this is not a duet

free my girl she did the same things as the celebrated male protagonists but the fandom has labeled her irredeemable

THIS IS WHY I LOVE ELEMENTARY 

INSTEAD OF THE PUNCHLINE OF THE JOKE BEING “LOL SHE’S ON HER PERIOD” THE PUNCHLINE OF THE JOKE IS HER CALLING HIM OUT AND TELLING HIM HE’S AN ASS 

I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST. FUCKING. TIME. I’VE SEEN A SHOW CALL SOMEONE OUT ON THE “WELL CLEARLY IT’S YOUR PERIOD AND THAT’S WHY YOU’RE UPSET” AND CALLS IT EXACTLY WHAT IT IS

I am reblogging this to my main and side blog because fucking yes

Joan Watson won’t take none of your shit.

TBH that might even thiner they avrage

Wtf do you mean plus sized????? Thats a skinny woman?!!! Are these people blind??!!??!!

Ya'll when I say I am fucking tired....

you say it's my villain era and what you mean is that when you were six you panicked about wearing the right thing to kindergarten, what you mean is that in middle school nobody was eating, what you mean is that you spent high school prepping for college and college prepping for adulthood and adulthood fucking lost in the system.

what you mean is that you've been good. you were a good team player. you would have never considered yourself perfectionist - those are people more popular, prettier, more successful - but you carry any flaw like a secret in you, terrified someone will desert you for the simple reality of your personhood.

if you were good you could be loved. you could be loved if you were selfless and thoughtful and caring. if you bent over for every person, if you went above-and-beyond, it would absolve you of who you actually were. deep down, how horrible that you had needs. that you had boundaries, that you had desires. you learned young that you cannot afford to cut people out of your life - you would have nothing left. it is better to live in the service of others, to supplicate. to worship. you weren't exceptional, you had to make up for it in some way. to prove to others you were worthy.

if they need you, it's the same thing as loving you. if you are always-there, always-listening, always-friendly, you are filling a role. you have a purpose. you are living correctly.

villain era, you repeat. you mean: yesterday you finally told a man no. for hours afterwards, you couldn't control your heartbeat. you mean: you've been saying positive affirmations on repeat, trying to teach yourself any new thing about how self care is necessary. you mean: three weeks ago, due to a scheduling conflict, you finally told a coworker that no, you couldn't do them a "quick favor". you have felt bad about that ever since. sure, it would have made you work late and it would have been extra stress - but you feel bad about it nevertheless.

you tell your therapist you have been leaning into evil. she asks what that means. when you tell her: sometimes i prioritize my own needs, she doesn't find it funny. she looks at you a long time.

"and that's evil?" she clarifies.

"well," you say. "feels evil to me."

for literal decades, US schools have policed the clothing of young girls and the clothing and hair of black students so meticulously it’s straight up harassment, but now that they’re being asked to enforce a mask mandate in schools, which, btw, is a million times simpler and easier to enforce than these absurd dress codes, they “can’t control students in that way” because they “value student’s bodily autonomy” stfu and tell us with your whole chest that you’re scared of the rich white soccer mom PTA head cutting funding and you don’t think women & black students deserve bodily autonomy.

I hate how pettiness, messiness and jealousy are considered only traits women or gay men have. Straight men have convinced society that they don't act like this and it's just not true. Can women and gay men be like this, of course but straight men are just as guilty and fly under the radar.

Charisma Carpenter and Amber Benson finally speak out against Joss Whedon and his behavior during Buffy and Angel

This felt inevitable.

One of my dissertation mentors turned down a tenure track job because at the interview she was introduced by first name and the men of equal rank were addressed as “Dr.”

i noticed this too even in 2016, when it was always “trump vs hillary™”

In love with the concept that men still wear hats like that

Captain America is a war criminal, Winter soldier is an assassin and Hawkeye murdered people in endgame.

Men™️ on Twitter: How can Captain Marvel, a woman, twist a man’s hand who verbally abused her. She should be put in jail.

this feels appropriate

my favorite addition to the post

Women can go to war, they have a right to talk about war.

Cis men can’t get pregnant but they still think they have the right to talk about my uterus as though they have some authority on it. 

And I wonder who the largest demographic of people saying “men shouldn’t be drafted/the draft shouldn’t exist” is
