Of course, the burkini ban is messed up on grounds of religious freedom and racial discrimination. But also
Under any other circumstances, people would be HORRIFIED at a government mandate that women have to show a certain amount of skin. Like. That’s fucking dystopian, and the absolute opposite of feminism. If a government tried to pass a law that all women had to wear tube tops and miniskirts to go outside, people would rightfully be up in arms demanding blood
But because it’s targeting a marginalized religious group, many folks are lauding the blatant forced sexualization of women. Appalling
(apparently the ban also outlaws things like sun – protecting bathing suits if they cover too much skin. Which like. Yes, let’s give everyone skin cancer just so we can spite a religion we’ve decided to hate. Sounds like a good plan </s>)
Unironically think that each of the bros (+April) don’t actually get how impressive their feats really are so they just do what they do and on the off chance someone comments on those feats they all react like:
As we get closer to 25% of the way through, I'd like to do a poll!
But since tumblr will not allow polls with 2770 options, I won't be able to include them all :(
So, instead I'm taking nominations of birds to include. Comment here or send an ask with your favourite bird(s) so far, and a week after we pass the 25% mark I'll post a poll with your nominated birds :D

Imagine you go to a Michelin star restaurant, and you order one of the nice dishes. As the steaming covered tray rolls toward you on a cart, a yuppie foodie halts it and steps in front of you.
"Thanks for ordering this dish!" he chirps. "I just know you're going to love it. This -" and he holds up your fork "- is a FORK. You can use it to spear food. Now let's get started."
And he hands you a plate of limp asparagus, cheering as you take each bite. The asparagus is undercooked and a bit rotten. You keep looking at the covered platter behind him as he talks.
"Welcome to the Plate!" he says, gesturing to your plate. "You can use this to put food on before you eat it. And you're going to need it, because you're going to LOVE this dish."
He keeps talking and you imagine your food cooling, sauce congealing and meat hardening. After about 20 minutes he finally concludes his speech and you eagerly lunge for the meal you ordered and lift the lid. It's a pile of fried turds with flies buzzing around it. This is what most AAA video games are like in 2023.
Sometimes I lay awake at night and think about how Ring Ding Dong could’ve been that K-pop song that took the world by storm instead of Gangnam Style. If only it hadn’t been released in 2009 when practically nobody used YouTube
