Should go without saying but never date a cop and christ never marry one. Rule of thumb if he's legally untouchable he's ethically unfuckable. You don't like that cop, you like buff men in tight clothing. I can show you more of those, better ones. Take my hand.

I cannot stop thinking about that Atlantic article. It's truly incredible the way Trump's cabinet is like a nesting doll of imbeciles... each one stupider and greedier than the last

“This user supports genocide and thinks all Palestinians deserve to die.”

Do I? Do I really? Or did your hateful, evil little brain entirely imagine that because I consistently refuse to dehumanise and demonise every single Israeli/Israel adjacent person or to excuse the atrocities committed against them or to treat an extremely well funded and well armed militia who rapes, tortures and murders even their own people like poor wittle oppressed babies who can’t possibly be expected to know any better and you’re just too fucking stupid and radicalised to understand the difference?

Is it me, or do young autistics not know how to find each other online? I see on Facebook a lot of them leaning into that "dark autistic supremacy" behavior by lamenting how they can never find autistics who share their very negative views, where autism is very disabling but they don't know how to break their bubble and they come across as projecting onto autistics who don't "suffer" the way they do.

There's this one guy I keep encountering, I think he's in his late 30s, who calls his autism a terrible power that has prevented him from getting into relationships. But he clearly doesn't want to really try to reach out, so I just ignore him. Since 2013, I have seen this kind of person, angry and blaming the community for not specifically taking about our worst moments so he doesn't feel alone.

i do think there should be more stories and shows and stuff about guys falling in love with butch women actually, i think that’d be a good thing. and not ‘this is as butch as twitter can handle’, i mean butch as can fucking be without apology, and making those boys weak in the knees about it. i think it’s great actually to have f/m romances that exist to break gender norms, too. i think it sucks that the only mainstream het romances that exist are either about women who are already feminine or with women who are just a little too scarily masculine and have to be fixed into being girlier. that’s shit.

I know I'm prolly preaching to the choir here on this website of all websites, but y'know I always find it Very Concerning how often vague terms with exceedingly grim legal and sociological implications like "criminality" or "deviance" or the cunningly meaningless "disregard for social norms" show up in lists of symptoms and diagnostic criteria for highly stigmatized mental disorders. That one always bugs the hell out of me and I really feel like reasonable people, medical professionals and all, should've just known that was a dumbfuck way to phrase things without needing to be told.

I'm gonna start armchair-diagnosing sane ppl with Compliant Servility Disorder. See how they like it.

Thank you Derek, menswear guide, for reminding me why paying more to be free advertising for brands is dumb.

People on the internet will be like 'Our generation isn't sensitive, we call each other whores all the time, we just hate racism! We're thick-skinned, but not bigots' and then you check their bio and are slapped in the face with antisemitism.

Someone in a thread asked, as a “gotcha”, if I as a convert would become a native after my conversion.

I don’t think this person expected me to say yes.

When I convert, I will join the People. I will become ethnically Jewish in every way. I will be as Jewish as Moses or David or Ruth. As neither of my biological parents are Jewish, I will be the child of Abraham and Sarah. I will be Jewish.

And yes, this means that I will have the right to become a citizen of Israel, if that’s what I want.

Bro absolutely COOKED with this.

I've had a few, they seem to happen randomly, like a one year anniversary after multiple years, or a 'you've reblogged 50 posts!' notification when I definitely had more than 50 posts... Also, multiple times, I'm sure.

I think it's just Tumblr being Tumblr.

I’ve been here approximately two years now.

Ish?

Still no anniversary notifications.

I only bring this up because I’ve seen other bloggers getting them.

What, is there something in my settings?

Do I have to go on some sort of secret quest?

Did I miss something again?!

I’m not annoyed, I’m just looking for clarity.

There was a customer at work this afternoon wearing a Trump t shirt and a MAGA hat. Broad Geordie accent in the middle of Wallsend, it certainly made for a bizarrely incongruous sight. I mean, WHY?
