Feminist As Fuck

Me: misses the charging port while trying to plug my phone in

The bbc sherlock who lives in my head:

Hate diet culture so much bitches will b like “don’t eat processed carbs they’re so bad for you” like and??? So what?? God did not give us grain and stone to grind it with for no reason. Bread is inevitable. Bread is food for the heart and the soul. U think I’m gonna give that up in pursuit of instagram fitness?? U think I’m gonna deny myself the simple pleasure of toast with jam so I can endlessly chase an ever-shifting standard of beauty that ultimately means nothing? In 20 years I will no longer be beautiful and in 60 my body will be vacant food for other, smaller creatures. But the taste of fresh bread? Of homemade donuts and still-warm pie? I will carry the taste on my tongue into whatever follows this life. So like. Stop telling me I should diet lmao. I’m not abt to martyr myself just to get a man to look at me.

Tony Hawk is like fucking Perry the Platypus because if I saw him without a skateboard I'd be like "A man" and the second he picks up a skateboard I'd be like "TONY HAWK?!?!?!?!?!"

This basically sums up all his tweets

me as a juror

[ID: Marge from The Simpsons in a store thinking and then shrugging. The subtitles read “What you’re saying is so understandable. And really, your only crime was violating U.S. law.”]

in the US, if you as a juror believe that a defendant has done the right thing despite breaking the law and should not be punished, you can try to convince your fellow jurors to vote "not guilty" no matter how much evidence is stacked against them. it's called jury nullification and prosecutors don't want you to know about it, which is all the more reason to learn.

August 27 2020 - Protesters demanding a $30 minimum wage for Amazon workers set up a guillotine in front of one of Jeff Bezos’ homes, after he became the first person to have hoarded over 200 billion dollars. “Give a good reason why we don’t deserve a $30 an hour minimum wage when this man makes $4,000 a second,” an organizer and former Amazon employee said. [video]

@ liberals in the comments trying to argue that $30 is too high,

inflation doesn’t collapse all of society just because some workers are paid more

your $15 proposal was a far-left demand from 12 years ago and has been denied by your party until recently. It’s too late for it to be a worthy demand

the minimum wage has to be $20 nationally to meet the fair-market-rate for a 1 bedroom apartment

Jeff Bezos is worth $200, 000, 000, 000. Why are you telling exploited workers that their demands for a livable wage are unrealistic? Go canvas for Biden and shut up about Amazon workers protesting that the person who makes $4,000 A SECOND can’t pay his workers $30 / hour for labor that his company depends on

Clueless (1995) dir. Amy Heckerling

I’m watching the March on Washington and I’ve heard one Black woman’s name which was Breonna Taylor. They are even chanting #SayHisName. Breaks my heart that this movement was reduced to Cis Black men ONLY.

Breonna, Tarika, Sandra, Mia, Korryn, Atatiana, Aura, Michelle, Janisha, Tanisha, Aiyana, Kathryn, Alberta, Pamela and the 100s of Black women who lost their lives at the hands of police brutality, I am saying your names FOREVER. You are not forgotten. I love you sisters.

These are MAILBOXES being removed by flatbed trucks all around the country! This is happening RIGHT FUCKING NOW! Jesus Christ, do everything you can to get everyone you know to VOTE THIS CORRUPT, EVIL MOTHERFUCKING ADMINISTRATION OUT!! 

Note: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez graduated Cum Laude from Boston University. 

Wasn’t she working as a bar tender before she got elected?

Folks on the right always seem very concerned that AOC was a bartender. They ignore her prestigious education and the fact that she graduated with distinction. They ignore that she has relevant degrees. And they ignore that she worked for the nonprofit National Hispanic Institute gaining relevant experience in activism.

I’ve also noticed that conservatives constantly complain about “elites.” They propped up “Joe Six Pack” because they felt too many lawmakers were out of touch and they wanted people who understood the common folk. Blue collar workers are the heart and soul of America, right? 

Did you know that nearly half of congress is filled with lawyers? And the rest are mostly businessmen. What do lawyers know about my life? What do lawyers know about struggling to pay bills? What do lawyers know about what it’s like to hold a low wage job? How are they supposed to represent me and my needs?

Do you know why AOC worked as a bartender? Her father died and her mother’s jobs as a house cleaner and bus driver were not enough to fight foreclosure. So Alexandria put her career ambitions on hold and got a job as a bartender to help her mom. Conservatives are all about “family values” right? AOC valued her family so much that she worked a grueling job out of love for her mom. 

And you want to trivialize that?  

AOC knows my struggle more than Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. I have confidence that AOC will represent me and my family’s needs more so than any lawyer or businessman who is just looking to enrich themselves. 

Maybe we need a few more bartenders and a few less lawyers. 

Republicans: “Work hard and get a better job, snowflake” AOC: *works hard and gets a better job* Republicans: “N-No, not like that”

7.26.20, DC

DC protests have continued for 2 months nonstop against police violence and for Black Lives. Despite having a population greater than Vermont or Wyoming, DC’s statehood remains controversial among Republicans who can’t keep control of the government without multiple forms of voter suppresion.

Same in Portland and Seattle

and NYC.

And Atlanta

Protests have continued in Chicago and Louisville too, but with less media coverage since they’re not as white as Portland and national media has a NY bias
