[degenerate-perturbation]

yeah I’m a nonpracticing woman. I was raised female but I don’t really believe anymore yknow?

[tailornorata]

I’m culturally female. I don’t really believe in one true gender, but I do participate in some of the rituals I was raised in, when I feel like it. And I enjoy participating in the traditions of other genders too sometimes.

[xeduo]

I’m only female on Christmas and Easter, for my parents.

[raevenlywrites]

I’m not really into the whole female dogma, but the aesthetic went off, ya know?

[tatiletotesamaze]

why does this feel so true?

[knamil]

This is funny, but I read the first line like “nonpracticing doctor”. You went to school to become a woman, but you didn’t bother to get your woman license so now you just use your woman knowledge to write particularly detailed murder mysteries.

[degenerate-perturbation]

Yes exactly thank you

[petralemaitre]

man, I have very little sympathy for people who’re like “I gotta let them play in traffic, my cat WAILS and acts MISERABLE unless I let them outside!” 

because like……….so does mine? at a certain point each day Grim decides she wants out, and until that happens she a) follows me about SCREAMING, and b) sits atop whatever I’m doing and bites my hands. this is not an exageration

wanna know what I do? I take her out. either supervised in my backyard or on leash in the front

she naps in the sunlight, eats copious amounts of grass, rolls in dirt, and murders butterflies. after 15-30 minutes (equivalent to the time you’d spend on a neighbourhood dog walk) I take Grim back in, and she happily sleeps/plays/cuddles indoors for the remainder of the day

it’s legitimately low-effort

[pangur-and-grim]

the UK literally had so many pet cats killed by cars and dismembered by wildlife between 2014 – 2018 that the country thought there was a cat serial killer on the loose.  

and that wasn’t the first time, either – the EXACT same situation played out in the UK in 1990 because so many pet cats were dying in “safe neighbourhoods”

you want more information on your “culture”? cats kill 55 million birds per year in the UK.

do you understand the significance of that? the average background extinction rate is 1 per million species year, and cats have caused SIXTY-THREE extinctions of small animals in the last century. we’re currently in the midst of a mass-extinction crisis occurring at a speed we haven’t seen on this planet before……like, Iove your cat, love your planet, or get the fuck off my post.

[pangur-and-grim]

bringing this back because HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) is passing through North America right now, and is transmissible to cats through respiratory means or the eating of infected meats. this virus can kill cats, so please! keep them indoors!

my unpopular opinion is that i hate tiktok because now people just publicly watch loud ass videos in public spaces with no regard for anyone else. 100% it was not this bad with youtube, it’s such a different thing with tiktok. put on headphones. you are grown.

This is it! This is what social media/smart tech have done! They’ve rotted away any distinction between private and public.

Yes, we do have the right to make demands on public behavior. Of course we do. Have you never heard of laws and etiquette? I’m not allowed to grocery shop naked. You can’t rummage through my purse. I can’t have a work meeting in the middle of a movie theatre.

I remember when it was taboo simply to answer your cell phone in public. The person answering would apologize and try to go to a more private area. Then public calls were normalized. Then putting people on speaker. Then listening to music without headphones. Do you know how many times I have hiked up a mountain or driven to the beach, only to be met with someone blaring shitty top 40 music from their portable speaker, because Heaven forbid you go one hour without noise?

Old woman yells at cloud and all that, but I can’t believe someone is not only admitting this behavior, but saying it’s a good thing! No one likes you! You’re a menace!

Absolute control and submission.

This is the problem. Conservatives assume everyone is like them but with different priorities. They think the opposite of authoritarianism is queer authoritarianism, and the opposite of colonialism is the colonial oppression of white people. It doesn’t occur to them that people who aren’t on top of an oppressive regime could want anything other than to be on top of an oppressive regime.

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

Also why they think disabled people are “faking it” and “taking advantage of the system” - because they absolutely would (and do) cheat and steal to get what they want so of course that’s what we’re doing. It never occurs to them that an accommodation is in fact at best giving us the same access they expect as a bare minimum. To them it’s always a “perk” or a “freebie” and we don’t deserve it. If anyone deserves that it’s them.

[raeseddon]

I have been saying this for years. Hardline conservatives can’t comprehend that when feminism talks about “equality of the sexes” they mean equality. There’s no world to them but a world where everyone is trying to vie for the ability to oppress everyone else. The idea that progressives want equality of the sexes and racial justice goes in their ears and comes out as “women and POC want to exterminate white men.”

I have a 45 loving Fox News watching stereotype boomer family member who unabashedly worships the fact that “he’s so smart he scammed us all out of paying taxes.” He values deceit and self gain and admires those who pursue their own self gain even if it’s at his expense because he thinks he “should have been smarter” or whatever. He can’t understand any of my socialist views because he is so messed up in his soul that it’s beyond him that anyone could actually care about other people’s well being and society generally. He can’t even hear me saying how he’d personally benefit from expanded access to health care, education, etc. because he’s convinced everyone who is not him or his direct family members is always trying to scam him because he’s always trying to scam others.
