given the facts that 81% of 10 yr-old girls are afraid of becoming fat and young girls report being more afraid of becoming fat than of getting cancer or experiencing nuclear war, i think we can abandon the idea that public anti-obesity campaigns are actually about promoting health
stop arguing about whether gay men have it easier or lesbians have it easier the answer is that straight people have it easier and we have to kill them
straight people are all over this post acting like the scary internet lesbian is gonna climb out of their screens and slaughter them on the spot and theyre right. get ready heteros
My father’s new plan to screw over the president: everyone wear Donald Trump masks around DC and be dicks to crows so eventually all the DC area crows will hate Donald Trump and mob him
Think bigger, OP.
If we do this all around the whole country then no matter where he goes to hold a rally, the crows will be there mobbing and cawing at him like he’s the fuckin antichrist.
if you’ve ever in your life typed “kweer” to make fun of someone I want you to know that you’re not anywhere near progressive and I don’t want you anywhere near me
“queer” is a beautiful identity and reclaimed slur and “kweer” is re-weaponizing the word for lateral aggression and frankly it’s just gross
“Cats should be allowed to free roam, where they are exposed to disease and predators and traffic, and where they will kill thousands of native animals.” “Why?” “Because I love animals”
1. Never lost a cat to traffic 2. Never lost a cat to predators 3. Never lost a cat, period
My cats came from outdoor environments and are absolute terrors if kept indoor only (as in destructive, screaming all night, etc. “Unadoptable,” as a shelter would say, which is the nice way to say “dead”). They’re chipped, snipped, and up-to-date on everything. My neighbors love them, and they not only keep pests away, but also run off feral cats and similar-sized critters who could potentially carry all sorts of diseases, not to mention wreak havoc of their own.
There’s a logical limit to everything, kids. If you live somewhere it isn’t safe for cats to roam, don’t let them roam! Get yourself a housecat and be happy. But please also be fully prepared to care for all their behavioral needs, so that you avoid having fat, aggressive, fearful, under-stimulated pets. And always support TNR efforts, if you love cats so much–otherwise, your anti-outdoor-cat rants could get a lot of non-domesticated cats killed.
even if you want to pretend that your cats are magically safe from cars/predators/poison/shitty human beings, did you miss the part where cats contribute to the extinction of native species
outdoor cats trash the environment and die shitty deaths all the time. i routinely see cat remains on the road and I know people who cheerfully shoot roaming cats. if you can’t keep an animal sufficiently stimulated and exercised while also keeping them safe and contained then you shouldn’t have them.
“We don’t need more gay characters! We need to show men being friends without being called gay because platonic love exist and is toxic to tell men theyre gay for having friends”
examples of mayor male characters in popular media whose relationship is purely platonic as far canon goes (and in half cases confirmed as straight):
examples of male characters in popular media that actually get to be shown as lovers but aren’t like, minor characters:
Reading some tags and comments and I’m sure you guys mean well and are probably not as used of criticism on LGBT coding or baiting (or I’m bad at telling jokes) but argumens like “but Y/Z are canon gay because they X” and that’s… the point… Because you can say that two male characters can serenade, live with, give their life for and adopt a kid with another man and… Nowhere in canon their relationship is shown as romantic.
The point is that media is not afraid of protraying “bromances” in it’s strongest force and add homoerotic subtext, but never show an actual romance between men characters unless is minor characters or from a smaller group (like a podcast or a indie game /webcomic).
So yeah before you add another “actually my otp is canon” please make sure it’s a relationship explicitally refered as canon and not a case of q-coding or baiting.
But why didn’t you put examples of “
of male characters in popular media that actually get to be shown as lovers but aren’t like, minor characters
“? I mean I am not interested in m/m relationship but they do exist. Like take for example Dylan and Andy from Instinct. Happily married couple that love each other deeply
Cam and Mitchell from Modern Family
Both of them show major male characters in a loving relationship with each other and on top of that they also platonic male friends?
I am guessing they are probably more as well so why ignore them? Are you deliberate erasing representation on popular media for…I don’t know humor or something?
I didn’t add them because I didn’t know them.
That’s the part the point of the post. That most people would struggle remember a canon mayor and healthy m/m relationships but with easy can think of atleast ten “platonic bromances”.
Since I made the post I’ve only could come with two pairs: Carlos/Cecil from WTNV and Gregg/Angus from NITW… and still could name even more “bromances” (zuko/sokka, wario/waluigi, yugi/joey, shawn/gus, finn/poe, peter/harry, hater/peepers, tom/marco… you read me).
So, no, this is not me intentionally erasing it, and even if I did added the two pairs I remember, + the 2 you mentioned (one from a show I wasn’t even aware it existed) its 4 canon gay relationship in a sea of endless canon platonic relationship.
So in case you missed the whole point, mx “”“I am not interested in m/m relationship””” (your words not main) I repeat:
The point is that people oppose to representation of gay romance because they claim “platonic love between men is under-represented”, when that’s not true, and even if I did added every mayor m/m romance in mainstream media it will still look minuscule next to the endless list ot ‘bromances’, proving that “gays get more rep than friends” is a dumb baseless point. 1k people got it, it was not that hard to grasp.
During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.
Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.
I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.
When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.
So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.
poor people deserve things they want, too. it is unfair to expect poor people to only buy things they “need”.
My grandfather used to tell me: if you only have 20 kr left, you buy grocery for 10 kr and flowers for the other 10 kr because you need a reason to live as well.
We are not machines and an unmet need is an unmet need.
Hi I fucked ip my laptop just in time for school applications!
Having a laptop is extremely important to my future as I wish to pursue art, and a new laptop would be 1405,90USD.
Donations would be extremely helpful, I also have art up on Redbubble under the name LuttiArt. On my luttiart.tumblr.com you can see other art of mine and slots for commissions are open indefinitely and will be started the second I get the new laptop.
