no bc like I’m turning 19 in less than a year and rn if some guy told me “hey I’m offering u a job no one your age is qualified for bc I think u r qualified” I’d either be like “yeah checks out I’m better than everyone” or I’d be like “yeah ok you’re offering me a job I don’t care if I’m not qualified”. either way I would take the job bc like even if it was for political gain I could simply lie and I don’t think my outlook on this will have changed by my birthday. I rlly don’t get what the weasleys had a problem with tbh like percy was offered a perfectly respectable job and he accepted bc that’s the normal thing to do???? yes yes it had rlly dodgy implications but like what was he supposed to do?? say no to the prime minister directly offering u a job??? be fr
And also the way Barbie and Ken are role playing heterosexuality without any inherent sexuality of their own, without any understanding of what it means, or even any genitals at all! Just pretty-girl + handsome-guy = obviously a couple. And the way it fucks them both up! Because they’re both stereotypes, neither of them is a specialist version, no brain surgery or pilots license or Nobel prize for either of them. They’re just assigned the roles of Every Man and Every Woman. And Ken ends up doing Way Too Much because he’s hanging his entire self-worth on being important to Barbie. And Barbie just isn’t interested in him, she was assigned a boyfriend she didn’t ask for and doesn’t want and doesn’t know what to do with, just because that’s what society expects of men and women, that they will necessarily couple up and fall in love because… that’s what they do. Regardless of any personal quality of either party.
It’s about heteronormativity and amatonormativity and the unrealistic expectations society sets boys and girls up for from infancy. Barbie and Ken are every pair of toddlers sharing a sandbox while the adults around them call them each other’s little “boyfriend” or “girlfriend” even though neither party understands or is capable of understanding the implied meaning of that. Or wants to.
It’s a literal funhouse mirror of that weird pressure put on kids to perform heterosexuality from an early age. It examines how that leaves us unprepared for the complicated reality of actual relationships even if it turns out that you are heterosexual and do want sex and romance. Boys and girls aren’t really allowed to be just kids on the same team, so they grow up into men and women who generally want very different things from each other and are trained to look for it in everybody because anybody is better than nobody, and try to force it to work.
Barbie and Ken letting each other go in the end was perfect. Barbie the Every Woman realizing that she doesn’t have to be special, she just has to be, and Ken the Every Man realizing he has to seek validation elsewhere and lean on his fellow Kens for emotional support, WHICH THEY GIVE.
Truly a movie of all time.
an incomplete collection of tweets i consider to be short poems
i have some too
100k notes and i'll @ my crush on this post
wrong. You have until august 1, 2023.
you have one week remaining.
you have no chance to survive make your time
Fucking reblog this post
A lot of things are possible but 90k in 4 days is not one of them
the gimmick blogs are like tumblr’s rogue gallery. yes we’ve got some heroes, yes we’ve got some villains, but more importantly if you look over here you will see some freak who devotes all their time to counting the number of “t’s” in a post
T Count: 15
Letter Count: 198
Your T Percentage: 7.58%
Average T Percentage: 6.95%
You used the letter T 1.09 times as much as average!
YOU EXIST???

I love all the fun kinds of autism we get here
why are people even questioning obesity in america
why is your tea liquidised?
….. Where exactly do you live that the tea isn’t liquid?!?
ENGLAND. WHERE IT IS IN A BAG AND YOU MAKE IT YOURSELF.
like what do you do with already liquid tea? Microwave it?
No it’s sweet tea you drink it cold
WHO DRINKS COLD TEA???
HAVE YOU NEVER HAD ICED/SWEET TEA BEFORE?!?
so i reblogged this from a british person and i’ve been laughing at their tags for 600 years
England, you stole tea from China. You’ve had it a mere 4 centuries compared to their 30+. Don’t play like you’re some kind of authority.
[skeletons ooh-ing]
Shots fired. World War Tea has officially begun.
Englad doesn’t own anything
except that time we owned most of the world
If I stop reblogging this, I’ve gone to the other side.
I have only seen this legendary post in screenshots, so today is a blessed day.
HAH
BOSTON TEA PARTY PART 2
HOLY HELL I FOUND IT
And this is why I love Tumblr
Drinking cold tea is like drinking cold hot chocolate. Sure, you *can* do it, but you *really shouldn’t*
Behold concerned Brit. Chocolate Milk
I only see this on pinterest omg….
OMFG
BEHOLD THE GREATEST TUMBLR POST
“world war tea” is the best play on words i’ve heard in weeks
this post is a wild ride from start to finish
I haven’t seen this since chocolate milk was added. Is that really just an American thing? You’re missing out guys!
😂😂😂
Cold tea
Cold hot chocolate aka chocolate milk
Cold coffee
I mean, do yall even know about cold water or is that an American thing too???
YOU GUYS DRINK COFFEE COLD AS WELL???
Does the rest of the world not use ice cubes? Do y'all not have freezers? What is going on?
Just thought I’d put my 2 cents in this post, it’s iced tea and not sweet tea. Idk what Americans r smoking 💀
I’m relatively new to Tumblr but it seems like sort of a big deal that I found this post so I’m gonna reblog
Imagine not liking iced tea- actually im gonna go drink some now
I don’t even know what to say…
i drink iced tea every day >:)
Iced tea is brilliant but hot tea is nice too
Behold concerned Brit
World War Tea Situation
This post is a relic
Me seeing this for the 14th time in my 5 years on tumblr and seeing more notes and comments but still reblogging it since it’s literally a World Heritage Post
date of origin: November 5th, 2013
The legend has crossed my dash.
i know you were just saying how cool it would be for a book and stuff but there's actually a lot of research about what a tidally locked habitable planet would be like and it's very cool!!! some people think it would be uninhabitable on both the light side and the dark side with only a habitable strip that goes around the top and bottom called the twilight strip because it would always look like twilight, while other people think if you had a dense enough atmosphere and big enough oceans the planet could self-regulate temperature through circulation and you could live mostly anywhere on the planet but there would be the potential for really big storms because of temperature and pressure differences in a high moisture setting
sorry I'm now realizing how long this is I hope it's not too much of an info dump I just also think tidally locked planets are fucking awesome and yeah there is so much world building potential there!!
THATS SO COOL. I also think its really cool that you know all this cool stuff about planets and stuff >:] also i didnt see this for like 10 years so sorry about that :/
Percy Weasley is legit such a bamf??? Man lived on his own and survived the corrupt ministry all by himself. Like he was legit only 19 when the huge fight and shit took place. Bro left right then and there and went to live in his apartment all alone like. You gotta give him credit for being able to pull that lonely shit off. Mean people always act as if Percy had it easy during the war like im tired of them saying that man he's my favourite. Are they forgetting that Percy worked at the ministry for the whole 2 and a half (something) years that it slowly went to shit for??? Are we forgetting that brother in christ legitimately fully committed himself to the ministry the minute shit started to get real!!!!! Like the fact that Percy's whole argument situation was caused by a manipulative maneuver by Fudge is a testament to that. Percy was right there at the very beginning of the ministry fucker-upping and was there to witness and EXPERIENCE all of it!!!!!!!!!! Safe to say he did not have it easy. Percy is the best and if i ever see anyone being mean about him again i'll. Write a long rant.
My dad after i send him a 960 word essay explaining to him who Percy Weasley is and why he shouldn't be hated
Anytime i see a bunch of pride flags i have to restrain myself from saying "where mexico" bc i doubt anyone will know I'm referencing this
Terf just told me I should've gotten therapy instead of surgery. Girl who do you think referred me to the surgeon
Literally yes. You can't get bottom surgery in my country without an extended psychological evaluation + a second opinion + 2 years of HRT
Shocker

Parents Supporting Their LGBT Kids During Pride Month.

Some poc parents showing their support because images like these are rarely shown and hard to find.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
SPREAD THIS LIKE WILD FIRE.
scene before movie climax:
protagonist: So who’s with me?
*5 seconds of silence*
the stoic one: *looks up* im in
4 people one after the other: me to
*after everyone else has joined we see The Edgy One standing in the back*
*2 more seconds of silence*
The Edgy One: *chortles* we’re all gonna die… what the hell, im in
My favorite movie.
Do you guys think birds realise what windows are now or no
I really love the way the first episode is done. I feel like they really could have rushed Gus's childhood but they didn't and it's really great. We get to see how he lived and the impact that Pubba had on his life
I also really like the distinction between 'the start of the story' that the voice over makes. That our story starts at the birth of the hybrids, but Gus's starts when he crosses the fence and that Aimee's starts when Wendy is left at her door. Idk I just think it's really great
one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.
