Pronouns are whatever neopronouns are handy, some personal favorites are it/its, ny/nyx, quote/quotes and xey/xem but really just go nuts

I am greatly entertained by the President Pro Tempore of Virginia’s state Senate, an elderly woman who constantly talks about her goal of countering GOP gerrymandering by rigging Virginia’s districts 10-1 in favor of the Democratic Party. She’s a rare breed for Democrats: completely ruthless, totally apathetic to criticism, only here to win. Here she is calling Sen. Tim Kaine a cuck for disagreeing

The fact that “dolls having a tea party” has stuck around in the public consciousness is fascinating to me.

Like, back in the Old Days that would be a way that women would actually socialize.  So if a girl had a doll tea party, she was imitating her mom / other contemporary women.

But these days contemporary women don’t have tea parties. So now, the idea of “dolls having a tea party” is an echo of an extinct behavior, only repeated and referenced because it used to be so prevalent.

So a Barbie in a big hat themed for a tea party is a bit like if they made Transformers that turned into stagecoaches and horse-drawn buggies.

Like I wouldn’t buy the fuck out of stagecoach transformers

Here’s dril’s candles on a graph for reference.

It’s easy to look at these and assume “well, high crime cities need more police,” but i think that’s putting the cart before the horse.

Police make crime worse.

Police take fiscal oxygen out of the room, away from actual social support programs. The money spent on policing could go to housing, nutritional services, healthcare, civil rights, building inspections, labor rights enforcement, street maintenance, public transportation. But it goes to paying guys to sit around idling Ford Explorers all day and hitting poor people with sticks.

Crime follows poverty in absolutely every single case. Every single “high crime city” is because of the fucking poverty.

uterus mysticism is weird to me, besides all the bioessentialism stuff, because like. Dude it’s just an organ. Imagine if we did this to the gallbladder or kidneys.

Divine feminine is stored in the appendix actually. appendicitis is just the Virgin Mary trying to break through to you. Never get your appendix removed its mother Mary speaking to you.

I love rat snakes they’re so cute and cuddly. Unfortunately, they want to get in your house and cuddle.

They love to live on your porch and deal with pests and be really chill and then sneak in when you least expect it. They’re trying so hard to be domesticated. Sorry bud, you’re so shiny and dark and beautiful but you’re an outside friend.

ratsnake perfec t for domestication put rat snake in House good friend to human very Companion and Friend have good time with ratsnake in house. Put Ratsnake In House. No problems ever ratsnake in house because ratsnake perfect size give Help and Support to human. A ratsnake perfect pet for human can trust ratsnake to be good companion to Human. friend ratsnake.

learned today (after googling it upon seeing the "Sadomasochism Brothers" post) that masochism was named by a psychiatrist who had read Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's erotic writing and was like "I feel safe in concluding that this man had Fucked-Up Freak Sex Disorder, which now until forever will bear his name", while von Sacher-Masoch was still alive. there are accounts of von Sacher-Masoch being like "bro what the fuck" about this

there’s definitely a gulf between someone who knows how to play chess and someone who plays chess, but it’s nothing compared to scrabble

specifically, “uwu” is being added to the international english scrabble dictionary, which is apparently a big deal because uuw is a terrible tile combination otherwise
