Deliberately not telling me half the family are down with something like covid but definitely absolutely 100% not covid, because "you wouldn't have come if we told you 🥰" might have some unforseen consequences for my presence at future family gatherings.

Trauma dumping becoming a popularized term is just so fucking sad idk that’s one of the worst ones used casually obv there will always be people who say and ask too much from people who cant and don’t know how to handle it but it becoming some sort of pop psychology criminal offense is insane. like someone constantly oversharing is a huge sign something is very wrong you just need to understand that sometimes you’re not the one to fix it and can walk away if need be. Not talk massive shit and play victim ruining someone’s life because they told you too much about their childhood or something just keep it moving

being an archaeologist in tumblr is so funny because I see so many text posts and go. Imperialism pre-dates capitalism. Rebellion against empires pre-dates capitalism. Money pre-dates capitalism. Social inequality pre-dates capitalism. Misogyny pre-dates capitalism. Wealth inequality pre-dates capitalism. Unilateral rule by oppressive rulers pre-dates capitalism. People’s dependence on their job for their survival pre-dates capitalism. Capitalism as an economic system is about 200-250 years old max but these problems are much, much older, and capitalism supports, entrenches, or exacerbates many of these problems… doesn’t mean it invented them and doesn’t mean they will simply cease to be problems After Capitalism.

I really need people to understand that Rhaenyra’s only source of power is Viserys, he can literally name aegon heir any second and she won’t be able to do anything about it, just like Rhaenys. TB doesn’t exist outside the patriarchal society the story takes place in. The decision to cut the book scene of Viserys threatening Rhaenyra’s claim is insane to me because this is such an important plot point. If Rhaenyra was a man Viserys would’ve never been able to name aegon heir instead. Rhaenyra is just as dependent on the men in her life for power as any other woman in Westeros.

you can discuss the problems within academia literally forever and you probably should but “historians are trying to keep information from you” is always going to be an anti-intellectual, reactionary opinion, sorry, literally no way around that

I love when I’m in the middle of speaking and suddenly I’m like wait I literally don’t agree with what I’m saying

Leftists should rethink their "it's morally okay to kill every insurance company CEO because they play with people's lives" stance considering every single leftist who gleefully and maliciously voted third party or stayed at home even after Trump said out loud he's going to repeal the ACA (and replace it with the "concepts of a plan") and cut Medicare/Medicaid are going to be every bit as responsible for him and the Republican Congress doing it as the MAGA who voted for them.

There is no moral argument that justifies killing insurance company CEOs that doesn't also include making it morally justifiable to shoot every single non-Harris voter.

one of the bigger issues with misogyny is that people have difficulty seeing it, especially in our society now. it's not obvious to them. it's been naturalized since the beginning of human civilization. roe being overruled was an enormous piece of evidence that misogyny is entrenched and going nowhere and informs policy making on the lowest and highest levels. but most people don't understand why that should be evidence of misogyny to begin with. most people don't think about in those terms. the takes on the left were largely about how this will only affect some women, as if the wholesale rejection that any person of a certain identified gender should not be able to decide how their organs are used is not utterly repugnant. and then if you want to point to less obvious evidence of misogyny, things in the day-to-day, things like the "karen" meme or the fact that most cis women i know can't contemplate hairy legs or going somewhere public without foundation or the fact that stunt women get injured more bc the costumes of female characters are inadequate or the fact that inanimate objects of nature or machine have female names or pronouns or even the fact that in online fan spaces people can show little compassion or interest in female characters--little things that add up to full picture, but when pointed out earn the pointer rolled eyes or scoffs or profound disinterest or jokes in movies about supposed girl power where the explicitly and loudly feminist character says ridiculous things about how the word "semester" clearly invokes "semen."

and when it's really, really obvious, like when women are banned from even speaking to each other under certain regimes, it is of little note to the world.

Another woman utterly failed by our society’s devaluation of women’s reproductive health. We can’t wait around for male doctors to decide what we need to know. This is why we need to take control and educate ourselves about our own bodies.
