It's insane, fucking Jokerifying, that it was revealed that the world is run by pedophile rapists, but then we made no changes to the fact that these same people are the ones steering legislation to "protect the kids"
Thinking again how the trans unemployment rate back in 2022 when the economy was doing better was 18% and how that's 4 times as high as the national rate and basically twice as high as any other group of people in the US
If in 2026, you are STILL saying 'why didn't X survivor/victim of sexual assault go to the cops or prosecutors?' then you cannot be trusted to drive a car or live by yourself because you are ignorant.
the artemis II stuff was a lot of fun but as a regional supervisor of the misery engine that turns doomscrolling into green energy i'm glad it's over. we're down 44% from this time YoY for Q2
Sometimes you think “damn maybe every man would do sex crimes if given enough power” but I think it’s more that men who want power are often the type of men who do sex crimes
I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
The new performative male signal is being overly horny for the eye rolling pacers girl because I know a lot of yall would actually crumble and hate it when faced with a real mean woman
it's like "i need to hurt SOMEONE, and the people i actually WANT to hurt are out of reach and will never know how much i hate them, so i will emotionally lash out at whoever is in range instead and pick fights over made-up problems. but that doesn't improve anything, so i still always feel angry"
i do have to assume that all fandoms are getting more insane because of the general state of the world. it's just an emotional outlet for how everyone is doing bad. the economy is making people post worse about tv shows
matched someone who said "tell me about your favorite bug!" but maybe they were just being twee because my rapturous six paragraph description of the way the horse-guard wasp paralyzes 30 horseflies and buries them alive with a single egg that hatches and eats them all alive kinda killed the convo
"you're going to pay a lot more in taxes for more universal health care" and "say goodbye to single family homes" are two messages that even a lot of liberals and progressives hate
also, people left, right and center have this idea that starting in The Trades today is like starting in the 70s, and that's just not true; if you've been an electrician for 30 years, you're probably doing passably well now — if you're starting as one today, you're unlikely to do as well by 2056
In 1985, Wendy Carlos spoke about the reaction to her transition: "The public turned out to be amazingly tolerant or, if you wish, indifferent ... There had never been any need of this charade to have taken place. It had proven a monstrous waste of years of my life."
The thing that annoys me the most is they will argue this devoid of any actual context. The anti-trans side spent years making bomb threats against children's hospitals, gay bars, and LGBTQ community centers. They call LGBTQ people groomers and pedophiles. They mocked trans teen's suicides.
anyway it's the student debt shit forever. whatever you're asking for is stupid and impossible and it'd probably cost them votes, take a civics class, until they do it, and then they love it, it's brilliant, you should've known they'd always do it and be more grateful.
it shouldn't be socially unacceptable to have a full role of toilet paper in your purse. tp is cheaper than those little Kleenex packets by like 500x and I'm not made of money, okay. I'm made of snot
Listen, I learned more about birth control, menstruation, and how to get and give consent to different acts from Tamora Pierce books than I did from my school. There's a huge difference between smut and showing teens what healthy sexuality is.
To co-sign and expand upon: This is also a thing that often happens after a first season that grows in popularity after it finishes airing. Now that fans who binged have to watch week to week, they struggle with the fact that stories are going somewhere and not immediately resolved.
20-something millennial feminists got mild traction on tumblr and twitter for like four entire years and now every major media corporation is like "toy story 6 should be about the dangers of race mixing"
