#but basically saying fuck you

The new discord ui is so counter-intuitive. Why change something that doesn't need fixing..

[inkskinned]

the tradwife movement is the same as it has always been - back in the kitchen, back to breeding - it just has better branding.

when i was younger, i hated pink. i was not like other girls. this is now something i'm embarrassed of - this was not me being a "girl's girl."

but it was expressing something many of us felt at the time: i literally wasn't what girlhood was supposed to be. this is a hard thing to explain, but you know when you're not performing girlhood correctly. it isn't as easy as "i liked x when girls liked y" - because there were other girls that liked x, too - but i never figured out exactly the correct way to like x, or to be interested in y.

now there is the divine feminine. this is the same rhetoric it has always been: women are biologically driven to like pink and ribbons and submitting to our husbands.

the problem is that the patriarchy found a better PR team. because yes, actually, i want every woman to have the choice to be a homemaker. i also want her taken seriously for her legitimate home-making labor. i want her to be recognized as also having a job, just unpaid. i want men to have this opportunity, too.

but it is no longer "i made this choice and I love it." instead it is a sixteen-paragraph rant about how selfish it is that my generation isn't having kids. instead it's long videos about how if you feed your children processed foods, you're going to kill them. instead it is "this is what womanhood is supposed to be. i feel bad for any other choices you're making."

the shame spiral is just prettier. it is large houses devoid of personality. it is the implication: if you don't have this, you aren't happy. the solid, everlasting assurance: women are actually supposed to be submitting. this is the default. this is the natural state of things. all other attempts inflict suffering.

but you can no longer say i'm not like other girls. you can no longer reject this image completely. you cannot find it revolting, even if you know that the underbelly is toxic and festering. sure, it is the same repackaged patriarchy. but the internet does not have shades of grey. you should support and reward other women! your disgust is actually internalized misogyny. not because you are seeing a vision of yourself the way they're trying to train you to be. not because you feel her ghost pass within an inch of your earlobe. not because your father will eventually ask you - why can't you be like her?

because they figured out how to make it beautiful: women will sell other women on this idea, and we will find the singular loophole in feminism. sure, she's shaming you in most of her videos. sure, she implies that a different life is obscene. but she just wants you to be happy! you'd be happier if you were listening!

and the whole time you're sitting there thinking: i'd actually just be happier if i had that kind of money.

Dear Big Brother

kind of a sequel to this comic

[lazylittledragon]

Imagine you got turned into a mech and teleported to the middle of the Quintesson attack on Cybertron. But the catch is - all the characters whose Transformers toys/figures you own are in your squad and they are on your side.

If you have two Megatrons or like three Ratchets you can have all of them. Can't wait to see if someone's squad is just them and their 200 Bumblebees

love fics where Danny ends up in the DC universe & every alarm goes off at once & the magic users are like "yeah that's the most powerful being in the universe & also possibly super evil we are FUCKED fucked" & the Justice League is freaking tf out trying to find this thing that casually tore a hole in reality & it just cuts to Danny (Fenton) standing in the background blissfully unaware & like "man my life sucks but at least i have this candy bar—" *drops it in a puddle*

The serpent

[lucabyte]

Yeah, that about sums it up.

[yallstar]

forgiveness... can you imagine?

[linkemaus]

Not to be that person, but if Kamala Harris were a white man with the exact same ideals, positions, and beliefs, it wouldn’t have even been a competition. Realising that the worst thing you can apparently be is a woman, is truly devastating.

So a big part of being a gypsy (at least where I’m from) is the “rule” that we’re not to teach non-gypsies (gadjas/gorjas/joskins) the Romani language. Since I already broke that rule to make a joke about the fact that Kori is the Romani word for Dick…

I am now going to beg someone to write a fic in which Dick says ‘dordy’.

Dordy is an exclamation in Romani, and roughly translates to ‘oh fuck’ or ‘oh shit’ or ‘fuck me!’. Basically said like ‘oh no’ but with a bit more oomf.

Uses include:

‘Dordy!’ - ‘oh fuck’ - something terrible has happened, e.g. I have been punched and it hurt.

‘Dordy!’ - ‘Jesus fucking Christ!/oh my god!’ - a general exclamation of surprise. e.g. a loud noise which shocks you, a stubbed toe.

‘Dordy!’ - ‘ahhh! Watch out!’ - said preemptively to quickly draw attention, e.g. you are a passenger and the driver has not seen a hazard on the road.

‘Dordy!’ - ‘I can’t believe it’/‘Goodness me *clutches pearls*’ - sometimes followed by the Romani phrase ‘dick-eye’ (idk how to spell it, Romani is a purely spoken language since half of us are illiterate so play around I guess. Also yes it is hilarious that ‘dick’ is a Romani word too) meaning ‘look over there’. Often very tongue-in-cheek and more about drawing attention to a social faux-pas for gossip reasons.

‘Oh dordy, mush/chavvy!’ - ‘oh you are fucked, man/person younger than me!’ - used most often when holding back laughter as you watch a friend of sibling get their comeuppance. Very much the vibes of ‘nice knowing ya, mate!’

I just think it would be hilarious. Holy linguistics, Batman!

Also sidenote, I got fixated on translating ‘Holy X, Batman!’ into Romani and realised there is no Romani word for bat, you just use a loan word. So, without further ado:

Dordy, Batmush!

Okay so with the line "the olive tree where we first met" we have two equal hilarious options.

When penelope was sassily like oh I'll marry you if you make a living bed out of this tree right here! Cue penelope stumbling over odysseus very very carefully digging up the tree "because how else is he going to get it to itacha we can't have a wedding bed out in the open in sparta duh"

Or

2. Penelope, knowing that Helen's suitors would soon be arriving to take over her home for a while. Snuck out and went on her own wacky shenanigan filled journey where she scoped out all the major players. Odysseus caught her spying in an olive tree. And when she got back she told Helen she had dibs on the cutie from itacha.
