also i love that the phrase “piss on the poor” is functionally an effective shorthand on here for “someone has a lack of reading comprehension”. wonder how long it will be before the knowledge that it is an intentional misapprehension of the phrase “piss poor” disappears and we get a Reader who says. the phrase piss on the poor is so cruel we should say something else
based on the notes of this post, which has gotten several thousand in the last day or so, we have in fact already reached this point
“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.”
(Incidentally, “piss poor” is itself taken from the phrase “not a pot to piss in”, which is itself a shortening of “not a pot to piss in or a window to throw it from”, in reference to those so poor that they had neither home nor chamberpot. Isn’t language fun?)
For those in the notes wondering, it’s a reference to this ancient post:
Wow, 2012.
[ID: screenshot of a tumblr post. OP by @drakensberg-blog dated Nov 28, 2012 that reads “The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor.” There is a reblog with comment by @poupon attached from the same date that reads “how dare you say we piss on the poor.” Tags at the bottom of the post read “#CLASS WARFARE #CLASS WATERSPORTSFARE #tumblr” /end ID]
autism is widely underdiagnosed in girls because autistic women tend to present as quiet and reserved, which is just how women are supposed to be.
personality disorders are underdiagnosed in men because they tend to present more explosively and involve more narcissistic behaviours, which is just how men are supposed to be.
sexism isn’t good for anyone. don’t be fooled.
when ppl ask why gender roles are dangerous!!!!! peep this!!!!!!
Another worldbuilding application of the “two layer rule”: To create a culture while avoiding The Planet Of Hats (the thing where a people only have one thing going for them, like “everyone wears a silly hat”): You only need two hats.
Try picking two random flat culture ideas and combine them, see how they interact. Let’s say taking the Proud Warrior Race - people who are all about glory in battle and feats of strength, whose songs and ballads are about heroes in battle and whose education consists of combat and military tactics. Throw in another element: Living in diaspora. Suddenly you’ve got a whole more interesting dynamic going on - how did a people like this end up cast out of their old native land? How do they feel about it? How do they make a living now - as guards, mercenaries? How do their non-combatants live? Were they always warrior people, or did they become fighters out of necessity to fend for themselves in the lands of strangers? How do the peoples of these lands regard them?
Like I’m not shitting, it’s literally that easy. You can avoid writing an one-dimensional culture just by adding another equally flat element, and the third dimension appears on its own just like that. And while one of the features can be location/climate, you can also combine two of those with each other.
Let’s take a pretty standard Fantasy Race Biome: The forest people. Their job is the forest. They live there, hunt there, forage there, they have an obnoxious amount of sayings that somehow refer to trees, woods, or forests. Very high chance of being elves. And then a second common stock Fantasy Biome People: The Grim Cold North. Everything is bleak and grim up there. People are hardy and harsh, “frostbite because the climate hates you” and “being stabbed because your neighbour hates you” are the most common causes of death. People are either completely humourless or have a horrifyingly dark, morbid sense of humour. They might find it funny that you genuinely can’t tell which one.
Now combine them: Grim Cold Bleak Forest People. The summer lasts about 15 minutes and these people know every single type of berry, mushroom and herb that’s edible in any fathomable way. You’re not sure if they’re joking about occasionally resorting to eating tree bark to survive the long dark winter. Not a warrior people, but very skilled in disappearing into the forest and picking off would-be invaders one by one. Once they fuck off into the woods you won’t find them unless they want to be found.
the bond between mutuals who only share one or two fandoms is stronger than an entire fandom combined… I do not know what you are blogging about but you are right, pip-pip and bing-bong are homosexuals who crave blood and understanding and I will heart that in support
dear @staff . please explain why pro palestine posts don’t get blazed
for a full story. got an email notifying me that @jaroro-64 blazed one of my posts(this one) around 11:09. then at 14:38 i got a second email saying the campaign was rejected
this isn’t the first time i have seen palestine related posts get rejected from a blazing campaign. here is an example.
the post was asking help and donations to provide esims for people in gaza. which in no way or form fall under any of the reasons provided on your help page
as esims are the only way for people in gaza to show the world the crimes being committed against them. not to mention censorship of palestain related posts in general, as shown in previous post linked
Is this what moms are up to on Pinterest these days?

