Shout out to characters who want to be used. Shout out to characters who are so desperate to be worth something that they'll endure anything. Shout out to characters who build their entire self worth around being useful, being a tool. Shout out to characters who don't care how they are treated, as long as someone pays them any attention at all

Gosh I hate grind culture. My little sister just started medical school and all of her orientation leaders are like “you absolutely cannot have a life WHATsoever you WILL have to give up EVERYTHING besides this program say GOODBYE to your hobbies and relationships” and now she’s calling me feeling guilty for running and going to the grocery store and that’s just WRONG! And that is exactly what I was told starting law school as well, and rejecting that mentality was the best thing I ever did but it was so hard not to buy into. Anyway if any of you are in an intense academic program PLEASE take time to sleep and eat and exercise and maintain your relationships and keep up your hobbies! you are not a robot who exists solely to study and I promise that living a life and staying physically and mentally healthy is not going to make you fail

"intellectual property" is a scam from the ownership class to convince people they have to pay for ideas that would have been considered a free part of cultural consciousness not even 150 years ago.

Abolishing copyright would unironically free more people to do creative endeavors, free from the fear of getting slapped with a hundred spurious lawsuits just for having an idea.

In my opinion, it goes hand in hand with the idea that society at large should be providing for the needs of everyone, so that people can thrive without undue suffering because of the motives behind profit extraction. But then again, I'm one of those overly idealistic leftists who thinks that since nobody ever asked to be born, and that inherently means that nobody (and i do mean nobody, ever. full stop.) should ever be made to suffer, especially now that we have ways to feed, clothe, house, educate, and care for literally everyone on the planet, and the only reason that ISN'T happening is due to greed.

So would you prefer our wedding be in the Fall, Winter, or Spring, I won't do summer because I hate heat unless the venue is air conditioned but I'm flexible.

it’s wild how tech literacy lasted like one generation barely before it fell off

There are some characters where giving them therapy and cleaning them up is the fanfiction equivalent of buying antique furniture and painting it white

I am so fucking tired of people who think a 17-year-old having consensual sex is the same as a seven-year-old being sexually abused.

Words have actual meanings.

It's spreading beyond just fandom anti bullshit, too. I was listening to a history podcast recently where the host said an 18th century historical figure was "a pedophile" because he, at age 20, courted a 16-year-old.

Also to be clear if you put the new Harry Potter show on my dashboard I will be unfollowing and probably blocking you. JK Rowling is responsible for the death and pain of too many trans people to count in my country and I cannot tolerate her new way of trying to gain cultural and financial power in any way shape or form.

Happy Stitch Day, everyone donate to the NICWA out of apology that we let the reboot gain any kind of traction

The National Indian Child Welfare Association is an organization working to protect indigenous children and families through education and advocacy on child welfare and kinship rights. Nobody gets left behind.

Reminder that the label NSFW (or versions like nsft) is not a moral judgment. "Not safe for work" literally means "if your boss glanced over and saw this on your phone or computer screen, you could get penalized or fired." That's why nudity is labeled as NSFW because even if nude bodies aren't inherently sexual, your boss probably still wouldn't be thrilled to see naked people on your screen.

The transmasculine experience of growing up having your interests mocked and belittled as “stupid girl things” and then transitioning and continuing to have your interests mocked and belittled as “stupid transmasc tboy theyfab things” but like people somehow think they’re being woke about it this time.

“Big Pharma” okay are we talking about how privatization and monetization has deeply corrupted the field of medicine or are you talking about how you think chemicals in the water are making the frogs gay

It will get cold again eventually. The summer will not last forever. I’m not doomed to live in this unbearable heat for all eternity. <- said while gripping the countertop so hard that the tile is starting to crack
