im always quoting this tweet and am shocked and appalled that it has under 5k likes

I hope this one goes viral the way Vimes’ boots theory did.

what the computer screen sees as i write the most gut-wrenching scenes of my novel

Yes, I am a straight man. Yes, getting the shit beat out of me in an all-male mosh pit is an erotic experience for me. We exist

When I was in Norway at the Gojira show a guy in the pit grabbed me & said “open your mouth”

And I did

He suspected (correctly) that I was dehydrated & was judging by the color of my tongue

But I fully heard “open your mouth” & thought “wow this stranger is going to spit in my mouth”

And then, naturally, I thought “well let’s see where he’s going with this”

#life is a rich tapestry

All jokes about Tumblr being the social media platform of last resort every time another big player shits the bed are gonna stop being funny real fast if we end up getting a big influx of ex-4channers.

it's so fucked up that the last 6 months have lasted 13 years

it’s just this recent wave of “all sexual expression is good even the problematic ones!” is crazy to me like we used to be mad about the song Blurred Lines and call it blatant expression of misogyny and rape apologia, even though it’s art. like i think it’s fine to call shallow misogynist art shallow and misogynist and i think it’s fine to deplatform it

this used to be the SJW site whatever happened to “be intolerant of intolerance” and “3 people having dinner with a nazi is 4 nazis” and “both-sides-ing only aids the oppressor” now everyone is saying shit like Actually 🤓☝️Blurred Lines is a Progressive and Leftist Anthem because it Queers the Status Quo Narrative of Consensual Sex

This is the funniest headline because they used his name like we all know him😭

representing well

how the hell do people work full time AND work out. and also eat. i feel like a dvd player

Unofficial Autism Post

although I find both institutions detestable I think they should force the vatican to compete in the Olympics. let's see what those priests can do

Clean it up hiro….

don’t tell social media if you went to protests or not(especially if you didn’t), don’t give cops an easy way to track down protesters. punk life advice

Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him

Van Hollen: "The Trump Administration is lying about Abrego Garcia"

Whoever wrote this, slayed so hard with all these statements, truer words have never been spoken

I’ll always remember reading Justine Musk’s exposé essay on Elon for the first time. I think this was in 2010. In it she says something like that the men in their milieu operated on one principle in their romantic lives: they were all competing with one another to find the most talented, capable, intelligent, attractive independent woman and then break her into subservience to and dependence on them. Make her have their babies and stay home because “we have enough money so you don’t need to work.”

Later I met some extremely wealthy people and had a first hand view into how true this was. They all treated their trophy wives - talented, capable, bright women - like dogshit. I don’t know if things started out sweet and then changed after marriage or if a lot of these women had traumatic experiences in their past that predisposed them to be tolerant of or susceptible to abuse from the get go. Some of them had their own inherited wealth before the marriage and the money couldn’t have been the sole motivating factor for their acquiescence; maybe their mothers had had the exact same marriages and everything was just to be expected.

It’s interesting seeing this pattern repeat itself with men who really don’t have the means to make big financial promises. The promise for women is serfdom in a tiny, squalid fief, and nobody would choose that given other options, so structurally removing the options is a must.

What both the wealthy men and the poor men who see themselves in wealthy men are missing is how unhappy and unsatisfying their lives are. It’s true that their women and up doing the labor, physically or emotionally, of the household (the rich men pay for nannies and cleaners, but if you don’t call fucking someone who hates you a labor I don’t know what you can call it), and that this allows men to be lazy, but it doesn’t actually allow them to be happy. What it provides is a chance to be miserable without challenge. I guess some men just really want that.

it's because without power over someone, these men have nothing going for them. they are empty joyless husks, and they want to fill that husk with power, because everything else requires them to work on themselves
