The fact that “dolls having a tea party” has stuck around in the public consciousness is fascinating to me.

Like, back in the Old Days that would be a way that women would actually socialize.  So if a girl had a doll tea party, she was imitating her mom / other contemporary women.

But these days contemporary women don’t have tea parties. So now, the idea of “dolls having a tea party” is an echo of an extinct behavior, only repeated and referenced because it used to be so prevalent.

So a Barbie in a big hat themed for a tea party is a bit like if they made Transformers that turned into stagecoaches and horse-drawn buggies.

Part of Apple's new terms include "do not post incorrect things about religious texts" but even scholars of religious texts often disagree on the actual content or intent behind them. Apple has therefore declared itself the arbiter of the true word of God. 🤔

In an unprecedented turn of events—after centuries of division, Apple Incorporated has single-handedly mended the Great Schism and resolved the East-West crisis of 1054.

so, here's the thing. tumblr/apple can ban as many words as they want and it will never achieve their goal of "cleaning up" this site because this wretched nonsense poetry is somehow now the single dirtiest thing I have ever read in my life and honestly thank god.

sorry

Don't apologize for greatness.

are men okay?

NO

my husband told me, after many years of being together, that when he was about 7 a teacher used to single him out for being disrespectful at school. Apparently his disrespectful offense was “smirking” too much???? So he got punished for smiling???? And eventually just trained himself to stop smiling so this teacher would leave him alone???? And that’s why he has such a stoic facial expression now and can’t smile for photographs.

I had to.....privately cry after hearing that one

It’s the only way men are able to discuss their issues because society taught them that they shouldn’t burden people with their issues or that their issues are meaningless or that their issues aren’t actually a thing. Sharing anecdotes with friends is one way of talking about it, because they feel comfortable enough to share. At the same time, they might just not know that the event was traumatic because it’s trauma y’all.

Take this to be your reminder that men experience trauma too and need a safe space to talk about it. Be that safe space for your friends who are men

Somehow this video captures the scale of whales better than any other video or photo I have ever seen.

Fun fact: the blue whale is the biggest animal to ever live on earth. And they’re alive today.

The biggest isn’t some dinosaur or weird devonian fish, nope. It’s the blue whale, and you share a planet with them. How lucky is that?

I can't stop watching this video. This is my favorite thing. The totally incorrect shotgunning. The fact that there's no reason for the woman on the left to take a step in the direction that she did. The other woman's immediate reaction to shut off the phone first before even helping her friend. The fact that they don't say a word or make a sound the whole time. This is a masterpiece.

might be controversial but idc y’all have to stop this culture of making women feel bad for being attracted to men. just stop it. i can’t listen to more women say “i really like this man ugh it’s disgusting” like no it isn’t. that’s just internalized misogyny and so many other women say it like we have to feel embarrassed of it and i’m sick of it!! 

instead of holding men accountable for being shitty, now women are supposed to feel bad for being attracted to any man? no. you are not at fault for being a woman who likes men and if anyone tries to make you feel bad abt it then dead them fr just attack them 😐 enough with self-deprecation
