When your art skills can’t keep up with your kiddo’s new interests

[flowersforthemachines]

one thing I wish people understood about tumblr posts is that they are not confession booths. if you see a post calling attention to the fact some behaviour patterns may actually be racist or misogynistic or transphobic or anything else you don't actually have to go into op's replies or tags to tell them You Personally have this patterns for detailed unproblematic reasons. I can't speak for the op of every post obviously but the point is likely to make people look at themselves critically and think about why they do the things they do. and if you're capable of introspection and understand that a post does not apply to you, the correct thing is to move on. you are just not its target audience

its all about the jaws and the paws

[rancidthing-deactivated20240711]

and just a little bit of style

[carolsturka]

I consider myself a real hater but sometimes you really do go too far with haterism. once I had to break mutuals with someone bc they hated the entire art form of poetry and the final straw was when they started hateposting about soup. The food

[hottestthingalive]

hi op. every time I see this post I hear it in her voice

[irate-iguana]

I love it when a classicist has clearly gotten so lost in the BCE sauce that their perception of time has become deeply warped. Case in point: the article I’m currently reading just described the Byzantine era as “a period relatively modern.”

[mockiatoh]

Stop that’s too funny

[anglerfl3sh]

I love post like "you all are against rich people until they're a fictional character" because it's completely true. I am against rich people until it's a fictional character. I don't think liking Scrooge McDuck makes someone a class traitor

avoidance is lowkey funny because it’s like i don’t want love on the off chance that it gets taken away from me and then i have to become john wick or something

[probuccalfat]

we’re all on the only social media that matters and this is why.

i hate that diet culture means all the tasty drinks everywhere are loaded with stevia now. this isn't even a stance about health, I just think it tastes so fucking bad

[genderqueer-rat]

stevia is cross-reactive with a common environmental allergen: ragweed! if you've been drinking your fun little drinky drinks & have been feeling off there's a chance you're actually allergic!

I can't have artificial sweeteners because they give me migraines. I can't have stevia because I have an anaphylactic reaction. this new wave of "make everything 0 sugar" coming back into fashion could literally kill me if I'm not careful. nothing is safe, nothing is sacred, if I'm getting a little treat, better check the ingredients in case they changed em! :)

[rabbitindisguise]

*head in hands* it's like ragweed??? Ragweed?? Oh my god everything makes so much sense

Ty for sharing that I had no idea

[hyperlexichypatia]

AU: Patriarchal husbands enact a massive censorship and surveillance state apparatus to keep their wives from escaping or being corrupted. Everyone's movements must be monitored and tracked in case a wife tries to escape her husband. Media is censored of all potential eroticism, just in case women get too hormonal and horny, and potentially cheat on their husbands. Media is required to have explicitly pro-obedience themes, so women don't get any subversive ideas about rebelling against their husbands' authority. These policies are framed as "protecting women."

Many unmarried men object to this. Why should they be censored or surveilled for the sake of another man's wife? "Fuck them women!" is their rallying cry. "It's husbands' job to control their wives, not mine! Women are disgusting, anyway. Why should I give up my freedom for the sake of your gross, hysterical, hormonal, shrill, menstruating wife? I didn't choose to be saddled with that smelly, whiny bitch."

From a far corner, a lone voice expresses a fringe, extremist opinion: "I think you're both wrong, actually. What if women are just people? What if they actually should be able to read whatever they want, and even disobey or leave their husbands if they choose to, because they're people, not property? And if your only objection to women's oppression is that it affects you, or that they're 'disgusting' and you shouldn't have to be reminded of their existence, you're also part of the problem. Both of your factions should just stop being misogynistic."

The pro- and anti- surveillance factions turn to the fringe extremist and say, in unison, "Why do you want access to other men's wives? To rape them? You pervert!"

[hyperlexichypatia]

Yes. I'm using women as a metaphor for children, husbands as a metaphor for parents, and unmarried men as a metaphor for childfree adults.
