the thing is that for all its supposed faults, i would take this brand of 90s utopian globalism over whatever the fuck we’ve been doing for the last 10 years in a heartbeat

I'm gonna be honest for a second. I cant believe people still care about Taylor swift.

This CANNOT be left in the tags you came with RECEIPTS

This appears to be the president’s "proof" that vandals are sabotaging the Reflecting Pool.

To me, it was not about recognizing a "lack" of something in myself. Because I do crave emotional intimacy, a lot! And I thought that "romance" as defined by society was the only way to get it.

But the older I get, the more my eyes have opened to the possibilities of other types of love. Love that transcends labels, boundaries. Softer, quieter, safer.

So, now I say I am aromantic. But to me the aromantic label feels less like an orientation and more of a rebuttal. It's a refusal to exist in the parameters that society has set for me, and a radical acceptance that those parameters were doing me more harm than good. I want to take those expectations and throw them in the garbage, and just live and love freely.

As far as I am concerned, "romantic attraction" was always just a desire to participate in a type of relationship that has predetermined rules and expectations as a shortcut to getting emotional intimacy. And now that I've recognized that, I don't experience "romantic attraction" anymore.

(no beers in) So how do you perceive me in the privacy of your thoughts

This was already fucking impressive but then he started making electric guitar noises and I recreated this image in my bedroom

“marriage is a legal document that protects you, you’ve gotta decouple it in your brain from romance and amatonormativity” the fact that marriage is a legal document that protects and privileges you (that, might I add, generally isn’t valid without romance+sex) is LITERALLY amatonormativity. A legal status that privileges people in monogamous long-term romantic-sexual relationships IS AMATONORMATIVITY. That is *what it was coined to talk about.*

Why does staff still allow people funnier than you to leave tags on your posts. They should have fixed that by now

The “encrapification” of the American pint — a chemist’s plain-language dissection

Really good article by a chemist on why most ice cream sucks now— it’s because it’s not really ice cream.

part of me wants to be like "do people really not know this" and part of me knows full well i only read the labels because i have gut problems and don't want to suffer

anyway i've had my eye on the fat content for years. actual ice cream made with real cream won't trigger my lactose intolerance, because the higher the fat content of dairy, the lower the lactose content. my personal tipping point is around half-and-half so if you make "ice cream" with with skim milk, the enshittification i experience is unfortunately literal

#I bought like a popcicle from a truck the other day and i was like 'how are you calling this shit gormet?' It was $6 and bad

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

queeranarchism

During the time that I did NGO work, one of the most jarring things was going to conferences and watching the rooms get whiter and whiter the more the conference focused on managers, CEO's, politicians and others in leadership positions. Color disappears further up the hierarchy and while we all kinda know that it's weird to see it happen in front of your eyes.

And always there would be:

1 noticable uncomfortable POC who is either there as an intern/assistant to a white person or as the 'diversity manager'.

10 white ladies loudly complaining that there's only 30% women here while leaving the 99.9% whiteness completely unmentioned.
