Heartbreaking: This person is making great points but they're being a huge fucking asshole about it so you can't reblog any of it

the idea of public restrooms as "women's spaces" continues to confound me. you know who I hope is in a public bathroom when I go in?? no one. I would prefer no one else be in the bathroom. and if someone else is in the bathroom I am going to ignore them as much as possible. I did not go into the bathroom to connect with other women. I went into the bathroom to piss and/or shit. it's a toilet's space, not a women's space. shut the fuck up and let trans people piss and shit in peace. let's all continue to avoid eye contact with each other and any and all interaction in the toilet's space.

remember in School of Rock where the black girl was afraid to say she wanted to be a singer because she was fat and didn’t want to get laughed at but Dewey was all “who gives a shit, I’m fat too and so is aretha franklin but we’re still valuable and we rock” and then the girl felt better without having to be told that beauty comes in all sizes or some other bullshit. thats the kind of body positivity I’m looking for. tell these babies that they’re worth a damn without tying it to any other arbitrary ideals

2009 deviantArt artists telling you to fill an entire layer with neon green and place it behind your lineart to check if there's any unwanted stray lines or unfilled pixels were the elderly sages at the end of the spirit path atop a secluded mountaintop you reached just as the sun was setting

Just so we’re all clear, it is okay to miss people you no longer want in your life.

this is so funny. me when I lie. like lmfao there's a photo of him ON THE FERRY DOCK WATCHING THE TOWERS FALL and idk if you all remember what telecomms in the NY metro area were like during 9/11 but unless you were already planted at home in front of a computer your ass was not on AOL while it was happening

If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.

Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

heterosexual cowboy

just noticed that the tumblr report function has removed the option to report someone who is not yourself being harrassed, while having added the option to report someone for ban evasion. surely, this change has no ties to the mass harrassment campaigns against transfeminine users on this site that said users and their supporters would like to report, and which have led to transfem users getting mass reported themselves to the point of fraudulent bans /s

Things neurotypical people do that confuse me.

They’ll say “it’s time to go” so I go outside and stand by the car… I wait….. no one else comes outside.

I go back inside and see that they are still talking to someone, haven’t put their shoes on, decide it’s time to cook a four course meal, etc.

Like… you said it was time to go…. Why are we not going????
