Attention Content Creators

There’s a new Situation and because of this Situation I can’t even tag anyone to spread the word. I was recently informed that as of about 18 hrs ago at this point (Jan 1st, 1pm EST) NO NEW POSTS are showing up in ANY tag search on ANY browser/app. I’ve checked this to confirm.

Myself and many others have noticed that posts have been taking a very long time to show up in tags these past fews days (my last post took about 5 hrs). Yesterday around 2pm EST staff reported they were aware of the issue and were working on a fix. This new development appears to have started around 7pm EST, which leads me to believe it’s a result of the “fix” that’s currently in progress. Unfortunately this has made the already bad situation impossibly worse in the meantime.

I have no idea how long this will be an issue but you may want to hold off on posting any new content until it’s sorted out.

it is also worth noting that this will be used to cover up the inaction on the cost of living crisis. expect a bunch of "uk coming together to mourn the queen" bullshit soon when families are choosing between heating their homes and feeding their kids

saw captain marvel!!

let me just say, as a young girl, that was the goddamn best thing i had ever seen. it was a religious experience. i cried because that is my life. people telling me i cant do things. that i’m too emotional. that i’m not good enough or strong enough or fast enough because i’m a girl.

do you know how i felt, walking out of that cinema? there was an energy inside me, an awakening, i felt free and powerful, i felt like i could do anything. i felt like my sex wasn’t holding me back.

she wasn’t sexualized, she wasn’t a side character, there was no romance (i still ship carol/maria thou) it was just her in a purely singular way. she didn’t need a guy to pull her punches, she didn’t need a slutty costume and over-sexualized fight moves.

I get a ride with my friends aunt to a youth group. on the way, she was talking about her son (young, cis, straight, white, privileged) seeing captain marvel the day before me. he said it was ‘too feminist’.

oh?

OH??

really, a movie about a women constantly pushed down by men is feminist? a movie about empowering young girls and women is feminist? a move about the most powerful character in the MCU as a women fighting past sexism is feminist? a women rebelling against social roles is feminist?

gee, who would have guessed?

later, on the ride back in a different car, the driver, a 40-year-old father of daughters said that he’s just young and confused, doesn’t know what’s right and whats wrong.

excuse me?

I am a FUCKING TEENAGER, barely out of my ‘tween’ years, and i am not sexist, i am not racist, i am not homophobic. it’s not anything about being young. it’s about being a decent fucking human being. it’s about accepting the struggles women go though everyday and opening your eyes, because it’s there, in the media, online, in people all around you. it’s in the girl that gets catcalled walking down the street. it’s the girl crying in the bathroom because someone called her fat and ugly, a whore. it’s in the jokes that aren’t jokes. it’s in how me, my mother, and my sisters do housework while my father sits on the couch. it’s about how i get overlooked for everything, simply because i have breasts and long hair and a vagina. it’s how i get remarks like ‘are you on you period?’ ‘i guess it’s that time of the month’ and ‘crazy bitch’ everytime i open my mouth to talk about something important, get labelled hysterical, and radical and a feminazi.

it’s how every women in the world has to fight for anything, how many governments fight against them, about how trump is defunding planned parenthood, how pads and tampons are luxury items, about how women have to fight to be allowed into things like the air force, like the army, even harder into sciences.

it’s not hard to find, to see, it doesn’t matter how old you are, how confused you are. it is not hard to find, it is staring you in the face, it is screaming and screaming but you plug your ears with it’s her fault, she was drunk/wearing a  short dress/high/leading him on/slept with his friend and cover your eyes with that doesn’t happen, i’ve never seen it. (you’ve never looked.)

the truth is that man – boy, is a who has to call his mother for instructions on how to make spaghetti is living a lie, that he is better, he is smarter, based on his skin and who his dick likes, how he sees his body and how much is in his parent’s back account. he has accomplished nothing in his life, (from what i can tell.) I, a girl about 8 years younger than him, has done so much more, just on the fact i’m not a piece of shit that hates equality.

I have to deal with the same shit everyday, so does any woman, and you have the gall to say that it wasn’t valid because you, chad, haven’t had the same experiences?

get a life, everyone who hates captain marvel for not being sex on legs, ignoring women’s issues and continuing this toxic culture of male superheros and oppression of girls.

get a fucking life or i will end yours, and so will every girl who grew up watching captain marvel and knowing they are stronger than people say.
