an interesting take on this from matt braly, creator of amphibia

Imagine being a business that has managed to get THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE, and you've managed to make it so this is a bad thing.

You did it. That's late stage capitalism in one sentence.

"What was promised as infinite growth proved to be finite" feels like a very concise summary of every business person ever everywhere.

can we get a shoutout to trans girls who don't wear makeup

i don't need to just keep practicing I don't need to just learn to contour or whatever the fuck else I'm 100% happy being bare-faced and the only times i ever felt compelled to do makeup was for other people's benefit!

watch the mfs with zero reading comprehension get ahold of this and act like I'm personally attacking them for wearing makeup

adding on trans girls who don’t shave their face or armpits or legs, or have short hair, or do any of the things that are seen as “saying Fuck You to the patriarchy” when cis women do it but for Some Reason when trans women do it they’re “not trying hard enough to pass.” do whatever you want with your meat suit and related adornments forever.

saw the thumbnail without reading the title so I was there wondering how peeing your shorts is helpful advice

why would you leave these in the tags

"ohh what if my kid starts identifying as a CAT because of the trans agenda we have to prote—" well they've always done that. do you remember the psychological effects of h2o on young girls. of warrior cats on autistic children. i believed i was a demigod because of percy jackson. twilight came out and kids were telling their friends they were secretly vampires. this is just a thing kids do. worry less

this isn't meant to be an attack to OP at all, but i really don't like that the fan translation unintentionally sanitized marcille's flaws.

the first picture is a fan translation so it's not accurate. she calls her "猫の子" which CAN mean "cat girl" but the real equivalent is kitten. baby cat. cat child. she's worse than senshi and laios because she infantilizes her. if you look 猫の子 up you will exclusively see pictures of kittens

the whole point is that chilchuck is the only one in their party who sees her as a person at this point in the story.

marcille's flaws make her interesting. she starts off as reducing izutsumi as a baby cat, but by the end of the story she comes to see her as her own person in marcille's own way.

Watch my daughter’s story as she speaks as a Palestinian child who dreams of living like the children of the world, with a safe life away from bombing, destruction and a sense of danger.

My daughter, Dalin, was deprived of the most basic rights, such as education. She entered school in the first grade for one month, because of the war on Gaza.

Her only wish is for you to stand with us and help us by traveling as quickly as possible, saving her family and all of us going out to live a life without danger or losing any of us.

My daughter is like your children. Help us by donating through the gofundme campaign, and we ask you to save us before it is too late.

Please donate generously before the Israeli army enters Rafah, and share the post so that it reaches the largest number of good people.

Feel for us, my friends, and fulfill Dalin's wish, to live a safe life

Mahmoud here translated as best he could what his daughter was saying so YOU can understand. So listen. And share their story.

As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:

DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.

It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.

Please reblog. It may save someone's sight.

love dungeon meshi senshi's character design bc when he has the helmet on he looks like a fucking pokemon

and then he takes the helmet off and hes just a guy with a face and forehead and everything

edit:

to me he looks like this

hey OP is it alright if i try to doodle that. please

@xeeble PLEASE DO

@ankellysaurus here ya go!

we reviewed your post and determined it needed a community label 🤡🤡🤡🤡

part of the reason why the whole "men/boys are taught not to cry!!!! its so sad for them!!!!" thing bothers me is because so many women i know went through childhood and young adult life staring into the middle distance in order to be taken seriously as people. its devastating to learn as a child that crying is associated with "femininity" weakness and hysteria and to witness all around you how these farcical patriarchal claims are used to dismiss women's distress. different human emotions being assigned specific genders and "feminine emotions" specifically being belittled and degraded can actually make women recoil from them in order to be treated like a person, isn't that funny

like the notion that men/boys grow up learning to be repulsed by their own emotional vulnerability (i.e. "femininity") actually also extends to women and girls and everyone else too. the rest of us don't just go through life happily and comfortably emoting and have those emotions received with open arms

My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.

YESSS! Penis is sweeping the nation. Tell all your friends.

This is from the same timeline as my dream in which instead of “groovy” people in the 60’s and 70’s would call things “peak cock”, which is also the first thing I said upon waking up from top surgery.

UHMMMMM what if T4T labru

ok lets settle it. which laios is getting the best dick rn
