[ID: Tweet from madoka magicock on 2024-04-15 that reads - Terfs need to shut up about womanhood, my mom was raised to believe all women were less valuable than men and cried when she learned about trans women because the idea that someone would fight that hard to be a woman was radical for her and meant it was something worth being.

For the Americans. Say:

Eee-rawn. (Iran)

Eee-rock. (Iraq)

Please don't say.

Eye-ran.

Eye-rack.

It makes me want to strangle you.

Except @vague-humanoid you're allowed cuz it's funny.

Like if you say Eye-rack I immediately picture a that gun toting redneck who yelled at an Arab guy at the bank and bragged that he killed "4 Ay-rabs" in "Eye-rack". If you don't want to evoke that kind of impression, please pronounce it properly.

Oh and it's "Ah-rab" not "Ay-rab" but I feel like the average American person has already left behind the latter.

Also, since it’s a common misconception—Iranians are not Arab :)

(And neither are Turks or Afghans!)

Image of a text that reads: In conversation with some coworkers, today, one of them said that homeless people should have to work for their meals just like the rest of us.

I said, "Okay, I know a man who is homeless. He'd be happy to work. He's got a business degree. He would be happy to come clean your house, do your yard work, or help you with your filing, walk your dogs, babysit your kids, or just about any office job. What time tomorrow should he come see you?"

They all just looked at me.

I said, "Mind you, he's homeless, so he hasn't showered in a while and the only clothes he has are the ones on his back because he lost all his stuff last week when ge got picked up for vagrancy and they wouldn't let him go back for his bag. It would be a few weeks before what you are paying him is enough to get shelter and such."

And still they stared at me.

I finished, "See? It isn't that easy. He can't get a job because he's homeless with no access to hot water or clean clothes. He can't get access to shelter, hot water or clean clothes without a job. You want him to work for his meals? Give him a hand out of the vicious circle. Stop pretending that all he has to do is get a job."

Unhoused people are not intruders into our communities, they are our communities’ failure to take care of their own.

BEHOLD

Pros of having a brain that makes very fast associations: Good comebacks and jokes.

Cons of having a brain that makes very fast associations: that story about how you broke your foot reminded me of a fun fact about lizards.

Mice are so fucking cute 🥺🥺 I just saw a bunch of them scurrying around in a field it was such a nice little sighting

Imagine being scared of these little dudes…skill issue. They’re so adorable 🥺🥺🥺

Sebastian Stan can be in as many mid Golden Globes bait projects as he wants but he sold his soul to marvel in 2010 in an attempt to rescue himself from gay-for-pay tv show hell. The monkeys paw curled. now he could even win an Oscar playing Donald Trump but he will forever be known best for 164,000 works on ao3

Why does basil smell so fucking amazing

Good points. Wait what was that first thing

you know what really gets my goat?

el chupacabra

I’m sorry!? What?!

UNIRONICALLY PIZZA IS GOOD FOR YOU especially if you add toppings and use whole wheat crust, its only marginally less healthy than say, a sandwhich with the same toppings.

Pizza tends to be greasier than a sandwich with cheese and tomato.

right, the Diet and health supplement markets don't want you to know this, but grease makes something only marginally less healthy.

if youre using butter as grease that's 11% your dd of vitamin A as well as 7.2g/tbsp saturated fats, which are crucial for blood sugar stability

if youre using grass fed butter that shit gets even MORE nutrients.

stop being afraid of core parts of your daily diet like "grease" and "calories" and "carbohydrates" you need to eat that shit to not die

Also this is such a nice reminder of how much health food verbiage is all total bullshit
