happy aromantic visibilty day to one of my fav fandom wiki comments

[xx-k1tsun3-k1d-xx]

very telling that even if you’re not allowed to view content related to self harm/suicide/eating disorders due to not giving up your ID on the uk internet you will still be shown relentless ads for weight loss drugs and fad diets showing unrealistic/AI generated bodies and unhealthy methods and time frames for weight loss that can only be achieved by starvation. oh and also so so many gambling ads. relentless ads for gacha and gambling services. almost like it’s not actually about protecting kids at all or something

[quasi-normalcy]

So what I think is that there's this default belief in patriarchy that men are superior to women and therefore the "masculine" sphere is superior to the "feminine" sphere. And so, as feminists have fought to expand the number of allowable female activities, men (on the aggregate over generations) have retreated from those activities because they're now seen as "feminine", and so partaking in them is incommensurate with their belief in their own superiority. And, unfortunately, as this has progressed, this has resulted in a lot of men sectioning themselves off from, frankly, everything that actually makes being alive worthwhile. It's a misery spiral, and the only way out is to abandon male supremacy.

[quasi-normalcy]

Anyway, this is by way of explaining why we, as a society, now equate masculinity with belligerent stupidity but still enshrine it as a good thing.

Yes, we know that to make any possible mild dent in imperialistic power structures all native English speakers alive will first have to become fluent in every other language currently spoken. Why don’t you tell us something whose only viable answer isn’t a self-demonstrating strawman of itself.

When I'm in a putting words in someone's mouth competition and my opponent is a fucking gringo.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

"gringos have to learn every single language on earth" is not only not "the only viable answer" to language imperialism, it's also not a position I or anyone is advocating for, and there are counter-arguments I could make here but frankly this ask is so self-evidently stupid that I'm not going to debase myself by engaging with it any further than this.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Actually I'm gonna debase myself a little bit and just a little bit:

It's extremely telling that when you see me point out that Language Imperialism Bad your mind immediately goes to "forcing all anglo pigs to learn every language on earth" as the only answer anyone could ever be advocating for, and the possibility of "not forcing everyone else in the world to learn english if they want to get anywhere in life" doesn't even cross your mind. Really shows who in this equation you see as people and who you see as static background decoration, no?

You probably will have someone in particular in mind and I certainly do as I'm writing this, but here it is: If there's a trans woman with a platform who keeps using the platform to do stupid and/or harmful things over and over again, and you feel caught between the rock of "transfems are treated as more disposable and experience way harsher social punishment because of transmisogyny and are already in a very precarious position" and the hard place of "this shit fucking sucks", you do not have to litigate it in public.

You can just unfollow her, block her, whatever, and if you gotta talk about it you can chat to a friend. You don't need to post "this behaviour sucks but [10,000 words about transmisogyny]" or the worse alternative "I don't want to contribute to the pile-on, but [10,000 words contributing to the pile-on]". You can just unfollow.

Just a casual reminder that posting on the internet about how you would want to do physical harm to members of the US government is something that they can (and will) detain you over, so just be careful what you say in public spaces like, uh, on Tumblr.

[nudityandnerdery]

I have got bad news for you about how connecting to the internet works and how corporations will respond to requests from the government.

[hearthfire-heartfire]

this is your semi-regular reminder that tumblr has cooperated with the fbi to hand over user information in a very public way at least once. and that's not the only way the feds can collect information on you either

The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.

When the topic becomes about racism between children you very quickly realise children of colour aren't seen as children but as some other thing that should just take the abuse and then forgive the Real White Children because they didn't know better. They don't understand it but children of colour can and will very early in their youth.

number one thing i want for public bathrooms is for them to be unisex accessible safe private and clean. number two thing i want for pubic bathrooms is for them to have flat surfaces in the stalls you can put your handheld items down on when youre shittin. ive encountered it in like two bathrooms ever and it changed my life for real.

[tiredyke]

can’t even criticize the diet industry or the recent wave in misogyny and return of thinspo with the rise of ozempic as a weight loss drug without everyone having this knee jerk reaction to defend “women’s rights” to be malnourished and conform to white patriarchal beauty standards in the name of feminism. god forbid we not encourage eating disorders and unhealthy body image in women. choice feminism is a disease and everyone is licking the rats it’s driving me crazy
