please read the best twitter story i’ve seen all week
bringing this back because it becomes possibly funnier the second (third forth) time around
oh my god
This is one of the epics. :)
i think about this Jane tweet all the time
IT'S REALLLL CHAT IT'S REAL I'M SCREAMING
WHAT-
HAHAHHAHA THIS IS SO FUNNY TO ME
Ive had this saved in my phone since April
That sounds like an amazing evening 🥰
I dislike how clumsy it is to share Twitter threads but here is a portion from a guy I follow (for his trans porn and monster fucking content at that) echoing a sentiment that aces, traumatized people, people with low libido, etc. can fully relate to. The rest is here and it’s absolutely worth the read.
“Sex isn’t special”
Thank you! I’ve always been fascinated by how sexuality is viewed in such a dramatic, over-criticized way when it’s just another one of those things we do in life, no different from eating, sleeping or playing.
This is also why sex workers don’t appreciate being pathologized for having sex for no other reason than ‘hell yeah money’ or ‘sure, beats an office job’.
( @johannestevans is on Tumblr as well btw!)
A lot of people don't understand that the reason we agitate for political action to dismantle capitalism and replace it with something better is not because it won't collapse on its own, but because it will.
Capitalism is destined, doomed, to fail. Its own ethos of expansion at all costs, of prioritising profit over human life and Earth itself, means there will inevitably come a day when there is nothing left to make. Every drop of fuel, every scrap of biomass, every gram of ore will have been used up in its ceaseless quest to make Things, which no-one now has any money to buy. Capitalism is a death spiral and, left unchecked, will take down the entire planet.
Agitating for change now, and putting those changes into practice, is the equivalent of demolishing a dilapidated building; it'll be messy, and slow, and it'll take time to clear the rubble away, but the alternative is the building collapses and kills everyone.
this comment on a vid about elon musk was so good i had to save it
nobody tweets like hozier...I love him so much
batfamily twitter again
context (via @mellorocket)
doubly funny that I saw a compilation of all the corporate accounts like "aw thanks elmo, we're doing well" meanwhile all the flesh and blood real human people are extremely not okay
Okay but Elmo had actually the best and sweetest response to all this trauma dumping:
And then all the other Sesame Street character accounts joined in:
And now I’m thinking maybe we’re gonna be okay… 💗
(Comment compilation from this Twitter)
I kinda feel for the poor person running Elmo's Twitter.
"So, boss... I may have messed up."
"What did you do, Ray?"
"Well, I made a post for Elmo saying 'Hi, how's everybody doing?'"
"I mean, that's kind of what we pay you for."
"Yeah, but.... <sigh> it turns out pretty much everyone is hanging on by a thread, badly enough that they needed to tell Elmo."
"Oh."
"God help me, boss, I think Elmo needs to be there for them."
"Get the others."
this is the energy that jim henson would be proud of.
and important addition
still astonished that there are people who really refer to Twitter as "x" now. Even in casual conversation. You don't need to do that.
No one ever tell me anything bad about the person who runs this account.
the person who runs this account, Katie Gouldin, is an evolutionary biologist who has an EXCELLENT podcast called Creature Feature which compares and contrasts the weird behaviors of man and beast! she is super cute and funny too!
oh thank GOD
just want to add i love how much she hates elon
yeah okay ill reblog that
She is also credited by the Audubon society with coining the word “birb”
