real tired of being single and caught between "don't force anything, these things happen when you least expect them to" and "but i need to put myself out there to actually try to meet people"

sure he understands leftist theory but does he believe feminism is a worthwhile and rigorous school of thought which is inextricable from class struggle

There's so much anger and cultural anxiety around women thinking that committing rape is a permanent character disqualification that they don't ever have to forgive

One of the funniest things about Mormonism is that I’m sure Joseph Smith never believed any of the bullshit he said. There are some religions and cults where you have faith the original prophet actually thought they were talking to angels or believed the set of principles they laid out for their followers were for the greater good. Joseph Smith was a dumbass but like PT Barnum he realized a sucker was born every day and he was one step above the average 1830s sucker. He went from making people pay him to look at a rock in a top hat and ‘locate buried treasure’ to receiving lost bits of scripture, through the rock and top hat method. His wife caught him cheating and he said an angel visited him and told him men should be allowed multiple wives and not obeying that would send her to hell. I’m fairly convinced that dude was an atheist. He was on that hustler grindset. Brigham Young might have actually believed some of the shit he said but I don’t think Joseph Smith genuinely had faith in Mormonism or gave a fuck about humanity in the slightest.

Few people hustle and scam so hard that they’re considered a martyr and a prophet 200 years later and their fanfiction is considered serious lost biblical scripture even though they stole lines from Shakespeare.

Being a liberal Dem voter is just feeling like this constantly

A lot of leftist men who thought backlash against feminism had changed things enough that they didn’t have to pretend to care about any of the horrible things Platner has done to women (and for whom part of the appeal was likely the thought of sticking it to “dem hr lady woke scold politics”) frantically deleting posts today and beginning an intense campaign of “we’re all trying to find who did this” gaslighting. I hope they all continue to be confronted with the receipts we have of all the disgusting things they’ve said and done throughout this mess for the rest of their miserable lives and careers.

Wow, who could’ve guessed the Nazi tattoo guy already shown to be a serial cheater would also be a rapist?

[larkandkatydid]

1) this is apparently true and is hilarious and

2) the amount of stupid shit, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather at least a little silly to the Word of God that I’m having to start entertaining simply to spite JD Vance grows daily.

But, honestly, I know they made him take a class. Was he just drawing a cool S on his notebook when they covered that one?

Whatttt is with the tendency of Tumblr users to seek absolution from every single person who offhandedly posts about disagreeing with something they do

I say this not unkindly, but firmly: to function as a member of a social species, you have to get comfortable with the idea that not everyone will like you
