I also want to make it abundantly clear this is why people say âfuck copsâ and why âBlue Lives Matterâ is bullshit. It may only be a âhandfulâ of corrupt cops (which is also bullshit) but itâs the entire institution behind them that enables them and refuses to take any form of accountability. Every single cop is complicit. Every single one.
Walking around museums by yourself is just too much power for one person
You wanna wander aimlessly for seven hours?
Do it
You wanna stand and stare at one obscure painting for a ridiculously long time?
Do it
You wanna sit on a bench and sketch your favorite statue?
Do it
Iâm not gonna give that asshole the time of day but like Wolverine being super hairy and beast-like is a really big part of his character and his mutation. If you wanna portray Laura as completely hairless excepting where girls are âsupposedâ to have hair, I canât stop you. But realistically a clone of Wolverine, female or not, would also be hairy because of genetics. Die mad about it.
Itâs funny out of context but I am so fucking sad over this
He canât feel the blanket heâs holding or the cold and heâs too big for his bed and he canât fall asleep but heâs trying to do all those things anyway because heâs 10 years old and heâs just had his entire life and childhood ripped away from him in every way possible and all he can do is hold onto the tiniest pieces of normalcy because that is literally all he has left
Men think itâs ruder for a woman to say âdonât interrupt meâ than it is for them to interrupt her in the first place
id probably call that ruder. Jus cause I interrupt someone donât mean I was mentally thinking bout cutting this annoying ass bitch off. it just so happened my g.
I know you would call that ruder. Thatâs what the post was about.
Me: men think this
A man: no, actually I think exactly what you said men think
Me: right.
who keeps giving her these things
she ends up condemned too D:
damn bitch get it together
Sheâs a Darklord now too
Miles Morales was instantly relatable in the first 30 seconds of his appearance in Into the Spider-verse when he only sung along to like 28% of the lyrics to Sunflower and just mumbled random syllables to the rest.
Professor x: Wow it really has been peaceful around here lately :â) Maybe my plans are finally work-

nerds are like âugh mr mime is so creepy in the detective pikachu trailerâ like they expected a cute mr mime??? mr mime. mr mime???? live action mr mime being a terrifying imp is the most accurate pokemon in the trailer why are yâall shocked.
call me ignorant but i genuinely donât understand why sports have to be split up by gender.
@ everyone in the notes talking about physical performance: if that were the case, then sports would be divided by physical performance. thatâs a thing you can measure. thatâs a thing that varies by individual. a weak man and a strong man would be an unfair fight in boxing/wrestling/MMA, which is why they divide those sports up into weight groups based on physical performance. but they also further segregate them based on gender. chess is segregated by gender for no reason but sexism. if itâs actually about skill and physical ability, then measure those and separate people by those metrics. donât do some bullshit gender segregation and pretend like men and women are inherently on different levels no matter their individual abilities.
Remember that time a teenage girl struck out Babe Ruth? Thatâs fucking why. Men are afraid of being beaten by women.
Remember that time male swimmers were pulled out of training because Kate Ledecky was leaving them âbrokenâ by swimming better than them? Remember how she didnât even notice, because she was busy actually training?
Shooting is a sport that has no reliance on strength and so any allowance for gender variation is irrelevant. The last time there was a mixed competition (1992) a chinese woman named Zhang Shan won it.
Itâs often presented as for the benefit of women. After all, theyâll be heartbroken when theyâre hurt or bested by men.
Projection is a hell of a drug.Â
this is why they drug test Serena like crazy. the believe no woman should be that good. let alone a black woman. and black women have always been considered âmanlyâ and less feminine.
also can we talk about how surfing is segregated as well? like how the dude who won this years international surfing cup or whatever was given $30,000 worth of prize money, while the woman who won the womenâs comp was only awarded like $16,000 of prize money???? or whatever it was. but I know it was either half or less than half of what the man won. like why canât they get the same prize money and when theyâre competing internationally in the same competition? they surely have the same level of skill and talent.
the pay gap in sports between men and women is fucking insane.
The pay gaps, not to mention lack of sponsorships for women athletes who donât look like models is insane. If you weigh over 250 pounds, no one will sponsor you. Itâs why most female Olympic-class weightlifters live in poverty/out of their cars.
I learned about the murder of Kitty Genovese in two separate psychology classes, at two separate universities. It was studied as an example of the âbystander effectâ, which is a phenomenon that occurs when witnesses do not offer help to a victim when there are other people present.
I was told by my professors that Kitty Genovese was a 28-year-old unmarried woman who was attacked, raped, and brutally murdered on her way home from her shift as manager of a bar. I was told that numerous people witnessed the attack and her cries for help but didnât do anything because they âassumed someone else wouldâ. Nobody intervened until it was too late.Â
What I was not told was that Kitty Genovese was a lesbian who lived more or less openly with her partner in the Upper West Side and managed a gay bar.Â
Now⊠is it likely that people overheard Kittyâs cries for help and ignored them because they thought someone else would deal with it? Or, perhaps, did they ignore her because they knew she was a lesbian and just didnât care?
Maybe thatâs not the case. Maybe it was just a random attack. Maybe her neighbours didnât know she was gay, or didnât care.
But itâs a huge chunk of information to leave out about her in a supposedly scientific study of events, since her sexuality made her much more vulnerable to violent crimes than the average person. And itâs a dishonour to her memory.
RIP Kitty Genovese. Society may only remember you for how you died, but I will remember you for who who were.
this was one of the first lessons I had in psych too and we were never told about this either nor was it in any of the reading materials
I never knew this.
I also never knew this about Kitty Genovese, but I do know that, in fact, many of the dozen (not thirty-eight) people who witnessed some part of the attack (which took place after 3AM, on a chilly night in March when most peopleâs windows were closed) tried to help in some way.
One shouted out his window for the attacker to leave her alone, which did successfully scare the man off temporarily.
Another called the police but, seeing her still on her feet, said only that there had been a fight but the woman seemed to be okay.
And when Kitty Genovese was finally attacked in a vestibule where she couldnât be seen from outside, Karl Ross, a neighbor, saw what was happening but was too frightened himself to go to her rescueâso he started calling other neighbors to ask what he should do. Eventually one of them told him to call the police, which he did, and the woman he called, Sophie Farrar, rushed out to help Kitty even though she didnât know whether the attacker was gone.
Kitty Genovese died in the arms of a neighbor who tired to help and comfort her while they waited for the police and ambulance to arrive. Kitty was in fact still alive, although mortally wounded, when the ambulance reached the scene.
The man who saw the final stabbing? Who panicked and called other neighbors first instead of the police? The man who said, infamously, that he âdidnât want to get involvedâ because he was reluctant to turn to the police for help? He was thought to be gay himself. He was a friend of Kitty and Mary Annâs. After being interviewed by the police he took a bottle of vodka to Mary Ann and sat with her, trying to comfort her.
So, no. I donât think the evidence indicates that Kitty Genoveseâs neighbors let her die because she was a lesbian, because Kitty Genoveseâs neighbors tried to help.

(Also, going by the content of the murdererâs confession, it was indeed a random attack.)
how on EARTH was this âscientificallyâ studied but the details gotten so wrong and the wrong as hell conclusion published and taught in schools?!?!?! where were those scientists observation skills?! on vacation?!
How to take facts and turn them into an urban legend that gets taught in schools: Make a bad made-for-t.v.-movie about it, watch it, believe everything the movie says, annnnnnnd go! Thatâs how it gets taught as this supposed âscientific study.â Someone got fucking lazy.
Spread the real deal, kids.
