#don’t be acting like we’re the same

[jelly-o630]

Coming into work today and one of my coworkers caught me as I was heading in and was like ‘oh my god you’re late too, I came in an HOUR after my shift started 😁’

And I was standing there thinking, honey 5 minutes is NOT in the same order of magnitude as an hour

#sweetheart #one of us forgot to set their alarm and it was NOT me #don’t be acting like we’re the same #this girlie swapped her shift for mine too #she ASKED for the 6:00 am shift like????? #don’t take it if you can’t handle it

“queer spaces should be inclusive of people who don’t enjoy sex and who have “strange”, negative or repulsed relationships with sex” and “sex is an important aspect of lgbt community, history, and activism and queer people should be allowed and able to talk freely about sex without stigma or shame” are ideas that can and should coexist.

#‘queer people were banned from and shamed for having sex and that’s where a lot of our activism stemmed from’ and #‘not liking or having sex is considered abnormal and a mental illness and also needs to be destigmatized’ are concepts that not only can but #often do coalign #it’s esp important to consider that a lot of lgbt ppl who have a tricky and strained relationship with sex are like that because of trauma #which is very common for queer folks #it’s really not an ace-only thing #like i am sex repulsed but it’s very hard to discern if it’s because i’m asexual or if it’s the trauma. either way i deserve to have those #feelings and be included in lgbt spaces and discussions about sex and treated as just another queer person with a different experience #instead of being alienated because my feelings about sex don’t directly line up with yours #im so sick of people in this community trying to pit us against each other. as an ace lesbian that shit is so toxic and harmful #my relationship with sex is fluid. im sex-positive always‚ but i often find myself sex repulsed. im otherwise neutral about it but im sick #of people acting like it’s either you enjoy sex and have it frequently or you hate it and you shame everyone who has it like youre a puritan #like. lesbians are CONSTANTLY getting hounded and told that we’re broken or mentally i’ll for not showing interest in (having sex with) men #for the same reason asexuality is considered bad or wrong or weird

as an american, sam reid’s total inability to hide his contempt for overly fake-chipper american journalists, especially ones who Have Not Done The Assigned Reading know and care about the show, will never not be hilarious and iconic to me

#sometimes he can dial it back to civil blank apathy #but i have never laughed and cringed like that at the same time #sorry we’re so fake bro we’re just Like That #his frank tiredness with unoriginal or dumb questions is kinda refreshing #i think we first got it full-blast with It’s What’s Written In The Books last season #after 5K ‘why is it gay’ questions #but that latest Dish tv interview where the journo joked they thought he was dead holy fuck #defcon 1 levels of Done #it’s sort of fascinating since generally all celebrities play along with any interviewing atrocities they suffer though #american fakeism is the lowest bar to endure but the man is just a wall #lol don’t lose that sir #iwtv #interview with the vampire #okay no sorry this is my ted talk— #i mean he’s not alone frex some european actors in particular seem to pull out their best acting chops when #faced with shrilly chipper american interviewers #though sometimes you can catch the horror in their eyes #and hugh grant epically blanked that one effusive interviewer on the red carpet at the oscars the yr before last #and was almost assigned 40 lashes in the court of public opinion #(​until will smith sucked all the oxygen out of the room) #but sam reid is just full stop not going to reflect back. it’s…kind of awesome and not a little brave in this biz #anyway this has been my ted talk #saluting an icon 🫡

MY SCHOOL IS DOING NEWSIES

#I don’t think I’ll get the lead tho #not bc im not good enough to be Katherine cause I am #I literally performed watch what happens as a singing/acting number for a competition #I received the highest possible score #I KNOW I can do my dream role #but they always cast the same five sophomores in leads #not bc they’re good but bc they go to a musical theater company that our choreographer works at #they’re not bad #but I’ll never get a lead bc of it #they only ever give the leads to people who go to that theater company #and it’s sucks #it’s my dream to be Katherine #but at least we’re doing newsies #and I LIKE newsies #newsies

Current method of playing ace attorney is to have fil and Jordan voice phoenix and miles while I voice the judge and the witnesses. Adds an element to the game tbh

You know what I think would be a fun concept for a Kirby game? Kirby being able to travel to different planets on the Halberd to go explore with Meta Knight and his crew. I know that he can just fly different places by himself on his warp star, but I thought it’d be cool if he got to go on a little adventure with all of them.

The Halberd could be the hub world, I could see it acting sort of like Waddle Dee Town in Forgotten Land in that you’d be inside the Halberd when starting the game and from there you could select stages to play, play mini games, buy healing items and buffs, and other things like that. It would be nice if you could interact with Meta Knight and his crew outside of battle for once and see the inside of the Halberd without having to destroy it. What do you guys think of this? Would this be a cool concept for a game?

