i think janitor should be the highest paying job in a society

My good people, I give you: Amatonormativity.

When someone discloses abuse perpetrated by someone you find super likable - fight your urge to not believe them based on how the abuser seems to you. Abusers are great at appearing the way they need to appear to get you on their side. 

“Good cops”

i’m speechless

This is how the system of white supremacy  operates. The media is used 2 create stereotypes like blk on blk crime.They need black men to fill jail cells for the Prison Indstrial complex

You know what? I’m tired of this. I do not know what exactly they are waiting for. I mean our government comes up with “reasons” to invade other countries, such as Syria, like their government is allegedly violating human rights or something like that. but… I mean for other countries, they do not even have to go deep to bomb the fuck out of this place, they can just look at our media. And this has been happening to people of color since the media has existed.

I’ll never forget this 👇🏾

Not at all friendly reminder, a very mean reminder actually, that while we should begin criticizing the Biden administration soon, making fun of Biden’s stutter still isn’t cool. We’ve gone over this. He doesn’t have dementia, he’s not ‘sleepy’, he’s got a damn speech impediment and is trying to accommodate for it (and the times where he genuinely forgets something or fucks up— come on, everybody does it sometimes.), and obviously out right making fun of it is even shittier. You’re no less of an asshole than the conservatives who were just mocking him for it. It’s not a woke leftist take just admit you don’t care about how these remarks could effect others who stutter and go.

the illusion was always that we just had to do it. just “do” the homework. the meal prep. the college application. just write the email, send the homework, follow up with that interview, clean your room. these are easy things, one-click things, two-hours-max things. we had so many people in our lives shout it at us. “why didn’t you just do it!” 

often my answer was a soft i don’t know. an i-got-tired when actually it was more like - i couldn’t. i just couldn’t. it feels like everything is covered in snow. don’t you know that i’m mad at myself too? i want this stuff just as much as you do. i want to live in a clean house with good food and have an okay job and know i’m not disappointing the people i’m coming home to. i don’t like missing opportunities and having to scramble in a panic about last-minute things.

i’m a fully grown adult. she is posing for a pic on insta. if you want a life like this, go out and get it. it’s 2pm and i haven’t eaten breakfast. i am staring at the space where i should be working. 

her video has a laugh. “just do it!”

ideas for interesting platonic dynamics:

older siblings trying to maintain a cool persona to impress younger siblings who idolize them 

character avoiding their landlord cause they’re late to pay rent 

neighbors who have grown weirdly accustomed to each other and don’t feel right if the other person isn’t home 

following the same idea… one of them finally moves out and the other neighbor deliberately scares away potential new inhabitants cause they can’t stand the idea of anyone else living next door 

alternatively, shenanigans between neighbors who cannot stand each other and are each trying very hard to get the other to move out 

adult characters bonding with their friends’ children 

characters who are just sick of each other for no particular reason, they’re just weirded out by how often they coincidentally end up in the same places 

character stalking another character, but solely to use their extensive knowledge about them to avoid them 

long-lost friends/relatives reunited after many years who now have to get to know each other all over again 

doctor/therapist/other health care specialist frustrated with a chaotic patient who keeps getting themselves into awful situations 

tension between characters of different religions, but not hateful!! there’s just a lot of confusion about each other’s beliefs as they get to know each other 

parents trying very hard not to play favorites with their children 

children trying very hard not to play favorites with their parents 

teachers trying very hard not to play favorites with their students 

business partners become business rivals 

business rivals become business partners 

friend groups where pets are also considered part of the group (thinking of scooby doo) 

bitter enemies teaming up against a bigger enemy 

mentor/apprentice, but the mentor doesn’t know what they’re doing at all, they’re just winging it 

mentor/apprentice where it turns out that the apprentice is actually more skilled/knowledgable than the mentor 

ex-villains slowly learning to trust their old enemies 

ex-villains trying so very hard to persuade their old enemies that they are not villainous anymore 

friends who’ve grown unhealthily attached to each other keep putting off an inevitable goodbye 

overachieving classmates who barely know each other and have no intention of furthering their relationship, but they enjoy working together because they make a great team 

adoration between villains and their henchpeople 

feel free to add on as many as you please

I HATE seeing posters, especially around schools, that say “failure is not an option”. Fuck that. Failure is always an option. It’s okay to fail. You will fail in life at some point. You need to prepare yourself for failure or else once you do fail, it will destroy you and you won’t know how to pick yourself up. Failure is a part of life. Failure is always an option.

I'd very much like to punch a feminist.

I’d never, ever hurt a lady but I’d be happy to punch a feminist. It’d bring me great joy.

One of the funniest things I ever experienced was when I went to go see John Mulaney live, and halfway through a bit about how expensive college in the States is, he looked down at the sleeve of his suit jacket and just. stopped. dead halt, mid sentence.

And after like three seconds, where we’re all trying to figure out the punchline because the story clearly hadn’t ended, and John Mulaney quietly says, “Has there been tinfoil on my buttons the whole goddamn show?”

He’d taken his suit to the drycleaner, and they’d wrapped the buttons on the sleeves and the coat with tinfoil to protect them, and John Mulaney didn’t notice until half-way through his set, and was SO FLABBERGASTED that he never did finish the story about college and instead did five minutes on how stupid it was that his buttons were reflecting the light and he just didn’t notice, and in that moment I understood more about John Mulaney as a person than I ever have.

Petition to change “he looked at her like she was the sun” to “he looked at her like she was the moon” and any other variation bc I look at the moon in wonder and love and amazement while I’ve only ever just squinted angrily at the sun

what's up I fucking despise the way we as a society have normalized caffeine addiction

i think about this a lot

ok youtube just said “fuck you if youre deaf or hard of hearing or just want to watch a video in a different language”

https://twitter.com/LiamODellUK/status/1288869766980042752

and you know what the fucking bullshit is  they’re replacing it with a ~6 months free of a subscription to a third party captions provider~ which of course you’d have to pay for after those 6 months are up and you KNOW random youtuber #9039 isn’t going to bother to keep paying for that either because they won’t have the money or they just won’t care. and youtube’s going to act like that’s a perfectly fine alternative that won’t result in the majority of the site suddenly going from “more or less accessible” to “Fuck You If You’re Disabled” 

“citing low usage” are you fucking kidding me nearly every worthwhile video i watch uses community captions. sometimes they’re kind of janky cuz they were made by some 14 year old who thought it’d be funny to put their own irrelevant jokes and commentary in there but that wasn’t a reason to ditch the feature entirely when its so useful and important

i’m not even hard of hearing and i rely on them to watch videos in other languages…this is literally how people have been making english subs for japanese songs and the like for years and it was great because you didn’t have to reupload the videos yourself and take away views from the original creators. many creators don’t allow reprints of their work whatsoever so if they go through with this (which unfortunately they seem pretty deadset on because lololol moneyyyyyy) it’s entirely likely that there just won’t be a way to watch that content with captions

there’s a petition to keep community captions…i don’t know if it’ll really do anything since they’re already going ~oh but we have Paid Alternatives!~ but don’t just let this pass by this should be a huge deal but i’ve barely seen anyone talking about it (not that i expect people to talk about things of any particular importance on tumblr but it’s not even getting attention on twitter beyond that one thread and like 2 other posts)

so like. sign this and shit don’t let youtube just actively get rid of accessibility features without anyone caring (though i’d say probably use twitter if you want to actually get their attention i don’t think they’d look here) http://chng.it/LN9HRNmnkg
