It's a fun bit of written language evolution that there was a whole generation or two who use quote marks (other than for quotations) for emphasis, followed by a couple of generations who use them to denote sarcasm or obvious lies.

And so, Boomers and Millennials read signs proclaiming "hotdogs" for sale! and "fresh" oranges very differently.

I suspect that change can be linked to popular 90s comedy usage of air-quotes to denote sarcasm or bullshit.

saddest thing that can happen is a cat so delicately and cozy putting their small apple head on your leg like a pillow to sleep while fully unaware that in like five minutes you're going to get up to go eat because they don't know human language or how time works

I don't think men saying out of pocket shit to me on the internet is because they're men. everyday billions of men wake up and don't say out of pocket shit to me on the internet. this is clearly an active choice

genuinely one of the scariest and saddest kinds of conversations that I find myself regularly having with various women is where they will describe something that a man in their life has done or said to them that is absolutely horrific and then when you express horror about it they are just like "haha well you know how men are"

girl that is not how men are. I have many men in my life who I care about and none of them are like that. that man is not biologically compelled to treat you like shit. it's a choice he is making. ARERRGH

some of you can't read so to be clear this post is not

1. saying "not all men" or

2. denying the existence and impact of societal misogyny/patriarchy.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

i forget if i've mentioned this before on here, but when i was about 5 i was obsessed with monsters inc and watched it at least twice a week not because i especially liked it as a movie but simply because i was passionately in love with randall. and in fact the very first fanfiction i ever wrote was a monsters inc whump fanfiction about me finding randall in the swamp after he got beaten up with a shovel and tenderly nursing him back to health. all this to say i have been the person i am from an incredibly young age

tumblr is not social media. idk how to explain but its so calm here. like this is the field and the valleys. over there is the town and people. but here we are little sheep in our pastures eating our grass and laying in the sun <3

The idea that rural communities wouldn't benefit from public transit of some form is so fucking stupid. There was a guy in my hometown who would hitch hike 15 miles to the grocery store because he was blind that everyone knew and knew to offer rides to if they saw him. You know what else would have fixed this, been more efficient, and helped other disabled people, seniors, and people whose cars got repoed?

A fucking bus.
