the funniest thing about the tiktok tradwife craze is people learning financial abuse exists but like, as a hypothetical. "wait what if the relationship doesn't work out and you have nothing of your own and nowhere to go?" congratulations you figured out a common reason people remain in abusive relationships and why it's important to maintain some level of financial independence

saved this a while ago when I was looking through various lesbian subs 💀

"putting emphasis on women" is a bad thing now I hate these people so much

putting emphasis on women (implied lack of emphasis on men) has always been a bad thing for misogynists

That term is actually being replaced by NMLNM (non men loving non men) on TikTok 🥴

Oh No lesbians and bisexuals emphasising women? Shocking news.

They're just... gonna admit that with their whole chests huh

Do. We. Need. More. Proof. That. They’re. Misogynistic. And. Lesbophobic. AF????

“This is not to say that there can be no heterosexual relations that satisfy those in them, but (that) if they are satisfying then it is because the people involved in them do not act in accordance with the roles and rules of heterosexuality as an institution.”

are they a “puriteen” or are they poorly articulating their frustration with the abysmal failure that is sex positive liberal feminism 🧐

why yes, the “puriteens” are all engaging in a non-existent “moral panic” and being “reactionary” for not having the language to communicate their rightful anxieties. they simply haven’t liberated themselves hard enough yet. 😎☝️

Purchasing Power (Salary after Costs and Taxes) of Europe, 2023.

to add: groceries in pink countries are cheaper than in blue countries. same brands. yes, same brands are cheaper. same brands in pink countries that are cheaper are also of higher quality. its been proven that eastern europe receives garbage leftovers of the west. this even went to the european court, nothing has been fixed.

i have some anecdotal evidence too bc i didn’t even realise just the sheer Amount of quality difference there is. but when i visited italy i bought some random juice, the cheapest family pack one, cuz i recognized the brand from Romania. i tasted it and it was one of THE tastiest drinks i’ve had to date. so when i got back to Romania i scrambled to buy the exact same brand and exact same flavor… and it tasted like shit. genuinely just, it tasted like empty chemicals. i was so sad and disappointed and just. i never realised just how huge the actual quality difference is until that point :C

The Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence River superimposed on a map of Europe

…OH.

I googled it once and the only reason why the Great Lakes aren’t called inland seas is because they are entirely freshwater, not salt.

By any other metric they’d be seas. Superior especially (the big one in the upper left) behaves like a small ocean, and has claimed at least 250 ships and over 1000 people. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a frankly chilling song about her that I’ll include here:

Lake Michigan has never fully frozen. Leading to some absolutely terrifying images

Layers of ice created, shattered, and built up like this.

Hey, here’s a picture of that lighthouse in 2015, when we had a polar vortex

I love the Great Lakes, you know how all boats look like shit, like just rusty hulks, you don’t get that on the Great Lakes because it’s fresh water, like the shipwrecks are incredibly well preserved
