Yeah just a heads up. If you start judging people by bodyshape in any way I’ll kick you right in the teeth. Have fun describing someone’s face shape as inferior when your jaw is gone
I feel like we need some kind of snappy rhyme to articulate “if you are attempting to divine secret knowledge about a person from their skull shape or indeed any body part you are a Nazi full stop”
Because I’m only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven’t seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We’re worried, and we need people to know what’s happening to us.
One thing I love about Tumblr that wasn’t a thing on Reddit is that I can just write whatever the fuck text post I want. No titles. No putting text on images. No algorithms or karma. Just fuckin splatter your mind onto the screen and people will see it. Like god intended.
saw someone refer to not knowing how to keep track of your money as “girl math” ……why are we in this weird era of treating women like idiots but repackaging it to sound cute and quirky. We All Need To Stop
at this point i also take issue with those tweets/posts that are of the genre “girls were meant to sit in their bed with treats and do nothing all day” it was fun and #relatable maybe the first few times but it’s really just feeding into this weird mass objectification and dehumanization of women going on all over every social media platform now
my favorite thing about aa1 is gumshoe just straight up outing edgeworth as some kind of dramatically obsessed longing loser to phoenix and being like “lol did you know mr. edgeworth couldnt stop thinking about you the other day <3”
gumshoe: you’ve been living rent free in mr. edgeworth’s head these days btw!!
LMAO the last one! The strongman’s immediately like “No. No, absolutely not. Nope.” and the bodybuilder looks around like “Are you kidding me? I’ll die. You know that, right? I’ll die?”
The Rogue, the Paladin, the Barbarian have a day to themselves and enjoy some friendly competition.
This is such a fun video to watch. Not only do you see 3 versions of masculine fitness and strength but with each movement you can almost see where their weight is distributed and where they place their control. Which makes it fun to think about body builds and fantasy characters.
Periodic reminder that you are not immune to reactionary radicalization through fandom.
We all know the “jokes” about how old bronies either came out as queer or became fascists - except they’re not really jokes, and a lot of the queer ones admit to having been in the pipeline before they came out (some in a way that implies they never totally got out of said pipeline and don’t understand the gravity of it),
We’ve had terfs right here on tumblr dot com BRAGGING about how useful fandom is as a recruiting space,
TJLC was a big pipeline for acephobia on this hellsite in particular, when people argued that headcanoning Sherlock as ace was inherently homophobic because it was denying a TOTALLY GONNA BE CANON (while the creators were promising that it wasn’t going to be canon) gay pairing, and puritanical, and just HAVING that headcanon was saying that people COULDN’T ship Johnlock, all in the interest of a “fake” sexuality and “pretending to be oppressed” and oh whoops there you went,
We see people who all but center their fandom activity and identities around figuring out which people in predominantly queer fandom spaces are SECRETLY PEDOPHILES AND GROOMERS, acting consciously or otherwise under the assumption that predominantly queer fandom spaces are just massively infested with them in a way that other spaces are not for SOME reason, who twist the definition of “pedophilia” in these spaces until it covers shipping a 17-year old fictional character with an 18-year old fictional character, or a 30-year old with a 45-year old, or including an autistic character in a ship, and drawing two 17-year old characters kissing constitutes “child porn”, and who unironically say we should bring back the Hays Code and Censorship Is Good Actually And Our Problem Is We Don’t Do It Enough and this often becomes a pipeline to “sex ed is child abuse; people shouldn’t even know what sex is until they turn 18; you need my consent to wear certain outfits in public if I see them as sexually charged, and Pride SHOULD be an assimilationist sideshow for our corporate overlords family-friendly party with no sadness or anger or ESPECIALLY acknowledgement of sex allowed”,
We’ve seen otherwise progressive people defend literal hate symbols in fanart when pushback against the above brand of reactionaries gets corrupted into zero-nuance “it’s us vs. them so anything they don’t like is Good”,
Even outside of those examples some of the most vicious, unapologetic, blatant queerphobic abuse I’ve seen in recent years hasn’t come from right-wingers but from LGBT+ people, dressing their deep, violent, seething hatred for queer people who aren’t exactly like them in a thin veneer of progressive language, who have become so convinced that they’re the main character of the fucking universe that they think writing or enjoying a queer story that doesn’t resonate with them is more queerphobic than sending a queer person who writes or enjoys such a story countless rape and death threats and denying their identity,
We’ve seen these examples again and again and again, and we keep seeing it again and again and again, so I am once again on my knees BEGGING people to recognize that this is not Something That Happens To Other, BAD People, or Something That Happens To People In BAD Fandoms, or Something That Happens To People On The OTHER Side Of Perennial Drama; this is something that CAN happen to you.
