I still think it’s pretty pathetic that my only significant relationship and true love of my life has been my cat, but there are a lot of worse options

She is nothing like they imagined.

In the kitchen, the girl reaches the end of her tether, and then she leaves the house, finally.

What an interesting coincidence.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

Absolutely will never forget sitting at the terminal in an airport while a thin couple directly opposite me (like a few feet away) took pictures of me, snickered and whispered. I tried telling a couple of thin friends whose immediate responses were essentially “they weren’t, you imagined it.”

I’m sorry about this flesh wound I keep walking around with staining all your furniture maybe something happened that gutted me like a carp you hack apart to catch worthier fish ig I haven’t slept in months bc, silly me! the roof tore off & I have swallowed so much rain laying on my back taking it

if no one knows you’re alive you aren’t when a tree falls in a forest and there’s no one around to hear it it does make a sound but then that sound is gone

Is it a bad post? Very well then it is a bad post. (I am large, I contain multitudes of them.)

I will say Netflix is much more likely to reboot/whatever Supernatural than maybe most other networks so like. if you want another downside (affectionate)

I got tired of staring at my shoes from my living room so I made a a little curtain skirt for my bench 🥰

I mean. Get you a woman who can do all three, am I right?

"genuine appreciation is somehow considered less intellectual than criticism" is such a word the number of times I've said I enjoyed something and IMMEDIATELY, like a starting pistol just went off, someone gallops in to do "too bad you are simply Not Smart Enough to have spotted this list of flaws"

hey quick question why do I feel most alive when there’s snow on the ground

I just sent a draft of a research proposal to my advisor to possibly apply to a PhD program if I can find people dumb enough to supervise me and omg what am I even doing here lolsob

why would I get up when this is my view

i think the financial incentive to bait people into engaging with dogshit is a big part of how we got where we are.

I think the key part of this is in the final sentence about how “men themselves” are really hard on men bc I gotta say, most women I know want to split the bill to see if the guy is gonna have a meltdown about needing to pay so they can skip the second date lol

He was very weary; the day had been long, and full of dragons.

listen. sometimes the text is just too small or that guy mumbles or there’s construction going on and noise cancelling headphones will save your sanity or you’re not the exact average height for which they build all furniture or you didn’t get enough sleep last night and the light is stabby or…

Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.

It reminds me of the classic “real victims” fallacy that mainly functions to deny that victims are really victims in pursuit of respecting “real victims” but it’s just a practice of shaming specific victims that hurts everyone

We live in a country where restaurants trash thousands of pounds of perfectly good food every day while huge swathes of people live in food deserts and I'm supposed to get upset if someone gets a parking spot they aren't entitled to for 20 minutes? I don't have few enough problems to care about it

this feels like another iteration of the "what if I give a homeless man money and he buys booze" thing. So then he bought booze, so what, you are not his personal life coach. You did your bit now go live your life.

I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ

I find OU's actions throughout this story to be very concerning, not only because the university caved to a bad-faith reactionary smear campaign but also because it appears to be enrolling students who are borderline illiterate

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

Thing is, I’m literally a grad student studying storytelling’s connection to identity & agree with the Reddit guy (gn). Queerness as aesthetic and focus-grouped into oblivion sucks out the fun and, frankly, queer storytelling, TTRPGs pioneered. Keyboard activism and Tumblr-brain at its finest.
