It's still so strange to me how apparently taboo it is to like a post on someone's Instagram from a month ago when there are posts still circulating on Tumblr from 1550 BCE

i wonder if french people ever look at england and send a silent prayer of gratefulness to heaven for having gotten the revolution out of the way before the whole institution turned into a beloved novelty tourist attraction to view the world's largest hookworm

I don't know who needs to hear this but you've probably got vegetables in your fridge that are starting to go a little off so you should probably plan on making a frittata or a pot of soup in the next couple days.

The reason Poles on here are trying to get you to call Maria Skłodowska*-Curie by her proper name isn't because we're entitled or arrogant, it's because she used the name Skłodowska-Curie, she emphasised her Polishness her whole life, she faced huge amounts of xenophobia in France for being Polish, and now a lot of people think she was French.

*The pronounciation of Skłodowska is skwo-DOV-ska

if you feel so inclined, put in the tags what you voted, where youre from, and if you refer to it as “brinner” (as opposed to “breakfast for dinner”)

#brinner is literally my favorite

So, just curious how many writers and creators will have to be forcibly outed by relentless harassment before we acknowledge that "This queer characters was written by a cishet person and that's why they're bad" is not good criticism.

I feel like it's time for Hetalia fans to move on from calling Hetalia and its fandom trash. If you don't like it, why are you here? This fandom isn't unique in having problems, yet so many fans act as if we're the single worst, most embarrassing fandom with the most embarrassing series in existence. It wasn't meant to be a documentary, get over it.

It's silly, and honestly the people who are so ashamed are the ones that are embarrassing. I've told multiple random anime fans I liked Hetalia and you know what happened? They either thought nothing of it or said, "Oh, Hetalia! I remember that!" with amusement and even fondness. I've gone to cons and Disney in Hetalia cosplay and the people who recognised me were only ever positive. I've explained the concept of Hetalia to various people and no one batted an eye. The personified nations concept isn't new. And you know, there are some pretty questionable historical depictions out there, too, so it's not like we're the only strange ones. Are there Hetalia antis out there? Of course. But why even feed them?

If you're so freaked out by the idea of being associated with Hetalia, then either you're the embarrassing one, you need to get better friends who will respect you, or you need to stop caring about the opinions of judgemental people. You know what's cool, though? Owning what you like and being the representation of the fandom you want to see. Basically, just...be a mature person and learn how to explain your interests without dragging everyone else into your own insecurities.

I think it's okay to express opinions, but I don't feel it's fair to generalise or outright bash something in front of a bunch of people who might enjoy that thing.

Found this in the comments of Shaun's latest video on Andrew Tate, in which he talks pretty extensively about how important it is for men to find ways to be confident in their genders without trying to adhere to, or enforce, anyone else's ideas of manhood on anyone.

Highly recommend checking it out.

Anyway. I rarely see folks talk about the positive impact transmascs have on manhood as a whole, and I think it's important to acknowledge and celebrate that.
