we need more masculine clothing designed to show off tits
this was about butch women but im glad u guys are having fun with ur star trek men
the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
“I’m just a girl” first of all you’re a grown ass woman second of all free yourself
Just let that sink in.
thats why the vietnam war was the last war ever televised
Chelsea Manning went to jail trying to show people the extend of the atrocities American commits overseas. I watched some of the leaked footage. I think some of the worst of it was a drone bombing of a wedding in Yemen, then a day later America bombed the funeral of those killed at the wedding. Ambulances and first response units (which are protected under international law), were being bombed. People trying to take shelter were being bombed.
And that’s just drones, which is to say nothing for the numerous illegal black sites America operates around the world. Or the effects of using white phosphorus, which will continue to burn as long as oxygen is present and melts human tissues. That was used in Fallujah, which was a blood-bath from start to finish.
Which is why I have zero trust in the military, both American and British, because this is just some of the stuff we know about.
People in the countries y'all invade have been telling you what Yank soldiers do while overseas, you don’t need to imagine if you take the time to listen to them.
every us military base has a prison. that is at least 800 prisons around the world. before you even get into cia blacksites.
“There were approximately ten demonstrators near a tank [outside an Iraqi military compound eight kilometres from Baghdad airport]. We heard a shot in the distance and we started shooting at them. They all died except for one. We left the bodies there… The survivor was hiding behind a column about 150 metres away from us. I pointed at him and waved my weapon to tell him to get away. Half of his foot had been cut off. He went away dragging his foot. We were all laughing and cheering.
“Then an 18-wheeler [truck] came speeding around. We shot at it. One of the guys jumped out. He was on fire. The driver was dead. Then a Toyota Corolla came. We killed the driver, the other guy came out with his hands up. We shot him too.
“A gunny [gunnery sergeant from Lima Company came running and said to us: ‘Hey, you just shot that guy, but he had his hands up.’ My unit, my commander and me were relieved of our command for the rest of the day. Not more than five minutes later, Lima Company took up our position and shot a car with one woman and two children. They all died… In a month and a half, my platoon killed more than thirty civilians…
“[Iraqis] would see us debase their dead all the time. We would be messing around with charred bodies, kicking them out of them of the vehicles and sticking cigarettes in their mouths. I also saw vehicles drive over them. It was our job to look into the pockets of dead Iraqis to gather intelligence. However, time and time again I saw Marines steal gold chains, watches and wallets full of money.”
- Staff Sergeant (Ret’d) Jimmy Massey, USMC, about the actions of the 7th Marines in early April 2003. Quoted by Natashia Saulnier in “The Marine’s Tale,” The Independent, May 5, 2004.

This is just one command of the Marines. Imagine all the others. We tell you but you don’t listen, and that’s on you.
If i ever met a person that listened to music i think I would kill them with my bare hands, no hesitation

Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol
As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.
So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.
Seriously, this is extremely Rosa Parks coded. Good looking, religious college girl. It's the whole playbook. She also added this selfie.
I support her and hope this goes as well as it can.
Mulder and Scully are sitting in their car and they're both thinking "am I a lesbian" and neither of them will say it. Mulder stays in the egg zone because being a woman "seems like a lot of effort," failing to realize that trans women can be butch & Scully likes to pretend she's simply career driven with no time for a man. But there's still that inexplicable longing. Their weird little tension. X files is yuri to me
I want to stress that if Mulder ever transitioned she would look exactly the same. Mulder already looks like those 90s butches. You know.

lumon's department sizes are so funny. "how many people do we need to refine some super important data?" uhhhh four i guess. at most. "what about the company marching band?" fuck ur so right. we need a company marching band with like fifty people. this is of prime importance to the lumon mission.
this line delivery has lived in my head for 10 years
earnestly I think the spread of the paradigm that someone is either abuser or abused, either privileged or oppressed, either exploiter or exploited, and that this is a mathematically calculable measure of ideological purity, has done more to damage basic capacity for left wing organising than just about anything else in the modern era bar active surveillance and union busting
I never thought I'd make it to 18 what do you mean I'm gonna be 25 this year
any advice for someone who isn't really that interesting?
you weren’t put on this earth to entertain people. live your life as a boring bitch to the fullest.

Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?
The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.
These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.
These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.
Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.
Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.