Please for fuck’s sake don’t do this indoors, also use a hot plate instead of a flame burner so you don’t ignite the mixture, the sugar and potassium nitrate are a complete fuel and oxidizer mixture so it’s hard to put out, also if you get the proportions wrong it’s a basic solid rocket fuel
Oh yeah, also keep an appropriate thermometer handy so you don’t hit ignition temperature and have the whole mix go off in your face while you stir it
you’re wrong actually the uplifting neo-2010′s soulless corporate royalty free stock music playing in the background makes me feel comfortable enough to do anything it tells me to do without any fear whatsoever
I watched this whole video in increasing fear trying to figure out where the hell it was going
Idk if there is anyone out there who needs to hear this but:
If you’re having issues with your gender, sexuality, or just identity in general… it’s ok. It’s okay to discover yourself, it’s okay to change, and it’s ok to be comfortable with who you are now. Everyone goes on their own journey at some point, you should embrace yours. If you ever worry it’s “just a phase”, that is okay. You are allowed to try new things and experiment, you are allowed to realize if what you thought about yourself wasn’t true. You are allowed to grow and you’re allowed to change.

Sure you got your gym membership and you’re getting your body strong and stuff but what are you doing to increase your pain threshold? Gym people often overlook this vital aspect of the human anatomy. I’ve been hitting myself in the back of the head with a wrench 30 times a day for 3-4ish years I can’t even feel it anymore
ive been on HRT for an entire year now, and for most of that year my joy about my transition progress only a few months in has been nothing but an example of the unfair treatment trans women like me get on this site. and now that im a year older and hit my HRTiversary, they delete my account and remove the transition timeline again
youre not allowed to be happy about anything as long as you are a trans woman. my face as both man and woman was nothing but evidence of bigotry with a banner slapped above it to say my existence is explicit. and now the photos are completely deleted as if to say i should go with them. its not the first time, not by a long shot, and its going to happen again
Trolley problem? Oh no, a trolley would be part of the solution to the numerous issues with American urban design. Look at him, how could he do anything wrong
mcdonalds is on twitter like “hmm i want a big mac rn… anyone else?” and some people honestly believe that amtrak is on tumblr talking about lesbian sex and hating train cops
Also if you regularly work with kids/teens I cannot stress how important it is that you know someone who’s like really into lame emo junk. There was a girl my dad was working with who just flat out refused to talk to adults or anyone at all and one day I was there and I saw her wearing a homemade bracelet that had beads that said YLDNDAHFHHACYCSYCDAYDKK and since I was also once a 14 year old making niche homemade mcr merch I was like “oh my god you like dnd Audrey Hepburn Fangoria Harry Houdini and croquet you cant swim you can’t dance and you dont know karate!!!” and she looked at me like I’d said literal magic words and now we talk about music all the time
If you’re working with troubled kids you need several people trained in child psychology with godlike levels of patience and at least one person who knows five nights at freddys lore front to back
the moon told me personally that she thinks you’re obnoxious and hopes you never get a girlfriend
I have a theory that the moon IS a trans woman cause she’s always associated with feminine things but when we saw the craters that look like a face we called it “The Man In The Moon”. She’s a woman with a face that people may perceive as male. She’s a beautiful trans woman
the moon is a beautiful trans woman who hates terfs and shows her face every night to remind other trans women they are beautiful and strong and loved and important and wonderful and that terfs and their opinions dont matter
I wanna add to this if it’s ok?? In Hindu mythology, Chandra, the moon, was originally thought of as a male deity. However, as time went on, symbolism involving the moon and the name “Chandra” itself became identified with femininity, with beautiful girls being described as having “moon-like faces,” with their dark, long hair reminding lovers of the midnight sky, and names like “Nilaa” (”moon” in Tamil) and “Indu” (in Sanskrit) are now pretty much now completely girl names!
AlsO Chandra is married to 27 wives, who are all stars. The moon is a trans lesbian and is gay for all the stars in the sky.
Reblog if you’re gay for the trans lesbian poly moon who supports all woman.
Went to a masquerade ball and danced with a charming butch, but she left hurriedly at midnight, muttering excuses about waking up early to build a deck. I’ve been searching the lands for her ever since with this massive carabiner she dropped…
Are you sure it’s at home? You didn’t say… drop it at a party?
craziest phenomenon on the internet lately is people who will be like “cringe culture is DEAD be WEIRD be FREE have FUN cringe is DEAD do WHATEVER YOU WANT FOREVER!” and then immediately crucify anyone who is queer in a way they don’t like. or wants to kiss a fictional character. or thinks the computer is hot. like ohhh i get it you’re only okay with weird people you personally can tolerate. you are a tar pit
hello tumblr user. a week ago you reblogged a post stating “cringe culture is dead”, and today a post where a user calls an anime boy their boyfriend has come across your dash. if you reblog, reply, or vaguepost about this being “annoying” or “weird” or “cringe” the piranhas in the lake below you will bite your dick off. if you say and do nothing you can leave. good luck
im having feelings about the uffington white horse again
so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.
people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.
we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.
the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?
