something i’ve noticed about the good place: every time the characters talk about a theoretical person, they always use female pronouns, such as “goodness isn’t something a person inherently has, it’s something she achieves through her actions,” [s3 ep1]. I’ve noticed this at least three or four times, different characters each time, and I don’t know, I just think its turning traditional language pleasantly on its head. 

Yes, English used to use he for a theoretical person, and now we typically use they, but specifically using feminine pronouns here I think is a direct action, because it jumped out at me, “oh, this person experiencing an ethical dilemma isn’t a man, the default person?”

This is incredible because it is super difficult to visualise how much 6 feet actually is and most people don’t bother to try

HOLY SHIT ok first of all that is a brilliant use of technology, and second, that activated my flight response bigtime and i bet it convinced people to evacuate that weren’t gonna, which would’ve saved lives. so good job folks, worth the effort.

Why can’t she share that protective shield spell that she clearly casted on herself at least?

I’m going to grab the next person I see doing this one and forcibly shake them by the collar, so listen up, writeblr.

Stop calling your WIP bad. Stop saying you’re bad at (introductions, summaries, etc). Stop putting your work down before the reader has even gotten to it.

I understand why people do it, absolutely, but it’s a terrible, unhelpful habit. As a reader, I want to know what your book is about! I want to read your intro! If you tell me it’s bad, well, what reason do I have to keep reading?

Please make an effort. I’ve read poor summaries, and I’ve read summaries that made me giggle, and I’ve read summaries that were a quote and a deep thought about life. All of the above were fine, and oftentimes they got me to keep reading anyway. You know what makes me stop reading? “I’m bad at summaries”… or worse, blank summaries. Yes, really.

If I don’t know what your work is about, how can I read it? If all I know is that you’re allegedly bad at writing, why would I bother? Please, please show some self-confidence, even if you have to fake it. You don’t know how much it’ll help.

You know what? You’re right. Thank you.

Conservatives are delusional. They remember none of the facts, yet believe all the lies.

The Greatest Generation imposed 90% tax rates and had no deficits. They built the highways and gave GIs free college. There were no 401Ks or IRAs because companies gave their employees pensions.

High taxes encouraged reinvestment and higher wages. All boats rose, not just CEOs.

i know ive talked about how much of a fucking jungle university libraries are on here before but just now i was looking for a book and accidentally stumbled upon three solid bookshelves on a topic that the library database told me didnt exist two months ago and then i spontaneously lost cell phone connection as soon as i got to what i was actually trying to find and only regained it when i left the Book Hoard with my prize and that is exactly the kind of slightly-ominous feel that im talking about 

I thought Terry Pratchett was exaggerating the descriptions of the Unseen University library for comedy, but it turns out university libraries are just Like That.

University librarian here. Can confirm, the collection is alive and grows on its own, we’re just here to dust and occasionally prune it.

Virgin shaming and slut shaming piss me off in equal amounts. There’s nothing magical or special about being a virgin, and same goes with having sex. You know what’s magical? Shutting the fuck up about people’s personal choices.

hey remember that post i made about how children are being more and more sexualized today due to the culture on certain social media platforms such as instagram or youtube, and how clothing companies are marketing innapropriate clothing to kids ?? remember how people said i was paranoid, overreacting and “being a prude”


this is an 11 year old girl from brazil

you read that correctly
she’s 11 years old. born in 2007. posing in a mini skirt and heels next to two grown men.

this is a little kid.
dont ever try to tell me, or anyone else, that ppl who talk about the rampant sexualization of adolescent girls are ‘overreacting’ or are prudes.

Im so scared for that girl. God knows what shes being groomed into and traumatized by—especially by grown ass people who wait and prey on this shit :/

Her name is Gabriella Abreu Severino, and she goes by the stage name “Melody.” This is… horrific. 

I saw the second image while I was scrolling past, and thought she was an attractive young woman… then I read the text, and now I want to fucking puke. What the actual fuck is wrong with these people!?

THEY MADE AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD GIRL LOOK LIKE A YOUNG WOMAN! THAT IS FUCKED! THAT IS SERIOUSLY FUCKED!

Yeah this kid is being groomed this shit ain’t okay

“[A child rapist] was explaining to me how he groomed his step daughter. And he looked me straight in the eye and he said ‘The culture did a lot of the grooming for me’, and I have to tell you, I nearly fell off my chair.” - Dr. Gail Dines

I think it’s time every feminist fully acknowledged that grooming is not something that happens between a pedophile and a minor, it happens on a society wide scale, to millions of young girls, and it has been getting worse and worse with each passing year.

this child has been “performing” since she was 6, and all of her songs are about sex, her dad, whos also her producer, should be in jail

What I find really odd about fanfic in general is that you can almost tell what kind of a person is writing it, you know??
Like some people are really poetic in their descriptions, some people almost drown in the feelings they write, others create dialogue that flows so well it feels like you’re watching real people discuss things in front of your eyes…
I just really love that aspect of it, and I love placing writers in a kind of “hey look they’re a descriptions/feelings/dialogue kind of person” box so to speak. It’s such a pleasure reading it when it’s written so individually

Well now I’m curious what you guys think I am? Descriptions/feelings/dialogue writer?

grown ass men are out here not eating fruit or vegetables or washing their face and having a list of things women must do to be attractive to them and thus gain their respect like grow the fuck up and eat a carrot literally no woman needs you

“No woman needs you” said the future cat lady lol

Newsflash. No man needs a bitch telling him to eat rabbit food and nagging him constantly.

I cannot wait to see feminism burn itself out.

u gonna die of scurvy in the name of antifeminism

The scurvy got him

I don’t get why ‘cat lady’ is an insult to women. 

My dude, you got this backward; welcome to the modern era, we have careers, money, we buy our own houses and cars, and we have easy access to a selection of vibrators our ancestresses could only dream of.  Companionship is great and everything, but as many of us discovered, it comes in many forms.

If a woman has a cat but you don’t see a guy, that’s usually because she did the math and overall, men scored lower than a furry animal that shits in a box and a Hitachi.

accurate.
