#no one is questioning it

[emily84]

seriously though. seriously. considering just israel's perspective on this. tensions have been building and building after netanyahu's scary (and successful!) attack on the supreme court, there have been mass protests and escalation and repression by the most conservative, far-right government israel has ever had. support for the compulsory military service has been at its lowest point. not even considering the worsening of the demographic crisis (ultra-orthodox vs. jewish people from former soviet union countries vs. secular, etc.)

and suddenly there's this powder keg exploding that completely derails the israeli people's attention towards this one specific target - and you're going to tell me, you're gonna look me straight in the eye and tell me it's not convenient that it's happening right now? right now, when this government is being rejected, its many policies questioned including the occupation, and netanyahu desperately needed something to boost loyalty and completely destroy any nuance in the ongoing conversation about these issues, and this suddenly happens, and you are seriously telling me this, the oldest fucking trick in the book of any reactionary/authoritarian regime in action, isn't giving you even the smallest bit of pause before you lash out against "the palestinians"?? seriously???

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

my friends held an intervention for me to "stop asking intimidately specific questions". i tried to explain that i am just a good listener but there is apparently "a line between follow-up questions during small talk and interrogation tactics that gets crossed sometimes". turns out my curious nature is "scaring the hoes"

u ever read a fanfic so good that you want. fanfic of the fanfic

[portraitoftheoddity]

One time in my early 20s I got really drunk at a party where someone handed me a stein full of what turned out to be moonshine from a barrel in some guy's garage and said "try this it tastes like pie" and a) it DID taste like pie, but b) only on the way down, not on the way back up, given it was something like 120 proof -- so my memories of the next couple hours are very vague but involve a bunch of ex-football players from South Boston walking me around the block in circles handing me bottled water trying to sober me up, and eventually because I was too shitfaced to get home but no longer puking my guts up and dying I crawled into the back of my car to sleep it off in a sleeping bag I kept there; but there was a guy at the party who was also sleeping in his car and this was Boston in the fall so it was like 40ºF out at night and anyway this other guy I met at this party who was a middle aged mercenary from liverpool who had served in the french foreign legion or something ended up knocking on my car door asking if he could huddle with me for warmth and I said yeah okay but there's only room for me in the sleeping bag so don't be weird about it, and to his credit he was not weird and we just slept in my car and in the morning he asked if I wanted brekkie and bought me dunkin donuts while I nursed the worst hangover I have ever had in my life then or since and trying to figure out whose heavy metal hoodie I was wearing and how I managed to leave this party with more clothing than I arrived in.

So if someone singing pirate shanties hands you a stein of mysterious liquid and tells you it tastes like pie, probably don't chug that shit.

LGBTQ+ folk what was your gender/sexuality pipeline?

[officialspec]

can i say something. for years i thought the joke of the song short skirt/long jacket by cake was that he wanted a woman who was hung like a horse. like i thought when he says jacket it was a last-second fakeout because he very obviously meant to say cock. and the rest of the things in the song were just her personality and interests. which were secondary to her awesome penis
