Teach your children how to deal with emotions in a constructive way. I wish I had done this with my children.

a terf? that's someone who hates men, right? transmisogyny? yeah we experience that too, it's a flavor of misandry I assure you. feminism? it's been good and bad at the same time, I wanna say! too many times it left men behind. patriarchy? yeah it sucks. it's like 5 rich people who force men not to cry and hide their emotions. and oppresses women who are also complicit in it as mothers I guess.

Free Palestine protesters shut down the Golden Gate Bridge and 880 freeway in Oakland. This is huge🫡

reminder that coming up with some fake little dudes and creating intricate storylines in your head is a completely free and fun way to pass the time and the government can't stop you

when the autism is being an actual mental health problem instead of making me obsess over fictional characters again:

the humble "like" is oft mocked despite what it does for us. "like, three people" is a vastly different statement from "three people". "and i was like 'what the fuck'" is vastly different from "and i said 'what the fuck'". i love you "like" and anyone who says you make people sound stupid will be killed on sight

Actually, the most realistic part of Quinni’s experience as an autistic person in s2 of Heartbreak High (for me at least) is how quick everyone is to switch up on her.

The fact that she goes from ohhhhh Quinni’s so sweet and she just wants to make everyone happy and sure she’s “a bit weird” but she makes people feel better when they’re around her to her asserting her feelings literally ONE TIME and suddenly she’s too dramatic and the world can’t play by her rules.

people in the notes of that boycott post acting like academia is this wholly separate thing from the state lmfao. this is an even more insane claim to make about the social sciences, which are one of the main faculties being boycotted. what social scientific research do you think is being produced in a settler colonial state actively conducting genocide? like there is such a wildly out of touch perception that social scientists & humanities academics are these vanguards of progressivism holding the hordes of ignorant conservatives at bay. the decades-old reactionary claim that the university is a commie hive-mind has been fully internalised by the general population. social science departments are some of the most right wing places I’ve ever worked in precisely because they are an extension of the state. whether they’re publicly or privately funded, research grants and student funding and hiring decisions and research agendas and equipment purchases and conferences and software licensing are structured to accommodate the desires of the people who fund them. the fact that they do a land acknowledgement before teaching you how to produce optimal statistical models and crime maps for local police departments doesn’t mean these places are somehow less materially implicated in oppression. academia is an intellectual arm of the state and the only moral response to israel committing unprecedented levels of violence murder and destruction is to said arm of the state

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.

if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.
