In Nebraska it’s illegal to talk about the ocean
i showed this to my dad and he said “nebraskans should stay in nebraska because the culture shock of talking to people who know what the ocean is would kill them instantly” and im not over it
“dont smoke around your pets” okay well i dont even smoke im asthmatic. my dog smokes bc she needs to fucking chill sometimes and Yeah i light them for her Obviously bc she cant use a lighter. i dont get anyrhing out of this arrangment and i resent the implication. in fact shes giving ME secondhand smoke. so my question is why are you so hateful and jugemental and acting like an asshole to me making presumptions and shit about my life.
Happy pride!! Remember that Gazans – and Palestinians in the West Bank – are being slaughtered every single day by israel, but that Israel will use this month to try and pinkwash their reputation. Do not let them.
Reminder that Israel claims to be suuuuuuuper LGBT+ friendly, unlike those “”“barbaric palestinians”“” — but if youre a gay in israel, you still can’t even get married to your partner, because all marriages in israel are regulated by religious courts, and none of them recognise same sex unions.
Reminder that Queering the Map has a bunch of entries from queer people in Gaza, one of which is a message to their deceased partner, where they say if they had known that israeli bombs would one day kill their partner, they would have spent the time they had together telling the whole world how much they loved them, and they’re sorry they didn’t.
Do not let Israel con you into thinking that they’re some kind of queer oasis in the middle of the hostile desert of the middle east. Do not let Israel con you into thinking they give a shit about anything other than their own military might. They will feed hets and queers and adults and children alike into a woodchipper if it meant stealing so much as a single extra inch of Palestinian land.
Happy pride, keep your eyes on Rafah. Keep your hearts with the innocent civilians that Israel is slaughtering. Keep your voices on the topic of Palestine.
A woman went viral for being turned down for a next interview for a role, she asks the recruiter what she did wrong, the recruiter tells her they were “concerned about her lack of effort in her appearance.”
She explains she wore a freshly ironed blazer with a collared top. Her nails were painted a professional beige. She got a blowout for her hair, so a professional style. She had on subdued gold earrings.
The only thing she wasn’t wearing was makeup; she states she really doesn’t wear makeup, and only had chapstick on, as her skin is sensitive. Her lawyer mother has already explained she has no legal case against the company for any type of gender-based discrimination.
Just in case anyone wants to ask why feminists still refer to the “pink tax” or rail against more and more elaborate makeup trends being pushed on girls and women.
Women being punished socially for not wearing makeup is still a feminist issue.
Little girls being taught by TikTok at 10 and 12 that they have to have a “beat face” or a “snatched body” to be adequately feminine will go on to become recruiters and HR employees and managers in a decade.
We already know that women who don’t wear makeup are discriminated against in interviews. The next generation of interviewers were raised by Sephora and Ulta; it’s going to get worse, not better, unless there’s a concentrated campaign on breaking the connection between makeup+professionalism.
As a mass comm major, IF THERE IS SOMETHING UNJUST OR IMMORAL BEING DONE CALL YOUR LOCAL NEWS STATION THEY WILL HELP MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE
Cities and government agencies HATE bad press. This story that was told to me by the journalist that covered this, and he showed us the piece:
There was a traffic light that was set up on the far side of an overpass, but it was improperly hung so you couldn’t see the light until it was too late. There were accidents there EVERY SINGLE DAY and calls to the city did NOTHING.
Someone had the idea to call the local news station and this dude went out to see. As he was interviewing someone, there was a wreck.
Guess what happened after that piece aired?
Suddenly the city had the time to lower the traffic light and the accidents stopped.
Journalists get a bad rep, and while big stations like Fox deserve it, I think more thought should be given to who you’re actually shitting on when you say “I hate journalists.” Because we’re overworked, underpaid, constantly shit on, but we still do the job because we want to help people. All professional, prestigious journalists that I’ve met hate the government and will do whatever they can to get the information and change that’s needed. Being a journalist is a dangerous profession: at every professional convention I’ve been at there’s a fund for the families of journalists that have been killed (there’s a lot!) and a long memoriam roll.
