why does needing and god forbid wanting feel so incredibly embarassing
Amazon is being sued by the FTC and 17 states for being an illegal monopoly
hi hey please talk about this as much as you can constantly over time
so often i've seen big-ass Stupid Bullshit News about Stupid Bullshit become absolutely nothing after like 3 days. i'm so fucking tired of it because it means that nothing changes, since we've forgotten what we need to change.
now amazon is getting sued. awesome! this is the first time i've heard of it. the suit was filed presumably somewhere between a few hours and a day ago, so that's understandable.
is this really, really going to be covered after, i dunno, three days? i honestly don't reckon so. amazon has enough money and probably apathy to make this not as much of an important lawsuit as it should - and maybe could - be.
i would love to be reminded every day for weeks and then months that amazon is being sued for operating an illegal monopoly. i want to read every joke, hear every update, see every move that's made until this shit is wrapped up. i don't just want to operate on hope and, inversely, a lack of faith on this one.
i want my anger over the way things are run to be grounded in things happening right here and right now, instead of historical events that make you go "that sucks. can't change the past! :)" and move on, because that changes nothing in the present or the future. please talk about amazon getting sued by the federal trade commission and 17 state attourneys-general for breaking antitrust laws by being an illegal monopoly.
time to schedule post this a few times this month!!

you know when you really really like someone bc of who THEY are but you also really really REALLY like them bc of what they unlock in YOU, like, they dont CREATE new facets of yourself or whatever but there’s those parts of you that are easier… to access… bc of this person…
like maybe its easier to connect with certain interests you have or talk about certain aspects of yourself or maybe its easier to be serious with that person, or easier to be silly, or easier to be kind to yourself, or whatever, when youre around that person… maybe there’s things you forgot were in there and then youre spending time with someone and its like rummagining around the attic! WOW! THAT’S STILL IN THERE, HUH
Marvel’s Jessica Jones Season 2 coming March 8, only on Netflix.
the thing about being someone who’s never catcalled is that you start to wonder why like is it because im ugly???
and then you realize that youre judging your worth by whether or not you are objectifiable to a man and thats so fucked up like honestly its so fucked up
but the worst part about the patriarchy is that it still sits at the back of your mind regardless like “nobody thinks youre pretty because they dont see you as a sex object” like somehow thats a desirable thing and it fucks me up
You’re either public property or completely invisible.
Yep.
I’ve seriously been waiting for this gifset for so long.
Do You Notice Anything Different About This Toy Catalog? Because Kids Do.
Toys “R” Us officially moved up a few notches in the eyes of progressives by challenging the gender stereotypes that have lined its pages for years. The Swedish version of the toy store did at least. I definitely like the idea of letting kids choose what they want to identify with instead of having it spelled out for them. I really hope this catches on.
maybe some day toy stores in the US will realize that they can sell more toys when they aren’t marketing to “just boys” or “just girls”
I fucking hate smokers.
justinbieberrr:
Seriously, it’s a law that you’re not supposed to smoke within a certain amount of feet of public property. Yet I walked past a whole bunch of people who blew smoke in my face. Honestly, that shit needs to be illegal, because there are some of us who don’t like having our respiratory problems worsened by people’s shitty habits. I don’t care if they believe that it’s “infringing on their rights”, I just don’t care. Just because you want to smoke yourself to death doesn’t mean I want to. Fucking inconsiderate assholes, but if I say something I’m in the wrong? Hell no.
