predictions for the inevitable coronavirus biopic:

america is doing the exact same thing, “shipper girl.” china is not our enemy oh my god they didn’t fucking bring the virus over on purpose for gods sake

I’m so tired of westerners thinking China just fucking arrests ppl whenever they do anything. The doctor was never arrested. The doctor was rewarded for whistleblowing and they punished the local official that bungled the response. This accusation of jailing the whistleblower, coming from a country that literally jailed a trans woman whistleblower for blowing the whistle on American military shooting at civilians and journalists, is just pure fucking projection.

There are legitimate issues to talk about with Xi’s China. There were legitimate issues to talk about with Mao’s China, but Westerners always go for the Red Scare/Yellow Peril talking points and never actually look at the material reality.

Trans people don't need to disclose that they're trans to you before you date them but i definitely think cis people should start disclosing they're cis instead of just saying "im a girl/boy" cause dating a cis person is a commitment not everyone has the time for. Like buying a bird

Apparently people have taken this post to mean I hate cis people. I do, but thats not the point of this post

Elizabeth Warren absolutely murdering Michael Bloomberg over his appalling history with women during the Democratic debate

Think about why it’s illegal to hire a hit man.

All you’re really doing is speaking and giving someone money.

It’s legal to speak.

It’s legal to give someone money.

Even if they actually complete the job, you’re not the one who committed the murder.

So why is it illegal to hire a hit man?

Could it be because inciting violence is not protected under free speech?

And if that’s the case, why should free speech protect Nazis advocating genocide?

Never reblogged something harder in my life

gay is in fact the gender that i want people to percieve me as

i want people to look at me and go 'oh i have no idea what you are but you're definitely a homosexual'

A Jewish perspective on reproductive justice and birth control access from twitter user @lechatsavant.

IDK about other Jews, but I want all goyim who see this - especially American goyim from Christian backgrounds - feel free to keep this in your pocket the “freedom of religion” birth control argument comes up. In fact, I encourage you to use it. 

Teachers should let kids eat and drink in class, I have no idea why high school teachers act like tiny dictators of their pathetic kingdoms. Like, let them go to the bathroom, if they are hungry let them eat, if they are thirsty let them drink.

It shouldn’t really be so difficult.

Teaching children that their body doesn’t really belong to them and that for a set number of hours a day they must put all their own needs aside to do what somebody else tells them to is how children are drilled from their first day at school to accept the dictatorship of workplaces as adults.

Because kids drop a metric fuck ton of Cheetos on my floor and don’t pick them up so they get ground into cheeto dust and stain my floor orange and then the facility manager comes to me and threatens to pull the cost of cleaning the carpet from my already too small paycheck. I am not a tiny dictator of a pathetic kingdom, I am squandering through life in a failing socialist system in a capitalist economy.

Schools: don’t teach those skills anymore

Stuff: is made to not be repairable

Tools & Materials: are priced as a luxury

Working Hours: have expanded to take up a lot of people’s whole day and weekends

Wages: have stagnated so that everyone has to work full time

“News” media: Your dad is better at DIY than you, ya dick!

lets not forget:

Your parents: have never actually taught you any of those things either

Vintage on disability rights.

Don’t let the black and white trick you. The Capitol Crawl was in 1990. This is not ancient history.

This was in 1990.

The cure for fascism is… politically-motivated threats of brutal physical violence?

That’s literally fascism.

Yeah, remember how we defeated fascism in WW2 through polite conversation

“3 Defining Features of ADHD That Everyone Overlooks”

FINALLY, SOME GOOD QUALITY EXPLANATION OF WHY “I DONT LOOK LIKE I HAVE ADHD” BECAUSE ITS NOT REALLY CANT SIT STILL FOCUS NONE DISORDER ITS SOMETHING A WHOLE LOT MORE COMPLEX

Actually yeah. I just reblogged this silently without any acknowledgement of it, but this is hones to god one of the best explanations I’ve seen.

Yeah you can have only these symptoms, and people end up being diagnosed with just “depression” or “anxiety” and prescribed something that has little effect on the real cause of their problems.

Uh oh

well it seems obvious now.

There’s a lot of murderers on the West Coast.

I will reblog this literally every time it appears on my dash

Is this about Seattle’s recruitment dropping almost to 0 after the implementation of the living wage? Does anybody have a link?

YES! it is!

"Since the Army is not subject to local minimum wage laws, Seattle pay now outstrips what locals could earn by signing up for the Army. $15 per hour is not only more than the base pay for privates, but corporals and specialists as well."

-Newsweek

Fuck this article for trying to make me sympathize with the military complex tho. Boo-hoo, Sargent Bootlicker won't get Friday off for failing to sign up new recruits

Almost like the military preys upon impoverished populations 🤔

Do you know how many military members rely on food stamps? It’s absurd to see NCOs using WIC to buy baby formula. The military needs to pay a living wage, and not because they want to recruit poor people, because it’s the least you can do for someone willing to give their goddamn life to the fucking government, when all that government is going to do is use them until they have no more to offer physically and/or mentally and then spit them back out into the slums of some town they barely know.

Body language is completely unique to every single individual person and the science of body language is almost if not completely unreliable and if I have to listen to one more person claim they can “read” me by my body language I’m gonna flip.

MULTIPLE people in my life have told me they can “tell” I’m “self conscious” because I look at my feet when I walk and they say it like they want me to open up about some social insecurities, like I have some wall they’re about to break down and we’ll have a moment

And I tell them the same truth every single time:

As a kid we had two MASSIVE Holly trees in the backyard and my dad and my uncle, both well meaning but perhaps poor planners, said “yes a great place for a swing set is directly beneath those.”

So they built it there and the issue is that entire section of yard was a Minefield of dried Holly leaves with one final mission before they became dirt which was to Stab themselves into a child’s foot

And being that my siblings and I had some feral rage aversion to wearing shoes, we took to running to the swings on our tiptoes, staring at the ground for the leaves

And to this DAY I still look at the ground when I walk out of habit formed by a decade of that

And NO body language guide and NO BBC Sherlock wannabe would EVER source that

Not shy. Just fucking clumsy.

Truth Hurts

I just took a DNA test, turns out

I'm 100% depressed

Even when I'm laughing, smiling

Yeah I've got mental illness, that's

SWING SWING, but I hide it - that's

The anxiety
