If your satire is so on point you get seen as the bigots you mocked, is it incredible satire or bad satire? š¤š
This really just sounds like the āit was a joke! (because you got mad but if you went with it I would not have said i was kidding)ā garbage people pull
maybe wander around the house/stretch a little if you’ve been sat at the computer a while (artists especially: sTRETCH THOSE WRISTS)
reply to that text/message from earlier you’d forgotten about
maybe send a nice lil message to someone having a bad day?
I just would like to thank everyone who ever reblogs this so that it somehow ends up back on my dash because I usually need the reminder (especially the drinking water one)
Casual reminder that The Washington Post is owned by Nash Holdings, which is controlled by good olā Jeffery Bezos.
Was going to keep this in the tags BUT I think itās important people understand that sturgeon caviar is only a luxury in the first place because of colonization. Anishanabae and other Great Lakes area tribes (and Iām sure more Iām just speaking where I am from) have been fishing Sturgeon for literally thousands of years. Besides consuming the fish eggs and meat we also made glue from its bladder, bags from its skin and used the oil from the fish as well. Sturgeon is important to many of our tribes traditionally and spiritually. So much so we even have Clans in honor of the Sturgeon. Than European settler-colonizers showed up and like they decimated Buffalo populations to starve Natives they did similarly with Sturgeon. When they pushed our people onto reservations they also created laws and legislation to keep us from fishing and hunting in our own ancestral lands. Than they built fisheries and Damns, destroying habitats and overfishing sturgeon to near extinction.
a lot of people in the notes are saying āthis is the opposite of what happened with Lobsterā so I wanted to point out that no it is actually exactly what happened to lobster.
āStop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, theyāre 15ā this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit
To wit:
I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.
In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought sheād try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:
āSo hereās the thingā¦ I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and youāre doing interesting things with them.
āMy biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Donāt hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.ā
Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didnāt limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.
Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Donāt limit yourself based on other pplās tastes. Theyāre not you, and you are incredible š
and people wonder why I say that transphobia is a danger to everyone.
I wish I was fucking joking
but sure āwe can always tellā crowd telling a cis man to kill himself because they think heās trans. that totally normal behavior. terfs are totally just normal average members of society who want whatās best for everyone. they totally arenāt genocidal fascists who want to kill everyone who disagrees with them or anyone they simply donāt like.
Thatās the reality of intersexism! Any bodily traits that can be deemed intersex are deemed a medical condition that needs to be dealt with, rather than a natural human variation.
Sex as a binary system is entirely a social construct just as much as gender is. Itās fairly normal for people born with penises to develop breast tissue, just as itās normal for people born with vulvas to grow facial hair. But if we called those things normal human variations, weād have to change how sex and gender are seen entirely in our society. A lot of people would lose a lot of money and control.
This is why many intersex people prefer the term intersex variation to intersex condition. Sometimes a sex variation is a condition that requires management but generally not. Condition is a really loaded word medically speaking.
