I’m at the BDSM club painting tunnels on the wall for my sub to run into
"I'm going to teach my sons to respect women."
A lot of women say this in response to all the sexism they see and experience. But it only works if you teach him to question all sources of power. If you're a single issue feminist and you want your son to question his privilege as a male but uphold your privilege as an adult, you'll fail miserably and it will be your own fault.
If you spend his entire childhood demanding that he obey all adults no matter how abusive and you call that "respect", then when he's a teenager and you teach him to "respect" women, he'll think women are just one more group of people who he has to submit to, and he'll easily fall for propaganda that feminism is a female supremacist movement. If you call him "disrespectful" when he says or does something sexist and you've also called him "disrespectful" for backtalk, eye rolling, muttering, or breathing loudly, he'll think you're just being an unreasonable authority figure once again. If you spank him and try to teach him that domestic violence is wrong, he'll see you as a blatantly obvious hypocrite.
Single issue activism is useless, and your child will see right through it. You can't just add "women" to the list of people your child must respect on command. If you want to prevent your child from becoming a bigot, you have to teach him to recognize bigotry in all forms, including when it's coming from you. You have to teach him to recognize that the way children are treated is bigotry. You also have to teach him to recognize ableism, racism, classism, and other ways that you may be privileged.
today i went for a drive and saw a big ass Jeep with the license plate P@P@ BE@R and a window sticker that said “Bought with Daddy’s Money…and I’m Daddy” and I sped up my car a bit to look through the driver’s window and prayed that I’d see what i hoped to see and sure enough there was a big chunky bear with a big ol beard driving the car with this twink chewing gum on his phone in the passenger seat and even though the window was tinted i could see was another one in the back seat…and the world was right for that single moment
I love entomologist humor. There is this famous butterfly, the one species everyone knows, the regal and instantly recognizable Monarch butterfly
and back in the day a very similar species of butterfly was discovered and thought to have evolved to mimic the Monarch (we now know this isn’t quite the case)
But because this smaller butterfly seemed to be impersonating a Monarch, they named it the “Viceroy” in a joke that is criminally underrated and makes me chuckle every time I see one of these little dudes. Clearly he’s doing important work as an appointed governor ruling in place of the sovereign
This is my church!!!!
holy shit y’all should watch this one, what an admirable person
Fuck you dan

this was a screenshot of mine I took on May 16th of last year:
some context I can remember:
regarding all the stuff about graphics drivers, I was trying to fix a problem with 1.7.10 modded MC where the screen would turn one color after joining worlds (I've since solved this with one specific mod, though)
the thing about straws was because of me having gotten my wisdom teeth removed on May 7th
anyways, no-pressure tags:
