“Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn’t be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves.”

Fish!!!!! You should tell us about a character that you have made!!!!!!

I love it when people make characters I love it when people tell me about their OCs and why they're so cool I love it when people write about their characters and put those characters into different situations I love it when people create characters for existing universes I love it when people create their own universes I love it when people make characters I think it's so cool to express yourself through character creation I love the characters that I've made and I love your characters also please keep making characters

Sebille: I do enjoy swinging a claymore and see heads pop like corks; blood spouting like sparkling wine. If that's the sort of thing you're after.

Stop trying to seduce me with pretty words, I'm already romancing you with one character.

#that's my wife 😭🥰

Reblog if you stand against order, civilization, and goodness itself

there is so much about modern queer discourse that could be fixed simply by understanding "straightness" to be a socio-political classification & reward for conformity rather than just a personal identity.

This has been absolutely taking over my dash for days, so in a way it's like they did decide to come over and stare at me.

actually, I think spiders georg should be counted. just because he's the best at what he does doesn't mean we need to discredit him. he's part of the statistic too

“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them… Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like ‘Men are stronger than women.’ We should be asking: ‘Which men?’ and ‘What do they do?’ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.”

In today's comic, Artemisia makes an upsetting discovery.

#so here's the thing #hanag was the first source master i found #and at that time i was under the mistaken impression that i was REQUIRED to get a source point from EACH of them #so i did the killing the animals thing even though i absolutely hated it #and by the time i found out you could actually pick and choose source masters and say no to the ones you don't like #that decision was way too far behind me to go back and change #almira was the last one i met #so by then i already knew how the quest actually worked #but finding out that i chose murder when there was a makeout option available all along just kind of added insult to injury #divinity #divinity original sin 2 #dos2 #almira #comics

I've seen several sites mention this, it's real.

Do not make the MISTAKE of thinking you need to put your side forward. The Guardian is transphobic as fuck, and will twist your words. DO NOT ENGAGE.

By the way, this is in the aftermath of the Cass Report, and the goal will be to make Trans DIY something that needs to be regulated or stamped out. DO NOT ENGAGE.
