hm... okay... filing that away for later.
me: wow i wonder what the mating rituals are of various insects in the area
the wise and misandrist praying mantis:
i actually think it's rly cool for people getting an abortion to joke about the abortion, and it's not tasteless or bad. btw. they are allowed to joke about it. and it's funny.
ok this post is about this tweet i saw and found fucking hilarious:
idk if y'all have had this experience but the way cis women talk about hormone cycles triggers my fight or flight response. feels like half the time i see something about your cycle is either an advertisement for an app that tracks and sells your pussy data or thinly veiled "women belong in the kitchen because our wombs are synchronized with the divine hearth" propaganda. straight up gives me the heebie jeebies
#yeah like some info is genuinely helpful to know#like your strength and energy levels can fluctuate based on your cycle#which can be helpful to know if you work out to know when to maybe go easy on yourself and whatnot#but i have seen some weird shit esp on tiktok that’s advocating essentially to structure your entire life and routines around your hormones#definitely one of the most bizarre forms i’ve seen gender essentialism take on
YES this is the shit I'm talking about. i saw some woman on Insta doing yoga while doing a big announcement how she had to go offline for her luteal cycle... like do whatever you want god bless etc. it is good to be aware of your body & how it affects your mental state and all that. but this all just feels so sinister, the way hormone phases are treated like God's plan for your life? i do not like anything that promotes the idea that "females" are controlled by their hormones and our actions should be directly based on our cycles. & it's always "divine feminine" "law of attraction" cis women saying this shit. heebie! jeebies!
the classic Finnish mix of extreme dutifulness and “we will make actual conversation after a silent interaction trial period of 6 weeks, thank you” can be really funny sometimes. told my coworker that I’d like to save the coffee grounds the workplace generated and take them home “for my mushrooms and worms” and she was just like “okei” and dutifully saved every single grounds-filled filter for weeks and weeks. about five weeks into this whole thing, after I thank her for the coffee grounds and tell her my worms must love them because they’re breeding very enthusiastically, she finally asks “so your worms… do they have a purpose or are they just… worms”. like sure I’ll save you all these coffee grounds every single time I drink coffee, 3+ times a day, but god forbid I inquire about your specific worm habits before propriety allows it. you could be eating them for breakfast for all I know but that’s your business
this post has been up for so long I’m at a new workplace now, and here’s a new one: someone finally getting a close enough look at the jar of homemade nut butter I’d been using to make snacks for days (in a reused jar, still with the pesto label on it), realising the contents were not as advertised, and saying with poorly concealed relief “ai!!! you weren’t spreading pesto on bananas!” like she’d been quietly dying inside the whole time but had grimly committed herself to never ever presuming to ask wtf was going on
congrats, this is so cursed and the best addition someone has made to this post
#i’m not gonna lie i feel like a lot of people online could do with a dose of this type of finnishness #y'know. the ‘i have no idea what you’re doing and it seems really weird but it’s not my business to pry and also you do you’ attitude