#text post #Kirby #we never get to see inside of the Halberd unless we’re destroying it #and we never get to see Meta Knight’s crew #everyone keeps saying ‘oh they’re all dead Kirby killed them in Revenge of Meta Knight’ #well first of all I don’t think Meta Knight would be friends with Kirby in subsequent games if Kirby killed his crew #and we see the Meta Knights in that one attack in Planet Robobot so I would assume they’re still around and we just don’t see them #same with Sailor Dee and Captain Vul I don’t think that they’re dead either #like we literally see Vul abandon ship and I’m sure Sailor managed to get out of there too #not sure about Sword and Blade Knight though like Sword Knight hasn’t been used in a game since Super Star Ultra #we only see Blade Knight as a recurring enemy (and a friend in Star Allies) #anyway I think it would be neat to have a game where you can go in the Halberd and interact with the crew #and then Kirby can visit different planets to go on adventures #this is just my headcanon but I have a headcanon that Meta Knight has a little room for Kirby set up on the Halberd #it’s a place where Kirby can stay and sleep whenever he comes to visit lol #if a game like this was made I could see them putting a room for Kirby on the Halberd and it would act like his house in Forgotten Land #so he could sleep in there to regain health and also decorate it with collectibles

this school really deserves its impending doom bcs management is soooo tone deaf “but why do our students choose to go to uni in their own city and out of the 2 they choose the non russell group one why aren’t we doing something to support them to aim higher 🤔” could it possibly be that this school is in one of the most deprived areas of the city/nationwide and thats a significant factor affecting academic achievement so students default to the uni w lower entry requirements theyre likely to get into? or maybe that our predominantly immigrant students and their families don’t share the culture of moving out and living independently at 18? that their immigration status and overseas qualifications affect their entry requirements ? that many of them are responsible for their families and don’t want to leave them? that its more affordable to stay home and not be in even more debt by taking out a maintenance loan to stay alive? the girls who aren’t allowed to leave home before marriage? what a truly confounding phenomenon that our students don’t go to a russell group uni it must be a very bad look that we get 90% students in higher education or formal training after college but not the ‘best’ choice. But what do i know i guess !

#p #theres no institutional racism and no racial and ethnic segregation here guys don’t worry. our students have equal opportunities! #unreal how tone deaf that whole email was #asking what we’re doing wrong where we’re going wrong #as if its no achievement to consistently send off students to uni regardless of status or rank #and like we have loads of students who Do move out and go to very good unis and even oxbridge #loads of students going into medicine and engineering and law #and loads of students whom we had to fight and advocate for to their families to even allow them to go to uni!!!!!! #you’re looking at one of the shittest areas and one of the shittest schools and acting like we’re getting disappointing results #shove your british values up your ass fix your country #on the same note as shitting themselves over ofsted and getting less than a good rating My brothers ofsted is comparing our school to #schools in the posh neighborhoods (some of the most middle upper class areas nationwide also) #and instead of seeing this as an opportunity to challenge standards and place value on everything we do right by our students #they’re trying to get the stats equal to those other schools and its having tangibly adverse effects on achievement engagement and attendanc #i’m sick from frustration with this damn schools leadership u are all shit #they should maybe possibly potentially look at what has actually improved student achievement and whose ideas they were #hint. not the white british leadership team’s #but i digress .

I guess what I’d really like to understand is how come when Trump is in office, the president is an all powerful overlord who can overturn laws with a wave of his hand and anyone who questions him will be executed on sight, but when Biden is in office then the president is just a little guy, he doesn’t actually have any power, he can’t do anything, we’re all asking too much of him and being too critical just because he’s not perfect (he is committing war crimes)

#current events #the thing is I understand when certain domestic things are more of a state by state issue #but when trump was president people were still very loud and brought attention to those issues because it all added to Trump Bad #y’all can’t blame trump for those same issues now that Biden is in office and when people try to call attention to his failures #then we’re being dramatic and immature for expecting the president to be ‘perfect’ #I don’t expect him to be perfect but I expect him to be better than the last one #since that was kind of his only selling point #and I’m gonna lose my goddamn mind if people keep acting like he has no control over the genocide in Gaza #I’m not ‘voting blue no matter who’ for a son of a bitch #who bypasses Congress to send MORE weapons to Israel #literally the bare minimum would be him NOT sending weapons to Israel #but he has no power right :( he has no real power so he just HAS to send them more weapons :((( #shut the fuck up oh my godddd

best friend decided to move abroad next year for uni i cried so much i’m going to kill him and then kill myself

#we were all acting like he just told us he has a terminal illness fucking insane #anyways he’s not gonna go through with it all of his long term plans fail eventually #but if he does i don’t know how i’m going to survive that he’s the only person that knows what to say when i’m falling apart and i know how #to handle his moods and we’re identical we’re the same i love him so much i can’t stand the idea of him not being around #look at me crying over a man…

I don't even know where people are getting the totally-canon "implied bisexuality" from.... like maybe I'm dumb but I didn't catch any of that in the show???? Like I'm not against either of them being bi but everyone acts like it was confirmed in canon and I feel so lost lol. It just feels like they're grasping at straws to justify their ship being "queer" (as if that has anything to do with why most people don't like it....) and so they can call anti-huntlows biphobic or whatever.

