Capitalism kills.

Republicans deregulating kills.

Anti-prevention reactionary ignorance kills.

Performative feminism is a most annoying aspect of our times.

Pornography for the Price of Cocktails

They could only dream of a future where porn is free and cocktails cost $20

If a girl feels uncomfortable hanging out with you alone, and you get so offended by that, it makes you angry, she probably made the right choice.

[timeforsocialjustice-blog]

I know I’ve reblogged this recently but still so spot the fuck on.

[killingannabellee]

In general if a dude gets angry by you declining an invitation you made the right choice to say no

[lynati]

If they get angry when you say “no” to hanging out with them, what else are they going to get angry about you saying “no” to?

^^ Slight side note: When I was online dating I used to do what so many of us do; set up a safety check with a friend. I used to be really slick about it; take a restroom break or quietly/subtle check and answer a text. Then I realized what a good marker it was to check if I wanted to actually be on this date at all. So at whatever time check in was supposed to be, I would pull out my phone and say “sorry, I just have to let my friend know I’m good”. If someone was vaguely offended, I might stay depending on the convo we had after. If someone was SUPER offended, I said “this is exactly why. Thanks for meeting me, I’ve got to go.”  This happened three times I can remember and the first time my voice was shaking so bad as I said it because, you know. You never know what their response is going to be and he was so aggressively angry I was ending the date “over that”. 

The person I ended up with? “Ah, yay-I’m-not-murdered check. Good plan.” Then when my phone was buzzing later (because we ended up on a five hour date on a Monday night) he goes “you should probably let them know you’re still alive. Do you have to go?” 

 *No woman I was ever on a date with was mad about this. Not one.

This is just like testing the breaks before driving an unfamiliar car guys, and you do NOT drive a car with no breaks. If they can’t handle “no,” it’s not safe for you to say, “yes,” and you need to gtfo of there so you don’t get run over.

Also, OP I love your url, it is perfect for this post.

this is real! you can fax, mail, or dropoff in person, but there is no provision for online registration.

ELECTION CODE CHAPTER 13. APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION; INITIAL REGISTRATION

[pleaseexcusemyderp]

TL;DR: The Texas government is trying to trick you into thinking you've registered to vote online when that's not possible.

[waknatious]

This has not been circulated widely enough.

If you know someone in TX, pleeeeease make sure they see this.

What's so worrying about this is that it's specifically targeted at younger people.

"I'm not handing someone a piece of paper.... wtf"

"Mail? As in... put a stamp on it? Where tf would I get a stamp??"

"FAX???? You have got to be joking rn."

Younger people statistically vote more liberal than conservative. By tricking younger and "more online than not" people into using a fake registration service, the state of TX makes sure that fewer liberal votes are counted.

SPREAD THIS.

“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma

and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND

[tuesdayisfordancing]

I didn’t know about zeugmas until just now! That is so awesome, everybody: 

zeug·ma ˈzo͞oɡmə/

noun

a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g.,John and his license expired last week ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g., with weeping eyes and hearts ).

ISN’T THAT AWESOME??

[professorsparklepants]

#in english class in high school my teacher had us write our own zeugmas in class#and one guy came up with ‘he fell from her favor… and the window’#i am forever looking for opportunities to use that one

Block any account that tells you not to vote.

You don’t need to waste your time investigating whether they are a bot or a psy-op or a misinformed rube. It doesn’t matter. Either way, they add no value to your dashboard. Block and move on.

Then make a plan for Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Register, confirm you’re still registered, check your voting location or register to vote absentee or by mail.

Remember: Anyone who tells you voting is pointless is trying to suppress your vote.

[kaelio]

Saying "voting doesn't matter" might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn't reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn't missed a one.
