what people dont get about divorces is the Whole Thing About Dogs
i have written custody plans for labrador retrievers more complex than i have for children. i went to four years of undergrad, three years of law school, and sat for the bar exam to write up custody exchange provisions for dogs with hyphonated last names
my clients are paying $295 an hour for me to go to court and litigate who makes veterinary decisions for Chuckles the Goldfish and theres literally nothing i can do to stop them
framing these tags and hanging them up in my office to remind me that it can always be worse
it never fails to surprise me how some people will simply take every single thing in a story at face value and assume that what the characters are saying or doing or thinking must always be true even when all of the context clues are screaming the opposite
My favorite part of youtube is the part of it that is middle-aged-to-old guys with zero production value who have made a simple, low-quality video on their phones about how to repair the exact fucking appliance that has been giving me grief so I can fix that fucker myself instead of spending hundreds of dollars to hire someone.
These men are all my honorary uncles and I love them.
there’s absolutely something to be said about ‘booktok’ books being largely wattpad quality written erotica i’m certainly not reading them however having seen a guy on tiktok make a video like ‘all the women in your life are READING PORN’ about a book he picked up and read in his FEMALE FRIEND’S HOUSE in a tone of scandalised horror and disgust i actually don’t think men should be making those criticisms. he said he picked it up expecting a romance and was horrified it was GOONER SHIT he said specifically like ‘who are you getting your pussy wet FOR??’ in a tone of revulsion. idk man im not sure shes the weird one. i kind of wish you were dead
“a lot of books that are successful on booktok are not very good” and “people can read what they want and we need to stop being so fucking weird about women enjoying erotica” are both correct statements
There’s a lot more context to this like Siken wasn’t even @-ed by anyone he found the original tweet by namesearching himself, decided to respond to it, then when his response got replies he started throwing around accusations of parasocial stalking over some harmless hyperbole. Sir the only one being parasocial about you is yourself.
Then he accused the women above of having ‘meltdowns’ and asked Google AI for validation lmfao
And he got quite frankly owned here (if nothing else it’s a self-own because pretending to not know words have connotations in society, as a famous poet, is hilarious)
You know this website really has changed Tom Hiddleston is being gay as fuck in a TV show and I’ve seen maybe two posts about it. If that had happened 10 to 12 years ago it would have been inescapable it would have been truly radically inescapable you would have not been able to get away from it
