The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”

Drives me genuinely insane that kids-only spaces on the internet like Club Penguin were destroyed because companies realised that there’s only so much profit you can squeeze out of children with no disposable income, so now kids are being forced into adult spaces on the internet where the profit model is to find the most viewers you can passively expose to ads that nobody is clicking on so all online media is slowly turning into Mr Beast Elsagate nightmares, and for adults this means giving your ID to companies owned by businessmen with Epstein connections to keep the kids “safe.” Clown internet.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

so truly genuinely we need to get more funding towards freaks and perverts to make weird horny movies and tv and art i would rather watch someone’s barely disguised fetish with an interesting point of view than another soulless corporate shell with boring beautiful actors and nothing to say

If Spider-Gwen had a bi flag on her wall there wouldn’t be any debate as to whether or not she was really bi

[biblicallyaccuratemoth]

“Oh but I think that it’s that her version of Peter was trans so that’s why—”

This conversation would not exist if it was a bi flag or a pan flag or an ace flag

Why are you so eager to convince yourself that she’s not a trans woman? Why is that?

[biblicallyaccuratemoth]

“I don’t mind characters being trans but I hate that it’s made their whole personality can’t it just be that they’re trans and the narrative doesn’t have the call all this attention to it? Just let it be subtly there”

Aight here’s a trans woman who’s narrative is thematically linked with her transness in a way that enriches both her story, her characterization, and the story around her who doesn’t ever mention that she’s trans (but y’know she has a trans flag in her room in the background subtly like you asked)

“Uhhhh yeah she isn’t trans where does it say that she’s trans and also why would it matter that she’s trans? Stop projecting yourself onto fictional characters”

Being even mildly politically aware is hell. "Why is gas so high???" Bitch i outta smack you

Idk I have so little patience for willfully ignorant people. You know the entire plot of Fruit Love Island or whatever the fuck but can't take an hour outta your day to look up why everything is falling apart around you? Embarrassing

The Wife was on the phone with her MAGA mom yesterday who asked her "Why is the job market bad right now? Why can't Shapoopy find work?"

Idk maybe because your guy singlehandedly fucked the stability of global markets with his tariffs and the first thing that always comes with economic uncertainty is layoffs and reduced hiring? And that's saying nothing of the fact that he's gutted academic and scientific budgets to the point that only maintenance grant proposals are even being realistically considered?

Which for me as an energy scientist in the DC area where 90% of the non-DoD research jobs are federally funded, just makes the problem exponentially worse because now I'm competing for an extremely small number of jobs against a grossly oversaturated pool of local job-seekers who almost universally have more experience and qualifications than I do.

Like, I just cannot understand her inability to make the straightforward connection between "Trump got rid of all the jobs" and "Shapoopy still can't find a job." At this point I don't even think it's willful ignorance, I really think she's just that dumb.

Oh yeah, cat in a box, very original

if you ever interact with someone who is mentally ill/mad/pathologised or disabled in some way, assume they are trying hard enough. act as if they are trying hard enough. dont even consider it an option that they arent trying hard enough. if they are failing to meet some goal or expectation, it is despite trying hard enough.

I’m gonna propose “I guess you haven’t read the silmarillion then :/” as a default response to anyone not understanding a reference to something obscure. even if it’s not remotely Tolkien related. I want to build up a perception that perhaps the sum total of human knowledge is contained in the silmarillion
