Chaos. No I will not give you fae my pronouns. You can't have them

Fucking pisses me off when gay people and lesbians act as though trans people are going to force them to have sex with them.

Straight people did the same fucking rhetoric in the 2000s and 2010s, convinced every gay person wanted to fuck them against their will.

How fucking stupid are you?

They still do that shit, but trans people are an easier target.

Stop falling for propaganda.

Especially propaganda leveraged against your own community since time in memoriam.

"there are only two sexes, it's literally third grade biology!" and pronouns are taught in kindergarten and you dont seem to understand those either

ok its literally this

this is why, when someone tells me "there are only two sexes, it's basic biology!" my favorite response is to ask "what, you never made it to advanced biology?" like don't load the gun and then hand it to me lmao

you. yes. you get it

An important message to heterosexuals, listen carefully: you do not, and I repeat do NOT, have to marry someone you actively dislike, don't enjoy spending time with and/or whose hobbies you despise. You do not have to do that!! stop doing that!!!

"hahaha I hate my wife and made an entire room of the house dedicated to evading her company"

"hahaha I hate my husband and I drink industrial quantities of wine to cope with having had kids with him"

MAYBE STOP?

Hi. I’m sorry. But literally as I was reblogging this the lady being interviewed in the doc I’m watching said something like “oh ya know, it was normal girl talk stuff like all about how terrible husbands are.” And I. Yup.

When I casually mentioned watching something with my spouse to my massage therapist he was absolutely flabbergasted we do that together. Even more so when we would still hang out and watch even if we didn’t care for the show the other liked just so we could be together after a day apart.

Or how we’d play games together. Or how we shared a large portion of our friend group.

And I just.... how... how else do you live with the person you decided to build your life with?

I have seen a distressing amount of married folks who legitimately just.... don’t care for their spouses at all. Like, they tolerate them, at best.

It’s not even like these are old married couples, where things changed or the magic faded or they grew apart, but relatively young folks in their 20s and 30s and their relationships were like this before they even got married.

I just don’t see the point if you don’t even enjoy one another’s company.

In 1990, the high school dropout rate for Dolly Parton's hometown of Sevierville Tennessee was at 34% (Research shows that most kids make up their minds in fifth/sixth grade not to graduate). That year, all fifth and sixth graders from Sevierville were invited by Parton to attend an assembly at Dollywood. They were asked to pick a buddy, and if both students completed high school, Dolly Parton would personally hand them each a $500 check on their graduation day. As a result, the dropout rate for those classes fell to 6%, and has generally retained that average to this day.

Shortly after the success of The Buddy Program, Parton learned in dealing with teachers from the school district that problems in education often begin during first grade when kids are at different developmental levels. That year The Dollywood Foundation paid the salaries for additional teachers assistants in every first grade class for the next 2 years, under the agreement that if the program worked, the school system would effectively adopt and fund the program after the trial period.

During the same period, Parton founded the Imagination Library in 1995: The idea being that children from her rural hometown and low-income families often start school at a disadvantage and as a result, will be unfairly compared to their peers for the rest of their lives, effectively encouraging them not to pursue higher education. The objective of the Imagination library was that every child in Sevier County would receive one book, every month, mailed and addressed to the child, from the day they were born until the day they started kindergarten, 100% free of charge. What began as a hometown initiative now serves children in all 50 states, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, mailing thousands of free books to children around the world monthly.

On March 1, 2018 Parton donated her 100 millionth book at the Library of Congress: a copy of "Coat of Many Colors" dedicated to her father, who never learned to read or write.

Everything I learnt about Dolly Parton was against my will and it was an absolute delight every single time

white people please just purchase native artwork and jewelry from native people i keep seeing idiot white people be like “waaah i wish i could support native creators but its cultural appropriation” girl why would beaders sell you their earrings then. just dont get a medicine wheel or a thunderbird then like damn it is that easy

If Native folks are making it to sell to white people with the approval of their tribe, it’s not “appropriation”–its support and appreciation! So yes, buy that native-made dream catcher, but not the mass produced fakes made by white people. Like, you can go to a pow wow and buy native crafts there, too.

Welcome to the Protestant Work Ethic where if you are not working for 16 hours a day you are a Sinner that will Burn In Hell. Unless of course you are rich in which case you are Blessed by God and can go to Heaven without lifting a finger.

heard a story on a podcast that some Christian missionaries showed these rural Cambodian farmers how to double their crop yields. the missionaries came back a year later and were surprised the Cambodians had grown basically the same amount of crops but the farmers were like “yeah this is great, we got everything we need for the year and only had to do half as much work”

and if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the current North American work environment I don't know what will
