love love love how similar these two panels are. makes me insane

There is never an excuse to not use someone’s preferred name and pronouns. Unless they’re closeted around some people and ask you not to, there is literally no good reason to not just refer to them how they want to be. No one is being protected when you intentionally misgender a trans person, or when you insist on using a deadname— even if you “don’t agree” with the existence of trans people, or think that gender identity shouldn’t be treated the way it is in whatever way. You’re not standing up for yourself and you’re not standing up for others— you’re just being an asshole.

If your friend’s legal name was Katherine, and she told you “please don’t call me Katherine, I have negative associations with that name, call me Kathy instead,” then would you still insist on calling her Katherine because you don’t think it makes sense to use another name, even though you know it causes her significant emotional distress?

Intentionally deadnaming and misgendering someone because “it doesn’t make sense” or “you don’t agree” makes you just as much of an asshole as that. Changing the language you use to refer to someone hurts no one and helps them immensely. Intentionally misgendering someone just makes you look like an asshole and, quite frankly, stupid as well.

If you want to have an actual debate about the ethics of trans healthcare or whatever, the least you can do is actually respect your opponents. Fundamentally, respect for one another is key to proper debating. But no, you don’t want a debate, you just want to beat people down.

Cool! Which one of them did he tell about his prequel show though

Kreese definitely was abusive to all the Cobras and left a mark on them back then but Johnny was always a focus for him from the very start.

I doubt if Joe was imitated by being with 'THE taylor swift' they would have been together so long. We know nothing about their relationship or why they broke can we stop making weird assumptions (and bringing him up tbh).

It’s clear that he did have a bit of an issue with that though since when he was asked about creating music with her together—which is not a question entirely out of left field to ask since it was usually under the context of what happened during the pandemic and he got a Grammy for it—he chose to brush it off. There’s a difference between being private and respectful of their relationship and he did often get asked about it—and I completely understand why he wouldn’t want to talk about it—and being asked about that experience of creating which wouldn’t have to necessarily delve into the more intimate details of their relationship. It seems like he decided to straight up decline to answer any question about her and after being together for that long it seems a bit odd. Like wouldn’t you want to talk about finding a new creative avenue and what that experience was like?

When they first got together she was in a completely different place than where she is now; she felt that she needed time away from the public eye to heal and he was a shoulder for her to lean on during that time and that’s great; I’m glad she had someone to turn to during that really hard time! But it’s clear that something shifted toward the end of it and it wasn’t working as was stated by her reps to different publications after their split and what she’s chosen to share with “You’re Losing Me” and her speeches at Eras shows, particularly during the one for “betty.” She’s at an incredible spot in her career right now and is more comfortable being seen more publicly, and I can see why it might’ve caused a rift if she felt that she wanted to be more public and he didn’t. People change and grow apart and that’s normal, it doesn’t mean one person was at fault! She’s emphasized over the years how important people showing up for her is (and her showing up for them!) and we know he wasn’t doing that at the end and that was a big thing for her. I’m not saying that I’m omniscient and know every single moment in their relationship, I’m just saying that we know what was important for her based off of what she’s chosen to share and I’m not the only one saying that.

I’m not saying that Joe was an evil person who prevented her from being seen in public because he wasn’t and they had chosen to be more private during that time. I’m just saying that there’s a difference in the public support she received from him while they were together and the public support she’s receiving from Travis. I don’t think I’m out of line for being happy that she’s with someone who has been showing up for her in public and not afraid to talk about it and that it’s nice to see.

what’s really embarrassing is my roommate on the phone with his mom saying “yeah i’ve been getting really sloppy i haven’t cleaned in a week it’s terrible” and my side of the room is just like that. all of the time. and i feel guilty but he also hasn’t ever said anything to my face he moved my stuff some at the beginning of the year but has never talked to me about it and i’m also so fucking ill that i just cant really handle adding that to my list while trying to also not fail school. so here i am being a terrible person i guess. did i tell you guys about turtle-person. have i showed my bracelets. i’m gonna go to sleep but in the morning i need to show my bracelets

i have more things to say about gunichi and his first meeting with usagi, i just don’t have the energy to doublecheck the appropriate screencaps.

I wanna flesh out a yakuza oc but every time I think about it I end up thinking about an oc of mine who already Exists who’s not a yakuza oc. but is, in fact, an oc who is a yakuza. and that fact is genuinely completely unrelated

“think abt smth besides v3!au” no

Is there a word to describe the feeling of eldest children born in like 1998-2003 who’s childhoods are just marked by the housing crisis and the depression and always being broke and parents who were always struggling to get by, who never went on vacation and never got nice clothes or new toys or are out… who have siblings five or six years younger who don’t really remember any of that,

and now things aren’t as bad and they got all the toys you wanted and the vacations and the parents who were able to say yes to getting takeout or buying a comic book, not because they are the favorite but because life is different and things are better now?

Because I’m not mad at my parents, I’m not mad at my brother, and I’m glad things are better, but fuck I feel like I lost so much of my childhood to being really really broke, and things are ok now but I still want parts of my childhood back, i wish mom would buy me comic books and toys and yeah I’m in my 20’s and it’s ok I’ll live with never having any of that or I’ll buy it for myself, but watching my step brother pick out prom clothes that ARENT from Salvation Army for $20….

It’s just making me feel something I didn’t know I felt- I don’t hold it against him or my mom, but I want that too even though I’m grown I want to at least be offered that

I think ultimately it’s like. Kendall will always see his inability to protect Shiv & Roman as his original sin. In his eyes, that’s what shaped him into a “bad person,” and he’s never been able to rectify that. He’s carried that guilt all his life and it’s chipped away at him. He’s succumbed to the idea that he’s a spineless, incapable asshole who sits idly by and lets bad things happen to children. Of course he remembers himself “letting” the waiter drown and “leaving him” in the water—it’s completely in line with his core sense of self.

no bc jess is literally at like his worst moment and tries to express that he’s not tired of rory (really when will he ever be??) with the kiss and then rory’s “that’s a good answer!” with the grin.

stab in the whole soul tbh.

IT REALLY IS it’s just so not fair. i honestly hate that moment so much because it’s so ooc and it feels super cheap. makes sense that the ep was written by a man tbh :/

something something being the taller heavier woman of color of most groups socializing me as the boy of the group but flip side being a taller heavier Girl of color only really getting a chance with femininity through overt sexualization so now im a boy who fantasizes about carrying heavy stuff for older women in a skirt

It bothers me when folks insist that there are literally no good reasons to surrender pets because it destroys their hearts. Like…. My dude…. That evil fuckin cat that slashed my literal eyeball should be surrendered. I found new homes for my three cats because I couldn’t take having multiple panic attacks triggered every single fucking day because they’ve got claws and I’ve got a new dose of fresh PTSD caused by that demon slashing my eye. I still can’t sleep well because of the nightmares about it. The pain and the blood and the temp blindness in that eye and the extreme fear. It’s been months. My life was fucking destroyed and my love of cats ripped from my soul. But I’m the villain? No. Needs drastically change sometimes and it sucks for everyone involved. It wasn’t good for me having cats around. It wasn’t good for my cats to have their only human destabilized and constantly rejecting their affection. They’ve got a new home where all three miraculously got to stay together and are dearly loved again as they deserve to be.

super minor thing but it’s been bothering me for a week so: where are all the aliens? in the latest ep you’ve got like 100+ force-sensitive refugees trying to flee the empire and like five of them are aliens (none in leadership positions). you would think that for a group running from an established xenophobic government there might be more
