She enunicated this SO PERFECTLY and completely in a single tweet. A whole informed essay in a single tweet. Your fave could never!

Same problem we have with cops. Police are more likely to have certain characteristics and personality flaws not because becoming a cop makes you that way, although that may amplify the effects, but rather, men with these problems gravitate to the position. That’s why so many bullies end up becoming cops

[kaleighbytheway]

You pointing out the cops means I need to point out; Female bullies tend to go into nursing! A position that puts them in power, and gives them control over people. If you knew a girl in highschool who was just an awful human being but thought she was great? Chances are she went into nursing.

It's not only threatening the profession, it's putting patients' lives at risk.

tired: mermaids are all women

wired: much like elves, merfolk are mistaken by sailors for being all women because they have long hair and are very pretty

[valtsv]

inspired: merfolk actually have very different concepts of gender to humans because they're an entirely different species with their own unique culture

[valtsv]

marine scientist: what's your gender?

merperson: what's a gender

marine scientist: like, are you a man or a woman?

merperson: i'm merfolk

marine scientist: no, like, what's in your pants?

merperson: i don't... wear any? i don't have legs?

[9lunarseas6-deactivated20240914]

It’s a biological fact that fish do indeed change their sex to keep the male/female ratio balanced in their school population. So this fluidity actually makes more sense from a scientific standpoint than the silly idea that merfolk are born with a strictly assigned sex like humans.

[witchcraft-in-wonderland]

Merfolk are all canonically genderfluid and we love them for that

[anonymous-lizard]

Human: (invites merfolk friend to a boat party with their friends)

Merfolk: oh man, there are a lot of women here. Haha don’t worry guys, I got this :) *changes into a man to keep a balance because that’s culturally polite for merfolk*

Human: (spits drink) what the FUCK

I love the flight response when it’s triggered by something innocuous. This is the human equivalent of cats getting spooked by sudden cucumbers.

I hope they bought that guy a new lunch. He really dropped his croissant

[mars-janka]

now that i think about it... the legend of zelda in many ways is just like the barbie franchaise...

[blog-of-the-wildd]

can... can u elaborate?

[mars-janka]

correct me if i’m wrong but the barbie franchaise also has many alternate timelines and realities, ones with mermaids the others with fairies, but what they have in common is barbie. barbie is the link of barbie franchaise, she’s always there, she’s always the hero

know what i mean??

MY TA SHOT SOMEONE IN THE FOOT AND THE PROFESSOR WAS SO FUCKING QUICK LMAOOO

[narwhalsarefalling]

some context 

1. my TA, Ralph, shot his girlfriend’s abusive ex in the foot

2. abusive ex was also a sex offender

3. he shot him when ex came buy to pick some stuff up from girlfriend and tried to take some of Ralph’s items as well

4. ex is stable and alive in a hospital

5. i didn’t do assignment 8 so i am very happy

[narwhalsarefalling]

some more Facts About Ralph

he is whiter then snow. this man is pure 100% american redneck in everything but the politics. this is intimidating if you dont know him because he owns like 3 different guns but also has animated discussions about “how his sister should be able to get married” when you bring up lgbt rights. his sister isnt even gay or trans or anything, he just thinks that LGBT rights also means that the lady should propose when she wants to. hes a little confused but he got the spirit. upon finding out that i am queer he said, word for word “THATS FUCKING RADICAL HOMIE” 

in the first week of school he snorted a line of pepper in the cafeteria and threw up.

the only other crime hes committed before was accidently dropping a weight from his balcony and cracking the sidewalk. which is technically destruction of public property but the judge basically laughed at him and have him 10 hours of community service

this man once walked me home when i stayed late at the lab and talked to me animatedly about breeding brine shrimp for different lab purposes. absolutely captivated by this discussion. i trust him with my life

[larmalot]

huh

[shock]

in college there are only two moods:

1. i can do this! after outlining everything i need to do, it doesn’t seem so bad. in fact it’s very methodical and easy to follow and i can do it.

2. oh my god its happening. its the end for me. i might as well be dead. everything is due now. i was put on this earth to suffer. i have two essays due in 45 seconds and all ive eaten today is half a goldfish cracker. i can only feel pain

also these moods go back and forth every hour 

[shortycito-deactivated20211022]

Be teachable. You’re not always right.

[filialuna-deactivated20210518]

good morning to people with sweatshirts for universities they never attended, people with a collection of empty notebooks, people with niche academic interests no one else seems to care about, people who never outgrew their middle school mythology phase, people who can’t seem to make a dent in their TBR piles, and the guy who does edits on Wikipedia

Most corporate social media accounts use memes to try and appear hip with the kids so they’ll buy their product but the Sparknotes twitter account is clearly just run by a literature geek who was told they could make memes about old books and is having the time of their life doing just that

[another-exclus]

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

[lythelia-art-deactivated2021071]

But queer is more inclusive

[a-tired-humanist]

And faster to pronounce if you are talking instead of writing.

[another-exclus]

It’s not more inclusive, and if your excuse of using a slur as a blanket term is “it’s faster to say”, GENUINELY what is wrong with you

[a-tired-humanist]

It’s called economía del lenguaje.

[throesofincreasingwonder]

It’s also the respected academic term?? The acronym isn’t static and it’s usage is varied by things like generational difference, location, and knowledge of the community. Even just in the U.S. in the last few decades the common usage gone from GLBT to LGBT to LGBTQ, to LGBTQA/LGBTQIA/LGBTQIAP/etc (Which, let me tell you as someone who has given presentations in the past using these updated acronyms, are all real mouthfulls), to LGBT+.

