But also I'm really expected to believe the person being addressed in "Kiss Me" is a dude? A dude secure enough in his masculinity to own a floral hat in 1998? Also "You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress?"

Please wear your mint condition Air Force Ones to go make out with me in a barley field. Oh, your beaten up Merrell Jungle Mocs are so sexy. No. Come on now she's singing about a pair of strappy feminine sandals and you KNOW it.

THE FACTORY

People are going to yell at me for this but open misanthropy is a fundamentally conservative position completely at odds with leftism. You can be disappointed in large swaths of humanity and acknowledge we do evil... but to write off the whole species as ontologically evil is evangelical shit

If I had a nickel for every time there was a TV character named Jamie (or pronounced like Jamie) who was an asshole in the beginning but then exhibited incredible character growth only for the writers to inexplicably make him backslide at the very end, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot etc

it really is amazing how accurate the β€œdo you support both Palestine and Ukraine” litmus test has proven to be

As a kid I really wanted the game Barbie Fashion Designer but I never got that game so I've never actually played it, but playing Dressmaker is exactly what I always imagined Barbie Fashion Designer would be like

I think what broke the spell of the regrettable libertarian phase I went through in college was I was never able to get a straight answer on what was to stop corporations from turning into a worse version of the government they complained so much about

no one over 40 is gonna buy this because you can't play a bluray in it and no one under 40 will buy it because its going to cost $1200

PlayStation 6’s memory costs alone exceed $680 per console, it’s claimed, potentially suggesting an unprecedented price tag for the next-gen machine. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/playsta...

Blowing this guy’s mind by showing him My Immortal

In 2003 we had a Palestinian guy come and speak at our school and it was the first time I'd ever really heard anyone speak critically about Israel but islamophobia was rampant in 2003 so the teacher had to make it clear he was a CHRISTIAN Palestinian and we were therefore allowed to feel bad for him

Anyway the main thing I remember from that assembly was that the guy wasn't allowed to see his wife and kids, because he went to the US and wasn't allowed back in but his family also wasn't allowed to leave, and anyway, shit was grim even 20+ years ago

Something about Harry Potter that I never thought about before JKR became a TERF is just how incurious all the characters are about the world they live in. Even Hermione who's shown to be highly intellectual never stops to wonder where magic comes from or why only some people are born able to use it

I knew I wouldn't have enough of a color of yarn for a project I wanted to do so I ordered more right at the beginning. I have now used up all the existing yarn in that color and made significant progress on a different project with unrelated yarn and my new yarn hasn't even shipped yet.

The inch measurements on Levi's Jeans cannot be actual inches because depending on the cut a 32 inch waist can mean anything from "fits perfectly" to "laughable that you thought these would button" to "I can practically stand in one leg like a guy in a 2000s diet culture commercial"

My actual main villain is flawed but he believes he's doing the right thing in his twisted roundabout way. However side villain Graigor Beckett is just full on shameless 1980s movie bully with zero redeeming qualities, who exists only to be obnoxious and cause problems. I am only a little ashamed.

Who in your book/wip is just the absolute worst? What makes them so? #WritingPrompt

You can get an abortion for absolutely any reason at all, but if you do it because the kid's chromosomes looked like they were gonna be a specific gender and you don't want to raise a kid of that gender, I WILL think less of you, so maybe just don't tell me if that's the reason.

the instagram algorithm sent me down a weird rabbit hole of women aborting their XY fetuses because they might grow up to be rapists or whatever and I am like "Babes that is some hardcore terf shit right there"

Speed Racer (2008) defies the curse that befalls all other Western live-action anime adaptations by being actually good, and I think that's because the Wachowskis can be trusted to treat their subject matter with respect even when going for a campy and silly kid's movie

In 2009 I interviewed to do tech support for a company that made those little tablets servers use to take orders at restaurants. They hired someone else but that person didn't work out so they asked if I was still interested. This being 2009, I was desperate, so I agreed. I think I lasted 3 days.

this is something I do worry about, not because I think the GOP are even doing this necessarily--but because I think that on the left we are uniquely vulnerable to giving up in disillusionment if our wildest dreams don't come 100% true.

I’m conspiratorial enough to wonder whether the gop freakouts are an attempt to manage expectations so that anything short of a blowout is a disappointment www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

in 10th grade we made a ranked list of which extracurriculars we wanted to do and there my top pick was space exploration club, I was SO EXCITED, so I info dumped all the cool space facts I knew in hopes of "proving myself" and they didn't let me in because "I clearly already knew about space"
