tumblr is good because one post will be a paragraphs-long heartfelt analysis that makes me feel a glimmer of shrimp emotion. then the next will be the worst possible string of words together I have ever had the misfortune of seeing with mine eyes
you came back wrong and i am racked with guilt because i cannot bear to see you like this and i should have let you rest. i loved you so much that i defied death itself but i do not think either of us are happy
this is what microwaving leftover pizza feels like
stop it i was trying to be gothic

How does it feel to be the most correct person to have ever drawn breath on planet earth?
Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bulletsโ rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.
Despite being called โnon-lethalโ or sometimes โless lethalโ, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.
Hereโs a photo showing their sizeโ these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.
EDIT: Twitter banned @/nosferatusexgod, the student shot, whose tweet I linked to (as a primary source) at the top of the post. Screenshots of the tweet I originally linked to can be found here.
Maybe thereโs another Joanna-adjacent who could stand to learn from thisโฆ
I cant believe this tweet is how I find out
now all the things you guys have told me about american high schools are starting to make sense
โIf a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to โeat like growing boys,โ while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between themโฆ Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like โMen are stronger than women.โ We should be asking: โWhich men?โ and โWhat do they do?โ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.โ

Yes.
Here, have a study (x) showing that mothers underestimate their daughterโs physical capacity from as young as 11 months old (though in reality itโs identical to that of their sonโs at the same age). And if you think that parents acting on those expectations wonโt alter their childrenโs development, then I have a sloped bridge to sell you.
i was cuddling with my boyfriend last night when his shoulder started tensing up (like he was readjusting or gently pushing me off) and when i asked him if he was okay or needed me to move or something he went โno youโre fine, i was just imagining myself pulling a large rope. i didnโt even realize my shoulder was doing that lmaoโ then refused to elaborate and i have never been as attracted to him as i was in that moment.
i think i have couvid
bonus i forgot to add earlier
with this having officially breached containment i hope everyone who tags this as a ship knows i will and am judging whether your choice fits us or not
i don't know man, i just wish that we could [suddenly realising i'm coming dangerously close to expressing a real and earnest thought instead of filtering everything through several layers of intangible running bits] blow up the entire world. or something.