Also yes, queer is more inclusive! Especially coming at it from an academic standpoint, people didn’t always use or identify with the terms we use now and you can’t always try to cram them into our modern perceptions of sexuality. We can argue for years about whether a famous historical figure was gay or bisexual or straight and trans or whatever, but if we can all agree that they were somehow queer then using that term allows us to move past the debate and into productive discussion. And not everybody everywhere shares the same terms for sexual and gender identity, or even the same concepts of those things, so queer really is a more inclusive term in a lot of cases.

Like yeah if you’re talking specifically about gay or trans people you can just say gay or transgender, but if you’re talking about more than one identity or someone who doesn’t conform to our perceptions of ‘LGBT,’ or a person or people whose identity you don’t know, queer is just the better word.

[jabberwockypie]

“That’s SO gay”, “Oh my god, you’re not a LESBIAN, are you?”

Your words are slurs, too. Why do you get your words, but I don’t get mine? What makes you so special?

I’m here, I’m queer, go fuck yourself.

[levynite]

queer is not a slur, stop drinking the TERF koolaid

[darthsuki]

[matronofthevoid]

every time one of you fools spout about ‘queer is a slur’ a terf laughs because their fucking plan to make that word ‘taboo’ is fucking working you dipshit.

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

I did not get my degree in queer literature for you all to keep pulling this bullshit.

[musicinyou]

The Queer Nation ( logo made my Alan MacDonald and Patrick Lilley) is 30 Yrs. Old. It is not something from the first days on non-straight pride - it is our current history. Don’t let someone tell you otherwise.

[pixll-sparks-deactivated2021111]

plus if you watch like any documentary on queer history, they’ll tell you that the queer community deliberately reclaimed and used slurs used against them as an act of pride and activism because they wanted people to know that they were still strong even in the face of a mass societal-political push-back against lgbtq+ that sought to degrade and dehumanise them 

-because yes we are queer what about it? 

[larkandkatydid]

Marie Kondo is full of anecdotes about the weird ass shit that she not only lets people keep but encourages them to elevate in their lives. She says one of her clients ended the process with a bedroom full of vintage pinball machines because what sparks joy in that particular woman was basically sleeping in the middle of an arcade.

Marie Kondo would never make you throw away your weird shit! She wants you to pare down to just your weird shit.

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

It pisses me off that for YEARS tidying up shows were full of white neurotypicals shaming neurodivergent people for having more than an arbitrary number of possessions and forcing them to go through a traumatic process of throwing away so much of their stuff to fit other people’s standards of “this is how you should live your life” and everyone thought those were fine!

But then in comes this sweet little Japanese lady who says the only rule is how can we make the client’s life happier and less stressful? How can we help them prioritize the things they enjoy being around? Marie Kondo came up with a process that accommodates and respects obsessions and special interests. And people treat her like the devil incarnate.

It’s fucked up.

[natus-ex-astris]

Okay fun story time:

I’m neurodivergent: ADHD, depression, autism, anxiety. And tidying/cleaning used to send me into panic attacks because the only way I knew how to do it was my mother’s way, which was very neurotypical “if you don’t use it throw it away and if it doesn’t serve an actual “purpose” it’s gone”. This resulted in shit that I loved getting tossed. I would BAWL if I had to tidy up, so my room was just. An unholy mess. Because if it was messy then mom couldn’t find shit to throw it away, and I didn’t have panic attacks over throwing away things I loved.

Fast forward to the birth of my kid. Guilt started to kick my ass, because I’m a bad parent I can’t keep things tidied up. Then, my partner (god I love them so much) told me about Marie Kondo and her method.

Y’all. I cleaned. I CLEANED cleaned. My room became organized for the first time in years because I realized it wasn’t about tossing everything, just the things that weren’t important to me/caused me stress. And that’s still how I clean literal years later.

Does my room still get messy? Yeah, I have fibro and brain fog and pain make it hard to clean. But when I DO clean, it’s much easier, I don’t cry anymore, and I’m surrounded by things that make me happy.

Fuck NT cleaning, Konmari is a life changer, keep what makes you happy and fuck anyone who says otherwise.

[imfemalewarrior]

She also has organization tips that are basically boiled down to “make everything as easy to access as possible, no stacking things, no tossing things haphazardly into drawers use smaller containers in bigger containers to partition things off (they can be random cardboard packaging etc), you should be able to see everything when you open a drawer or cabinet or what have you, put things where you need them and if that means your shoes are in the kitchen then the shoes belong in the kitchen, if that means granola bars are on the night stand then the granola bars are on the night stand (preferably in their package or in a basket or jar that also sparks joy)”

Coincidentally a lot of these are also tips for people with adhd “everything needs to be visible or it doesn’t exist” (i can relate) and other neurodivergent brains (is that the right way to say it???? Genuinely asking, or is it neurodivergents, or neurodivergent ppl or neurodivergencies?) Her whole method is about respecting and caring for what you own and what makes you happy, reframing your perspective towards things you actually need but stress you out (watch her interview with colbert or minhaj to see what I mean), and most importantly respecting and working with the client by giving them a guide and then gently encouraging them to complete her method with very little interference on her part

-FemaleWarrior

[naamahdarling]

I will fistfight anyone who comes for Marie right in their own home.

We just finished watching what is available on Netflix and it has already radically altered how I feel about tidying up.

I am bipolar with ADHD. The Konmari method is often GOOD for people like me! And it encourages thinking and acting without guilt! That is huge.

So yeah. Life-enhancing as fuck.

[hugtheteadrinkthekitten]

YES ALL OF THIS
