Bitches will find a fictional man attractive and then immediately imagine him in situations where he is losing alarming amounts of blood

The Harvey Weinstein appeal thing is one of the few cases where listening to the full news story makes me feel better. Like is it still fucked? Absolutely. But it seems like what has happened was they ruled a specific choice used in his New York trial made it unfair (allowing witnesses to testify who weren’t directly related to the case at hand). He will be retried and he’s not going free either bc he also has been tried and sentenced in California so they’re just moving him there.

#still awful but I know I saw headlines and immediately went into cynical despair mode and I’m relieved to know it’s not as bad as I thought #tw sexual assault

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

Not mspaint bc I was too lazy to open my computer so this is the notes app of my phone but this is max

He didn’t like me very much

good morning. lets go over your assignments for the day:

for all boys/men/mascs: today you're going to draw the first pet you ever had in mspaint (or any other simple art program available.)

for all girls/women/femmes: today you're going to write a poem for a stranger you remember from your real life that stuck in your mind, despite your very brief window of knowing them.

for all nonbinary/androgynous people: break day, so you get silent reading time in the bean bag chairs.

#it’s not his fault he was just my moms cat #and then she got a husband and he was like 🤨 #and then she had kids and he was like 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 #he would usually scratch and bite but we had our moments and I do still really love him

I am writing a paper on the final girl trope in conversation with heroines in Shakespeare comedies which means I have to use the foundational final girl text which at one point does argue that the final girl trope is just gay sex

#recommend tho it’s very transmisognyist #well. #it’s an academic analysis of a genre that is often transmisogynistic #written in 1991 by someone not engaging with trans people and in the full introduction to the book #she says that she would write it very differently if writing today #and so id argue her observations still hold bc they are not essentialist in and of themself but observing essentialist characteristics #of a genre #either way. interesting read #definitely more complicated then the omg girlboss view the final girl trope has

hilarious drama going on on reddit, the least respectable social media site i use. someone goes to r/legaladvice with a question about a shitty interaction with a cop. pretty normal post.

some users replied with regular advice, but one r/legaladvice moderator came in saying it was OP's fault, defending the cop. when OP requested they "please read the post", they equipped their next reply with their little mod hat and told them that showing attitude would result in a ban.

after receiving hundreds of downvotes (and many replies, all of which were removed and banned), the r/legaladvice mod nuked the thread in a fit of anger.

so you'd think it'd stop there, right? well, that's where you're wrong.

there's another subreddit called r/bestoflegaladvice, where the more interesting r/legaladvice threads are reposted for audiences to take the piss out of. and of course, a mod throwing a tantrum and nuking a thread because they were asked to read would make that cut. so it was reposted! and of course, everyone started rightfully calling the mod a bootlicker.

people then started pointing out that the r/legaladvice mod team has cops on it, at which point, part two of the drama starts: some people are mods of both r/legaladvice AND r/bestoflegaladvice, and they get really mad when you call them cops (derogatory).

so of course, they take the best course of action, which is to angrily reply to comments calling them cops and then use mod powers to delete the comments they don't like, insisting that only ONE r/legaladvice mod is a cop, so it's totally fine!

the r/bestoflegaladvice thread was then deleted and locked by mods, presumably for "republicizing deleted comments".

the same thread was then reposted to r/bestoflegaladvice. again, the thread fills with people calling the r/legaladvice mods cops.

this thread was also deleted and locked by r/bestoflegaladvice mods.

but it doesn't end there! because there's ANOTHER subreddit called r/subredditdrama, where the juiciest drama from all manner of subreddits gets reposted. and you'll never believe what's gone on long enough to count as drama.

here, free from the shackles of reddit's legaladvice world, users were free to dunk on the mods as much as they want.

the r/subredditdrama thread was eventually deleted as well (but not locked) just because they don't accept links to nuked threads since the original can't be read, but thankfully, everything had been archived by that point.

and just because the streisand effect should never go unrealized, i'm reposting it here, to tumblr. who knows, maybe someone will bother to screencap this and put it on r/curatedtumblr, and it will eventually live on in reddit again.

as for OP, they reposted their situation to r/nostupidquestions and later posted this update:

moral of the story: never go to reddit for legal advice, because the legal advice subreddit is run by ONE cop.