It’s from this, I believe. Hunter sewed a sweater with a rainbow that has what looks like toned down colours of the Bi flag? And Willow being pan comes from the star by her head having the same colours as the pan flag, despite different shades.

Which I think is reading a little into it, because they use like the exact shades and colours for the Bi flag (and the Lesbian flag which I think appears as a sticker?) in that episode. And again, the people who do the design for things like the sweater Hunter sewed, who would’ve put the rainbow there, don’t necessarily pick out the colours used for those designs. Colour design is a separate job.

#asks #anti huntlow #imo it’s kind of lazy to ‘imply’ sexuality with something easily missed. #you know why we know luz is bi? because it’s actually shown Very Clearly. #I’ve talked about this on my spop blog before but I also don’t think we’re really at the stage of representation #where we can have bi characters in m/f relationships and have them be deemed as Super Progressive Woke Rep #because (esp if it’s not showcased they’re same-sex attracted) it’s just going to read as a straight couple #people who are ✨ against the gays ✨ aren’t gonna give a shit about what they assume is a bunch of hets #I’m not like saying you can’t have bi characters in m/f relationships. that’s fine! but let’s not act like it’s making this huuuuge impact #because we all know the ‘impact’ would be bigger if the couple was same-sex (I.e toh getting fucking cancelled for luzmity)

All the posts on f1s Instagram and Twitter are obviously a bit much, but I don’t think Natalie’s comment about Daniel has anything to do with PR. He’s the godfather to her son and they’re very close, of course she’s going to be happy he’s back on the grid.

Yes ofc naturally but I that comment she used was the same one or around the same lines that Martin used last season to say without Daniel on the grid there is v littler personality, the same with people commenting about how DTS is going to boring without him cause he’s funny. These two platforms are the same ones that reduce down the personality of other drivers (including Max and Lando).

Some people seem to have taken my post ott. I understand Daniel getting the hype but it’s too much for a driver who lost his seat because he wasn’t good enough. the same people posting and commenting were the same ones who never spoke about the abuse Oscar or Lando got due to it and are happy it seems with the way Red Bull done it.

#look like I don’t mind Daniel tbh #but acting like having a good personality means you should have a seat is mental #and everyone seems to forget the hate Oscar and Lando we’re getting due to DTS and their hero worship of Daniel #they did the same thing to Max just because Max was better #anon

maybe it’s just because I spend a lot of time looking at fantasy character design and this might be an incredibly mean thing to say but I am NOT impressed by the galadriel design in the new lotr show. like yeah she’s wearing mostly appropriate armor?? good for her???? it’s pretty boring idk

#$1 billion and you can’t afford to like. jazz it up a bit #i also don’t see what everyone is freaking out over considering her armor has the same silhouette as a gown #yeah yeah some armor looks like that whatever #like ‘breaking the gender roles of fantasy’ besties she is still effectively wearing a skirt #which is fine but like. don’t act like we’re breaking new ground here. #obviously like. art and putting that design on a real person are two separate things but also #especially in comparison to the og movies. boy howdy does it look cheap #like it looks unreal if that makes sense and not in a mystical magical elf way #it looks cheap. the armor in the movies had so much more feel to it if that makes sense #it looked lived in and real #lotr #no hate to her actress idk anything about her so I don’t have any like. issues with her yet lol

