I'm going insane

priests in media: oh woe is me i'm so tormented... on my hands and knees repenting... these yaoi hands are capable of incredible violence... i ought to be punished for my thought crimes... i will kneel before my object of worship and pray for their sinful soul.... oh to turn into a beam of light and disappear into my faith... thank you god for loving me because i do not know how to love myself...

nuns in media:

Bro this pic of my roommate has been posted all across the internet and they always crop my handle out of it but this time they cropped the funniest part, which is him following up the pic with “big steppa”

everytime I’m reminded that men will straight up complain about how pussy smells and there’s a whole industry around women buying products trying to cure it like some kind of disease it Goes in the evidence pile towards heterosexuality being some kind of obligation based death cult wherein each side despises one another truly and deeply . What I wanted to post is I would huff pussy smell out of a paper bag in a back alley like it’s paint fumes but the thought went elsewhere

Met way too many men who complain about pussy smell but don't shower

Can I tell you guys about my favourite meme at the moment

So. This year's edition of Big Brother Brazil just ended tonight and I need to mention that this is my FAVOURITE meme from this year.

So this contestant, called Fiuk, has become a meme for being.. dead.

He looked like this before the show.

Very much belongs to the realm of the living.

His father is a very famous singer in Brazil, and Fiuk is famous on his own for being involved in the 2000s pop punk/emocore craze. This man is rich, ok.

But then he arrived in the Big Brother house, and people started noticing...... all this man does... is smoke.

The other contestants would be talking to each other and he'd be off in a corner somewhere smoking. In the beginning of the show he looked quite alive, often cooking for the house..

But then..... some time into the show... his appearance started changing. In a rather alarming way. My man started looking... a bit dead.

WTF IS THIS?? HOW IS THIS MAN EVEN ALIVE?

In fact he looked so dead that some of the contestants kind of treated him like he was and just kind of left him in a corner

Even covering him up like he was dead!

But... this all peaked when he went up for elimination. See, I don't know if all editions of Big Brother do this, but in Brazil, all the contestants up for elimination wear heartbeat monitors. Their heart rates are shown on screen.

And I don't know what kind of malfunction happened with Fiuk's heart monitor, but when his heart rate showed on screen...

IT SAID ZERO!!!!!! LIKE HE WAS ACTUALLY DEAD!!!!!

In fact, he looked SO dead that Brazilians managed to pull a sick prank on foreign internet by convincing gringos that Fiuk was actually dead.

The prank worked and we thought it was hilarious. Sorry gringos.

A big reason why I think I became a marxist is bc I read A LOT of Calvin & Hobbes and Bill Watterson really went out of his way to lay the groundwork for teaching people critical analysis. Like take this panel for example:

EVERYTHING one knows about American/Western culture, especially in the late 80's/early 90's, would lead to the logical next line being some form of "Kids These Days Are Succumbing To The Evils Of Satan" or some likewise cheap Reaction™ But then Bill pulls the rug out

He criticizes the "satanic" bands not for some lack of christian morals but because theyre a byproduct of hyperconsumptionist culture. Bill takes no issue with the subject matter bc his issue is knowing its only being done to sell rebellion as a consumer product rather than to say anything truly provocative or inspired.

that whole "lol my boyfriend was looking at the wikipedia page for wind!" "my boyfriend was eating sausage reading about sausage!" post bothers me so much why are we once again pretending that something like. BEING CURIOUS ABOUT THE WORLD. is a guy thing. this is "how often do you think about the roman empire" again. this is "boys will be boys! (something silly and cool)" it's girl dinner. only guys read wikipedia or have random thoughts or think about history lol!!! lol!!!!!! what does that imply that girls are interested in

“women are so mean to men now” they were putting arsenic in their coffee back in the day

I truly cannot stand the revisionist idea of women in the past that misogynists have. No, they were not perfect. No, they were not all good mothers. No, they certainly weren’t all submissive wives. No, they were not more kind, patient and trusting with men, through large swaths of history they didn’t want to be alone with them. Women in the past were being held hostage by men and many were punching up when they could.

Based on @gh0ul-dinner's request on this post. Thank you to @cosmonautroger for the original post, I just didn't want to risk flooding your notifications with Ghost Band Enthusiasts.

There is a grain of truth to the whole "hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times" thing, only it's exclusively used by like, fascist freaks who have no idea they are the weak men in question

But mostly when I hear that phrase, when I'm not thinking about like, eugenicist losers, I'm reminded of like... People who grew up in a world without diseases thanks to vaccines and then convince themselves they don't need it, people who grew up with strong social safety nets and high taxes on the rich convincing themselves all that shit is theft and life is just fine without it, etc
