This is honestly what i look like in my minds eye
i hope this doesnāt sound really weird but i feel really bad for the lady who came up with gender reveal parties. she had a very legitimate reason for throwing herself oneāsheād had a few miscarriages, all of them miscarrying before she was able to find out the sex of her baby and due to really wanting to have children she was distraught, so when her pregnancy made it to the milestone of being able to find out her babyās sex, she was understandably incredibly excited and threw a party to celebrate it. honestly she had every right to do so and was more celebrating the fact that sheād carried her baby to that point rather than celebrating if it was a girl or a boy
and now sheās the inventor of this horrible thing that makes stupid people cause wildfires. all this lady wanted to do was have some cake and celebrate her pregnancy after a few miscarriages. i feel fucking terrible for her.Ā
sheās slamming elaborate gender reveal parties with over the top shit like pyrotechnics on facebook which is good bc she obviously doesnāt support the crazy shit these parties have become but i kinda hate that she has to because this very calm party she threw for herself years ago to celebrate passing the points sheād miscarried before has obviously become tainted and a bad memory for her and now sheās labelled as the lady whoĀ āstartedā these parties even though hers was literally like. a cake that you cut into and the color tells you what the baby is.Ā
I saw an article saying that she has learned more about gender and her kid came out as nonbinary and she feels bad about how the whole thing hurts the trans communities and her official stance isĀ āThere are plenty of other reasons to eat cakeā and that we should pick a different one Tbh she seems like a really nice person who is just sort of in the crosshairs of a really big thing she didnāt expect

some things that horror movie culture has taught you are scaryā¦. are just ableist
ā¦.clarify?
okay sure. psychosis? scarier to have than to know someone who has it. DID? im more a threat to myself than people around me. wheelchairs and psych meds? are tools that help people live more functional and flexible lives and are not judgments of the persons character and for sure are not scary things. and for real, intellectually disabled people are not threats, but movies love to make them villains because they act different and understand the world differently. and people with notable physical differences? people whoās bodies look different? people with scars, growths, amputations, etc? are literally just people. and seeing themselves painted like monsters on the big screen is absolutely sickening and damaging to how society will see them.
its not only bad writing but its extremely harmful to people who actually live with conditions that are misrepresented in media. when i found out i had DID, my mom freaked out because her only point of reference was Sybil. when i was younger and first went on psych meds, i thought it meant i was set on a track to be a bad person, because in so many movies and video games you find out the bad guy has medication in his bed side table for some sort of psych disorder. the worst thing a hallucination has ever made me do was wake my mom up at 3 AM to check my bathroom to see if the bugs i saw everywhere were real and the worst thing anĀ āepisodeā of any sort has made me do is hurt myself. my ptsd doesnt make me kill people, my alters dont kidnap people, my autism doesnt make me so morally unaware that ill murder for senselessly, my ocd doesnt make me hurt people etc etc etc
literally the onlyĀ āhorrorā is the ableism. and the only way you can write good horror about disability and mental illness is if the focus is on how society and the medical field treat us rather than focusing on how we are apparently so scary, threatening, and bad.
Horror is and has historically been an incredibly ableist genre, and it is still largely unrecognized as such. This has genuine severe and real-life consequences for disabled and neurodivergent people in real life. Please keep this in mind if you are abled and/or neurotypical.
this is an england hate blog
HOW IS THIS EVEN REAL? WHAT DID MY COUNTRY EVER DO TO ANYONE?!
oh sorry sweetie, i didnāt realise you still lived in the 1800sā¦šš
Iāve been thinking about this for days. The 1800s??? The 1800s????
The 1800s ???????????????!