These things are the result of the fact that fandom is, by nature, a place of heightened emotion and if you don’t know what to look out for that is very exploitable; you need to know the methods people use to do this, simply Being In The Right Fandoms or Liking The Right Ships is not enough.
So, if you see someone trying to convince you that you have the ONLY valid approach to any specific character, or ship, or show, or whatever, that your ship is activism and your fanfics are praxis, and liking something else or liking the same thing differently is Only For Bad People, that is the single biggest red flag that YOU NEED TO RUN, THEY’RE TRYING TO SELL YOU SOMETHING THAT YOU DO NOT WANT
Seeing people reblog this with mile-long DNI pages that talk about about “irredeemable media” and “you’re a pedophile if you like XYZ mainstream piece of media and I hate you” and “if you like these things that are bad irl happening in fiction in any context that’s apologism for them in reality and you should be ashamed” and “if you’re okay with consenting adults having weird sex and talking about weird sex with other consenting adults and putting weird sex in appropriately tagged fanfics that means you support rape and pedophilia and bestiality and incest and you’re evil” and “terfs and exclusionists and gatekeepers gtfo BUT combination labels aren’t valid and trans men aren’t really oppressed beyond collateral damage and fuck off if you think they are lol” and doing the biggest facepalm of my life like
👏 THIS 👏 IS 👏 ABOUT 👏 YOU 👏
👏 THIS 👏 IS 👏 ABOUT 👏 YOU 👏

So I sincerely hope, if you’re one of those people reblogging this, you’re taking it as a call to seriously reflect on those beliefs and how you came to hold them, and not just sitting there smugly thinking that when I said “YOU are not immune to this” I meant “YOUR FOLLOWERS may not be immune to this, but YOU are, oh great and glorious Knower of Pure from Irredeemable, holder of the True Correct Media Opinions”
Let’s simplify it a bit: No one is immune to doing evil, period. Always reflect on what you are doing and saying and why. Becoming complacent, thinking that you’re a “good person” and thus can only do “good things” is the fast-lane to the worst kind of evil: that which tries to justify itself as good.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, indeed.
I just discovered that my late grandfather was in the crowd that gathered in Milan in April 1945 to see Mussolini’s body hanging. He took a photo. We don’t have the photo. I wonder whether my aunt does.
Apparently he also went to La Scala to see whether there was an opera on, and there was nobody there, so he went on the stage. I don’t know whether he sang an aria to the empty house, but I rather think he did. It was the sort of person he was.
I remember he said, and I have no reason to doubt it, that when his unit passed through Rome he went to the Vatican and asked to see the Pope, and he actually got to talk to the Pope for thirty seconds. I wish I had even half the confidence that must have taken. The conversation went
Pius XII: Where are you from?
Grandpa: Birmingham.
Pius: A very great city.
Also I already told you he won the MC for blowing up fascists, yeah? This is the citation. His bomb didn’t go off so he crawled back and put another detonator on it.

When he talks about WWII boot camp in his memoirs, he mentions several times forging passes so he could get out to see my grandma. It’s really sweet.
Also while I’m stanning my grandfather: he looked amazing in drag.
I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.
dude.
$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.
re-reblogging and thinking about when i have another collection agency calling that i can just do this
For anyone and everyone that has medical bills that they can’t afford to pay
idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it
Ok so I’ve found a way to describe what Neurodivergent Can’t Do Task Mode™ feels like to neurotypicals
So you know how you can’t make yourself put your hand down on a hot stovetop? There’s a part of your brain that stops you from doing that? That’s what Neurodivergent Can’t Do Task Mode™ feels like
Even if we want to do it, there’s a barrier stopping us from doing it, and it’s really hard to override
And why does our brain see the task as a hot stovetop? Because when neurotypicals finish a task, they get serotonin, but we don’t get that satisfaction after completing a task. A neurotypical wouldn’t get serotonin from putting their hand on a hot stovetop, it would just hurt. When we can’t do a task, it’s because our brain knows that the task will hurt (metaphorically) and wants to avoid that.
It’s not that we’re choosing not to do the task, it’s that our brain is physically preventing us from doing it.
