that really gets me thinking though like ‘karens’ are the hallmark of bad customer service experiences and entire accounts are dedicated to posting karen freakouts and no i dont sympathize with entitled women acting ridiculous, but it does annoy me that women are posited as the people always freaking out at customer service workers when in my experience men do it just as much but the only difference is it is fucking scary when they do it and it doesn’t make for good content. someone screaming and acting like a child is awful to deal with as a worker but you aren’t in any real danger. but men are the ones who will literally harrass, stalk, and threaten you just because they dont like your policy or whatever

and it’s the same thing with implying that 'boy moms’ or whatever have incestuous relationships with their children because they are like overly attached to them, or maybe prioritize their sons over their daughters because of internalized misogynistic ideals. again, we can criticize this- i’m not siding with these women either. i just think it’s interesting how men are actually the ones who most often commit incest against children in their families, and yet so one is really making these funny jokes about 'girl dads’. why? oh, because it’s not really all that absurd and is actually a terribly common phenomenon.

women are easy targets for online jokes. it lets people let out their misogyny a little, lets them confirm their biases about crazy emotional bitches, and we know they aren’t nearly as likely to really enact abuse, or seriously endanger the lives of customer service workers, so it’s easy to posit it as a joke. men on the other hand, actually do threaten, stalk and kill people, especially women (i.e. the majority of people working in customer service), and are much more likely to commit incest abuse. so it’s not really so funny, and it’s not really so much of a 'joke’.

as someone who was a short fat kid with asthma I would like to know exactly when "nobody should ever have to compete in a sport against someone with biological advantages!" became a principleALT

As a disabled kid who was in the same phys ed class as everyone else with predictably horrifying results, HARD SAME

“Nobody should have to compete against people with biological advantages in the biological advantage assessment game!”

in middle school our grade in PE was how well we did in comparison to the rest of the class.

got the fastest mile? congrats, you have the 100%. the rest of us? we were fucked. fuck effort, fuck improvement, fuck participation and attitude, it was all about competition.

as a little kid, I enjoyed community sports a lot, and then around middle school i got heavier and worse at running and suddenly sports were just… off limits. the focus was entirely on being a good, competitive team and “kids having a fun time, getting exercise, and making friends” meant nothing. refusing to allow trans kids to play is the exact same principle

It’s not illegal to deface American currency actually!!

It’s illegal to deface it in a manner that makes the money unusable (shredding/burning etc) but you can write stuff on money or draw a mustache on George Washington to your heart’s content.

When I worked at a bank I got all sorts of bills with weird shit on them, from “fuck trump” to “for a good time call”. They all went in the vault- still totally useable and therefore not illegal :)

It’s not illegal

to deface American

currency actually!!

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

trying to fact check a very important post about what happens if you drink salt water (seawater) to see if my preconceived notions were simply myth or some shit and the first internet search results are this

  1. livestrong “it will make your body so clean and pure drink salt water :) your colon will LOVE this”
  2. drinkhydrant “its literally SOOOOO good for your digestion system <3”
  3. The National Ocean Service “It can fucking kill you, please don’t”

this is a great lesson in why sources are important

I think we should start putting Wellness Industry people into the ocean

I’m glad that Indiana finally has its first national park and that it’s the one mostly known for having sand dunes that eat children.

how, pray tell, does a dune eat A Child

Imagine that you’re a big pile of sand by the shore of Lake Michigan, between Gary and Michigan City. Your name is Mount Baldy, and you’re a popular tourist destination at what is now Indiana Dunes National Park.

For a huge pile of tiny rocks, you live a surprisingly nomadic lifestyle. More than a hundred years of tourism and foot traffic has destroyed much of the native grass that kept you stationary. You are now what they call a “wandering dune”, as wind off the lake slowly but steadily pushes your tremendous bulk a little further inland every year.

As you move, you gradually engulf everything in your path—trees, buildings, rocks, hills, your own parking lot—everything. You are an unstoppable force, like some kind of gigantic gelatinous cube, but you’re still very popular with visitors.

In 2013, you suddenly eat a child. It’s a surprising move on your part—dry quicksand isn’t supposed to be a real natural phenomenon. I mean, what is this, a 1960’s action movie?

One moment, a family from Illinois is cheerfully climbing your slopes. The next, the 6 year old boy suddenly vanishes without warning, leaving no trace. Would-be rescuers dig in the sand where he disappeared until their hands are bleeding. Geologists insist that he must have wandered off, because enormous piles sand physically cannot form hollows or pockets within themselves—but three hours later, he is found, unconscious but alive, buried almost twelve feet deep in the sand.

The current leading geological theory as to how this happened is that the organic material you engulf, like trees, slowly decompose beneath your slopes, leaving behind unstable voids held together only by the fragile remains of the decayed material. When these voids are walked over, they collapse, forming sudden sinkholes that can swallow visitors whole. The rules that typically govern stationary dunes, or wandering dunes in areas that are not forested, no longer apply to you. You are unpredictable and dangerous and have remained closed to visitors except on guided hikes ever since.

One important thing that you should do as a queer person is to find another queer person whose brain works just like yours (romantically or not) and then adopt a cat together and then finally steal that fucking Pikachu and make it big

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.

Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.

That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.

(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)

just fucking read it

From the foreword to 2021 print of the comic.

This comic is written by Mark Russell, who also wrote The Snagglepuss Chronicles, and Green Lantern/Huckleberry Hound (There was a whole run of DC Meets Hanna-Barbera back in 2018. Booster Gold calling Fred ‘Beefcake’ was… A lot.) and they all have this same scathing parody of societal issues that honestly works surprisingly well with old cartoon characters. I highly recommend checking some of his work out, and if you’re looking for something a bit more lightheated, Wonder Twins is one of my favourite comics.
