Not to sound like a Godless Heathen, but after seeing that video of the lawmakers praying on hands and knees while people next to them speak in tongues on the House Floor in Arizona, I think every religious event of any kind before/during/after a congressional action should be banned.

No more national prayer breakfast, no more opening the day with a prayer, get “under god” out of our pledge, this is all so fucked.

Once you realise a combination lock should really be called a permutation lock you will be so annoyed...

Look, we joke a lot, but really, "you were born evil, wretched, worse than the scum of the earth, and it took killing a god to make you salvageable, so now you'd better be grateful to that god and thank him 10,000 times a day for it and fill your thoughts with him 24/7 and abide by the letter of his every word, lest you suffer unimaginable torture for all of eternity" is a truly horrendous thing to believe about yourself and other people

current mood

A huge part of trans gender ideology is preventing “thoughtcrimes.” You can’t ask questions and are supposed to ignore things that go against your better judgement. A decade ago when trans stuff became more mainstream in the US the mantra was (and I even repeated this mantra to others) you don’t have to understand you just have to accept. Because yeah, when you first learn about it the whole “born in the wrong body” thing (which I know is now outdated) really doesn’t make sense. Instead of trying to explain it (because it can’t be explained) the messaging was always about how much trans people are suffering and how grateful we should be that we don’t understand it. And now with the whole “don’t assume gender or pronouns thing” we’re asked to pretend that we can’t tell what sex someone is and to try and reprogram our brains that subconsciously, since infancy, determine if someone is male or female. Every time I hear someone unironically say “a woman is defined as someone who identifies as a woman” I lose brain cells. And I used to do this too. Does it not concern people that this is not a definition and literally a meaningless string of words? Why have we all decided to abandon logic and grammar and common sense for this one issue? Why can’t we acknowledge that a movement or a philosophy that can only exist if we don’t think about it to hard and if we grant special exemptions from logic it maybe shouldn’t exist…

i need to go to the doctors man

Like. If you read “you can’t change your sex” but hear ‘your sex defines how you must live your life’ that’s a problem you need to deal with because male and female aren’t lifestyles

She was the one

Remember when she published under the name J K Rowling because they weren't sure if boys would buy a book written by a woman so they wanted to make her name more gender ambiguous?

She would absolutely harass an author for doing that in the present day.

girl who successfully pirates media but she's not smart or anything she just googles "[x] free online" and ends up finding it through a few links. she's me

I think it needs to become common knowledge that "inability to read social cues" can show up as overcompensating.

You don't know how much misbehaviour is allowed, so you become the perfect child who never tests rules.

You don't know if someone is irritated with you, so you'll be extra generous and self-effacing.

You don't know how much is expected of you at work so you'll kill yourself in a minimum-wage job and not notice that nobody else is working like this.

"Hardworking and quiet" should be as much of an autism red flag as "ignores rules and doesn't know when to stop talking". Or why don't we just start using words to communicate so i can stop tracking everybody's eyebrow twitches, that would be great.
