calling birth control pills “birth control pills” is clear and all, but it’s a huge missed opportunity.

they should be called anti-dependents.

Imagine one day while Keith and Lance are sparring Lance notices that he’s beginning to lose, and like hell he was gonna lose to Keith Kogane again

so without thinking or even considering the aftermath when his and keiths swords clashed and they began pushing against eachother he decided to use his special tactic…

He looked directly into Keiths eyes and smirked

“Hey gorgeous~ come here often?”

And Keiths face went RED but before Lance could dwell on it for long Keith fumbled with his sword, for a second Lance felt victorious

That is Until he realized the amount of force he was putting on Keith was a little much and actually made him fall forward

Suddenly the two of them are on the ground, Keith letting out a grunt as a Lance sized weight landed directly on his chest and Lance instantly lifted himself

Panic immediately began to fill his chest as he watched Keith begin to recover

“Quiznack-! Sorry Keith I didn’t-“

“WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?”

Keiths yell definitely took Lance off guard but Lance didn’t miss how his words had basically Zero bite to them, if Lance was hearing right, he might say Keith actually sounded flustered, and THAT definitely entertained Lance to no end to the point his smug grin instantly returned to his face, and instead of answering normally he decided to have a little fun

“Just a small distraction,” lance started nonchalantly, “I wasn’t expecting you to fall for me like this though, does this mean I win?”

Keiths eyes widened for a moment as his blush reached his ears but his shocked expression instantly turned into one of embarrassment then anger as he tried his best to hide how he was currently feeling

“S-SHUT UP LANCE! AND GET OFF ME!”

Lance let out a lighthearted laugh and grinned victoriously

“Whatever you say mullet.”

I really want to throw a gender-reveal party for my eventual child with pink, blue, and (one of the enby colors) fortune cookies, and when everyone opens them, they have messages like:

“Gender is a social construct!”

“Our child is genderless until proven otherwise!”

“You should only care about what’s in our baby’s diaper if you’re going to change it!”

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

[feels-for-the-fictional]

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

[marzipanandminutiae]

They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?

[ineptshieldmaid]

My friend you’re not wrong About Homer’s wine-ey sea! Colours are a matter Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long

Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.

The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue

.

[squeeful]

While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.

oh zuzu you poor, clueless thing

[antifainternational]

Kinda weird how you say you’re against fascism yet you shut down anyone just because they share a different opinion than you. You guys are exactly what you say you hate... FASCIST! How come I have never seen any member of antifa actually sit down with someone and have a civil debate? I’ve only ever seen them yell and throw tantrums. Doesn’t look good for you guys, yikes.

[pleasedotheneedful]

fascism in italy was not defeated by discourse.

[rosslynpaladin]

Something I heard recently: if you insist on sheltering both lambs and wolves, you will get in the end only wolves. If you insist your safe space is safe for bigots as well as minorities you will have a space full of bigots- minorities will be driven out.

[oldearthaccretionist]

How is it that article from a while back phrased it: “Tolerance is not a moral precept it’s a peace treaty”

It’s not a paradox. Tolerance is an agreement and an exchange and if you break it you don’t get to be protected by it and you will suffer the consequences of breaking it. Period.

Tolerance cannot extend to intolerance and bigotry because they are antithetical to the entire framework of the exchange and exist to destroy the people and things that tolerance/acceptance is meant to build and protect.

So no. It is not hypocritical to be intolerant of your bigotry. I am simply enforcing the boundaries and consequences of breaking the social contract of treating people with compassion and humanity, if you broke the treaty, you don’t get to be protected by it, and enforcing consequences for breaking it is the only way to ensure that it continues to protect those it’s meant to and who contribute to it in good faith.

Pup interrupts soccer match, gives interview.

[the-stray-liger]

The commentator narrating the pup’s moves with the ball is AMAZING and I’m crying

[loseinadaydream]

“(…) right, but he decides to kick the ball. He gets close, and who grabs it? The Friend(dog)! Yes! A pup got into the field. He’s tied to it. He puts it under his paws and shows what football was missing in the Gasometro (field’s name). The [team]’s men want to grab him, but they cant! The Friend has his eyes on the ball. He runs to find it again. Yes! He bites! He kneads! He wants it close! He gets lost, he’s so happy! Castro (player) wants to kick his Corner but he can’t. He tells the pup “enough, enough, go over there”… however *commentator laughs*, there’s the pup! When he puts it on the floor, [the dog] goes again for the ball. And of course, as any skilled man, wants it all for himself. A bit of an over-eater, this pup. And he clearly has shown conditions / talent. [The team] found the way to the goal thanks to the Pichicho’s (little dog) essential input…. who, of course, as any protagonist had his place at [the tv show].“

*camera switches to interview where dog barks and mounches on the reporter’s mic (who allows him do it)*

I’ve been watching Argentinean football all my life and I can confirm this is the best to ever happen on a match.

This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.

[riskpig]

WHAT?

[endangeredslug-deactivated20170]

The thing about this? It’s in every pregnancy book I’ve read.

[riskpig]

WHAT?????

[thegrimmlovely]

Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?

[willowofthehearth]

Because the men in charge only care about the health and safety of women in so far as it enables them to have babies.
