ten years of fighting and when shit hits the fan tumblr instantly has reddit's back. the greatest enemies to lovers story ever told.
you understand
Oops, my hand slipped–
cant even dm my friends anymore they immediately start roleplaying being medieval serfs
not making this up btw
You do it to yourself
Remembering the time my old nb roommate who went to an LGBT law conference and was heaping the absolute biggest bitchfit texting me cause “some cis guy” was talking about trans people and trans men in particular and my roommate refused to listen to what this guy said cause “why should I listen to him” and I said “are you sure he’s cis?” And then towards the end of the presentation he said something that indicated to the crowd he was a trans man and then suddenly my roommate started to consider what had been shared.
Absolute loser behavior, but not completely unique. We’ve all gotta stop saying only x people can talk about x issues for us to listen. Too many people in the in group will have dogshit takes no one wants to challenge because “well, they are x identity.” Likewise, plenty of people on the out group actually know what they’re talking about and have something to contribute to the conversation.
Especially when it comes to sexuality and gender, you relying on someone outing themselves or you clocking them to decide whether their words have merit is shitty, because you won’t always know if they ARE the group “allowed” to talk about it. And even beyond that, I knew a fuckload about transness before I realized I was trans, it helped me REALIZE I was trans. “Listen to x voices” got sooooo warped in the discourse.
So, just wanted to share that early modern pop-up astronomy books were a thing and they are absolutely glorious.
Here's a close-up of the little dragon-serpent guy, because he is especially magnificent.
Reading stuff by western leftists (esp USA ones) is annoying as hell coz first they say something that makes sense, like how education should be completely free or how every human deserves to have a home, and then they'd be like btw USSR was heaven, every bad thing about it was made up by the USA, also it only collapsed coz the USA financed the civil war Ir whatever happened . Listening to actual people from countries that were colonized by Russia? Nah, we're too privileged for that shit, also they're clearly brainwashed by USA. All of them. USA is the only cause of bad things in the world. No war but class war btw <3
@germanmilfs i live in a country that was a part of soviet union and people that lived in ussr are still alive you fucking tankie lunatic
for a person who wery unlikely was in at least one of those countries let alone lived in all of them you seem pretty confident in what you are saying
When the war just started my mom cried saying she would rather die than be forced to live in Soviet Union again.
The only ones who say life was better in the USSR are the ones who were so far up in the party it didn't fucking matter to them what was happening to the workers they claim to support and the USSR was just as corrupt if not more because it hypocritically had an upper crust population. Children reported their parents. Friends reported on friends. All for the sake of prestige in the party. Because that sounds like a great system! Anyone who didn't bark party lines at the drop of a hat was suspect.
I highly suggest the "Stories Our Ancestors Haven't Told" project. It is made up of interviews of people who were alive BEFORE the USSR had settled into the world and then AFTER the Fall of the Wall. The same people in charge of that project has also been recording interviews of people during the current war.
We record. We remember. We read more than the Communist Manifesto. Rich to say 'read a book' when it's clear the multitude of anti commie books hasn't so much as had a spine cracked. Don't say 'read a book' when we all know you only mean /A/ book. A singular book. One specific book. And absolutely nothing else.
"I know life was better under communism because I am a communist" isn't the gotcha you think it is.
haha nooooo don’t recreate puritanism under the guise of progressivism because you don’t have critical thinking skills like for realllll stopppp haha
funniest thing about the “reddit migration” is that I haven’t seen a single post shitting on anyone coming from Reddit. when twitter started bleeding users everyone was firing rent-lowering posts but with redditors skittering about we’ve left the doors open and put out food bowls
I miss you every day, Santa Clarita Diet.
[ID: A variation of the Squidward "I Really Wish I Weren't Here Right Now" button meme. The button pinned to Squidward's shirt reads: "Although insect phobias cannot always be helped, they should not be so normalized in our culture because this justifies irrational hatred and fear of an incredibly important group of animals that make up the majority of life on this planet, and continues to perpetuate an attitude that makes violence against and extinction of these essential and often harmless contributors to the ecosystem acceptable, and further propagates more insect phobias in individuals which then continues the cycle of misunderstanding and ecological violence".

I love how the complete absence of Steve’s parents has built them into these mythological figures. Like if they have the guts to ever show them I’m fully expecting Patrick Bateman and Debbie Jellinsky. They have to be Iconic. Dangerous. Rich. Nuts.
(guy experiencing the consequences of his actions) yeah i don’t know why these things keep happening to me i must be cursed or something
(guy who is cursed) yeah I'm sure all of these things that are happening to me are just the consequences of my actions
This belovéd weirdo
Unironically, this is why society would crumble without diversity
the r/curatedtumblr -> tumblr migration is so funny to me. it's like going to the zoo and enjoying it so much you climb into the enclosure to live with the monkeys
this reply evokes such an incredible image in the mind’s eye
The Internet seemed to really like the previews I posted of NYC bullying Spider-Man, so here is that episode in its entirety. Enjoy!
finally, someone who gets it
