While everyone is fighting over the "Confessing Feelings to a Tree vs a Woman" debate, I'm just over here and wondering if the tree's judging you because it dropped something on your head. 😐

Does that mean Isaac Newton discovered gravity because he confessed to a judgmental tree? 🤔

... Ignoring the fact that the apple falling on his head was actually a myth, and he actually just WATCHED it fall.

"man, every trans woman i meet has a shitty bed and small apartment and no money let's make fun of them for that, let's get self congratulatory assfaces in the reblogs saying they'll buy her a blanket, let's all point and laugh at the poor girl who is systemically discriminated against and therefore more likely to end up poor, unemployed, and homeless, isn't that so funny?????"

you guys talk about our poverty the way conservatives talk about iq

Thinking about Wade just running into a wall and Logan snapping his head around like "What the fuck are you doing !?"

Only for Wade to shake his head and hold it straight like some kind of cartoon charater. "Sorry! The player pushed the wrong button." And as he's stomping away, he's looking at the wall like "Really guys!? Infront of the Wolverine!? You're so embarrassing !!" Through grit teeth.

Logan blinks, and Al's like "Yeah he's just like that sometimes."

Not sure if I should be offended that my story has a ranking in "Worst," or if I should feel honored that it's not in the top 10 nor even top 600 of "Worst"? 🤔

Characters in poverty in media don't end up selling sex often enough.

Poor people in real life are a lot more likely to sell sex than characters on TV and in books and in films are.

The reason that characters are so much less likely to? Selling sex makes characters seem unsympathetic to the viewer, and rather than challenging the stigma it's easier to have them suffer and not lower themselves to selling sex or to have them struggle through finding other work and pulling themselves from poverty that way.

Doing sex work isn't shameful and it's okay to have your characters do it! In times of financial desperation, people are highly likely to consider sex work, even when it's something they view negatively. If a character is in prolonged poverty and does not consider sex work and knows no-one who does it, that is an unlikely scenario and you'd expect the circumstances to account for it. Your main character might not do sex work, but they should probably know another character who does (whether they're close or not).

If you're poor and so are all your friends, you're going to be in proximity to some kind of sex work. It's weird when that's sanitized from so much of the media I watch!

Finn Wolfhard being #1 M*leven anti for the 9483716 time he’s so me

Listen to this man’s voice he sounds so bored when he mentions the letter and as soon as the girl’s like oh you mean the fake letter? where she’s pretending? he’s instantly going “yeah yeah yeah exactly yes yes yeah” verbatim and starts making fun of Mike’s disconnect with El 😭 I just know he was thinking thank god there are people who get the letters weren’t a cute romantic thing and he doesn’t have to go along with any fawning
