It’s me, Darwin. (He/Him)

It’s so funny to imagine Wicked from the perspective of one of the normal students at Shiz. There’s this girl and she’s weird and an overachieving nerd and no one likes her, but then the popular girl becomes best friends with her overnight so you guess she’s chill now. They might be sleeping together but no one’s really sure. They’re also low key dating the same guy but you’re not clear on if it’s a polycule situation or a love triangle. Whatever. You’re just trying to study for finals. Your history teacher gets arrested and no explains why. You just hope this won’t effect your grade in the class. The weird nerdy girl gets a letter from the president inviting her to come see him. Wow, that’s exciting. She and her maybe-girlfriend go off to the capitol and you go back to homework and dorm room parties. One day later one of your professors is on the national radio saying that the weird nerdy girl, who used to be her favorite student, is now a terrorist, has stolen the nuclear codes, and is on the run from the government. You are still expected to show up to class tomorrow.

TERF Website.

I’m not going to stop beating people over the head for preferring to feed their pointless fucking nostalgia over not supporting a Holocaust-Denying TurboBigot who’s made it her life’s work to use every millions of dollars and her entire online presence to terrorize and criminalize trans women out of existence.

All her works do is get more and more and more bigoted, and so does she. The tolerance people have for it shows that they do not care for minorities. She talks tirelessly about how she hates minorities, they just look away and act like their twee little ‘reclamations’ of the series where Harry Potter is gay mean anything. She talks endlessly about how she views literally any endorsement of her work as endorsement for her views and they plug their ears and act like that’s not true. They cast a Black man as Snape and the fandom started cheering. I hope everyone here dies.

People straight up do not realize that part of the reason manufacturing is not returning to the United States in massive waves is because we have things like “OSHA” and “environmental laws” and “minimum wages.”

It’s not even just about fair wages. It’s literally about the fact that you can’t dump industrial waste in a river here anymore.

Our cheap goods are so cheap because South American and Asians environments are being destroyed so you can buy a $40 pair of shoes every 3 months.

Cutting granite countertops has lead to a rapid increase in silicosis in the lungs out in California. All the working men and women in my family have died from pulmonary fibrosis. They were carpet layers, Post office workers, floor tilers. Staying safe in manufacturing jobs is annoying but also very, very expensive. Real manufacturing factories belch smoke and dust and grime that causes asthma and birth defects in surrounding communities. Everyone wants their manufacturing jobs back until they realize their kids are living directly under the Asthma Plant.

There will come a time when the workers in these countries rise up and demand better and things will start to even out, but if you want to honestly “do your part,” you gotta stop buying cheap shit for no reason.

Not every event needs to be celebrate with a baseball cap or a coozie or a t shirt or a keychain. Not every wall in the house has to have a picture or a cute phrase on it. The knickknacks are killing people.

Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:

- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain

- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck

- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap

- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill

- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard

- When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style

Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.

this is the greatest advertisement of our culture ive ever seen

shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply

  • "how dare you say we piss on the poor" in response to someone misinterpreting your post
  • "_ isnt gonna fuck you" for suck up behavior
  • "woah. should we tell everyone? should we throw a party?" for who the fuck cares
  • "and what if the world was made of pudding" for when would this ever matter.
  • "and sharks are smooth both ways" for a group of people heatedly arguing with 1 guy who is fucking with them all
  • ".. but its about a witch in the alps finding her lost cat" for someone trying to sanitize something to the point of absurdity

this is prime proof that this ENTIRE WEBSITE is autistic because nowhere else would a no tags post that's just an informative list about slang get this much traction.

anyway more addittions

  • “30-50 wild hogs” for someone making ABSURD excuses for violence.
  • “what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament” for how do you know that without being a part of it.
  • “anyone in this thread smoke weed” for the shit you people are saying is so off topic this might as well be a general discussion forum
  • “dogs are boys and cats are girls” for ooh ur mindset did not grow past 4th grade, huh
  • “color theory in a childrens hospital” for bending over backwards to not agree that YEA, that thing Came Off Weird
  • “you are a tar pit” for someone finding any reason to respond with outrage.
  • “is the __ in the room with us right now?” for I Don’t Think That’s Real.
  • “bean soup? im allergic to beans!” for ik this doesn’t work for you, but that’s not a flaw. not everything can be for you.
  • “people irl: hey man hows it going” for this will Never Matter irl

Don't forget "and then everybody clapped" for calling "fake" on a heartwarming story about getting to put someone in their place with a sick burn

posting this for no particular reason

I'm gonna be real explicit because some of y'all are dumb as rocks. If we don't pay for their overpriced bullshit, they will have to make it be more reasonably priced bullshit. Do not buy $70-$80 video games. Don't fucking do it. I don't care that you own every Mario kart and Mario party and Zelda game and that's what you base your personality around. You're gonna have an identity crisis for like 2 months and then they'll lower the prices because we all did good and didn't buy them, and then you can have your favorite piece of shit game, ok?

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

I like my protagonists sad, tired, bitter, fully convinced they will never get the recognition they deserve, but they still gotta get up in the morning and be a good person

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP SCIENTISTS AT THE SCHMIDT OCEAN INSTITUTE HAVE FOOTAGE OF A LIVE COLOSSAL SQUID FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑‼️🦑

for context, scientists have know about these mfs for like a HUNDRED YEARS but only now have they actually seen one ALIVE !!

🦑‼️

Can't even boycott the last of us, can't even boycott captain america, SOME OF YOU CAN'T EVEN QUIT HARRY POTTER. And then you refuse to read some classic from a guy who's not even around to do any harm because "all the classics were written by white heterosexual men" WHICH IS NOT EVEN TRUE

some of you couldn’t even boycott the minecraft movie

Listening to neolib white girls complain about Appalachia in this class for the past two hours is testing me. Rich white women's greatest bastion of creativity is finding socially acceptable ways to villify and condescend to impoverished people

"Yes, I view the most poverty-stricken areas of the United States with the highest proportion of black people per capita as hives of social degeneracy and unironically think we as a society would benefit from wiping them off the face of the earth. I am very woke!"

APPALACHIA APOLOGY FORM

Reason for behavior: ✅I have never been invited to a crawfish boil ✅I was jealous of the natural beauty of their forests, mountains and rivers ✅I'm racist ✅I can't come up with any jokes that aren't about incest ✅I can't catch a flathead catfish ✅I think of my political opponents as subhuman without thinking critically about the socioeconomic factors that would lead to them developing that worldview ✅I just hate poor people
