pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

TV Executives: “if the strike goes on, you won’t get new episodes of your favorite shows! You won’t get new movies you were looking forward to! Isn’t that terrible, what the writers are doing to you?”

Me: Bitch, that might have been an effective threat in 2007, but we have since survived a Covid shutdown and discovered ways to amuse ourselves while we waited, we can outwait this shit, too. I got a pile of shows saved I haven’t even watched yet, and a Mt. TBR waiting for me.

Compensate (and respect) your writers for their work, assholes.

I've seen a fair amount of fat liberation activists explain that they have always been fat, they're not about to stop, and that's natural and beautiful and fine. That's an incredibly important message.

What I've seen less - and what I want to remind people of - is this: if you've become fat, that's also natural and beautiful and fine.

When you're a fat person who has been thin in the past, that comes with its own brand of shaming. People take your history of thinness as proof that you don't have to be fat. You often fear the look of disappointed surprise in the eyes of someone you haven't met since you were thin. People try to determine "what happened". They don't see your fat body as just you, but as a sort of symptom that isn't part of you.

Becoming fat is not a tragedy, it's not a sign of failure, it's not a bad or shameful thing. The thin you is not the Real you. You are always real and always worthy of freedom, respect and peace. You are allowed to be fat no matter how or when you became fat.

I don't advocate violence, but EVERY SINGLE employee still at Twitter has an opportunity to do the funniest thing in history this March 15.

I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.

"No one can love you until you love yourself" is like the worst possible way of articulating "if you don't respect and value yourself, it's very easy to become attracted to people who don't treat you right and then justify their mistreatment, so be careful."

I don’t know which is funnier: the possibility that everyone thinks Shane Madej is a demon when really he’s just a weird guy who obsessively wants to turn into a little mouse and live a little mouse life, OR the possibility that Shane Madej is actually a demon that came to earth to embody a human, and this demon has genuine desires to become a little mouse and live a little mouse life. 

The Shane Madej lore is wack

That boy ain’t right

[thepurplebutterflythings]

he misses him... oh my god

[thepurplebutterflythings]

We know that he was WONDERFUL and a DREAMER

Puppet History had two modes:

"Here is an amazing woman (or two!), left out of history by manbabies butthurt that she was cooler than them."

"Here is some fucked-up shit that happened."

Women, if your guy acts like this LEAVE HIM.
