I got that temporary sadness in me

I also have inevitable joy lying dormant within me. Also bones are in me

Update

JESUS CHRIST

This applies to so many things! Your first two inches of knitting/crocheting look like fuck-all. Your pile of fabric pieces look like fuck-all. Your first two paragraphs look like fuck-all. Your first nursing class looks like-fuck all. Keep doing the thing until you finish the thing!

this passes peer review harder than anything has ever passed peer review in the history of peer review

when my littlest brother was a toddler he was apparently under the impression that you could get meat out of an animal without killing it in the same way you could get milk or eggs.

he expressed this as "the farmer milks the cow and then he porks the pig"

My brother and I knew where meat came from really young, because we lived on a farm.

That farm was really small, so all the animals had names.

So we go to Thanksgiving dinner at my grandparents' place one year, sit down at the table, and my brother (like 4 at the time) goes "so who are we eating today, Grandpa?"

Grandpa thought it was hilarious. Grandma was mortified.

>be me

>be having sex for the first time in two years.

>with a guy ive spent three years wanting to have sex with. first time together.

>spotify is on shuffle with a long queue

>just settled in to a new position. am about to get my dick sucked. things going great

>queue runs out because gay sex is longer than a long spotify queue

>spotify shuffles her options and out of over Four Thousand Songs offers up the most HONKY TONK BANJO MUSIC KNOWN TO MAN

Song so honky tonk it doesnt exist outside of america

Happy one year anniversary to me and my boyfriend who i love more than anything in the world :)

oh no he died

The eternal question - is it worse to read the words of someone who hates a character you love but is accurate/respectful in their points/portrayal, or someone who loves them more than you do but strips them of all nuance and greyness to legit "they did nothing wrong" when they did SO MUCH WRONG?

These tags slowly escalate in their support of unnamed atrocities

Oh I can name the atrocities if you want

Oh. I forgot the url AGAIN. I'm so sorry.

And notice the tone the scientists researching this.

“What do you mean the fatties live longer? This CANNOT BE RIGHT DO THE STUDIES 15 MORE TIMES!”

And when they can’t figure it out, they simply say “it’s not worth reading” to keep anything POSITIVE about fat bodies from getting out into the public eye.

Because then folks might not but into the billion dollar industry for diet fads and weight loss scams that all of these obesity doctors line their pockets with.

Because then theyd actually have to start treating their fat patients like PEOPLE.

“Willett’s complaints are starting to look less credible, however, because no one has been able to make the paradox go away. One of the most popular explanations is that fat people get more aggressive treatment than thin people, because their weight raises red flags at the doctor’s office. This seems questionable: studies show that overweight and obese people tend to avoid doctors, get fewer preventive screenings, and receive worse treatment because they’re often misdiagnosed as “fat” rather than with a specific medical condition” 

Emphasis mine

Also, notice the phrasing.

“No one has been able to make the paradox go away”

They wanna get rid of that shit SO BAD. Because if fat people aren’t as OMG OBESITY CRISIS as folks love to scream, that means their fad diet scams and weight loss surgeries can’t make them millions anymore!

Fuck these obesity doctors. They outchea selling snake oil.

“One of the most popular explanations is that fat people get more aggressive treatment than thin people, because their weight raises red flags at the doctor’s office.”

*points and laughs*

I’m sorry, I’m just stuck on this part. That’s hilarious. An incomplete list of things where the suggested solution was “You should lose weight”: My badly broken ankle hurting, a severe bacterial sinus infection, panic attacks stemming from Complex PTSD …

Oh, wow this study has a pretty reputable source and a really big sample size.  Y’all could actually show this to the haters.

There are so many studies that show that ‘overweight’ people live longer, that fat people receive atrocious healthcare, that the ‘health risks’ of ‘obesity’ are WEIRDLY the exact same as those of yoyo dieting HMM I WONDER WHY THAT COULD BE, that longterm weight loss is impossible for all but 2-5% of people and those people sustain it by developing pervasive disordered food and exercise behaviours that would be correctly interpreted as mental illness is any context except Fatties Trying Appropriately Devoutly To Be Thin.

The evidence is THERE and it has BEEN THERE for decades now. People do not care. They want to smugly judge fat people and/or rake in 10s of billions of dollars a year convincing people to try not to be one of Those Bad Fat People. They do not want to hear that being fat is just a body shape, with no moral value for good or ill. They do not want to hear that weight is as heritable as height. People get reeeeeaally super defensive when you ask them not talk about their endless dieting and attempts at weight loss around you, a fat person, whose body they are going to all this effort not to resemble.

Anyway join your local fat pos movement and fuck fatphobia forever.

the trick for enjoying a new video game is avoiding the internet’s opinion on it 

Idk guys, maybe people are blaming leftists who refused to vote because of genocide because I literally saw them holding political rallies last weekend in a swing state telling people not to vote

Like it wasn't just tumblr leftists saying not to vote for Kamala, or at all, because of Palestine. Those were real people I walked past last Saturday in Pennsylvania, a key swing state. They had megaphones in front of Philadelphia city hall and a sizeable crowd. I feel like we can, in fact, say they are partly culpable here.

I beg my kidnappers for a phone, swearing not to make any calls or texts, and they stare over my shoulder, holding a gun to my head as I use my newly-freed hand to post, "So do like, dudes just buy ropes and baklavas from the same store or what lmfao like a specialty Crime Store"

One of the kidnappers says "balaclavas" but it's muffled under the fabric. I ask them to repeat and they do, their voice raspy from disuse. "You wrote baklava, that's a pastry." The other kidnapper goes "stfu" and then after a pause goes "Why would you buy from a crime store"

“What options do I have besides suicide?”

this is NOT an “alternatives to suicide/coping methods” post. it’s “what do we do now?”

1. have hope and keep trying to do good

2. it might not be over yet

3. the way out will always be community

Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3

Sharing this again for anyone who could use a few seconds of peace and light today for whatever reason.

Do I get bitches? Idk, do I own a cat shaped charcuterie board with mouse cheese knife?

post CANCELLED everyone GET OUT

IM BEING CRUCIFIED LIKE CHRIST

I couldn't have said it better myself.

As a 30 year old man who escaped the Alt-right pipeline, you're not going to be happy about the answer.

All I hear from leftists is how much they hate me for my immutable traits, how much they blame me for everything wrong with the world, how much they want me and everyone who looks like me dead.

Whereas Alt-right types would call me "brother" and welcome me into their ranks so long as I hated the right ways.

Do you understand the difference?

I'm an ally and support equality because I feel it's the morally correct choice to make, but holy fuck is it difficult to reconcile that with the fact that means fighting for a lot of people who see you as the scum of the earth.

Read this and then read it again and then read some fucking bell hooks because this is a legitimate problem on the left.

"To create loving men, we must love males. Loving maleness is different from praising and rewarding males for living up to sexist-defined notions of male identity. Caring about men because of what they do for us is not the same as loving males for simply being." - bell hooks, The Will to Change https://bellhooksbooks.com/product/the-will-to-change/

What the fuck was I going on about

I reckon this is gonna fly all on its own

Don't do this to me
