“you were born evil” is an insane thing to say to your daughter who once begged not only for her life but for the lives of her coven. who swore she couldn’t control what she was doing and wanted help. who once promised she could be good if only you taught her, mentored her, loved her, like a mother should.
The hardest part of being a substitute teacher is sometimes a twelve year old walks into your classroom wearing a ten-gallon cowboy hat for no reason and you cannot under any circumstances say “hell yeah”
You’d be the coolest substitute if you did tho
And this is why all the kids say I’m their favorite sub, because I do
Also are those people forgetting that in the past when a genocide/war has occurred we weren’t living in an era where common people basically live half of their lives online…… saying that a “real Palestinian wouldnt have time to ebeg on tumblr” is like saying “oh a real hamas combatant wouldnt have time to make tiktoks in the middle of a war zone” like are those fake too lmao
“Guys i cant believe that the first war to be heavily documented on social media by those affected would heavily involve social media”
A pretty strange aspect of the current accelerated genocide in Ghazzah is the simultaneous terror and boredom. Because there’s literally fucking nothing to do when society has collapsed and all infrastructure has been destroyed. This is why there’s plenty of videos of people sitting together and singing, or going to the beach to hang out, or coming up with activities for the kids in refugee camps to lift their moods.
Not that any of this matters to anyone who’s already scrutinizing genocide survivors to this extent. If you can, with full confidence, already decide you know more than Palestinians about Palestinians, and go far enough to dehumanize us, accuse all the Ghazzans on tumblr of being scams or fake because they do things you wouldn’t do or speak in a way you’re not familiar, you have dehumanized us completely. You do not see us as people and you’re not looking to empathize, sympathize, or try to understand the circumstances of Ghazzawiyeh and that they’re just doing their best to deal with them.
today in college someone said “wasteful is…your pants” and I said “please, grammatically continue” and everyone at my table laughed. it is a good day to be a sfth fan
FRANCE HAS REACHED THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SIGNATURES ON THE CITIZEN’S INITIATIVE AGAINST CONVERSION THERAPY IN THE EU!!
ONE COUNTRY DOWN, SIX TO GO!!
We also need still quite a few signatures in order to reach the one million required.

Finland - 30.31%
Ireland - 24.86%
Netherlands - 24.15%
Germany - 23.54%

So yeah, still a long way to go, but we ARE slowly getting closer. Don’t stop now! Don’t let this stay within the community, either, if you have any friends or family who are open to queer rights, get them to sign, too!

