why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

The ides of March have come

adults: record numbers of teens are depressed, we must find out why

teens: school is more stressful than ever, our parents screwed over the economy, the earth is on a path to total environmental destruction, and now we have to deal with actual fuckin nazis

adults: it's the iphones isn't it

I just had a grown man tell me to “go make me a sandwich” as I was doing his pourover

I told him I didn’t understand what he meant because we’re a coffee shop, and he was like “oh it’s a joke” and I said I “didn’t get it” and he went “it’s funny because you’re a woman working in a kitchen”

And I just stared at him until he got how stupid he sounded

look: the right people will get it. the right people will see you and appreciate you for the person that you are. the right people won’t require you to dilute, censor, or edit yourself in order to be worthy of their time and affection. you don’t need to waste your time on people who are committed to misunderstanding you

In one episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine, they talk about how trans people have it difficult in prison. In the very next episode the sentence “Nothing is more attractive in a woman than the clear absence of a penis” is uttered.

It’s almost like B99 is a show made by liberals for liberals and its progressiveness is entirely performative.

ewfwfeweer

Just want to point out since the post kind of glosses over the fact that the last sentence is uttered ironically by a gay character who is trying to pass as straight to distract a guard at a women’s prison. The running joke is that he believes straight people are transphobic and homophobic, so when he tries to pretend to be one, he acts that way. The joke is, no one around him acts like what he’s saying is off, making further commentary on how transphobic and homophobic our society is.

I feel like this is a really important point to clarify.

Look, I understand that we HAVE to be careful when we enjoy our media. Because literally any show could make a misstep and fuck it up. They could try to make a girl character gay by saying she ‘loves pussy’. They could have a dude in a dress for comedic effect. I’m sure I could come up with other obvious things but I don’t want my brain to go down that path.

And yeah, for a moment or two that joke did make me a touch uncomfortable. But acellura has a point here, the reason Holt would ever say something like that is precisely because he’s attempting to pretend he’s a member of the lowest common denominator (which he’s simulatenously awesome and terrible at). And let’s not forget last season they had the AMAZING line about the transphobia in Ace Ventura.

B99 isn’t always completely perfect (it is, ironically, just shy of 100% perfect) but it’s also trying WAY harder than a lot of shows out there. Always be critical of the media out there, but also don’t shame people for enjoying it I guess? I dunno.

jumpingjacktrash

you know what’s entirely performative?

nitpicking ambiguous moments in an extremely progressive show instead of taking on genuinely regressive tropes that are still being played unironically on a whole bunch of other ones.

like, game of thrones added extra bonus rapes, and you want to talk about holt pretending to be transphobic? really?

For those who don’t know what’s happening in the video, she untied her shoelaces, pulled one through the inside of the zip tie binding her hands, then tied the shoelaces together. Then, by pulling downward and back and forth on the shoelaces with her feet, she created enough friction to wear away part of the ziptie, making it weak enough to snap right off her hands.
