Holding women to a higher standard is a form of misogyny. It’s not a compliment. It means they’re rewarded less when they do excel and looked down upon more when they don’t. We need more ugly and stupid women

I think the first hurdle to become a great feminist thinker is to actually realize and get comfortable with the idea that it's fine for stupid women to exist. like you just gotta....you gotta embrace that stupid women exist I'm sorry but it's actually normal for some women to be stupid and you gotta move past it. if you meet a woman who is really truly up and down dumb as a box of rocks, you can just say okay cool and you don't have to get mad you can just go welp who among us is not dumb sometimes and then you gotta move on and save your ire for important things

How to Change Your Habits in Incremental Time Periods

Its become apparently obvious over the past six months that we tend to write more articles during the colder winter months whilst we are trapped indoors more than when those beautiful spring days POP UP in mid-April and quickly yield into long gorgeous summer months of June, July and August. Anyone who clicks on the calendar history or searches the archives will find this statement to be true.…

One other thing!

Gita Jackson, one of the MANY talented and insightful writers ripped off by Him Whose Name We Speak No More, has this to say:

Agreed 100%! I’ll be damned if I let you hoes run around with impostor syndrome after this.

Write the thing. Make the video. Do the thing. Whatever. Be honest, credit your inspiration, try and add a little something. That’s the bar.

so five and lila being a thing is going right next to allison literally sexually assaulting luther in the box of things we are absolutely under no circumstances accepting as part of canon right

This has been said before, but I just love how wild ninjago shipping culture is

Four guys all living together and fighting crime? Yeah their poly ship is of one the most popular in the fandom

Which one won a “best ship” tournament? The (probably ace) robots of course

You want middle age men in love? We got two that are very popular, take your pick

The various of female side characters that were created almost exclusively to be love interests for the male leads, why not ship them together?

You want the main character shipped with a kid he used to go to school with and has only been in like two episodes? Almost universally considered better than what was almost his canon ship

You like the canon ships? Great for you, we got stuff for that too and we’ve added some much needed depth

Any flavor you want them, whether it be enemies to lovers or doomed by the narrative or canon compliant, it probably exists somewhere

And is shipping not your thing? There are more gen fics than anything else

So I finally got around to listening to Dog Park Dissidents... I didn't expect a song about the death of gay cruising culture to make me want to cry

Finally, someone in media says the thing. Out loud.

[starflungwaddledee]

so about the ship thing . . . Have you heard of a little guy called Sailor Dee? They showed up in Revenge of Meta Knight as part of Meta Knight's crew, and I think a couple other times in minigames and merch. I imagine he'd be braver than the average dee since he works for MK, so maybe they'd be able to power through the ick reaction like Bandee

hmmm... i think you might be onto something!

might be about to give bandee a run for his money, perhaps. speaking of... here's a little bonus:

A common question and critique, both in feminist literature and in (online) feminist spaces, is ”Why aren’t the good men doing more for women? Why are they still so passive despite being the 'good' ones?”

Okay, so the answer is actually pretty simple.

At best, these self-proclaimed or so-called "good men" don’t care as long as it isn’t inconvenient for them personally.

At worst, they either secretly or openly enjoy women‘s oppression, humiliation, violation — both due to mere sadism and due to the fact that they actively benefit from it, personally as well as systemically.

That‘s why "good men" are nearly non-existent. Some might be allies when it comes to certain topics (though probably not for genuine women-oriented reasons, and yes, intention matters), however, they‘ll still be misogynistic and oppressive in other ways, or tolerate those who are.

And the concept of a "good men" who‘s "passive" is completely ridiculous. If you, as a member of the oppressor class who‘s advantaged by our systemic & worldwide oppression all the damn time, think that not doing anything makes you "good", you‘re merely a bystander, and hence a (silent) enabler. Not a "good man who‘s just being passive".

Silence is complicity.

They don’t deserve to be labelled as "good". Not harming us with their own hands is the barest minimum. And we deserve to raise our standards, and we also deserve that our sisters raise theirs.

Women for Women. That‘s it. That‘s the only way.

can't get over agatha all along and how all I expected from the finale of the Marvel show with the creator jerking themselves off in every interview about how queer it is was ONE flashback scene that didn't even have to be more than 2 minutes of the relationship between the queer women one of which is the titular character and not only did I not get that I instead get the creator saying they thought about writing the exact scene I wanted but didn't bother because it wasn't important enough to the story INCREDIBLE mind blown like it's actually impressive honestly well done

here's Eclipse's response:

Eclipse: Any allergies or food restrictions I should take note of? I do want you to enjoy your meal, after all. Shall I start you off with a drink? How about something refreshing? Maybe something fizzy?

Mousey’s Bar on Avenue C and 13th Street, NYC (1976)

[kacievvbbbb]

Shanks, because he is infinitely more politically minded than Mihawk (a man actually in the government) will ever have the patience to be, is more than likely aware that the marines will be extremely rattled and that the blow back would be intense if a Warlord of the sea was seen around an Emperor.

And sinces he’s not trying to cause a WG incident everytime he tried to go on a date with his pretty bird and also because he’s just a troll at heart. Shanks has collection of increasingly ridiculous giant sunglasses that he insists (read pouts) that Mihawk wear to hide his gorgeous eyes, before they go anywhere they could be seen.

What started out as a “necessity” had quickly grown into Shanks’ pet project of finding out just how absurd a pair of sunglasses could be and how much would he have to beg before Mihawk put them on?
