this gets so much funnier when you consider that people literally just live on mount everest, there's a perfect parallel between random europeans "discovering" a mountain that people already live on and medical professionals suddenly discovering autism despite people having it going back god knows how long

This is such a "common sense" way of putting it. Everybody memorize this for spitting it back out whenever needed.

If shitting is legal why do you still lock the stall door?

not mine but hilarious

who is the most famous person you’ve interacted with either online or in person?

Had guy fiery sign my sketch book but it was a loud bar so he went “SEX BOOK?” Then immediately grabbed it and started flipping through it and went “ahhh sketch book” and signed a random page

I forgot to mention he signed it “love, peace, and taco grease”

this is one of my favorite reddit posts of all time

I hate, hate, HATE the term “affordable housing.” I hate that we’ve normalized it. I hate that we just accept that the majority of housing, a basic human right, is unaffordable to much of the population. Housing should be affordable as a baseline. If rich people want to add arcades and gold-plated hot tubs on top so be it, but everyone, everyone, regardless of income level, should have access to a clean, comfortable home with enough light and space to make life worth living.

Can confirm.

Happy Derek Craven Day!

the "I believe in abortion only in extreme situations" people (especially women) truly baffle me because I genuinely consider "a human has another human growing inside of them and does not want to" to be a very extreme situation. to me that feels so deeply like an extreme emergency situation. I know this has been said before but it's incredible to me that this does not feel innately horrifying and "extreme" to everyone.

Being a reader is like

me: ok, been making good progress on my TBR, both in reading the things and in writing down the things i actually want to read. now we should finish the book we've been reading, so that we can read the rest of the series⁠— library app: okay, but have you heard of this book you've simply never heard of but which you must read ✨RIGHT NOW✨?? me (tossing my unfinished books to the floor and running to the phone) : oh my gosh, yes, absolutely, let's read that instead RIGHT NOW

stardust (2007) really has everything. murder. mayhem. witches. gay pirates. unicorns. true love. claire danes. blond henry cavill before blond henry cavill was cool. subtle but wildly inappropriate jokes. a beheading. a lost princess. a running commentary of sarcastic ghosts. and more murder.

"what do we do about people who fake disabilities to get ssi" we throw them a fucking party for pulling off the most difficult and unrewarding grift of all time. literally i don't care

Top-tier cis women athletes who whine about the possibility of trans women having "physical advantages" over them as though this is a brand new never-before-seen occurrence in sports are just

Really fucking clueless about their privileges

If you're a top-tier athlete, you got there by having

I had to understand this the hard way from the other side. I wanted to be an athlete when I was a child, and I never understood that the bones of my right leg were just too short and too badly-built, so I would never be as tall or able to run as fast as everyone else—that actually, all my effort counted for piss because of the shape of my skeleton.

In fact, the harder I worked, the more I damaged the soft tissues all over my badly-built joints, so trying to put in 110% effort (and hiding the massive amount of pain I was in, because "no pain no gain") exacerbated what would already be lifelong disabilities.

Trans girls AREN'T your enemies. They're your competitors.

Some of them are naturally smaller or weaker or disabled, because testosterone isn't actually a superdrug.

Some of them are actually physically the same as you, because that's what puberty blockers and hormone therapy at the right age DO. Trans girls often want to be girls, and will therefore seek out medical solutions to avoid masculine puberty! Mindblowing but true!!!

And some of them are for whatever reason taller or stronger or faster than you and if this is the first time you've ever encountered competition like that then

NEWSFLASH:

Before this you have always been the competition who was inherently taller or stronger or faster than everybody else

In which case you're not actually an opponent of natural physical advantages in sport, you're just being a transphobic pissbaby because you can't win by default this time.
