False, the 26th president was East Virginia native B. J. “Swiffer” Johnson, born and raised (by wolves) in the beautiful state capital of Virginapolis, best known for inventing the belt buckles, keeping a pet alligator named “Swiffer Jr.”, and his pioneering contributions to racism against the Irish
Sponge bob is very interesting as an adult viewer because the show has an almost obsession with the economics of daily life. Spongebob has a job. Starts businesses. Worries about getting fired and having to go on welfare or unemployment. You got Patrick who is explicitly unemployed. Squidward who dreams of pursuing his passions but is stuck in a low wage dead end job. You got mr krabs who is a. Wage thieving greedy manager. And you got jokes like this. This show is in dire need of some Marxist analysis
“spongebob is in dire need of some Marxist analysis” is not the hot take i expected today
this strike won them a 5% pay increase and the right to talk during lunch, in case you needed a reminder that if capital had its way your worklife would be entirely dystopian
This seems topical again.
“…and the right to talk during lunch…”
Think about the bastardly* boss-worker attitude of THAT.
It really makes me sick to see people giving money to penny weeklies when Franklin’s expedition STILL has not been found 😭 There are good men out there trapped in unimaginable temperatures and literally all that’s needed is a little more funding for another rescue mission yet all you guys seem to care about are your vulgar little stories…

I swear this website has 0 reading comprehension skills. Darwin NEVER claimed we “evolved” from apes like if one of you guys actually bothered to open his new book you’ll see all his arguments are backed up by evidence. He actually makes a lot of sense
#sure there’s nuance like i don’t fully agree with all of it #but his general theory of natural selection seems pretty sound imo
Of course these are the finalists lmao this website is so predictable. Anyway vote Heathcliff if you dont i’m going to assume you’re a phrenologist

It’s not problematic to acknowledge the fact that Heathcliff was a brute like he literally killed dogs in case you forgot. Anyway #rochestersweep
🙈 butchbrontefollow
I love the implication here that Rochester never did anything cruel either. He literally locked his wife in the attic and lied to Jane about it 😭 like that was a pretty significant thing that happened

Hi guys sorry I haven’t been posting lately it’s been so difficult getting to California 💀 I’m finally here now though just need to find a pickaxe and soon I’ll be digging! :-) wish me luck lol
some of you just need to pick up more hobbies outside media consumption. knit some scarves. have some gay sex
Does reading fanfiction count?
reading fanfic is literally media consumption……….. but idk who you are so idc what you do
So. Do *books* count as media consumption? And if not, why is fanfiction “media” but fiction or nonfiction books not?
It is never a bad thing to read and to have that as your hobby. And given you can easily enlarge print for fanfics and other online books, or use screen readers, it allows for increased accessibility for those with visual problems.
This is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences.
If this sort of weight-based medical bias happens to any of y'all, politely tell the doctor (during your visit) that you want them to write in your file that they are refusing ordering tests for you because of your current weight. This usually causes them to order the test anyways because they do NOT want a malpractice suit. Remember: You want to make a paper trail to hold them accountable.
So I just made a joke that “more women should poison their husbands” to my cool boss and then immediately found out that he got divorced because he was poisoned by his ex-wife
I’m apologizing profusely and he’s like “oh it’s fine it was funny” and then he offhandedly mentions that his next girlfriend tried to poison him also

“skip dinner and become thinner” more like “skip dinner and you have an eating disorder please get help”
“a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips” more like “a moment on the lips is okay to have, please take care of yourself in this lifetime”
“every time you eat you delay becoming skinnier” more like “every time you eat you give your body the nutrients it needs in order to survive, please keep surviving”
“you’ll be able to wear whatever you want when you get to your ugw” more like “you’ll be able to wear whatever you want now because fashion =/= weight”
“Don’t reward yourself with food your not a dog” more like treat yourself because you’re amazing and deserve happiness
This is actually really helpful thanks
I love this post for how it politely demolishes destructive pro ana/mia mantras i love it
“if you can pinch an inch” congrats you have skin and flesh like all humans
I… I… thanks… for sharing this cause I needed a lot.. hopefully anyone who follows me and needs can benefit from it too…
I really wish this was a thing I saw a few years ago, but I’m glad it’s circulation is moving strong. Just like you my wonderful followers <3<3<3 be brave darlings, I believe in you
Take care of yourself, guys. Eating is good for you, your body needs it or it will shut down. If you feel like you need to get healthier or lose weight, there’s tons of ways you can do that, that doesn’t put your body in danger. NEVER STARVE YOURSELF

parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day
Please remember that you do the exact same thing. Let’s give each other some grace and hope that we can work to heal each other.
speaking of game currencies at one point (10+ years ago) i was prototyping a browser MMO where you ride around space in giant cosmic creatures you tamed. for the most part the player race was humanoid but with some hinted-at avian ancestry, which means you’d shed some feather-like material every day - and because the supply of these feathers (my design docs from back then refer to them as “shiny little tags”) was slow but steady and scaled with population they just used that as currency. that’s them in the top-left:
lore-wise you’d come across wealthy NPCs who stopped bothering to collect theirs and would instead grow these dense natural feather coats as a status symbol. i think you generated 1*your level with each daily login? it was based on the idea of taking “time is money” literally but i don’t know if it’d make sense as a game economy. also maybe a little gross in retrospect. they were called chronons
i’m guessing at some point someone in charge must’ve been like “if there’s swords in the game then the currency is gold. if there’s spaceships the currency is credits. if you do otherwise i will kill you”
i haven’t played starfield yet but out of curiosity i had to check
“your partner isn’t responsible for your wellbeing”
“go tell this to a therapist”
“omg stop traumadumping” (after hearing a mild complaint)
can you guys hear yourselves? we are human beings. part of being in relationships (including friendships) with each other means looking after each other. we are responsible for each other. I look after your emotional needs when you need it, and you look after mine. sometimes things will be difficult and sometimes they’ll be outside my paygrade, and I’m allowed to step back from that. but you have to stop acting like it’s some massive toxic imposition on you to have to listen to someone talk about their feelings
i think people forget that its ok to like some bad music. everyone likes bad music. and not all shallow music is bad. yeah sure maybe this song about partying is just about partying but so what. people at parties probably want good party songs. like if your top song on spotify is one of the latest pop hits theres literally nothing wrong with that. its messed up that people get all high and mighty about listening to weevil and the heebiejeebies or whatever while shitting on some other person for liking mainstream artists.
happy spotify wrapped season or whatever what an important time to remember this
This person said this to me over a random tag I left on a photo months ago and I don’t know how to tell them I have a debilitating mental illness that makes me unable to leave my house
Spent this entire day alone in bed crying so hard because OCD is ruining my life and I keep having paranoid breakdowns and then I see this…….at least it made me stop crying and made me annoyed instead so thanks
This is so good and succinct I wanted to reblog it
