I was discussing something with my sister today and...i think that a lot of older conservatives lost sight of what the world should be working towards.

“He didn’t say, ‘If you wanna be special you gotta work hard,’” shrieks one of these goblins. “The world owes you nothing and you gotta prove it!” Yes, that sounds like a much better show for children.

Man, fuck that. Mr Rogers taught how to have self esteem but not at the expense of compassion for other people. You can feel good about yourself AND not be an entitled fuck head. I don't think any of those shitheads get that

It’s absolutely a combination of embarrassment plus not being able to afford the treatment(s). There’s a reason people go on this show to get their ‘pimple’ popped and it’s to get the thing off for a reduced cost or possibly even free.

I was watching this last night and when she squeezed that giant cyst and all that cottage cheese looking shit came gushing out I started screaming. Both my parents came running from the other side of the house because they thought something was wrong. They then made me rewind it because they wanted to see what the big

EVERYONE uses they and just doesn't notice. "Someone called but they didn't leave a message." Literally no one should be confused by that sentence or think two or more people called on the phone. Some of the "they" ranters just like to nitpick.

I use the singular they all the time for both myself and in general writing. It’s not as confusing as people make it out to be. It’s no more confusing than having a piece of writing with more than one man or woman.

Even TERF as an acronym is troublesome as it implies these people are still feminists and part of the genuine movement when really they just seem to be people who believe they should get more power for themselves but won’t help up other women who aren’t from their group.

TERFs are freaking scary towards trans women. It’s horrifying how nasty they are. And they go from zero to sixty in about five seconds.

So is Facebook. I’m currently in a thread where we are sharing what’s gotten our posts deleted or us temporarily banned. None of it is “bad” in ethical standards, and all the Nazis get a pass. The page “Woke People” is threatened with a shutdown by Facebook every time it posts something with “white supremacist” in the

This has always been the case with Twitter. They’re really quick to suspend or ban people of color, women, trans people, etc., when white people/men/cis people/etc. say they feel threatened by someone in the marginalized group, no matter how mild the content of the supposed threat. But they routinely say that

Reminds me of the time I got a Facebook post deleted because I told a nazi to “go screw” himself for making a flippant comment about dead children post-Parkland.  I was the one who was apparently breaking the rules on Facebook, not the guy making fun of dead kids.  Social media is for the worst of us. 

At some point the evidence supports a conclusion: Twitter is simply okay with welcoming white supremacists, MRAs, TERFs, and other hateful scum. And worse, contemptuous of people who stand up to the hateful scum.

There are people out there threatening Jewish people with oven meme tweets and that’s totes okay, but “foot in your ass” is somehow the line that can’t be crossed

How the fuck is this banned on Twitter but fucking Trump can incite violence against journalists and generally trash-talk anyone critical of him?

trans-exclusionary radical feminists who do not believe that the rights of trans people should be included in discussions of women’s rights

In my mind the community guidelines staff for Twitter, FB, Instagram, etc is a frat house and there’s a group of via white bros making decisions about what is against the arbitrary rules (women’s nipples, non binary folks standing up for themselves), and what isn’t (actual death threats, nazis).

“It’s me. I’m a horse.”

This was an A+ episode if I’ve ever seen one. Just the fact that we have a kid’s cartoon showing a lesbian (gem) marriage proposal is a fucking miracle in itself.

While I understand and agree that—initially—Ruby’s revelation of not being a good solo-stone was cop-out-ish...I don’t think Eric makes enough of the reasons Ruby is exploring her independence here. THIS is Ruby’s side of the Pink Diamond revelation. While Sapphire feels cheated because Garnet feels like it’s based on