Neurotypicals can and should reblog but please don’t add anything
(Sorry/not sorry about the random bolding, it makes it easier for us to read)
and sometimes (for those of us that are not only neurodivergent but chronically ill/disabled) it can be our body’s way of telling us not to overexert ourselves.
it can difficult to rely on “typical” signals of exhaustion for many of us, so our bodies subconsciously adapt into letting us know when we need to STOP!
listen to your neurodivergent/chronically ill/disabled friends and family. our energy is different than yours.
fuck transphobes, and people who restrict access to gender reaffirming care especially if they know the statistics
“Black people are always undereducated and poor!” - Guess what.
“Gypsies (proper name is rromi but ydgaf) are always poor and isolated, plus are all unemployed thieves!” - Guess what.
“Women are dumb and only do good at the kitchen and at home raising children!” - Guess what.
“Trans and queer people are more often doing suicide!” - Guess what motherfucker.
“Furries are cringe and suicidal too!” - Guess the fuck what you piece of shit.
.
This formula works in any goddamn way no matter what try to put there. Calling someone X and then refusing to let them do something that X don’t usually do is a self-fulfilling prophecy of actually fucking making them X.
This shit’s been done to the Irish by the Brits, almost the entire black race, it’s been done to rromi, to fucking everyone.
And it’s never fucking late to just. Stop doing that shit. But terfs, sexist trads, furryphobes, racists, nationalists, nazi - all are so deep in the septic tanks they call their own brains that they won’t change unless the oppressed unite.
people on here are always saying “we NEED a story where the art of storytelling is abandoned” like ugh literary devices are soo annoying like that wouldn’t happen in real life that only happened to further the story (why is there story in my story) why would orpheus turn around when he was explicitly told not to why would icarus fly so close to the sun romeo&juliet catcher in the rye why are they so earnest why pour your heart and soul into anything why bother why cant all art be quippy logical monotony like my marvel movies there’s a void in my heart bc i refused to fill it and the curtains were blue
“i hate poetry its so pretentious” but then you reblog a quote or a throwaway line and say “why does this go so hard” you are desperate for poetry you are starved for it and u dont even realise you’re hungry
I’ve been walking around the trailer park and along the woods taking pictures of mushrooms I find and attempting to identify and catalogue them and I just want to say. it’s not fair that i’m not allowed to just cook and season and eat whatever mushrooms i find on the ground or on the trees or on a stump without a significant risk of having a bad trip or getting super poisoned. I should be able to eat whatever I find in the woods with no consequences.
“The average US president has been charged with 1.54 felonies” factoid isn’t true. The average US President has been charged with 0 felonies. Donald trump, who has been charged with 71, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted
Felonies Donld is now up to 79 felonies, for a statistical average of 1.71 felonies per president
Update:
With 91 felonies, felonies Donld has now broken the 2 felonies per president average average (2.02 felonies per president)
So if a handsome twink kidnapped you and told you he'd only let you go if you could fit more human teeth in your mouth than him, and he provided the teeth, about how many do you think you could fit in? Any teeth you naturally have don't count btw
My friend, you have made a terrible mistake. You have asked this of probably the only person on this website who collects human teeth as a hobby AND is trained in knife fighting.
I will wait for him to reveal the location of his tooth stash, then promptly beat the shit out of him (he’s a twink and I know how to stab people, it won’t be hard). Then I will steal his entire hoard of teeth and run off like the feral gremlin that I am.
national socialist party was democratically elected, tell me who was dumb enough to vote for them, hint its in the name
you know they weren’t in fact democratically elected, right
oh how did they come to power then?
It’s actually quite interesting
So, the July 1932 election results (after a voter intimidation campaign) were
37% Nazi
25% Socialist
13% Communist
So they had the largest share of the vote. But no other party would work with them, on principle, so there could be no coalition, so there could be no government.
Hence there was another election that November.
33% Nazi
20% Socialist
17% Communist
Same problem. So, the president used emergency powers to make Hitler the chancellor.
But…
A chancellor isn’t a dictator, and Hitler’s laws still had to be signed off by the president.
So he had the communist party outlawed, arrested its members and set up the first concentration camp, Dachau, for them.
“First they came for the communists” is literal truth.
Then there was another election in March 1933, with hardly any communists, and of course the Nazi vote was much higher.
When the Reichstag voted on the Enabling Act, the few communist members remaining were not allowed to attend or vote; nor were some of the socialists.
This meant that the Reichstag wasn’t quorate, but what the hell, it was a power grab anyway. The law passed and Hitler was in sole charge.
By the way, Hitler had tried to overthrow the government once before, and failed. Americans reading should reflect on this.
who would win: one extremely critically acclaimed author who had one of his stories turned into a beautiful stop motion animated movie directed by henry selick OR a 22 year old girl who makes jokes about putting people in death traps and self published a novella about a robot being shot into space that one time
