"Family-friendly" has been a dogwhistle for all kinds of evil horseshit since at LEASE my childhood, 40+ years ago.
Don't fall for it. And don't let pro-LGBT+ people use that language without challenging it, it's a direct fucking quote from our oppressors.
That’s how I like it !
love answering "yes, you look great!" when someone asks if they look fat

Nobody asked me but at the end of the day I think that “facial recognition government ID age verification to access the website to protect the children” is sort of like if we mandated an 18+ government-issued licensing exam to remain horizontal for excess of 5 seconds in public back during the planking trend of 2011
My point being: it’s a waste of resources, it’s going to harm and bother more than it’s going to help, and frankly if your kid can find a way to get hurt doing it then that’s really more of a life lesson/personal development thing than a “upend society” thing anyways, and it could probably be resolved better by a single sit-down-and-talk session with their parents
I’ve just done the math and realized that 2011 was now nearly 15 years ago but to the younger folks out there we used to do this for fun
OH MY GOD
thinking fondly of this meme I made for a coworker years and years ago
My edo period samurai roommate keeps telling me how i’ll bring shame and dishonor to our apartment if I keep forgetting to wash the dishes. Like whatever dude, I’m not the one carrying on a passionate yet illicit affair with the daimyo’s daughter whose hand has already been promised to another.

Bullshit dude last night I saw you texting O-Sumire haikus comparing her to the flower which gives her her name
Hungry before going to work but my work lunch is a burger so I’m just taking a half eaten burger in a loose paper bag into the office
I got my burger on a plate once I got to work and acted like I took bites so no one was the wiser
when will your sick lies end
Hi it seems like you made a post but forgot to make it about me?
Don't worry though, i can add my own comment that shows i didn't understand your original post
they should invent an existence where the sweetest, most thoughtful people you've ever met don't suffer an endless series of indignities and injuries at the hands of gormless, self-obsessed monsters
This guy alone just filled my "live your life with passion" quota for the year.
Funniest thing is the quick "settle down mate" and the dip into the Australian accent as he gushes over how pretty it is.
Knowing herpetologists: literally every one of them under 40 was influenced by Steve Irwin. The Austrailian accent and repetition of Irwinesque phrases (what a beauty, look at the size of this fella) is involuntary but an important part of the snake catching ritual.
There was an observable phenomenon for decades of airline pilots adopting a sort of quasi-Appalachian drawl. They all wanted to be Chuck Yeager, the man who broke the sound barrier and one of the greatest pilots you ever saw, who had a voice like the West Virginia hollers come to life.
I like seeing that Steve Irwin has had a similar influence.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I, as a trans woman, do not know what it is to be a man. I know what it’s like to be surrounded by men, to be picked apart by them, to have masculinity enforced on me and to have my femininity degraded. I know what it’s like to be targeted for punishment, physically and sexually, for my femininity, for a girlhood the boys and men could see in me, to be queerbashed, to have my head slammed into hard surfaces, to have my genitals fondled, to be injured in all kinds of small and repetitive ways with things like pens, compasses, and so on.
I know what it’s like to be assumed to be a man, and to be abused because I am not. I know what it’s like to be separated from my female friends as a young child because my status as a ‘boy’ meant that I needed to be placed with the other boys, the ones who degraded me and hurt me. I know what it’s like to be beaten and burned. I know what it’s like to have teachers make an example of me because I cannot conform. I know what it’s like to be made afraid of being around other people, because people means abuse.
But I don’t know what it is to be a man. Even after everything they tried, I wasn’t one.
The fact that socialization is a specious argument became obvious to me during an exchange I had with a trans-woman-exclusionist who insisted that my being raised male was the sole reason in her mind for me to be disqualified from entering women-only spaces. So I asked her if she was open to allowing trans women who are anatomically male but who have been socialized female—something that’s not all that uncommon for MTF children these days. She admitted to having concerns about their attending. Then, I asked how she would feel about a person who was born female yet raised male against her will, and who, after a lifetime of pretending to be male in order to survive, finally reclaimed her female identity upon reaching adulthood. After being confronted with this scenario, the woman conceded that she would be inclined to let this person enter women-only space, thus demonstrating that her argument about male socialization was really an argument about biology after all. In fact, after being pressed a bit further, she admitted that the scenario of a young girl who was forced against her will into boyhood made her realize how traumatic and dehumanizing male socialization could be for someone who was female-identified. This, of course, is exactly how many trans women experience their own childhoods.
