lot of people harbor the subconscious opinion that poc (especially black people) have to be grateful and trip over themselves with thanks for every crumb they get. that’s why you have people angry at john boyega rightfully talking about how he doesn’t fw star wars. that’s why you have people telling you not to criticize any “representation” or “diversity” in books and on tv. y’all are projecting this “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” mentality onto us not realizing that we aren’t getting fucking fed.
So tired of shallow readings of texts that begin and end with "these two men were gay for each other" ESPECIALLY bc it almost always goes hand in hand with dismissing all female characters out of hand. Yes nick was gay for gatsby but daisy is an extremely important part of novel and gatsby's relationship to her is absolutely vital. Yes goodnight sweet prince is a little fruity but I also care deeply about the tense gender politics of hamlet and ophelia's relationship and her position as a foil to him and also isn't it SO much more interesting if Hamlet really did love her? If he loved her and yet? Like I'm not saying these men aren't gay but it's not worth sacrificing the women of the story
“Losing your virginity” just bc you had sex sounds like a skill issue. Like, I’ve had sex, but I kept mine.
Protesting is a FELONY in Tennessee now…Facism at it’s finest (x)
im literally forever obsessed with this because it implies the following:
The Rapture, as described by Christian Evangelicals, has happened
Parents witnessed their son disappear during The Rapture, but remained atheists anyway (based)
Instead of sinners and nonbelievers going to hell or getting killed, they just... stay on Earth.
I actually am really sick of the focus on trans people who don’t want to transition always being on trans men and tme nonbinary people because like you see all these people get accepted for not wanting to be masculine and not wanting to have deep voices and body hair but never any acceptance for trans women who don’t want to be feminine and have big chests and tuck and wear makeup and shave our faces and that seems kind of suspicious don’t you think. Almost like perceived masculinity is frowned upon in tme-dominated trans spaces. Almost like trans women can’t even exist and do nothing without people associating us with men and maleness
had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing
