ww2 was a long time ago, before nuclear proliferation.

not to defend the couchfucker, but there really is very little any administration can do to fix this situation. we can like keep throwing weapons at ukraine until there are no more men left to hold them. but in a war of attrition, russia is not going to lose to ukraine here.

no nato member country, certainly no country with nuclear arms, and absolutely not the US can get directly involved in the conflict. it's the 'mutually assured destruction' doctrine. turns out when someone who doesn't care about international order gets onto that gameboard, they're untouchable. stopping them likely means tragedy on a scale our species has never seen.

Yale educated ex-Marine thinks America should capitulate to a much smaller and weaker Russia.

JD Vance knows how WWII ended. All the countries were liberated. France and England did not give land to Germany.

A reminder that this tumblr is not a safe place for any kind of bigotry.

You'll never be "too gay",

And be unapologetically queer 🏳️‍🌈

management tip : adults are basically children

not exclusively americans, but like, especially.

it gets me how many adults respond with 100% genuine deep-seated insecurity when you ask them to draw something. and when you respond positively to their drawing… they keep doing it

drinking barley tea for the first time and

OH my god

i remember early on when i was very non-passing and in a customer service role, customers would like every day ask to shorten my name to something more masculine.

Oh, Nicole? Are you sure? What about Nick, Nikki, Nico, Cole?

Man, names are a minefield, aren't they?

I'm looking at 80s girl names (for perfectly normal trans reasons) and it's like, the only ones of these that don't have baggage or ugly shortened versions (something I am highly sensitive to, for Deadname Reasons) are names that I have personal history with.

Like there's a whole set of great girl names that I would never feel comfortable using because I knew someone with that name, and I'd never be able to separate the name from the person.

I can't be Susan, she's Susan! I can't be Sarah or Sara because of the Sara(h)s I've known.

Man the animators really put their whole pussy into animating the final battle

God when the theme song came on it was seismic.

i myself am a person who will throw around dude/bro/man like i'm trying to bring surf back in style, but sometimes when i see people vehemently arguing that these terms are entirely gender neutral i do wanna gently take their hand like. okay but have you considered the societal and histortical reasons why masculine language and gender neutral language have so much overlap. can we acknoweldge how traditionally masculine terms are treated as a default and what that means. or are you gonna be weird about it.

actually this is a 19th century eastern turki depiction of what is now known as hatsune miku, a sort of music deity

“Snakes are attached to the ears of someone who eavesdropped at the door” – from a 19th-century Eastern Turki manuscript depicting punishment in the afterlife. More here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/punishment-in-the-afterlife-an-eastern-turki-manuscript

you wear full pants and a jacket when it's like 72?

i don't pull that shit out til we're in the 50s!

Hate when you dress for high 60s low 70s weather so like pants and a light jacket and then immediately are hit by hot building

what's the alternative to jerking off with one hand

even if you're long enough to warrant two hands, i feel like you're not really getting much out of the second

I do not ask this out of malice but what do you do when you're a genderfluid lesbian and you want to follow an lesbian nsft blog with men dni in their bio.. do u not interact with it at all if you're a guy at a particular day. What if you are bigender are you only allowed to interact with the blog within 12 hours. What if you're a wet slurry of every single gender identity ever but you're 50.1% of what most would consider to be a girl. Many things to consider
