some of yall don’t understand what human rights mean and it is legitimately worrying how some of you think that if a person is ‘bad’ enough they should have their human rights taken away
Legit heard someone close to me say it’s not dehumanisation if they are inhuman.
That post that’s like “Ummm thoughtcrimes don’t exist but most ppl who say that aren’t talking about thoughts they are literally TALKING about their thoughts and saying thoughts out loud is bad” is the whole reason we have to keep saying that thoughtcrimes don’t exist. Talking about things like your intrusive thoughts, urges, or desires is NOT actually the same as acting on them; thoughts are not something you can control and nobody deserves to be condemned for not suffering in silence because they’ve been convinced their thoughts are unspeakable. If you’re out here promoting acting like a cop about things that don’t even harm you or anyone else then maybe take yourself down to ur local sandwich shop cuz maybe you’ll be less of a cunt when you’re not hungry idk.
It’s EXTREMELY telling how many of you stopped supporting this after “intrusive thoughts” and completely ignored the bit about urges and desires. Not everything “unsavory” has to be excused because of “suffering from intrusive thoughts.” That’s true, some of us are also fucking freaks who unironically enjoy nasty things that others might find uncomfortable. People still deserve spaces to be nasty freaks and they still aren’t committing a crime just because you have a squick. This is why we have tags, blacklisting, and a block button. You don’t have to engage with anything that upsets you; we don’t have to bury our thoughts/feelings that aren’t broadly socially acceptable for you.
I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know
Book I found in the used bookstore where I work. The whole thing looks like this and I have no idea what it’s supposed to be as there’s no clear title either.
This is a problem as it’s in the “to be shelved” pile and I’m the one who’s supposed to figure out where to shelve it.
Okay, it looks like it’s the script for some kind of performance or ceremony? But heavily abbreviated. Like it’s assumed the participants already know the words and just need this as a reminder, like “the next word starts with b… oh right”.
it’s a crib for freemasonic ceremonies
worshipful master: has it a name?
senior deacon (or second degree mb): it has
worshipful master: give it me
etc
Fascinated that this managed to reach someone who recognized it within fifteen minutes of posting. Thank you for your swift identification.
Once you start thinking about humans as a species in a biome, it affects your entire way of looking at normal things.
The other day I referred to female morning joggers as an ‘indicator species’ in that if you see women jogging in the dark it means that the environment provides migration pathways (sidewalks, clear signs) and doesn’t have any known predators of female morning joggers (guy with knife, bear, BigTruck, male morning joggers).
Though, I think that people consider framing humans as animals reacting to their environment as rude.
This tweet snaps against my mind like a rubber band whenever I start idling a little too long in the land of my frivolous doldrums… it’s my version of that Jemima Kirke “you all think about yourselves too much” screenshot
