i think if you download pregnancy it blocks it for a few months but then you get a really annoying loud pop up that doesn’t go away for 18 years

We need to talk about Netflix orignial, Story Bots, people! I have always HATED modern "educational" kids' programming for being too preachy. But this show? This show is gold.

I need to rant for a second: this "phenomenon" is soooo terribly sad and so deeply flawed that it makes my stomach hurt. But what hurts me worse still is the inverse effect: when these ideas are so entrenched in our collective psyche that even minorities unwittingly support them... I'm very, very white - like winter moon white - but I lived in Southern Mexico for a number of years. While there, everyone, whether I knew them personally or not, would call me "güerita" (essentially "white girl") as a compliment/term of endearment...until I questioned what would happen if I'd returned the favor by calling them "prietit@" (brown person) in the same tone and with the same intent (that it be assumed a compliment). The answer was so sad that I later cried for this idea of white superiority and internalized racism that has become normalized even in countries where the vast majority are darker skinned. He said, [rough translation] "That's not cool because everyone knows that white is a good thing and not everyone is proud of being dark. So you could be insulting them and they'd think you're racist". Which left me wondering...what on earth happened to make all these fascinating, complex, layered, gorgeous humans automatically assume I was somehow better than they because of the melanin levels of my skin? And what can I do to make that stop?

A schematic synthesis of physics branches by Dominic Walliman, from his video “The Map of Physics”:

Of course Physics become much more tangled when you move to the right side of the map.

Everyone comes with baggage. Find someone who loves you enough to help you unpack.

I LOVE sansa! Her poise even in her fear and contempt are enviable. I mean, who but a strong woman would take the shit she's taken from the corporeal representation of a migraine during a rave and still staunchly claim to love him because she's deeply aware that rebellion isn't a viable option at the moment. There are few things more impressive than a woman strong enough to retain her femininity while simultaneously kicking ass.

              sophie turner ‘ people don’t like sansa because she is feminine. it annoys me that people only like the feminine characters when they act like male characters. and they always go on about feminism. like, you’re rooting for the people who look like boys, who act like boys, who fight like boys. root for the girls who wear dresses and are intellectually very strong ‘

I just spit my coffee all over and embarrassed myself...

When you invite me over for sex and there are other people in the house.

Can we please stop acting like mixed people are watered down versions of their ethncities

Wow.

masculinity is a prison, time doesn’t exist, gender isn’t real, virginity is a construct, and Jesus wasn’t white.
