Is this the equivalent of americans wearing poorly-translated Chinese/Japanese t-shirts around the early 2000’s? And can i please have every single shirt up there?

[over-the-linne]

WHO THE FUCK IS JESUS

[copperbadge]

My undergrad alma mater had an exchange program where we had an entire class of Japanese university students spend a year at our school studying in English immersion each year. Which was awesome, they were really cool and they loved to socialize with the American kids. 

One of my best friends had one of the exchange students as her roommate; she was about four foot eleven and maybe ninety pounds, and she had a passion for huge platform boots and shirts with English slogans on them. She explained exactly that – it was cool to wear shirts with English lettering on them, even if you didn’t exactly know what it meant (this was in the late 90s/early 00s).

Her absolute favorite shirt was black with BITCH picked out in enormous rhinestones. She’d worn it three times before I asked her if she knew what it meant, and she said she’d been told it meant “Like a baby dog, the cutest dog? A really cute girl puppy.” 

So I explained to her that it wasn’t quite an accurate translation, and as I elaborated on what it meant, from “female dog” on up to “a name you call a woman you don’t like” and all the reasons you might call someone that, her eyes got wider and wider until finally she yelled “THAT’S BETTER, THAT’S THE BEST! BITCH IS EVEN BETTER THAN CUTE!”

I loved her to bits, she was amazing.

No one’s saying this so I guess I’ve gotta: no more shirtless scenes for men if the actors gotta starve himself. Its just as bad as woman being forced to lose weight for a needless sex scene/photoshoot what have you. If it endangers the health of the individual it should not be encouraged.

[striving-artist]

If they can cg a whole-ass Carrie Fisher, they can cg some ab definition.

Fck steroids. Fck filming fasts. Fck dropping water weight to get the shot.

[halloweeneva]

Fuck steroids. Fuck filming fasts. Fuck dropping water weight to get the shot.

[rlainarin]

Nope. No cgi abs either. You will look at real healthy shirtless bodies of nourished, hydrated people, and you will like it.

Shoutout to Dick Van Dyke for being a cis dude whose parents gave him a drag king name for some reason

[tamedbyafox]

His parents gave him a lovely, respectable, presentable cis-man name like Richard.

He decided to be Dick Van Dyke.

[marcy-the-martian]

Please, Richard Vancouver Dicycle is my father. Call me Dick Van Dyke

i cant believe we get to exist in the same realm

[petalloso]

remember when andrew “i hate you” minyard called neil a pipe dream, like he couldn’t believe someone like neil existed off his meds, like he truly thought he’d just made him up because he was too good to ever be true 

[weicheidarling-deactivated20240]

Okay but Andrew is definitely the type of boyfriend to point at something completely ridiculous, like a stuffed animal abandoned on a dumpster or graffiti of a dick and just tap Neil or one of the monsters on the shoulder and go, “Look, it you.” And naturally Kevin gets really offended and Nicky is Hurt™, but Neil always cracks a smile and finds something else equally shitty and points to it going, “That’s you.” And their references get increasingly elaborate and obscure. Sometimes Neil is in class and Andrew is off doing Whatever and he’ll get snapchat of a fucking toppled garbage can or a tire that’s been completely shreaded with the caption “this u” and he can just barely hold it together in class (okay but Neil with a case of the giggles, this boy deserves it alright). And maybe he’ll find the most horrendous neckbearded, unhygienic person in class and sneak a picture of it to send back. And they keep this up forever and every time Neil comes up with a really good one, Andrew’s percentage increases a little and he almost, aaaalmost smiles because his boyfriend appreciates his meanspirited jokes, and honestly, who could want anything more in a partner?

I would like to wish everyone an uneventful new year

HAPPY NEW 2021 YEAR, TUMBLR!

[schmergo]

To all the parents out there who bundle their babies up in the winter time with those little hats with the little ears that make them look like little teddy bears: You are doing the lord’s work. Seeing tiny ewoks toddle across the grocery store parking lot is just what we all need sometimes. My joy is immeasurable and my day is restored.

[jenndoesnotcare]

I just left my husband alone with our two children for sixteen days. I was not worried about anything regarding the house, their food, or their wellbeing. I put all the appointments in the family calendar and my husband checked it and kept them. I literally did not worry about them. I missed them, and I was sad that they missed me, but I didn’t worry about them AT ALL. I need to impress upon you all that I missed their company, but was not worried for their welfare.

I also did no meal prep. I don’t even think I went shopping right before I left.

This is not about apples and oranges. This isn’t even about my husband. This is about the fact that this is apparently WEIRD.

Another mum at my daughter’s school is leaving for ten days. She’s taking her youngest (who is a very small baby) and leaving her husband with their two girls. She has been cooking for days preparing freezer meals. She’s panicking and deputizing her six year old to remind him how to make school lunches. AND I AM APPALLED.

A) He is definitely not helpless. (He’s a doctor or something.) What gendered bullshit. B) THAT LITTLE GIRL IS NOT OLD ENOUGH TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER AND HER SISTER’S WELLBEING. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. C) Why is she married to this person and creating children with him if he’s this big of an idiot?

While she was laughingly recounting this, the other mums were nodding and smiling sympathetically, like oh yes, I too have my caveman at home!! Such managing required! I was the only one who was like “Dude, he’ll be fine. Literally. He will be fine.” I said it a lot. She was not convinced. She kept bringing up her older daughter. She’ll be like a little mum!

NO.

NO NO NO NO.

NO.

Straight women, don’t do this shit. It’s gross. Don’t infantilize your husbands and then expect your daughters to pick up the slack. So fucking gross. So. So. GROSS.

[fozmeadows]

The fact that so many adults think a six year old girl is more capable of learning and performing basic domestic tasks than a grown-ass man says it all, really. 

[parentheticalaside]

This stuff is so toxic and awful. I told a car full of women one time that I refused to be in another relationship until I met a man who was capable of making his own doctors’ appointments and washing the dishes. They told me I was going to die alone.

Fuck this shit. Don’t enable men’s incompetence and label it cute.
