today i learned that according to the New York Post, “Forty-two percent of women have experienced period-shaming, with one in five being made to have these feelings because of comments made by a male friend.” (x)
Yknow what. I’m just gonna say it.
It’s about time we have a fictional princess who actually enjoys being a princess.
She enjoys the politics. She enjoys the diplomacy. And she enjoys the balls and banquets and attention and pretty dresses and that doesn’t make her a dumb shallow bimbo or some regressive anti feminist handmaid or whatever the kids say these days about women who don’t fall in line with their Strong Female Character power fantasies.
All the princesses urging for ‘something more’ that’s all fine and good but I’m ready to see a princess who appreciates that being a princess is already a lot!
AVE is not TikTok slang, not generational slang etc. It's AAVE that gets popularized by others in their communities and repeated to the point online of it being labeled as such. Point blank. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk 🙃
unfriendly reminder that lusting over fictional murderers is one thing — but lusting over real life murderers is abhorrent and shameful and simply wrong.
they have real victims. they inflicted real pain. there is nothing, absolutely nothing, romantic or sexy or alluring or quirky about them, no matter what netflix or any other production company puts out.
it’s one thing to joke around and say you love characters like the corinthian, or hannibal lecter, etc — they’re not real, and we know that.
but the second you bring in someone like jeffrey dahmer or ted bundy or some other real-life killer, i lose all respect for you.
there’s a line between fiction and reality. sometimes it blurs, but sometimes, you really need to make sure it does not.

This disability pride month, let’s talk more about the fact that even invisibly disabled people cannot work full time jobs. Let’s talk about how job hunting is a fucking nightmare, how people expect us to be able to work if we’re able to stand at all, how we’re told we’re not qualified for jobs that would be lighter on us physically but the part-time retail position down the road would “love” to have you until you have that job and you’re calling out more than once a month. Let’s talk about how remote work isn’t always an option, how difficult it even is to find remote work, how classist remote work tends to be. When I say “give disabled people enough money to live, zero required qualifiers, zero questions asked,” I mean it. Yes, even they can “technically” work. Capitalism has poisoned society into treating its members like cogs in a machine, and if one isn’t spinning, the immediate reaction is to throw it out.
Just got sonic for the first time and ngl shit kinda mid
“oh we can’t hold the Queen accountable for the actions of her ancestors!!!”
her ancestors? you mean her dad?
y’all realize she was crowned in 1953 right? Nearly 70 years of imperialism with her face stamped on it. She’s the longest-lived, and longest reigning British monarch.
Y’all look at her and see a kindly withered old gramma with memeability, but completely ignore the amount of damage that she and her family have done to so many countries.
“oh well, what did you want her to do, just walk away from it?”
yes.
Yes, I do expect people to look at the harm that systems they uphold do to the world at large and then actively refuse to continue their participation in them. I do not believe that is too much to ask of anyone, let alone one of the most powerful women in the entire fucking world.
Sorry that I’m not particularly impressed with her #girlboss legacy when the Indigenous Peoples of Canada and Australia are still feeling the monarchy’s effects on their homes and families.
70 years and she never once thought, “Hm, maybe imperialism is a bad idea?”
I hope the old woman kicks the bucket, and I hope that her family continues to disintegrate until the entire thing comes crumbling down. May independence finally come to the people England has been crushing under its boots for centuries.
You can dislike kids and not want to have any, that’s fine that’s your decision and you have all the right to make it. But don’t be talking about how if you saw a baby in the supermarket you’d punch it, that’s not humor or an opinion that makes me not want my nephew to go outside.