“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”
a stud in black leather on a black motorcycle just revved their engine at me and thank god I tore my demonic uterus out ages ago because I think that would have finally knocked me up
definitely the worst/funniest eye contact experience I ever had was about nine years ago, on a roof in a foreign country, too drunk to stand up and trapped in the company of a guy I’d fought in the street earlier that day
I was convinced he was going to instigate a rematch that I was too compromised to win, but also I was very unwell and unafraid to die, so I gave him a piece of my mind and rattled off a detailed list of everything I’d ever thought was wrong with him.
he didn’t reply—just stared me down, wordless, expressionless, cold unblinking eyes in the darkness.
a thought surfaced from the depths of my brain, washing ashore like a globster: this is exactly like wolves. this is a dominance display. a challenge. hold his gaze; do not break eye contact. keep your eyes open and relaxed to show that you are not concerned with his threat… too wide will show fear and submission, too narrow will suggest violence.
I held his gaze.
he moved forward, stalking towards me across the roof.
just like wolves, I thought.
he approached slowly, like he was moving underwater, or through a dream.
this is literally exactly like wolves, I thought.
he came closer.
wolves, my brain insisted.
closer still.
you’re handling this properly for sure.
uncomfortably close.
only when the tip of his nose was physically pressed against mine like fucking Marty McFly and his school principal did my brain finally admit that maybe, just maybe, this was NOT like wolves, and that maybe half-remembered dubious information I’d read in a kind of racist book about wolves once when I was nine years old was not applicable to my current situation.
then his lips pressed against mine and I realized that there are, in fact, other reasons adults make prolonged eye contact that really have nothing to do with wolf dominance displays.
actually you know what? it WAS a successful dominance display because when I didn’t kiss back and just kept terminator wolf staring he cringed and shrank back and was obviously chagrined about the whole thing and didn’t bother me again for weeks, so. #winning
yeah baby I can maintain direct eye contact. just like a wolf.
This sounds like a shitpost but people should be allowed to be horny. As in, sexuality is just part of life for most people and there’s no reason for consensual sexual behavior to be punished. A celebrity getting “caught” at a sex club shouldn’t be a scandal. No one should be fired for having a fetlife profile outside of work. Nudes getting leaked shouldn’t be career-ending. Denying and hiding (consensual) sexual interests doesn’t make anyone more professional, it just makes everyone more repressed. And sterilizing ourselves to be better work drones isn’t productive, it’s just creepy. I’d rather my surgeon get absolutely railed on camera and come to work in a good mood, frankly.
I know I just restating the point of that post but respecting religious freedom will sometimes require you to respect someone’s belief that religious beliefs are categorically untrue, and there are a lot of people who are unable to handle this, and even more people who think they agree with this but haven’t really grappled with what it means.
Something that a lot of religious folks don’t seem to realize the extent to which non-religious people, more than any other religious minority, are expected to walk on eggshells around other people’s beliefs at the expense of their own for the sake of social decorum, in a way which no one else is expected to do with theirs.
To name a bit of an example I have personal experience with. When I was mourning my cousin a couple years ago, I was constantly faced with the situation of people trying to comfort me from a religious perspective.
And whenever this topic comes up, the conversation is always about how “you have to be mindful of their intentions, they’re trying to reach out to you and comfort you in the way they know, they’re being nice, you have to appreciate the effort they’re making, you have to meet them where they’re at and appreciate their attempt to help you”. Which is what I did, of course. In this situation, replying to their attempt to comfort you with any reminder that you don’t believe in this stuff is considered a big social faux-pas that will make you look like an asshole. And to an extent I agree, it can be rude and needlessly combative.
But somethin I feel it’s conspicuously absent from any conversation surrounding this type of situation like. Any interrogation of *why* is going “sorry, I don’t believe in any of this, this means nothing to me” considered a bigger social faux-pas than trying to comfort a grieving person with religious beliefs you know they don’t hold.
Why, even when you’re literally grieving, the onus is on you as a non-religious person to be mindful of other’s worldviews and tread lightly and meet them where they’re at and not contradict what they believe in and never the other way around.

if i was a popular minecraft youtuber id just tweet “hey guys stop drawing shipping fanart of me and my friends/coworkers, i only fucked one of them and seeing me paired with anyone else is kinda weird and crosses my boundaries” and then i’d turn my phone off
“i am a monument to all your sins” is such a fucking raw line for a villain it’s amazing that it came from halo, a modernish video game, and not some classical text or mythos
classic texts have nothing on the crazy people come up with in modern times tbh
“I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.”
– Joshua Graham, Who Is A Fallout New Vegas NPC, Something Most People Throwing This Quote Around Don’t Realize
“If the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight like I always have.”
– Shadow the Hedgehog in what is widely considered one of if not the single worst game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise
this is the source for this text and it haunts me on a regular basis
“Pick a god and pray.”
-Fredrick from Fire Emblem Awakening
Huh, it’s almost like art isn’t just fine art…
this is my addition to this ever growing list of raw quotes originating from unexpected sources
also “you’re not brave, you’ve merely forgotten the fear of death. Allow me to reacquaint you.” Is the rawest line and it’s from dominus ghaul from destiny 2’s vanilla story when it first released.
How can we forget the quote that sums up this entire reblog chain:
Why do you people feel profound thought has to come from high places? The gutter looks at the stars too
“Spare me this mockery of justice!”
(A few minutes later, a with a different character)
“Silence! Or you shall be held in contempt of court!” “I have nothing *but* contempt for this court!”
The Transformers: The Movie (1986)
“For every kid that dreams up the electric lightbulb, there’s one who dreams up the atom bomb.” - Mr. Electric, The Adventures of Sharkboy And Lavagirl (2005).
“I like turtles!” - turtle kid
“If the sea were of ink and the sky parchment I could not begin to write my love for you.”
