Me: Okay, I would like a card to congratulate a couple that just got engaged.
Card section: Bride to be? Bachelorette? Bride to be? Bridal shower? Bride to be?
Me: um no I actually would like it to be for both of them. Also it’s weird that there are zero groom-to-be cards.
Card section: OHHHH you want Mr. And Mr.? Or Mx. and Mx.?
Me: what? No. I appreciate the inclusivity but are there literally no cards for a straight couple? Only straight women? What does this say about our expectations for different genders in relationships?
Google AI is so hard to resent. “What if there was a robot that just LIED to you at the top of your Google search?” Well, that doesn’t sound GOOD but it sounds FUNNY, so, I think I’m in favor, but I don’t know why a major company would be.
The new model of terminator is harder to spot because it no longer moos while pooping
this has so few notes vs how “try mooing while pooping!” Is going to be a mental loading screen tip I have for the rest of my fucking life. I’m making myself sick imaging this scenario and laughing.
We’re on a new platform with a totally different audience…we have to prove ourselves all over again…convince a totally new group of people to think we’re funny and worth your attention….so allow me to drop some of my “A” material….the funniest thing I got…….here goes…….
we all know and love survivor guilt, but what about its uglier sister emotion, survivor envy?
that irrational, self-destructive, selfish part of you that thinks it should have been me. if it had been me, i wouldn’t have had to feel the agony of grief. i would feel better about myself if i’d only had the strength to make the sacrifice. i would be valued more if only i could take on the burden myself. i regret not siezing the chance to discover my limits. i despise the weakness of my own flesh. i hate you for making the choice for me. for not letting me hurt in your place.
it’s always bad for adults to interact with minors, which is why when I was born my mother was positioned at the window and I was birthed down a giant slip n slide that safely transported me to the hospital grounds, where I was quickly accepted and raised by a gang of feral babies who were born under similar circumstances. and that’s why my posts are so bad
fascinated by how “dislocate” seems to be a word used almost exclusively to refer to the misalignment of bodies, or parts of the body, from their proper place. it’s distinctly anatomical. you don’t say “i dislocated my keys” for instance, even though that’s technically a correct and coherent sentence.
on the other hand, it would be really funny to say “i misplaced my shoulder” to announce a devastating injury

Tim: When will Ted himself…finally show up to the talk? Dick: The final boss. Jason: You guys know TEDtalks stands for technology, entertainment, and design talks, right? Tim: I will not let Ted hide behind these lies any longer!
Just a reminder that ableism against personality disorders, especially cluster b personality disorder, is alive and well.
Not having empathy doesn’t make someone evil. It doesn’t make them an abuser. In fact, people without empathy are better in certain vital positions. We’re better at being first responders, 911 operators, and other tasks that would overwhelm empaths. We work better in critical situations than empaths do.
Thinking that any disorder makes someone evil is ableist. And when you take into account the sexist bias in diagnosing women with BPD and the racist and classist bias in diagnosing POC and prison inmates with ASPD and NPD? It’s not only ableist, it’s all kinds of -ists. Plus, it’s really rich for someone who claims that empathy is what makes someone good to have so little empathy for people with disorders that are literally trauma-based.
So yeah if you see someone being a dick to people with PDs? Say something. Because they’re definitely not going to listen to us.
I love that she’s not putting on a scary mask, or making scary faces or noises, or wearing her clothes to distort her figure, or doing anything overtly scary or inhuman. She’s just… walking in a way that humans are technically capable of walking and it’s somehow terrifying. It’s not even just that it’s unusual– if she’d come around the corner walking on her hands I doubt they’d have bolted.
I wonder if this is a learned fear (from horror movies and such) or something instinctive about the pose?
you sign up for the job because you want to save lives, and sometimes you get a chance to just be really, really, clear about “yes it is my job to save lives, there is an obstacle, and i am paid to use an axe to solve this problem”
To be fair, fire axes are cool
Hey, There is a good reason why Fire fighters were called instead of the cops.
Fire fighters care about lives a LOT while the police don’t exactly do the same. Especially in the US.
