i hate when a skippable ad starts with some shit like “you’re probably going to skip this ad 🙄” like. yeah! what are you hoping to achieve by starting it like that? thanks for at least being self aware i guess!
fun fact one of the world champions in pepper-eating contests is a trans woman and she actually faced significant backlash because people somehow thought she had a biological advantage. to eating spicy pepper
update bc i went back and checked: her name is brianna “the chilli queen” skinner and she set a record in 2017 by slamming back 23 carolina reapers consecutively. she only stopped when told to by the referees, and the next year she stepped down out of boredom. queen
Here's a picture of her, by the way
And her super supportive wife
The championship, it should be noted, is unisex. Apparently being a trans woman gives you an innate biological advantage over both cis men and cis women.
The innate biological advantage of being cool as fuck
I seem to be living a very expensive lifestyle called eating food regularly
Two doofus talking like Islamophobia is not mainstream, not popular in the West for the past decades
the absolute greatest thing to come out of a dating site for ayn rand fans
Cop just walked into this Chinese place and was like im here for pickup and pointed to the "we exercise the fourth amendment" sign and said "these losers [ICE] bother you at all?" like even the cops are bothered with them
Extremely funny post but even more relevant tags (via @egberts)
Can I be so 100% honest rn every time I see someone like freaking out scandalized by sexual elements in horror I'm kind of just sitting here like Yeah dude I love combining the erotic and grotesque it's my favorite pastime. What do you mean "the writer's barely disguised fetish" are we supposed to be disguising it? I think the throat-fuck guy is perfect for directing the new alien movie. Get with it
Now obviously "horror with sexual themes" is extremely broad. Not all of it is Good. Like the misogyny in 80s slashers or those occasional art films that expect you to be scared of women's sexuality in itself. I fucking hated antichrist sorry. But yknow. The thing is that horror is kind of About exploring what's nasty and shocking, societal fears, what we're Not Supposed To Talk About, & there's considerable overlap there with Sexuality. There is such a thin line between fear and arousal this is like, known. "Ermmm so this is Definitely Fetish Material" yeah? And?
prev tags were good
[ID: tags from @biracy that read, "#also like. so you're comfortable with horror as a genre and all the violence it carries with it #but the mere possibility of 'fetish material' makes you completely shut down? #what makes murder and torture acceptable in fiction but anything slightly sexual not? why is sex considered separate from other human acts? #curious" /end ID]
Literally. People get so weird about the concept of "fetish material" like there are Secret Perverts lurking around infecting things with Horny Cooties. And yknow they *could* be focusing that energy on the actual real problems with sexual exploitation in the entertainment industry, but they're not, people just like pointing and going "ewww this guy's Weird" & it's so tiring
#adding on to this that a HUGE part of gothic horror is transgressive relationships. like it's a staple of the genre#part of the horror comes from depicting them. it's supposed to make you uncomfortable#and obviously whats considered transgressive changes over time. gay relationships used to be a big focal point of gothic romance#because at the time it was considered nasty and shocking and something we dont talk about#like this was around the same tine as oscar wildes gross indecency trial#personally i think it's fascinating to see how the genres changed over time because it reflects societys changing attitudes towards gross -#and nasty and shocking things We Dont Talk About
I was born in the exact right generation I love being an unmarried woman in my twenties with my own bank account and no children

Why am I so hard on Democrats
Every fucking time. Every fucking time.
Biden put that $25 million dollar bounty on Maduro’s head. Biden drastically increased funding on ICE. Biden aided and abetted a genocide for 15 months. Biden ignored the Epstein files. Biden fueled the mass incarceration that we as a nation are suffering.
And now we have an opposition party that doesn’t want to oppose Trump and yet, people like me get called a Russian psyop for calling the shit out. There are democrats who feckless and complicit in this shit. And you can’t see past the Orange Fascist to recognize that.
If they ever tell you to vote blue no matter who, please think for yourself and rest that it matters who the fuck it is.
ICE fucking abandoned the scene in a Minneapolis neighborhood and left their battle plans and designs on the city, fake license plates, and challenge tokens which they reward themselves for arrests. Looney Tunes shit.
"Demonstrators investigating the abandoned ICE vehicles apparently retrieved these “challenge coins” that ICE mercenaries receive when they kidnap people. This “coin” is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death."
hello whta the everloving fuck is this are ICE just cult members who believe themselves to be some kinda assassin creed shit?
It’s Nazi paraphernalia