Here’s to all the shockingly single bachelor uncles or the two very close friends who just happened to be girls and are only living together until one of them finds a man (they lived together for forty two years).
not to be earnest and sincere but using this site really is starting to feel like a genuinely unique and enjoyable experience compared to most other social media apps and how they operate now. and i think all of the cringe i used to feel at still being on tumblr after all these years is turning into unabashed fondness for the people and the environment on here
as a completely cis dude, I would press this button immediately, without question. There are a lot of things I would do for money, but shit I’d do this for like 20 bucks… maybe less?
She said with all too much confidence
A DAY!?!?!?
I cannot stress to you how hard this post broke containment. There are like 600 people that decided to follow me over the course of a day and now there are so many people sending me love and support in my inbox that I’m having a really hard time responding to all of them. Every time I look away from my notifs, I look back, and I have like 99+ new notifs like wtf!
very common problem with the idea of an “artist discord” is that the optimal number of active participants in a fully art-focused community isn’t a triple digit number, but like… 12. anything past that and people either start fighting for attention or clam up and don’t have smalltalk ime
my rule of thumb here is that if it’s a number of people that would make going into a small cafe off-putting, it’s a number of people that would turn an art-focused space into a socialisation-focused space (or in the worst case scenario, make a portion of the community interact with it as a popularity contest)
crucially, if it’s a place where people start keeping track of how many emoji reactions their sketches get and caring a lot about that, you’ve passed an event horizon
so a trans girl can’t post a fully clothed pic much less a nude without fear of getting banned because the advertisers, but THIS
THIS AD WITH A DILDO AND A JERKOFF MACHINE IS WHATS SPONSORING TUMBLR?
so- let’s really break this down.
You ban porn. You ban trans girls because they’re not “good for advertisers”
But you advertise… sex toys…
I. Fucking.. WHAT
@staff@humans you have some fucking explaining to do.
Spread this shit like wildfire. People need to know what a fucking dumpster fire this hellsite is. And the ones in charge need to be reminded, we aren’t going to keep getting pushed around.
I just want to add to this: the amount of fucking “THIS AI CAN GENERATE PORN IMAGES!!” ads I’ve gotten on Tumblr is ridiculous actually. To say nothing of all the mobile game ads involving sexually assaulting a woman.
So it’s not okay for us (especially trans women) to post even moderately sexual content. But they are as shit don’t mind using it to get money themselves!
What I love about this is seeing that he’s clearly a hockey skater. Now, I don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to cold slippy antics, but what I notice is different between hockey skaters and nearly all other skaters is that hockey skaters essentially run on the ice. Any other skater is trying to glide, perform, or be otherwise smooth. Create a new type of mobility, but on ice. But hockey skaters? The floor is slippery but that’s why they’ve got knives on their feet, so it’s running time. Run run run run.
So this is like playing tag on ice, except the one guy you’re trying to get is magically not on ice. And I think that’s pretty neat.
He’s also making really good use of the stoppers on the front of his skates. You can clearly see several times that when he starts juking and running he’s not actually running with the wheels in contact with the ground – he’s tipped forward to run on the rubber stoppers, which will give him more traction on the slippery surface. He can change direction faster because none of his kinetic energy is going into countering the inertia of spinning wheels.
I don’t know if the picks on the front of ice skates are used similarly (because ice hockey is not so much of a national pastime in Australia) but I wouldn’t be surprised. But I spent a bit of time with a roller derby team, and I recognised that particular stopper run :)
I hate you forced random pairings at the last minute, I hate you love at first sight, I hate you “they’re obviously more than friends”, I hate you pity for single people, I hate you virgin jokes, I hate you amatonormative/allonormative media
