#it’s almost condescending

the type of character that just smirks at you when you’re on top makes me feel so—

i'm a us liberal and i think you're cool

i highly doubt you're a liberal then and just think liberal = leftist which it very much does not

When I talk about something bad I've experienced, Baked In to my experience as A Woman, I am not "making my little cousins feel like shit for being women", because I am talking in a space with, allegedly, adults. I am not bringing my problems to children in the first place. That said, I don't HAVE to make my baby cousin feel bad, because she's already experienced sexual harassment in her life, and she's only 8, and doesn't even understand what any of it means yet. And everyone in her family can try to instill confidence in her, and never talk about our bodies in a negative way. But she can still feel like she's too chubby, because she still goes to school, and talks to other kids and their parents, and still sees ads, and still watches tv. We can be positive, but we can't fix the root of the problem. And I don't HAVE to tell trans women that "pain is a rite of passage", because that's not a Rule being enforced (by me), because I've already sat and listened to my friend complain about constantly shaving as a Baseline necessity and how it hurts her skin and she has to put makeup onto fresh cuts on her face because going out without a full face of properly feminine makeup would make her life worse, and being anything less than thin and lithe makes her "less feminine", and ALL the things that can make her "more feminine" are behind a paywall. And I can try to make her feel better, and I can hear her experiencing the tenfold version of problems I relate to, but I can't fix the root cause of her problems by just telling her not to complain. Forcing happiness as a core personality trait for women is not the Girlboss Feminist move that you think it is, and no amount of gender euphoria in the world will make you immune to systemic oppression.

i wasn't supposed to be on tumblr but i felt i had to say this. we all know that the person who stabbed odysseus in mutiny wasn't eurylochus, right?according to the livestream animatic, it seems to be perimedes. eurylochus didn't try to kill odysseus guys (and neither did perimedes for that matter, he stabbed him in a non-lethal place)

i'm saying this completely unironically but not letting sports dictate your mood is the best thing you can do for yourself if you tend to be deeply affected by sports results. like genuinely not kidding best thing i ever learned to do

can we have a hint about what the spring break tim patrol chapter of red letter day contains? (you kept having dick say "if the joker shows up" and tim's "he won't." for me to be convinced that goes off without any trouble)

i'm sure it'll be fine. :D

i am delighted you're enjoying the story <333 i haven't updated it in soooo long but i got some very sweet comments lately so i have been looking at my scribbles again <3

hc that emily called everyone “bestie” but *not* in a nice way.

Going to start talking about military history exhibits the same way people talk about textile history.

"We don't need to see that one."

"You won't like that one, it's for boys."

"Oh, it's just guns up there."

"I'm glad they collected that, I guess, but it's not very interesting."

also why I simultaneously understand 'you need to eat vegetables' as an objective statement about our body's need for food-based vitamins, fiber, etc./appreciate the tips that one post includes for incorporating them into your diet if you struggle with the taste/texture AND resent that post for its condescending 'gentle' opening and for this site's/mainstream society's open derision and contempt for people who literally cannot consume them anyway. yeah fucking obviously vegetables are good for you. but food restrictions are real too. sorry that disabilities are disabling.

Soooo what are y’all’s hcs on the Tweak family 🤔🤔🤔

I need all the adults to stop scaring kids and teenagers telling about how miserable their life will get as they get older

STOP

Bullied kid from elementary school doesn't need to hear that school will get harder

Middle schooler who's signed up to way too many activities doesn't need to hear that there'll be even less time left in the future

High-school student doesn't need to feel like their life will literally end if they don't succeed academically.

They don't need to hear your condescending tone about how life is about to get harder for them. You're scaring the living shit out of them and they literally loose their hope for better future. Do you think it's funny? Don't you remember the depth of the despair you were absolutely capable to feel as a teenager or even as a little kid?

No one who's struggling needs to hear the word of wisdom about them having it easy, and you're an absolute piece of shit if you keep doing it thinking it's funny.

rgu is not actually very hard to understand, but i do get why it's gotten that reputation. there are certainly things about it that are difficult to wrap your head around, like if you focus a lot on specific symbols. but the emotional core of the story, a narrative about abuse, should be pretty clear to anyone who watches it.

Me: yeah I had to go no contact with my mum at 15 but I don't have stereotypical mummy issues or whatever

Also me: hello girl who is. At least five years older than me with a doting personality who acts like a nurturing mentor. You are so my type. Hey.

Medicaid care coordinator mentioned "stepping down to a lower level of care" because I've been able to manage my appointments and consistently stay on top of regular healthcare tasks and I had to put it as bluntly as possible like "Ma'am I am autistic to such a disabling degree I'm applying for SSI, the reason I can manage my medical care 'independently' is because I have a team of care coordinators who find the info I need, tell me exactly which steps I am required to complete in chronological order, by what deadline, and call me once a month to remind me and give me all the same information you've given me five times before, via text, email, and phone message. This is a disability accommodation without which I would not be able to manage my healthcare. On account of I have autism"

see I am very disjointed from a lot of nine/ten fandom discourse because I genuinely believe that in a different world where space boy was not to be seen, had an older Rose gone to the hospital and bumped into a certain Doctor Jones by a vending machine or as she was taking Rose’s vitals, she would have instantly hit it off with Martha. and probably flirted with her a little on accident and then on purpose when Martha flirted back
