It may be to the point, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve

The Owner Boss class in a vat of the chemicals they are allowing to kill your children.

Or something like that.

tbh it seems like they want us to bring it back

I would prefer to support people who aren't antisemitic or homophobic, who don't support terrorists. But what I really want to do is say that I don't support genocide even is I disagree with them.

Like, the complication of ownership of that chunk of land in the middle east isn't something I can't weigh in on. But "feeding children" and "ensuring people have medical care" send less complex

Antiochians being like "no, I actually will do this and you can't stop me"

i learned that the Twilight Zone was created after Rod Serling’s teleplay inspired by Emmett Till’s murder was heavily censored by networks and advertisers. The censorship led Serling to rethink his approach and delve into the era’s social issues through a filter of science fiction and fantasy (x)

You shouldn't have to have a child before you are emotionally ready. Poverty shouldn't be a precluded condition. All people should be encouraged to take parenting and child/human development classes regardless of parental status because small humans are still people and a part of our community.

"there should be some kind of test you have to take before having kids" -> wrong, extremely dangerous and highkey eugenicist and racist "the youth should have safe and effective legal pathways at their disposal to make sure their human rights are constantly protected and upheld" -> based, centers the youth, gives minors more power to fight inequality and does not reinforce the idea that parents are immune to scrutiny from their kids

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my family and how I was treated as a child, and honestly, my father has never seemed more amazing in my eyes.

I used to love Luigi(Mario's brother) when I was little. Like, he was my favorite character ever, and I had multiple plushies of him. Didn't give a fuck about Mario, vaguely tolerated Peach, but I loved Luigi.

On my first day of kindergarten, my dad gave me the number for his work phone and said it was Luigi's phone number. "If anything happens at school, call Luigi."And not even twenty minutes into my first day, I was having a panic attack. So I went down to the principal's office and called "Luigi."

Now, at the time, my father was in a meeting with his manager and his supervisor, along with most of his coworkers. And when I called, he picked up before he even left the room.

And he put on a very awful Italian accent and said, "Itsa me, Luigi! Whatsa the matter?"In front of his boss and coworkers. Without telling them what was going on. So they were absolutely bewildered, and he carried on like they didn't even exist. He only explained what was happening after I had calmed down and hung up, to which most of them responded with "Aww, cute."

I continued to call him whenever I got upset at school, and eventually his coworkers got in on it. I distinctly remember one of them impersonating Toad. I don't know why I'm telling you this, I just thought it might make you smile :)

this is so delightful I love your Luigi dad

Got a new hair cut. Also a perm. Had a delightful older Black woman who stayed later to do it (I dunno if she drew the short straw or volunteered, but I always tip minimum 25% especially at Penney's so it's a toss up) and I will hope for her in the future. My hair looks exactly like I wanted it to.

She was listening to a book on her earbuds while she worked, happily told me about it and recommended Libby and a few work arounds she had found to cut wait times, and answered my probably annoyingly white questions about the "hood rat" genre she was listening to.

Then as I was walking out they were putting out some super markdown "open package" underwear for dudes (you know, the original pack had 5 but it's missing one so instead of $49 it's $5) and it had spouse's size so that was great.

Now I'm less than eagerly awaiting APS because my BIL called them to spite us for filing a protective order, and we are overdue the next "surprise inspections"

Anyway adulting remains an unending list of surprises that sadly still doesn't involve nearly as much quicksand or Russian spies as I was led to expect.

I can never leave Tumblr because after years of sporadic therapy utterly failed to even approach the core of my problem some random tumblr user was like “I processed my trauma by writing a 10,000 word work of filthy fanfic erotica” and I was like “fuck it I’ve tried everything else” and now I’m 17 chapters and 20,000 words deep into an unpublishable work of obscenity and after careful literary analysis with one of the Beloved Mutuals I have come to some Terrible Revelations about my childhood and may now continue the process of Healing. Where else am I supposed to get this kind of experience. Who does this. Why are we like this. I’m never leaving. I love y’all.

Excuse you, that non-binary bow option is called a villain mustache.

The masculine connotation of a bow tie and the feminine connotation of a bow on the top of the head implies a nonbinary bow style placed directly over the nose

if you are a long term user of tumblr.com and you make "the beatles are ugly" jokes, i'm sorry but i can't take you seriously. as a lesbian who was forced to endure the deluge of gifs of every new white skinny british guy deemed a tumblr sexyman, i simply do not see the difference between the beatles and dan and phil, or matt smith, or benedict cumberbatch, or the onceler, or the fucking triangle from gravity falls. genuinely, if you ever found sherlock hot, you absolutely have no right to judge your grandma for wanting to fuck paul mccartney.

I wasn’t crazy about this piece so I wasn’t intending on publicly posting it again, but it keeps getting stolen every five minutes so I figured I’d put it here so people at least know who to attribute the original thing to lmao

YouTube censored the word scrotum in a TaskMaster episode and it made me SO ANGRY.

It's the correct words! The medically correct biological word. I get you putting a censor over the actual thing, but it's the medically correct word jdc

It seems like the older I get, the more irrationally angry casual censorship makes me. And it isn't just the "unalive" "grape" alleged filter-dodging vernacular, but the way normal words will be peppered with asterisks, or screenshots will have words like "gay" "hell" "fuck" etc either partially or entirely blurred. Who is this helping? What is the purpose of it, except to reinforce shame and elevate a flimsy perception of purity and safety, however those things manifest. It's so tiresome and I'm sick of it.
