You can't prove I did it.

tbh on some level i do think it becomes a myth that most women dress seductively for themselves. if you ask a skinny beautiful woman why she likes to wear uncomfortable heels and tiny skirts and hours worth of makeup and hair styling she says it makes her feel confident. why does it make someone feel confident? itโ€™s because she knows she looks desirable. who is she desirable to? men, mostly, because her โ€œpersonal styleโ€ lines up with patriarchal femininity. like once you dig a little bit into the โ€œwhyโ€ part choice feminism becomes misogyny in a barbie pink package. obviously iโ€™m not saying the only way out of patriarchy is to stop being effeminate at all, but the fact of the matter is that strictly conforming to what men want from you is never and can never be feminist, and that the reason for doing so is almost never truly about personal comfort and independent choice. you, self described office siren, would you dress that way if you worked from home? would you dress that way if it was guaranteed with 100% confidence that nobody will ever see you like that? the intention is right in the name of the trend: to attract menโ€™s attention. like itโ€™s so fucking silly to act like any of this is empowering or a free choice. iโ€™m not stupid. you may be stupid enough to think youโ€™re doing it for Yourself but i certainly am not

I feel like... if we wanted factory jobs to come back to America, we would have to have the factories here.

Also, are you working in the factory or are you owning the factory? Like in this rugged American fantasy where the man breaks his back for the company, are you the man who broke his back or are you the one that denies his workman's comp? Are you reaping or are you sowing? Would you put your hands in the dirt with us?

I was transed by the eye-witness book about mummies.

Okay, but they had this blurb about this mummy that they found from first-century Alexandria that they thought was female because its wrappings are clearly designed to suggest a woman's body, but then they x-rayed it and determined that it was biologically male, and as a kid it just got my brain working about why anyone would do that and how I kind of wanted them to do that with my body after I died and why did I kind of want that and...

Yeah. I got my egg cracked by the mummified corpse of a transgender woman who lived and died 2,000 years before I was born.

โ€œif future archaeologists dig up your bones theyโ€™ll know you were born a -โ€œ haha yeah they better! Iโ€™m gonna crack someoneโ€™s egg in the year 3320 and nobody can stop me!!

It's so weird to me when people are like 'but that will cost the government money!' So what? They're the government, they're supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.
