Plastic. just say plastic.
How dare you leave this in the notes
i wish all affluent people who are in college and make nonstop jokes about being poor a very understand that poverty is not a temporary condition
if you are poor for four years and know the exact date at which it will end, you have not experienced poverty.
this is the same reason that “politicians should have to live a month on minimum wage to see what it’s like” doesn’t work. poverty is a lack of resources beyond monetary ones. it’s not having family members you can borrow money from. it’s not having a place to stay if you were outdoors for a bit. it’s not having the nice kitchen equipement with which you could make food more cheaply. it’s having to buy cheaper things which will break sooner because you can’t afford the better ones.
the bit about knowing the end date is not a semantic point to make me feel better. if you know you’ll be out of this soon, it enables you to make choices you otherwise couldn’t. you can splurge on pizza delivery or spend half your paycheck on good shoes because it isn’t real. if a crisis comes, the irreality of this situation allows you to deal with it. you can ask your parents for money, you can stay with someone for a while. impoverished people can’t.
i think a lot of times otherwise progressive people come out of college more classist because they think they know what it’s like to be poor now, and they made the right choices, so why doesn’t everyone else? you weren’t, and you didn’t. poverty is more than that.
I have never been a fan of the word normal, but this is the most disgusting use of it.
when t-rfs talk about “peaking” people what they’re talking about is grooming btw
they will for real dedicate/circulate entire threads detailing extremely specifically how to recruit people into their ideology, often through explicitly manipulative and sometimes even outright abusive means. they gloat and joke openly about doing it to friends and partners and coworkers and younger siblings and anonymously to young trans people on the internet. you see this happening pretty much everywhere regardless of whatever blog you’ve clicked on and are hate-reading, it’s integral to their entire ideology of which would probably honestly collapse without it yet they accuse trans people of being in a cult
look at any blog in the “des-sted dysphoric” community to see innumerable further examples of this. they wear that title like a badge, very conversion therapy-esque. i’ve seen these people openly discuss how to convince their trans male and transmasculine friends into detransitioning. threads upon threads of advice on how to do this. a lot of times they even journal about it on their blogs, like “omg my TIF friend wants top surgery how do i peak them asap”. this is innately unnatural and predatory behavior
terfs accuse their “enemies” of that which they themselves are guilty, chapter 4,826
Ok actually I’m gonna say it: just call out Mulany and stop trying to pull this “lol I KNEW he sucked you’re all idiots” bullshit
Like stop fucking pretending that people who liked him, especially trans people who were specifically hurt by this, like they’re idiots for not having your supposed galaxy brain intuition about a man no one knows personally
Y'all are fucking annoying, and it’s PATHETIC to be gloating about someone being a piece of shit
This isn’t a “haha I told you so” moment, stop being fucking children for 5 seconds jesus
how is anyone supposed to watch dr strange wave his hands for 2.5 hours to “fix” the multiverse after seeing how an asian mother’s acceptance of her daughter’s queerness was the key to defeating evil across every conceivable reality. how.
A piece of media: This is a complex story where no one is evil and no one is a saint. People are a reflection of their world, their life experiences and trauma. Morality depends on context from which you view the character. You are not supposed to find every character good or even likable. You can take sides and find real life parallels but the biggest point is to make you think and maybe recognize the flaws in yourself as well as the goodness in those you hate.
Tumblr: okay so THIS is the bad person and THIS is the good person. This is the oppressor and this is the oppressed. This is the abuser and this is their victim. If you like this EVIL character you are clearly the same as my asshole dad who reminds me of this character. Not taking a moralistic stance on a fictional story means you are amoral. Analysis is actually about figuring out who the bad-est person is so you can disavow them and who the good-est person is so you can root for them. The media you consume reflects your values and the characters you find interesting are clearly the ones who are exactly the same as you.
it’s really interesting how in cop shows it’s only ever the Bad Guy that won’t let police into their house without a warrant, asks for legal counsel, refuses to talk to police, won’t let themselves be searched without probable cause, or exercises their legal rights at all. wonder who that could possibly benefit
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED WITH THE POSTS??????
why are they trapped in a little box….with rounded corners and things….
get it out..
this is like being in a horror movie and seeing the killer get someone else first and knowing they’re coming for you next
YOU. POPULAR TUMBLR FEMINISM BLOG. ARE YOU NORMAL ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE?
I hate the future man this shit sucks so much
oh so NOW they post articles clarifying they “broke up” last month only after most of the fandom’s spent the last 24 or so hours jumping down liam’s fucking throat for supposedly being a cheater…uh-huh, real smooth…as usual the obvious bullshit is obvious

If a group wanted to do powerful material good (and gain social influence) they could take a page from the Black Panthers and set up methods to continue feeding local schoolchildren for free.
