crazy that in the 1970s they were like, "fine, women can play sports. but because they're innately less athletic than men, only in a special ghettoized League For The Frail And Delicate where they get paid less 😊". And not only is that still the system in 2023, but viciously lashing out at the smallest challenges to that system gets framed as Feminist Praxis

even setting aside the fact that gendered bodytype averages aren't universals, and plenty of individual (cis) women and (cis) men could easily go to toe to toe. have we considered that the fact that all the most prominent and well-paid sports are ones that require things like Being Tall and Having Muscle Mass, as opposed to, ex, gymnastics...is itself an artifact of sexism

also to people who are like "well do you think WOMEN should be playing AMERICAN FOOTBALL against MEN" actually I don't think anyone should be playing american football on account of, you know, the irreversible brain damage.

you can't really place all the blame for bad female character design on artists because a lot of that comes from higher up the chain of command, which is something I learned the hard way when a client had me draw breasts and eyelashes on a wasp so that it was obvious she's a girl wasp

Op I'm so sorry but I had to immortalise the vision this post gave me

I can't post the actual art here but it's actually uncanny how close the second image is to what it looked like

"the education system traumatizes students it deems stupid" and "the education system traumatizes students it deems gifted" are two concepts that can and should coexist.

I think I've got a compromise

saw this on twitter

being a funnyman is so hard. every day. every day beautiful men come to my house and beg me to fuck them  because im a funnyman. “please, clown, fuck us” they say. and i have to say no. because i hate gay people

all ao3 jokes aside, let’s all give thanks to the wonderful volunteers that are working hard to get the site back up and running so that homebodies like us don’t become stir crazy.

HELP WHILE Ao3 IS DOWN SOME PEOPLE ARE POSTING FICS IN THE DOWNDETECTOR COMMENTS 😭😭😭

I’M SCREAMING

Even Weird Al has had that™ experience with Tony Hawk

Tony Hawk IS Forrest Gump

So I looked up why and how this happened, and it turns out Weird Al hired a company called Birdhouse Skateboards to provide some “skate/punk” extras for the video. Birdhouse Skateboards is a company started by Tony Hawk, so not only did Weird Al end up putting Tony Hawk in his video without realizing it, he actually hired Tony Hawk’s company without realizing it! And then Tony Hawk just decided to go along as one of the extras himself.

BTW, he’d already won like 40 contests already, some of them international skateboarding contests. So it’s not like Weird Al cast some unknown skateboarder who ended up becoming World Famous Skateboarder, he was already well known and was running his own Skateboarding company.

Think of it this way. This wasn’t ‘Weird Al got Tony Hawk to be in his video’, this was ‘Tony Hawk found a way to be in a Weird Al Video.’

The chance that Tony Hawk has infiltrated your location or piece of media is low

BUT NEVER ZERO.

I love that the minute AO3 goes down everyone collectively flocks to this website to ask the same question with varying levels of insanity attached

In the middle of a fanfic and this shit happens

The world hates me

Queer music is impossible to define because we are not a monolith and we all have our own tastes and styles but it sure is not harry styles and taylor swift

you're in his dms. I am taking his shirt off and covering him in fake blood during a production of macbeth. we are not the same

If anyone's going to romanticize murder it's the gays. And you know I'm all here for it.

no your honor I absolutely can make my case like an adult. first things first, fuck the defendant and fuck his family too. secondly,

I think at one point or another everyone should become slightly obsessed with a show (preferably 10+ years old) that 99% of their mutuals don't care about. it builds character. keeps you humble

listen to me. listen. sometimes your show is a video game from two years ago. sometimes it's an 19th century opera. sometimes it's a math-themed crime drama you watched in middle school but did not retain because you were blinded by lust for that one elf from the santa clause movies. the only thing that matters is that none of your posts get more than like 15 notes and all your mutuals reply to them with
