and minor nuisances. But I noticed that these exchanges were wearing her down through little behavioral ticks, like she’d go quiet or her laugh wasn’t as bubbly. So I changed how I show her affection and now scream “hi Dawn I love you :D” at the top of my lungs when I say hi. And I hear her stifle a giggle and she answers with either “love you too” or “hiiiii, love you!!!” depending on her mood at the time.
It’s fine to have a close friendship where you can pretend to be mean to each other and you both understand that none of that meanness is real. But the second it starts to feel real to either of you, that behavior should change.
i think that like, little jokes and ribbing can be okay but you need to make sure you’re not always bullying someone about the same thing constantly
like joking ‘hey idiot!’ is fine, but if you call one of your friends stupid all the time and literally never let them have any identity other than ‘the stupid one’, thats not a joking friendship. that’s actual bullying.
It’s the difference between teasing and bullying.
It’s all about boundaries
the reason bisexual and nonbinary people get so much hate is because we challenge the idea that people can be separated into little boxes to stop them from mixing with and “corrupting” the others. doesn’t matter which bathroom i use, if they’re marked with a binary gender then i’m gonna be in there with people who aren’t my gender. doesn’t matter who i date (or don’t), there’s always the potential that i could date someone with a gender different from previous partners. we are living breathing proof that any attempt to contain human gender & sexuality is doomed to failure and i think that’s very sexy of us
someone made the extremely valid point in the tags that this also applies to pan people, agender people, and aroace people, which it absolutely does. what’s up my pals, let’s be queer and do crimes destroy the cisheteropatriarchy together
hello yes this is an excellent example of what ‘queer’ actually means and why it’s important. queer means ‘does not fit your standard boxes, society, whatcha gonna do about it?’
saw this floating around on twitter thought it could be a fun rb game (source) (source2)
The pandemic decimated workers so hard that there literally isn't enough longshoreman to unload boats which is leading to an internal collapse of the supply chain. It seems that ignoring covid because only 1% of people die was a completely idiotic and downright homocidal idea that has done nothing but kill laborers and ruin the economy.
Because of all the mass death, labor is seeing a surge in its power, but at what cost truly. I hope w/ the coming wave of strikes there is finally some grappling with the fact that millions of people senselessly died so that the ruling class could continue exploiting poor workers. There wasn't any sacrifice, this was mass murder.
Not just mass death, also mass disabling. Someone who works in an office at a desk is going to have a more manageable time returning even with reduced lung capacity and stamina than someone in intensely physical jobs like being a long shoreman. I keep seeing people saying that the 600,000+ dead aren’t coming back to the labor market, which is true. But it leaves out a vast number of people who aren’t dead and are also never coming back to work.
What also happened:
Nobody started being a longshoreman in the last year and a half. Last summer, basically nobody said, "hmm, I'm young and strong and I'm okay with doing serious physical labor, also my family's worked on and around ships for generations - I guess I'll be like my dad/uncle/older sister/etc. and get a job as a longshoreman." (Even if people wanted the job: Nobody was hiring last summer. Businesses weren't open, weren't shipping anything other than necessities.)
It's always been a job with heavy attrition. People get injured, get sick, get disabled, and quit. And new young-strong-hardworking people sign up for the next opening.
Nobody's replacing them now.
And in the past, there's never been a heavy push to get people to sign up. There are no "become a LONGSHOREMAN!!!" posters in the career center. It's widely know as "what you do if you have brawn and not much else going for you." It pays just enough to keep people from spending their off-work hours looking for something else, not enough to actually convince people to sign up if they have an array of other options.
...Everyone is now looking into other options.
And the laborers in the shipping industry - longshoremen, truckers, warehouse workers, delivery people - have always been treated as expendables, as fungible human resources soon to be replaced.
If you want to join the schadenfreude popcorn club, watch the news media go into increasing panic mode as they try so very very hard to talk about "supply chain failures" without talking about the people who made it function for so long. Watch politicians and business moguls wring their hands and mumble about "but what can we do???" while dancing around the topic of, "um... maybe provide a living wage and health care?" without acknowledging it exists.
Of course, none of them will get as far as "maybe provide BONUSES for people who agree to do the work you all believe desperately needs to get done." No, they'll talk about providing "incentive" to business owners, not to the workers.
