I hope Barbie is proud of me for living in my Bimbo era of not knowing how to do math.
(I seriously don’t know how to do math. Literature was always my forte.)

This post is brought to you by that one post with 50 thousand reblogs about how it’s “misogynistic” to say girl dinner or girl math. And Barbie is not a feminist (you’re right. she’s a doll. don’t know if you knew that.) And women that love wearing pink and the aesthetic that is bimbo-core are the reason that feminism is a joke now.
I hate seeing Women berate other Women for the things they love and enjoy. Fuck us if we want a meme surrounding us that literally does no harm.
Women can’t have anything. And it’s really sad to see that it’s other women trying to take it away. Y’all wack as fuck.
The most moderate, nuanced and productive people I have discussed the Israel-Hamas war with have been Jews, Israelis, and people with Palestinian family. Everyone directly affected by this just wants it to stop and to have peace and safety in the region in a way that minimises the casualty count.
The most extreme and performative and vile things I've been told are by people who have no connection to this and like to think they are experts because they have covered adjacent topics during learning, or read stuff online.
If all the randos in the west would just shut up for ten minutes and let those of us actually affected, with an understanding of the history of the land and the culture and the generational trauma experienced by Jews and Palestinians alike talk, we might actually have a chance to salvage this and stop it spiraling
I know this is so And Then Everyone Clapped, but when me and Mr. Hugo were taking a walk together, he stopped me for a few seconds to gaze wistfully through the front door of a restaurant, and someone popped out while we were walking away to Invite Him Inside
What do you think of red heavy/blue medic or vice versa?
A fun twist on MY FAVORITE! I just love enemy team Heavies or Medics not hurting their counterparts... sparing them or helping them or even just hesitating to kill them, it just gets me right in the heart hhghh. LOVE TRANSCENDS ALL BOUNDARIES... BLOOMING ON THE BATTLEFIELD... I actually even had an experience lately where an enemy Medic hesitated to attack me as Heavy during the humiliation round, I've been wanting to draw that. It seems like both classes are pretty likely to turn Friendly towards each other if no one else is around in my experience. <3 There's something really sweet about wandering around a map and finding a RED and BLU Heavy and Medic just hanging out and dancing or having a picnic together by themselves.
I still prefer them on the same team but I do love comparisons between one Heavy/Medic to the other Heavy/Medic ("You are much calmer than my Doktor"/"You are more talkative than my Heavy") and their awkward flirting can be very cute when circumstances have kept the same-team Heavy and Medic apart. Just constantly drawn to each other regardless of what team they're on...! And I love it when a Heavy can't help trying to protect a lone enemy Medic in trouble too, like it's just an instinct he has. <3 Even better when they're both a little startled by him doing it! Or when a Heavy has to protect a captured enemy Medic from the rest of his team, aaa it all hits so many good tropes.
It can also be very tragic when one of the pair has died and they end up fixated on the matching one on the other team... I read a really sad fic about that with the RED Medic and BLU Heavy hooking up when their respective counterparts were dead, I'd link to it but it was also very explicit porn lol (it was called Ryumki). But it's a tragic and plausible scenario! So many fun ways to play with it all, haha.
Let me see... what are some of my favorite bits of cross-faction Heavy and Medic...
Running into Demo/Soldier by accident on their own date... CROSS-FACTION BROS...
RED Heavy slipping an injured BLU Medic a sandwich (this kind of inspired my fic about doppelgangers!)
RED Heavy getting jealous of BLU Heavy flirting with RED Medic
A BLU Medic seeing a wounded RED Heavy and alerting the RED Medic so he can heal him, even though he gets hurt in the process!
RED Heavy can't bring himself to kill a BLU Medic since they look so similar, he has to protect his doctor!
(Hey genuine kinda fucked up warning over here idk wtf is wrong w me but major warnings for blood and dubcon and medfet LMAO)
“Aether medfet this! Aether medfet that!” Ok but consider nurse cumulus in one of those slutty nurse uniforms with her tits pressed together and about to pop out of the thin white material. Dress barely covering her ass and bright red lipstick to match the cross and trim.
Gets an Iv into aether and tells him she just has to run some test, just keeps gathering more and more blood while he goes pale and looks at her kinda dizzy and confused because she just keeps taking more and more. Pops the needle out, wraps his arm with her tits in his face on while he lays on the table, praises him for being such a good boy.
And aether is lightheaded and stupid from blood loss, just wants to get his hands on his nice little nurse that was helping him ): tries to pop open a couple of the buttons on her down to get a peek at the white lacy bra underneath while she coos and lets her little blood bank feel her up as a reward
I don’t think people realize how all consuming October 7, the war and the rising antisemitism is to most Jews right now. I was just on a five day family trip and nearly every single conversation ended up circling back to what’s going on in Israel, across the world and at home. My mom knew Vivian Silver, an incredible peace activist thought to be held hostage and I had to sit there and watch her realize that not only was Vivian murdered at her home 38 days before but that she was likely burned if it took this long for her body to be identified. I was forced to sit there and watch my mom, my favorite woman in the world, watch her face crumple. We were sharing updates, accounts to follow, venting and releasing frustrations. It is a constant unbreakable struggle right now for me and most Jews I know to not be glued to our phones, to not pay attention. Because we’ve seen what happens when we don’t. Because we can’t afford to turn our backs on what’s going on. And there’s a deep ever present grief not only for the victims of October 7th, the innocent citizens of Gaza, the hostages and also for my own personal sense of safety and security. I am also grieving what is a shattering beyond measure of my present and future trust in people as I’ve witnessed how easily well intentioned kind hearted people have decided to say nothing, publicly or privately, or who have quickly fallen into vicious antisemitic rhetoric. I’m just sharing into the void at this point but it’s been unimaginably hard on a personal level. I’m not the same person I was when I went to bed on October 6. It’s as though I’m a shadow, made of grief and anger and tiny fractured bits of hope. Every piece of joy feels as though it’s been muted because of how quickly it fades. And even the moments that last are related to my Jewish identity somehow. I am not sure where I go from here.
"I felt unfulfilled working the corporate rat race and spending my entire life trying to climb some company ladder for more money and status" Yes! Go! Good! Being a cog in the corporate machine sucks!
"...So I realized that a woman's true calling is to submit entirely to her husband so he can run the corporate rat race while she lives in the home and gives away her independence so she can raise his children and do his housework and submit to his decisions even if they're flawed (or worse, abusive)!" No stop what is wrong with you why would you think that is the solution to this
