The uswnt have won half of all women's world cups played. Only 4 teams have won ever. Unless Japan take this, a new team will be champions; that's what this Is all about. That's what the uswnt players have been fighting for: growing the women's game and and it is clear that it is. We have generations of world cups to come and this is just the beginning for everyone and I can't wait ⚡️

Very very proud of Nigeria, they played amazing.

being an england fan is just a lifetime of disappointment

that sounds so funny coming from fans of the current european champion, like you won last year, and the men made it to the final (that’s also a lot of winning)

I know everyone says it’s best to just stick to “said” as a dialogue tag bc it disappears and that’s true and I mostly do but I want to take a moment for my all-time favorite dialogue tag, “lied.” Absolutely nothing hits like “‘I’m here to help,’ he lied.” NOTHING.

ABSOLUTELY one of my favourites.

If you had to get a tattoo from the last show you watched, what would it be?

Nigeria starting out so well. Let's go girlies😍 Beat England

Not knowing that you have a villain inside you, a hero, and a bystander is a lesson that everyone should learn.

What is the quote from Jingo, by Sir Terry Pratchett, to the effect of "when someone does something terrible, we want it to be one of Them, because if it isn't Them, then it is Us?"

“It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn’t then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do the bad things.”

I love the idea of Spock being super queer, highly expressive and very emotional from a Vulcan view point. Like...

What Vulcans see:

i love how this implies that gritty is how vulcans see jim

Biology classes need to teach about intersex people and people with chromosome variations . ‘But it’s too advanced for basic stuff’ I don’t care. Our existance should be recognized. If we have to learn about our variations when we get diagnosed I promise people can handle learning of at least our existance

Once again, I am BEGGING people to realize that tumblr tags are a filing system and not a visibility metric.

One does not come to tumblr to tag-spam for notes and get popular. There is no algorithm here. There is no monetization here. There are no influencers here.

This is where every other social media system comes to die. And we cackle and roast marshmallows on the pyre like the gremlins we are.

If you tag-spam to get your post seen by as many people as possible you are actually getting blocked by a bunch of people pissed off that you shoved an unrelated post into a tag they were looking through for relevant content. You also are going to be reported by people for spam. Because you are spamming.
