due to systemic oppression, usamerican leftists don't currently have the political power to instate a leftist president. we do, however, have enough power to make one of two candidates lose the election. we could use this power to make the white supremacist lose to the black woman, or we could use it to make the black woman lose to the white supremacist. the obvious choice for leftists would be to prioritize making the white supremacist lose, but tumblr users have devised a loop hole, where they agitate primarily for making the black woman lose, but omit the detail about who she would be losing to. this makes their stance more palatable to people who correctly believe that having a white supremacist president would be the worst possible outcome.

I wonder how many of the people from 2012 era tumblr that touted the “women don’t want burly macho men, women want flynn rider or milo atlanis or roger 101 dalmations or that waifish guy from paperman!!” still feel that way. Cause all the women I know now prefer burly, fat, & hairy men with huge tits, and when I say women I’m including the lesbians

laughing at the thought of this dumb headcanon idea

The reason Animorphs works as a deconstruction of the kid hero archetype is that it comes at it from a place of respect for the genre, and for the children reading it.

It never denies the kids agency, because it is a book for children, who want to read about children being given agency. Animorphs doesn't treat its child soldiers as victims the way a story aimed at adults would. They are full agents within the story who make moral choices. The fact that they are children is treated as a tragedy, but it's not treated as something that absolves them of any responsibility.

It plays by the rules. These kids are the only people who can save the world. They cannot trust the adults in their lives. It just takes that story—the story it's telling—seriously.

The message of animorphs isn't actually of "isn't it fucked up that this book I read when I was a kid sent a twelve year old on an adventure" it just uses its take on the kid hero genre to get across the actual message, which is War Is Hell

'ford doesn't know about 9/11' Ford left earth in 1982. Ford doesn't know the cold war fucking ended.

I think its really funny when people get mad at the pro-hairy pussy posts on this site (yes including posts hating on bald pussy) and take an angle of “wow everyone is being so weird about shaving now and its so wrong to judge peoples choices like this” because like. Okay. Either you dont fuck or go outside, or you have been doing whats expected of you so long you have no idea how people who dont make the same choice as you are mistreated. Because so many people ESPECIALLY MEN are still convinced simply having body hair is unhygienic and will shame and dehumanize anyone who has it in the most vile and unnecessary way. Like youre seeing so many of these vehement bush or die posts BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PUSHING BACK AGAINST THAT NOTION its not happening in a vacuum but once again tumblr users are out of touch with what actually happens on planet earth

If you like shaving: congrats, there are millions of people who would not accept you any other way

Sick of the very obvious pattern on this website where people will rb nebulous “free Palestine!!” posts then proceed to ignore fundraisers, start discourse about the fundraisers being scams, pretend like seeing fundraisers on their dash is the most inconvenient thing to have ever happened to them. Like . Not that it shouldn’t be obvious, but it’s extremely suspect when you’re all for the concept of Palestinian liberation but then act like it’s an impossible request when you’re asked to apply that into tangible effort to help struggling Palestinian families evacuate and afford literal basics you take for granted

Hello, how are you my friend? I am Doaa from Gaza 🇵🇸🍉. I used to work in Palestinian hand embroidery. My workshop was destroyed during the war. Now I have been in Egypt for four months and you helped me collect the price of the sewing machine, and I am sorry and embarrassed that I will ask for help and donations again so that I can rent a small workshop, prepare it for work, and start my work again. You can read my bio in my account. I trust in your support and love for us. please help. A little for you is a lot for me. Help me so that I can support my child and my family. My account has been verified by @90-gost, thank you. Sorry for the circumstances that made us ask for help from others, but unfortunately we only have to have you by our side ❤️❤️ https://gofund.me/9e4024a3

Did Bartolomeo actually eat a guy. Like, I wouldn't be surprised necessarily, but he also strikes me as the sort of guy who'd pretend to eat human flesh just to be an edgelord and gross people out

[pom-corner]

never mind the fact that claiming all palestinian fundraisers are scams is like an insanely racist thing to do, i'm filled w so much resentment that these people genuinely refuse to admit the utter harm that resulted directly from propagating this rhetoric. it's insane how many asks i get on a daily basis of people questioning the validity of the palestinians who're hard at work verifying these fundraisers so whole families can get the chance to live. not that the people who're so quick to question it actually wanted to help to begin with, but is this the kind of environment we want to normalize on this website. baselessly attacking people who're being firsthand affected by a genocide . is this really the hill we want to die on. it's actually shameful

The dressrossa arc is long but worth it to watch Luffy beat up Doflamingo while looking and sounding like a giant dodgeball

One Piece has really made me appreciate how fucking good and necessary a wide age range is for an ensemble cast.

If it was a crew of 10 teenagers we’d have run out of ways to switch up character dynamics a long time ago. Things would feel same-y and far less charming than what we have now, which is a crew consisting of five way-too-ambitious dudes in their late teens and early twenties, a fifteen year old who everyone treats like a baby cause he still has a spark in his eyes, two criminals in their early-to-mid 30s who despite being more mature still let the teens do whatever they want for their own joy and entertainment, a dude in his mid-40s who doesn’t realize that quitting his current job to go on a world tour with a 19 year old he just met ABSOLUTELY counts as a midlife crisis, and an old man so old he DIED. I love you Strawhat Pirates.
