Listen if the study of ancient humans doesn’t make you at least a little bit emotional idk what to say.
I started crying today at the museum because they had reconstructed the shoes of Otzi the iceman.
Either he or someone he knew who cared about him made these shoes out of grass and bear skin and twine and he was wearing them when he died over five thousand years ago.
And a Czech researcher and his students did reconstructions of these shoes and wore them to the same place where he died to test them out and they were like yep! These shoes are really cozy and comfy and didn’t give us blisters while hiking!
my 2022 highlight was when a guy was driving me home after a date and his phone was playing songs on youtube thru the aux on autoplay BUT he was also using it as a satnav so we had to just cope with whatever song came on. anyway we listened to the isolated vocals for "eye of the tiger" in silence because neither of us acknowledged it and it got to a certain point where it would be even weirder if one of us did say something
/edit: I realise a text post doesn't even do it justice, it went exactly like this
can’t exactly pinpoint where this train of thought is going but there is something deeply insidious about how for years and years, women have been victim-blamed for having their intimate photos leaked because they “accepted the risk when they took the photos” and now we live in a world where we dont even have to fucking take nudes to have our nudes leaked
And as you can guess, the video is absolutely awful, and the speaker uses a study with bisexual women to claim that “SeXuAliTy iS FlUiD” and not innate.
A lot of the comments that praised this video were of course bisexuals, and religious nuts.
This is what feminists mean when we talk about pedophile culture. Why does the filter make her look like a max. 12 years old? Why does she use it? Why is the rest of her body clearly of an adult woman? Is it because she simply likes it? Or because this kind of look generates the most traffic? And why does looking like this generate so much traffic?
This is in no means an attack on the way she looks.
He was/is an MRA before he transitioned and claims women live life on easy mode, and are not oppressed. This is more for me because I couldn't believe someone could be so self absorbed and delusional but he is a man so.
really tired of women’s clothes (or rather, “feminine clothes”) being described as “flirty”. like, “a fun, flirty dress for the summer” and it’s a midi length dress with ruffles or some shit. what about clothing is flirty? like i know it’s intended to be a style and not an actual invitation, but it still bothers me & feeds into the whole “what was she wearing” thing
