my favourite instagram account is “wheredoesthepeecomeout” and it’s run by a girl who asks men on tinder where cis women pee from and then documents their answers
some highlights:
everybody sit down we have a winner
Oh my fucking God lmao
Pee does come from the bloodstream, but I’d be real worried if that was where it came out
This is the funniest possible use of this image I can think of.
you cannot fight for equality if you hate, dehumanize, and exclude children.
“i hate children” unlearn that. they’re people. many of them are a part of the marginalized groups you claim to fight for.
it is not children’s fault society pressured you to reproduce and forced heteronormative ideology onto you.
it is not children’s fault they remind you of your own bad childhood.
it is not children’s fault they are loud and messy and still learning how to behave around others.
they are people—some of the most defenseless among us in basically every way, including legally. if you don’t want to keep them safe and include them in your activism, you’re part of the problem.

StumbleUpon once sent me to a supercut of Lion King, Lion King 1 ½, and Lion King II, the main edit being that the scenes of Lion King and Lion King 1 ½ were interspersed so that they happened in the order they actually happened.
stumbleupon not existing anymore can be directly traced to a dramatic decline in my mental health, I could do a thesis on it.
bestie stumbleupon very much still exists its just called cloudhiker now. i use it all the time.
mini compilation of suggestions from the replies:
The Bored Button - “Press the Bored Button and be bored no more.”
Cloudhiker - “Discover the most interesting, weird and awesome websites of the Internet” (not really a rebrand, it’s a different person running it but they have the same intention in mind)
Astronaut.io - “These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you).”
Marginalia - “This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren’t aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed.”
People online (white) will create so many conspiracy theories that just boil down to “Asians aren’t complete human beings with their own thoughts and autonomy” like maybe Chinese people are just going about their day to day life. Maybe a video of a North Korean person like chilling is just a person chilling, who isn’t going to power down like a robot once the video is over. Stop being a fucking creep.
Comments on a video of a Chinese person making dinner: “THIS MUST HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY VETTED BY THE CCP! THE CCP ONLY ALLOWS THE CHINESE CITIZENS TO EAT 2 MEALS A DAY”
Comments of a video of a Japanese person making dinner: “Oh sweet baby 🥺 your meal looks so cute ♥♥♥ I’d eat it with you♥ Your so cute♥”
“calling someone ‘it’ is dehumanizing” well yeah it can be, but have you considered that it also doesn’t feel very nice to not have your pronouns respected?
I know the US government acts like a corporation but it’s not.
Not voting isn’t the same as a boycott. Because you can’t bankrupt a government by not voting. All you get by not voting is less control over what the money is doing.
The money comes from taxes, not voting. Abstaining from voting does nothing to reduce the governments ability to get money and spend it on shit.
So yes, sometimes you vote to reduce harm because not voting WILL NOT REDUCE HARM.
It’s not a boycot. Abstaining doesn’t take power from the government. It just reduces the number of people they feel answerable to.
Not only do they not give a shit if you don’t vote it’s precisely what the most sadistic ones are hoping for.
hi everyone i hope y'all doing alright < 3 (june 2024)
as many of you know I’m going through some tough times dealing with benzodiazepine withdrawals and depression. leaving benzodiazepine and stop taking them It’s not easy, but I’m working on it. i’m highly medicated because of my mental illness (i take anti psychotics, antidepressants and more).
i have to mention too i have been out of meds since saturday
i’ve felt very demoralized by asking for help on here but i’ve talked with some friends and some of you said it wasn’t a problem and it was okay to ask for help
If you’re willing and able any support would help cover my medication i fully appreciate it if you can’t that’s okay sharing my post helps a lot. if someone knows about any jobs online please let me know, i’m willing to work whatever
reblogs and sharing my story helps a ton too, if there’s anything you want to know please let me know and we have chat, being skeptical about strangers online it’s okay…thank you if you read this and thank you for the help everyone
BP did hire PR firm Ogilvy & Mather in 2004, and coined the term ‘carbon footprint’ as well as creating the 'carbon footprint calculator’. This gave the impression that climate change was primarily the fault of the individual consumers.
From a New York Times opinion piece on carbon footprint (via the Wayback Machine): 'In 2004, BP hired the public relations firm Ogilvy & Mather to improve its image, in part by conveying the message that consumers of oil and natural gas bear the responsibility for their greenhouse gas emissions, not the producers of the oil and gas they use. The result was BP’s ingenious carbon footprint calculator, which allows individuals to calculate the carbon emissions that result from their activities.’
From a BBC Future article on 'how companies blame you for climate change’: 'Similar criticisms have been levelled at terms like “carbon footprints” – which was first coined in a 2005 TV advert from BP. The advert appears to show members of the public being stopped in the street and asked what is “their carbon footprint”.’
From an Irish Times on individualising blame: 'In 2004, it unveiled a “carbon footprint calculator”, so that individuals could assess how much their daily activities were polluting the planet. The marketing campaign, led by Ogilvy & Mather, fostered the false idea that climate change was the fault of individuals rather than fossil fuel companies.’
a guy at school today was wearing this damn fine red nail polish and I heard these two girls whispering angrily and looking in his direction so I listened in expecting them to be weird about it and the first thing I hear is “how the HELL did he get it so good did he get it professionally done or something you need to ask him where he found that colour jesus fucking christ are you KIDDING me”
I think this is a good example of how the world should work.
never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.
Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining
This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.
Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes
Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”
Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”
When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?
And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking
This is so important
That self-aggrandizing technique is no joke.
I replaced “I’m stupid” with “I’m a God damn genius.” “Move over newton” “another masterpiece”
I replaced “gross/ disgusting” with “sexy/attractive” “the hight of elegance”
I replaced “I suck/ that sucked/ this is bad” with “fantastic”, “a lovely time”, “ swell/jolly good”
Replace every negative with a positive. Say it so sarcastically. Make it complicated make it entertaining have fun with it.
It will stop your self deprecating and build confidence. And people are more easygoing around you.
