“tumblr’s the only social media without algorithms!” “you can still be anonymous on tumblr!” “tumblr’s so nice because you don’t have to show your face!” WRONG tumblr is special because you can have 3000 followers and still get an average of seven likes a post. i’m doing stand up comedy at a packed venue and one person is laughing

June 4, 2025 - Dockers at a major French port on Wednesday refused to load a container with machine gun spare parts bound for Israel, saying they “will not take part in the ongoing genocide (in Gaza) orchestrated by the Israeli government,” according to broadcaster Franceinfo.
Dockers at the port of Marseille-Fos have set aside a container containing “spare parts for machine guns,” and they “will not load it onto the ship bound for Haifa” in Israel, the Gulf of Fos branch of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) announced in a statement.
The union confirmed that it was alerted by several networks that 19 pallets of Eurolink belts were to be shipped to Israel on Thursday. The Eurolink belts are spare parts for machine guns used by the Israeli army.
“The port of Marseille-Fos must not be used to supply the Israeli army. The dockworkers and port staff of the Gulf of Fos will not take part in the ongoing genocide orchestrated by the Israeli government. We stand for peace among people. We condemn all these armed conflicts that bring death, misery, and the displacement of populations,” it added. [link]/[link]
will personally never understand how tboys became the "always transmisogynistic" demographic when cis women are RIGHT THERE and way fucking worse in my experience. thats not to say they're all like that because biological essentialism is bad and ofc they arent but like. theyve got shit going on they dont even realize is transmisogyny
I think part of the reason a lot of cis women are transmisogynistic has to do with the fact that radical feminism has been absorbed so much into mainstream culture, it’s becoming more and more common for it to be considered baseline feminism for a lot of cis women. And cis women who have never even met or talked to a trans woman, decide that trans women don’t fit into their very narrow view of what a woman is. As a result they not only end up being transmisogynistic but generally misogynistic by reducing womanhood to a rigid, bio-essentialist or gender essentialist definition.
On the flip side, radical feminism is also the cause of the assumption that trans men are predisposed to misogyny because radical feminism defines men as an oppressor class across the board, and assumes that anyone with a man brain will absorb misogynistic mindsets and act misogynistically by virtue of being a man. Which completely falls apart when you think about marginalized men, cultural gender identities and multigendered. people for more than two seconds.
October 3, 1992: Sinead O’Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live singing an acapella cover of Bob Marley’s song “War”, changing some of the lyrics to include references to child abuse, and ending the performance by tearing up a photo of Pope John Paull II and saying “fight the real enemy”.
This ruined her career and she was telling the truth, as we all came to find out years later.
Please remember she didn’t consider it as a career ruiner.
To speak on how it “ruined” her career ignores her own feelings on it. Please acknowledge how she felt about it, instead of how you see it.
I really don’t know what to do with the fact that my teeth have been toothpaste flavored for over 24 hours despite much eating and no additional toothpaste. Like what’s even happening there. Perplexing.
Maybe your tongue is toothpaste flavored?
The rest of my mouth doesn’t taste like toothpaste though. Like it’s very clearly concentrated in the teeth.
For the record, it lasted for about 36 hours in total. Still no idea what that was about but okay
someone was brushing your teeth when you weren’t looking.
they should invent a bus that never gets stuck in traffic because it’s on its own path separated from the roads. and then chain multiple of them together and put it on rails. has anyone had this idea before.
Im learning that way too many of you have no regard for your own safety or the safety of your data and also that you would be found by bailifs in a day
No but really, pro tip. If you never ever respond to your name until you know who is on the phone, then anyone chasing debts cannot confirm that you are at that number.
Caller: “hello, can I speak to [name] / am I speaking with [name]?”
You: “I’d like to know who’s calling / who am I speaking with?”
Caller “this is [caller]”
You: “why do you need to speak with [name]?”
Don’t give them ANY information about you til you know who they are and why they’re calling. Even if you’re not in any financial trouble or have any debts this is real good practice
oooh this is good
Same with if they come to your door. I was served papers once, and the guy at the door was like, “Are you so and so?” and immediately slapped the papers into my arms the second I said yes.
