The smartphone really revolutionized the waiting room. Oh I get 20 minutes to look at my phone? Don’t mind if I do. The only problem is sometimes when I’m looking at my phone at home my home starts to feel like a waiting room and I realize it is and I’m just waiting to die
Sometimes male anger at “women getting special treatment” reminds me of a gorilla experiment. One gorilla gets a banana every hour. The females next to him get one every four hours. Then someone decides to be fairer and gives the females a banana every two hours instead. The original gorilla? He flips out. He's still getting his banana every hour, but it feels like a loss because his advantage shrank. That's how a lot of men react to basic fairness for women: not as justice, but as theft.
I watched a woman at Walmart yesterday put a bag of rice back on the shelf. Rice. The food that has fed billions of people for thousands of years because it was so cheap. She looked at the price and put it back. I thought about that the whole drive home.
males up in arms about the ‘beheading’ in belfast but when a man shot his ex girlfriend and her sister with a crossbow and then killed her mum like two years ago, i didn’t see a single man coming out and setting busses on fire? acting like male violence is race related is dumb.
Imagine my shock as a neurodivergent teen when I first realized that using large vocabulary and eloquent speech doesn't make you less likely to be misinterpreted, rather it adds an entirely new layer of misinterpretation I had never even realized existed in the form of people thinking you're being snobbish or condescending when you're just trying to be specific
The blatant violent racism on display in East Belfast is absolutely sickening to the core.
A family being ushered into an armoured Land Rover as their home burns.
Jesus Christ
Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice.
This has nothing to do with community.
This is outright thuggery.
The attack in North Belfast was heinous and wrong.
But there are dangerous attempts to exploit that to target and attack innocent people who are simply trying to live, work and raise their families here.
Racism, intimidation and violence are wrong wherever they occur.
There can be no excuse and no justification for these attacks tonight.
No one wants to see this on our streets and I again appeal for calm.
a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered
i genuinely don't get how some people still haven't made the connection that tons of weekly manga have a bad ending because the artist was so overworked they had to throw it into the sun or die
