hello gay people in my puter is this true? or is it a macdondals psyop to poison gay people by convincing them to drink the grimace shake?

wild how much fatphobia completely does away with so many things typically regarded as aspects of male privilege

"men's clothing sizes are simple and easy both to navigate and to find" unless they're fat

"men don't have to deal with street harassment" unless they're fat

"men don't deal with groping and nonconsensual touching from strangers" unless they're fat

"doctors take men's health problems seriously and their pain is seen as real" unless they're fat

"systemic infrastructure like medical research, crash testing, etc, is all based on men's bodies, so men get a world that's literally made for them" Unless They're Fat

That’s because one of the functions of fatphobia is de-gendering. Being fat makes you less man and less woman. Because being fat makes you less human. Like for the same reason why fat women’s clothes is always hyperfeminine because you have to be performing gender that much harder to be treated like your gender. Fat men have to as well, and there’s a clear difference between how ppl treat fat men who are hypermasculine presenting (beard, lumberjack outfit, ykwim) than like softer looking fat men.

Representation of society's vision

The hero and the villain

tiktokers who say classic lit is bad because its not relatable 1. thats not the fucking point 2. you've clearly never read twelfth night as a trans bisexual

you've clearly never read Frankenstein as a student

If you're fucked up enough a lot of classic lit suddenly becomes uncomfortably relatable tbh.

This is 100% true, but also: literature is a great way to engage with people you don't actually relate to, and practice feeling empathy for them anyway. I have never been in a battle, but I have cried over the Iliad multiple times because I was suddenly made very aware that every single war has people like Hector in it, who leave their families one day and just never come home to them. Please keep looking for things you find relatable in unexpected places - but not everything has to be relatable for it to be worthwhile.

Not everything has to be about you to be worth reading

Happy July 1st

BLAAARGH!! PUT THE COALS WITHIN MY MOUTH! ROAST YOUR FOOLISH MARSHED MALLOWS!! COLLECT THE ASHES FROM MY ASS TRAY and dispose of them responsibly, especially if they are still warm, fires are no joke. Uh. BLAARGH!!

Thank you for finally giving them a happy ending 

I have never felt so validated in never having given up on Tumblr.

IT GETS WORSE!

So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a "free" account.

Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn't know WHY it isn't loading, so it keeps TRYING.

Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.

This is so completely amateurish it's unbelievable. It's like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it's making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.

He really thought everyone would buy a membership instead of just...open one of the 17 other, free, working social media apps already on their phones 😂😂

Literally got a BlueSky code yesterday, never left Tumblr...

It’s been years since the last time I used Twitter with any semblance of regularity. This… this is not exactly inspiring me to go back, much less actually pay to use it.

Oh no you shouldn't. It's literally imploding.

please commission artists

i'm begging you. please. tumblr users commission all the twitter artists that have come here looking for work

If you’re coming here for twitter please be advised that established tumblr users are entitled to put you in the stocks and throw tomatoes at you at any time. And you have to smile and tell them that you’re grateful for it btw

im so fucking serious when i say that no one is crueler to visibly disabled people than girlies with blue wolfcuts and sharp eyeliner wearing hundred dollar sweaters from shein.

like. there's a weird misconception that it's old people, but i have never once had an issue with anyone over the age of, like, 55. they are fine with me muttering to myself or making weird faces or not hearing them the first five times they call my name. that's not a problem for them. when my brother goes out with a cane, they're the ones who compliment it, and tell him the spikes and ribbons are a cute addition.

yesterday this pink haired girl in the bathroom told me that i needed to stay away from movie theaters if i was going to act like a schizo. ten minutes later an 80 year old woman complimented me on my bright red hearing aids and said she wished she had that confidence when she got hers.

anyways to the anon who just said that maybe i shouldn't be in public spaces. thank you for proving my point

a very important addition.

ok this post was originally about psychosis and plurality, but this is also a really good addition.

falling in love harder does not mean that one person is more in love than the other. it means that the decent was quick and scary and harsh compared to the other who had some stairs or maybe a slide and a cushion at the bottom

YES exactly. u get it. see there are levels to it. @bloodiedpeonies
