The thing about kink discourse: No matter what the kink is, at the end of the day, you're getting mad at adults playing pretend

MILDRED?????

you don't understand just how monumentally stupid shooting that Australian reporter with a rubber bullet live on tv was. That reporter works for Channel Nine which is, I would argue, Australia's most conservative free to air tv channel. And keep in mind that most people in Australia don't have cable. It is owned by the Packer family, the gambling tycoons who own Crown Casinos and are friends of the Murdoch family. More specifically, James Packer and Lachlan Murdoch are friends and have done business deals together in the past (to not a great success). Americans might be more familiar with Lachlan's work overseeing Fox News for the past decade or so.

Up until that shot was fired, that reporter was giving the mildest of reporting. The bare bones of what was physically happening on the ground without the context needed to understand why the protesters were there in the first place. It was designed to look unbiased whilst leading people to side with the cops. And then you shot her in the leg.

the weird schrödinger's emotion that is "that character death was narratively satisfying and emotionally impactful and ultimately the best way to handle their character arc" simultaneously with "noooo but I wanted them to live :( :( :("

Being a weird little girl as a kid provides two options to you: becoming transgender or becoming a weird adult woman. Both of which are things the world needs more of

What the “haha millennials can’t even make phone calls” crowd fails to appreciate is that making phone calls is a far more user-hostile and physically uncomfortable experience than it was 15-20 years ago.

personally I don't think if you're a kid you should be using your real name on the internet. very easy for people to find out too much about you. instead you should spend years using a different made-up name that becomes part of your persona to an arguably even greater degree than your actual name and then when you grow up and find out you're trans you have a ready-made name to switch to even if it's probably like Leaf or something

My mom kept complaining that all of a sudden the Beatles are back and they're fucking everywhere and they're so obnoxious and were practically having an orgy in her garden under a cucumber leaf and that's when I realized she meant spotted cucumber beetles and not Paul McCartney
