someone: an alarming number of young girls are being pressured to contour and highlight their faces so that they look 10 years older, which is already not great, and then they take all their selfies with an app that makes their faces slimmer and their skin lighter and their eyes bigger and this is MAYBE not great for their self esteem

a grown adult, somehow: makeup is a choice, IDIOT, and Snapchat filters are ALL for FUN, I don’t ACTUALLY wanna look like a DOG haha………. society is fake and kids can just CHOOSE not to be influenced by the things that are thrown at them 24/7!!! i am very smart

A grown adult, proving that age doesn’t beget wisdom or even basic comprehension skills: lol someone’s mad because their eyeliner sucks :)

Republicans are so uniformly beholden to their symbol of racism, they are willing to go ‘all hands on deck’ to destroy the country.

No thought was EVER put into the downside of the Trump government shutdown.

Alternative to the tired old wizard-with-a-sugar-daddy interpretation of the patron/warlock relationship in Dungeons & Dragons:

Clueless boss and long-suffering employee, whose powers are basically the magical equivalent of pilfering office supplies for personal use

Scheming master and duplicitous apprentice who are totally open about their loathing for each other and are keen to see who betrays whom first

Bureaucratic devil and soul-peddling diabolist with a contract a mile long, each honestly believing they’re getting the better of the other

Glowering quartermaster and loose-cannon operative, whose record for getting results just barely justifies the expense of employing them

Indifferent parent who pays their estranged offspring’s allowance like clockwork but otherwise prefers to deal with them as little as possible

Vast, slumbering god-monster and amoral parabiologist who knows which spots to poke with a stick to provoke particular autonomic responses

the creators of superman really named a small town “smallville” and a big city “metropolis” didn’t they 

[grandmapuncher]

[captainsnoop-deactivated2020041]

im back bich

my blog is back and has been officially un-hacked. huge apologies for flooding everyone’s feeds last week, and thankyou to @support​ for recognising the issue and helping me getting it back under control. 

once whoever it was got access they pretty much instantly changed my login email & password so there was no way i could get back in to fix the account. this was apparently worryingly easy to do (it required NO confirmation email to my regular email account or anything like that which seems like sort of a security oversight) so… I guess be careful!

fwiw no idea how it happened - I don’t use any 3rd party apps at all and id like to think as someone who grew up with the internet i’m pretty good about not clicking on any obvious suspicious links or getting my login details phished. at a guess i think it was maybe some kind of vulnerability in the blog theme i was using so for now i’ve reset it to one of tumblr’s default ones. 

i dont even think i lost that many followers but if you’re reading this, thanks for sticking around. the blog being back is kind of weird because i sort of already mourned it. my online presence is so fucking fragile lol

on the one hand there are many aspects of academia that should be criticized but on the other hand i’m concerned about the rise of anti-intellectualism as a tool of fascism

Hey yo what the fuck does this say in English? Because if you can’t explain in layman’s terms you’re not doing a good job of getting your point across to everyone.
