Best people. #ACAB

Each sentence gets worse. Each sentence gets more MAGA.

I don't think I'll ever be over gilbert's letter to anne, it's so beautiful and romantic 💖😭

(and yet anne never read it, one of the most frustrating things ever 😫)

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Like to charge, reblog to cast

Honestly? They had me at "Trump dies".

It is a truth universally acknowledged that boys still have not learned this lesson.

Happy birthday Pride and Prejudice!

so this guy followed me yesterday after I posted some selfies and then this happened. At first I just wanted to say ‘anyway men are awful’ but I figured I might help especially younger female followers identify a douchebag when he starts a seemingly harmless, friendly conversation so let’s go through it shall we

First off, I have a big nose. Growing up I was very insecure about it but I’ve learned to not care about it now. Fact is it is something that is generally considered unattractive and this dude knows it. So he compliments me on something that he thinks I am insecure about but doesn’t get the expected reaction of ‘omg noooo it’s so ugly, thank you!!!!!!!!’ 

so he keeps digging: ‘do others compliment it?’ and ‘what do you think of it?’ He was waiting for me to confess that I’ve been insulted or laughed at because of it and that I cry myself to sleep every night. So he can be the one guy to find me attractive despite my tragic fate.

He picked a feature of my face that is not conventionally attractive, counting on my low self-esteem so I would be grateful and he’d prove that he’s ‘not like all the other guys’

and as soon as I made it clear I don’t have vulnerability to exploit he blocked me lmao

TL;DR men will use your insecurities so don’t give them the opportunity and don’t open up to them

This is actually really important, I’ve experienced this kind of thing many times and it’s only in the last few years that I know what these men are doing.

It seems harmless but in reality this is insidious, manipulative and devious. 

This is a pick up artist (PUA) technique called ‘negging’ and is purposely done to psychologically target people’s weaknesses and is pretty fucked up

Asking Important Questions. 

All Steve wants is to draw birds in central park by the light of the setting sun while Bucky lies in his lap and this trash compactor has the nerve to act like Steve really wants to be standing here cleaning up Tony Stark’s garbage mistakes. 

^This is the best MCU related sentence I have ever written.

The 10th Kingdom: Snow White, the fairiest of them all, one of the great queens, a powerful, kind, and brave woman, a wife and a mother. She’s not all these things despite or because of  her size. Her size is not important. She is important.

Snow White Remake: Snow White, a girl who can be confident and beautiful despite her size, thanks magic shoes. Her size defines her and it’s so wrong she needs to hide it.

This expresses my feelings precisely.

Me in history class: Wow, humanity has been through some fascinating times!  I wonder if I’ll ever live through major historical events!

Me now: NO NO NO NO NO I WANT TO GET OFF THIS RIDE

Our entire generation: WE WANTED FUCKING SPACE TRAVEL WHA T T H E FUUCKS

Imagine if female authors could get away with simply not having men in their novels because they “don’t understand them”

imagine if we weren’t raised to understand more about men than we understand about ourselves

JRRT. Creates entire languages, cultures, histories, but can’t just sit down and talk to his wife about how to write a sodding woman.

The Earl and Countess of Strathearn arrive by train at Edinburgh Waverley Station in Edinburgh, Scotland -December 7th 2020.

...Breaking and undermining lockdown rules in the process.

They are not essential workers. They don’t have jobs. They shouldn’t be touring the UK.

Edinburgh is alright🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙
