Every time I see that post that’s something like “weird, but technically not a sin,” I think about being seven or eight years old and bawling to the priest that I had scaled the walls of the pantry in my home like a spider monkey in order to eat all of the cookies that my parents had naïvely hidden on the top shelf to keep me from getting into them and wailing that I was a hopeless criminal and hearing just dead silence on the other side of the little wall.
je suis sick of this shit
You can literally make anything and anyone problematic if you try hard enough seriously give me people and things and I’ll make them all “problematic” right now.
I don’t even have to do this one because PETA did it first by insinuating domestication is inherently abusive.
The sky
Used to trick and mock anyone who asks “what’s up?” A bullying tactic.
Super Mario Bros.
Stereotypes Italians, enforces the narrative of women who need men to rescue them, and encourages violence against turtles.
John Mulaney
He was over on the bench and he SAW what they did to Tyler and he did NOTHING.
Omfg
Pokemon
Making your pets fight repeatedly is animal abuse.
OP
OP literally argued that dogs were problematic but go off I guess
This is a work of art and should be sent to everyone as soon as they sign up for Tumblr so they know what they’re walking into
Its actually a very good illustration of why the “X is problematic it/they must be harshly cancelled!” model of thinking is flawed, as well as why purity culture as a concept is flawed since NOTHING is pure enough to never be construed as problematic
Sure a lot of them are stretches, but that’s certainly never stopped folks from reaching so hard they gotta be dislocating SOMETHING to find reasons to cancel things or people in the name of purity culture
it is still Purim (started sundown last night)!
if you haven’t done anything yet, and you won’t make it to a megillah reading or shpiel / costume party at your synagogue, here’s stuff you can do (I tried to write this so it would be accommodating to jews who are slowly adding more practice, or just getting into things):
-say a shehechianu blessing before doing one of the below things (especially a mitzvah). we say shehechianu at the start of a holiday acknowledging that HaShem is blessed and has helped us reach a special season. link
-read and/or listen to the megillah (book of esther), you can find it online (in english or hebrew). or if you don’t have time to read the whole thing, at least search for the story of purim/esther and read someone’s summary/commentary! it’s a wonderful story.
-give mishloach manos (give some food to a neighbor or friend)
-take some food to a food shelf
-buy or make some hamantaschen! (lots of bakeries and groceries stock them, if you’re on or near a campus, see if any organizations or other jewish kids know where to get some / sometimes a campus org will sell some)
-if you want to watch a funny skit, try and find a purim shpiel (from any movement or synagogue / in english or hebrew / any theme) on youtube or streaming or recorded previously from a synagogue.

parasocial relationships but you consider the celebrity to be your mortal enemy
2015 tumblr and john green
fuck every other tumblr ad this is the best one
ok very funny guys. you got me. now seriously who left all these neurotypicals in charge of the mental health field
who left all these healthy doctors in charge of the hospital
is literally what this sounds like
God, can you imagine how awful that would be? People with amputations consulting on things like prosthesis?
People in wheelchairs designing living and working spaces for people with mobility issues?
Autistic people actually trying to help other autistic people?
OMG, just thing – wouldn’t ti be awful if people who are now in remission actually helped manage the pain and other symptoms that come with having and treating cancer?
I mean seriously, what on Earth do any of those people really have to add to the discussion? What could they possibly know that an able-bodied neurotypical wouldn’t already know? I mean, experience doesn’t teach all that much!
/end sarcasm.
My care for EDS got radically better when my doctor’s kid was diagnosed.
Dr. Marsha M. Linehan more or less reinvented the field of behavioral therapy after spending years being treated to the worst 1950-60s psychiatry had to offer. She created the system now known as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, now considered one of the most effective treatments for suicidal and self-destructive behaviors, as well as pretty much any other form of mental illness or mood/behavior disorders. She was able to do all of this BECAUSE she’s self-diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, not in spite of it.
The only therapist, out of the many I have seen over the past 30 years, to succesfuly treat my anxiety? The one who had anxiety herself. Not a coincidence.
So how is it that second-hand embarrassment is the single most powerful and weakening emotion one can feel from media?
Tragedy? Delicious.
A hard-earned happy ending? Wonderful.
A convoluted narrative? Keeps you glued.
Simple slice of life? It’s entertaining.
Second-hand embarrassment? Hang on, g, I gotta pause this for fifteen minutes, no, I cannot continue watching this right now, I am just not strong enough.
hey girl *splashes you with a potion of instant harming*
Y'all understand that it is literally not possible for gay couples to be heteronormative. A masculine gay man dating a feminine gay man isn’t heteronormative. A butch lesbian dating a femme lesbian isn’t heteronormative. They’re fucking gay. Telling gay people they’re somehow enforcing heteronormativity by being themselves and dating another gay person is nasty and ridiculous.
