each year congress people should be required to go on a field trip where they each get dumped in the middle of a random u.s. town & handed a phone with google maps & forced to find their way back to washington solely through the use of local public transportation systems.

to be clear i don't think this would improve our political reality in any way, but it would be fun to watch

haven’t stopped thinking about how trump seeing Les Mis and trump summoning the national guard to beat up and arrest LA protestors happened in the same week. his reading comprehension and media literacy are low in ways hitherto undreamt of.

rant incoming. i hate the "hims" and "hers" advertisements so much. not only is it needlessly gendered and therefore transphobic but it perpetuates a type of misogyny that i swore went extinct in 2003.

all the "hims" advertisements are like "you're a big, strong man!! you have nothing to be ashamed of!! you're flawless and we at hims are going to help you get HARD and you're going to have awesome SEX with your HOT WIFE who btw loves you even WITH your erectile dysfunction!! GO MEN!!!!"

and then all the "hers" advertisements are like "hey :) do you want to be skinny? :) do you want to stop being an ugly fat bitch? :)"

slightly off topic but advertising weight loss drugs should be a federal crime especially on sites that largely cater to teenagers <3

A witch puts a spell on a girl, a sleeping spell that promises the girl shall wake through true love’s kiss. Men come and kiss her. She slumbers. Women come and press their lips to hers, but still she sleeps. Many years past, and the girl remains still. One bright morning,  a lost little boy finds her resting spot and clears the dust and grime from her face. He offers her a kiss on her forehead, and her eyes flutter open. She never feels romantic love for a man nor a woman, and she cares for the boy until the day she dies.

A young woman is imprisoned in a castle by a monstrously formed prince. The servants of the castle hope for them to fall in love, and when the spell is broken they assume their prayers have been answered. They are all surprised, but nonetheless pleased, when it is revealed to them that the young woman and prince are the truest of friends, and nothing more.

They say the kingdom is ruled by an evil queen, a woman who is incapable of loving. She is unmarried, she has no consorts, and she wishes for no partner. She is the wretched queen, the heartless queen. She must hate her daughter, for her daughter is beautiful, and women are incapable of liking another woman who’s prettier than themselves. It must be for this reason that the princess was sent away, not for how she was attacked by a man in the woods. They say the kingdom is ruled by an evil queen because she cannot love. The queen loves her daughter, and that is enough for them both.

There lives a prince who is forced to choose a bride at the ball. He meets many beautiful women, but find none which he loves. He spies one in a gorgeous gown and wonder in her eyes, and he dances with her all night long. The kingdom is sure he has found his bride. When the clock strikes midnight he tells her how he will never love a woman, or a man, in the way he is expected to. The beautiful woman smiles and tells him she expects nothing from him. The next morning the prince and the beautiful woman are missing, having run off together to see the world. They leave their shoes behind in their haste.

Many kinds of love exist. It doesn’t all have to be romantic.