Capitalism is a constant race to the lowest bidder - and as such there should be no surprise that ecological initiatives under capitalism will be poorly designed.Ā
To use a metaphor, the fact that phones are currently designed to be disposable things which break after a year does not mean it is impossible to create a phone which is durable and long-lasting. Only that the cheapest production with the highest markup determines the highest rate of profit - the only metric through which capitalism determines success or failure.Ā
The same applies to all other aspects of pollution. We wrap food in plastic so it will have the highest shelf life, and the greatest tolerance to long-distance transit. We prioritize personal vehicles over mass transit because the latter generates less profit for manufacturers. We terraform the land to create suburbs filled with mcmansions as a means to rapidly generateĀ āLand Valueā with large houses built from the cheapest materials.Ā
Absolutely none of these things are mandatory. We already have the technology to fill all of these functions - they simply are not used because other methods are more profitable. We have alternatives all around us which remain unused because they go against the core principal of capitalism - the maximization of short term profits.Ā
Green energy systems are the same way. The greatest margin of profit in green energy will not come from efficient systems fueling entire cities, rather they will be found in cheap inefficient systems which can be sold to consumers as a signifier of their ecological responsibility. This is the very foundation of why solar panels have become so popular over the last five years, and why tidal, hydro, geothermal, microwave, biomass, hydrogen, and other systems remain pitifully underfunded and obscure.Ā
Why do white people love alien invasion and take over movies
Cuz they love studying their world history
history book from 2270
These beliefs may seem strange now, but it is important to view this era of history through the lens of culture. Though American peoples did have primitive medical technologies and a scientific understanding of disease and nature, they were also a society governed by deep religious superstition. Most Americans believed that the unseen spiritual forces in the world around them controlled things like plagues and natural disasters, and believed that the god they worshipped would protect them from illness. Many Americans sought protection from sickness from healers called āKarens,ā who claimed to heal disease by anointing sufferers with the oils of various plants.
Many American rulers refused to take action about the plague, seeing its acknowledgement as a threat to their political and religious sovereignty. American rulers were expected to balance religious and spiritual duties, and to defend the sovereignty of religious law in government. In the American system, leaders were expected to ritually defend their position from a powerful rival; if the sitting ruler was determined by the people not to have the favor of the American god, they could be declared too weak and dethroned. Communications from the era show that rivals for a position would challenge one another to complete feats of physical strength, such as push-up contests, and demonstrate their cunning and mental fortitude by passing rigorous examinations. Relying on the scientific knowledge of the time to fight the plague would have been seen as a symptom of weakness and of the American godās displeasure. Many Americans showed their spiritual strength and power by holding large religious gatherings and festivals as the plague continued.
Japanās complete lack of understanding of declining birth rates in relation to its work culture reminds me a lot of how America has an assumption that millennials are killing industries when the truth is they are more frugal because of a lack of funds.
Both come from a conservative mindset that neglects the impact that a toxic work culture can have on society.
A 80+ hour work week in order to maintain financial stability isnāt exactly a solid ground to date people and eventually build a family from a healthy relationship.
A workforce comprised of 20 somethings that make between 20-40k a year in entry positions isnāt a good ground to build a reliable consumer base when a huge chunk of that is going to rent, utilities, car payments, and student loans.
This is a fascinating connection, you should write a paper on this
I am convinced that, in general, people wantĀ to have families. Many, if not most, would be happy to raise children. But in order to have children and raise them, especially to do so well, people need happy, stable relationships, financial security and time to devote to - you know - actually raising the child. You need both money and time to do that. If people are not given the time and means to be able to create social connections and strong relationships, to devote to parenthood and family, then they are not going to do it. How can they?
fuck it. today i will wear my white button down iām tired of wanting more i think iām finally worn for you have a way of promising things and iāve been a forest fire oh i am aforest fire and i am the fire and i am the forest and i am a witness watching it i stand in a valley watching it and you are not there at all
Zuko was disowned by his father, taken in and cared for by the uncle his father was ashamed of, found his true family in people heād been taught to hate his entire life, and chose the happiness of his own path over every expectation that was had of him by his father, sister, and nation. Seeing as much, its not a tough jump to make to say that Zuko is a gay coded character, whos story is an allegory for a child being disowned for his sexuality and spending years retreating back into the closet before finally coming back out. In this essay i willĀ
This is true.
whatever howl movingcastleās gender is, i want some of that
Autistic + ADHD gang about foods they hate and foods they love
Can I just say FUCK beans
HONESTLY tho i think girlboss narratives and people pointing to ceos and wealthy people of color and gay people and successful trans people is so sinister bc it tries to convince marginalized people to buy into the established hierarchy and convince them they can find their way to the top or at least above where they are if thye just buy in and fight for it when itās like. that galaxy brain woman from survivor erica cook voice im not interested in competing with anyone i hope we all make it
i literally canāt stop thinking abt that richard siken quote where he falls to the floor crying but all he can focus on is the details of the wall in front of him
āEventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: youāre falling to the floor crying thinking, āI am falling to the floor crying,ā but thereās an element of the ridiculous to it ā you knew it would happen and, even worse, while youāre on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realise you didnāt paint it very well.ā