These two days are going to be actual hell on earth

#I’m actually so fucking anxious about going to see my family #like it’s always nerve wracking and over stimulating and miserable #but I haven’t seen them since January #and they’re all acting super excited and like it’s gonna be fun but ik it’s gonna be the same it always is #which is tense and weird and awkward because we don’t talk to each other and know we don’t like each other #and I’m even MORE nervous than usual this time because I got a tattoo on my forearm since I last saw them #it’s a tattoo I can’t cover up that none of them know about #and I’m like what if this is it? what if this is the last straw for them? #and this is what finally leads to it all boiling over and them going ‘we KNOW you’re a lesbian and we KNOW you don’t go to church and we’re #NOT going to ignore it anymore because you did this PERMANENT THING that goes against our beliefs’ #and then I will have a reaction to that. I’m not even sure what reaction but there will Be one #or will my mother and grandmother’s intense denial and desire for everything to be like it was when I was kid win out? #will they sweep it under the rug and not acknowledge it like everything else and pretend it’s all fine and we’re a big happy family #and I’m not going to hell and living a sinful life? #and my fucking sister is messaging me about meeting her bf #as if this matters. as if we’re close. as if it has any bearing on anything #as if I will still be an actual part of this family by the time she’s old enough to get married #uuugggghhhhhhhh #part of me wants it to go great and be nice and actually have a decent relationship #but I just know that’s not what is going to happen #and it’s so. blech. gross. ugh #I hate family stuff I wish they’d just hurry up and disown me so at least I know where we all stand #I’ve got t minus four days to finish mentally preparing #kaz rambles

I feel like self-care culture is super unhealthy sometimes tbh. But especially with people my age

Sure doing your skincare routine is fun, but when 18 year olds are panicking because they didn’t start using sun cream and retinol everyday when they were younger, it’s just unbelievably fucked up.

#i feel like we’re forcing ourselves to act like adults and being scared that we don’t look like children at the same time #like the entire romanticism of the “that girl” trend #idk it feels gross #and off #and I def need to educate myself more on this #but seriously #it’s so fucked up #gwendols rambles #self care #skincare #makeup

homestuck AU where vriska goes to therapy

#sasha #i recently reread the scene where terezi meets aranea and wow vriska has mental health issues #reading that scene again was just like ‘wow this kid genuinely thinks that horrific violence is a normal part of relating to other people’ #she literally blinds her best friend and then is like ‘now we’re even & can go back to normal! ::::)’ #she clearly enjoys being friends with terezi but she blinds her anyway because she doesn’t know any other way to interact with people #vriska serket my poor little meow meow with untreated NPD and ASPD #like it’s not just that she expects terezi to forgive her for that it’s that she is ready to forgive terezi #(not that i remember every detail of that whole revenge cycle so i’m not actually sure why she was mad at terezi) #like she just. very much thinks that violence is normal and doesn’t understand why other people don’t accept it the same way she does #all of alternian society is structured to encourage this but because she’s a highblood she relates to it differently than say sollux #the lower bloods have a sense of solidarity. they recognize that the system they live in isn’t fair because it disadvantages them #and terezi is just 1 tier lower than vriska but she has closer relationships with karkat and nepeta and iirc tavros and aradia #and probably has a better understanding of alternia’s legal system & therefore is in a better position to notice its flaws #vriska has a ‘friendship’ with tavros characterized by her tormenting him because she thinks that’s how life works #she thinks people need to toughen up and that she’s doing him a favor by being so rough #and i think tavros buys into that too to some degree #but like. she seriously thinks she’s being kind to him! she seriously thinks that she’s naturally better than him and her abuse is an act #of charity

S/amwena stans will act like CW SupernaturaI intentionally kept a heterosexual romance plot in subtext and it’s honestly really funny

#I genuinely don’t care if people ship them but they were canonically just friends 😭 #Anything else is just frankly heteronormative I’m sorry #You are the exact people who can’t let male and female characters just vibe #I mean just think about what Rowena was put through with GabrieI and Ketch. This is the calibre of m/f we’re dealing with lol #Think about all the random women Sam has kissed at the end of an episode #If they were meant to be canonically so in love with each other I can’t stress this enough.. they would have been #He was like her little protege and she was very fond of him and cared for him deeply but it’s so categorically not romantic to me #Every scene I see S*mwena shippers lose their minds about is just literally not evidence of anything more than friendship #Even the scene where Sam hallucinates her bleeding him to death which is supposed to be “sexual” apparently? Is just #I mean 1. that is not Rowena it’s a figment of Sam’s imagination and 2. said figment is literally killing him #Maybe people are just joking about that one though lmfao idk #Then again these are usually the same people who think Dean beating Cas within an inch of his life was “sexually charged” so 😐 #Anyway I’m aware how shipping works and evidence of friendship is very much fuel for that which is why as I said it’s not the #fact that people ship them itself that bothers me. Just people who act like it’s canon and furthermore that it was “hetbaited” #Or intentionally relegated to subtext. Because that is just silly #And I can’t help but be annoyed that the notion that Rowena was in love with Sam is just so automatically accepted #Let her live. Let ME live #My posts #And that I’ll get anons being like “oh but wasn’t Rowena in love with Sam” like it’s canon #and not a matter of someone’s personal shipping preferences #Imagine if I went to random blogs and said “oh but wasn’t Cas in love with Crowley” like people would laugh so hard at that #Because he wasn’t! It’s not canon it’s a headcanon it’s a shipping thing #And I know that. I wish more people knew that
