hi can people who aren’t survivors of religious trauma specifically from evangelical christians keep the word “puritan” out of their mouths and posts?
like… it’s genuinely so insulting watching proshippers use it for people who think jacking it to kids is wrong, when i’ve seen girls be manipulated into thinking that God made them less capable of being leaders, or seen evangelical school staff actively deny the valedictorian title to a student who earned it because she was a girl.
“you support gay rights so you must be gay”
i support animal rights do i look like a fucking alpaca to you
turns out i am gay
holy shit how’d this alpaca learn how to type
Diversity win! The alpaca is gay!
Reflection from Mulan was so crazy she literally sang “If I were truly to be myself I would break my family’s heart” and 8 year old proto-gay me was like “I don’t know what you mean but I know what you mean”
people keep trying to make "ladies and gentlemen" more inclusive.
I think we should go the other way around.
make more and more weird false dichotomies in greetings. "gamers and pianists". "oil painters and swordsmen". "vexillologists and entomologists". "chess masters and diamond artificers". "accountants and gendered individuals".
we need to be dropping shit into formal meetings to make people say "wait what? which one am I?"
I have started referring to my students as “critters and creatures.” I then offer them the option to decide where on the critter–creature spectrum they think they belong. They enjoy this immensely. I teach some critters, some creatures, some 50/50s, some critters with creature tendencies, some creatures with critter inclinations.
all i have to say is 'hello cowards' and it shuts gendering up
do you all remember in the early 2010s where people were talking about freeing the nipple and that mixed-gender sports should become a thing and the removal of period tax and all of that and then some people realised that would mean trans people too ans they instantly decided to revert to bioessentialism 101 and now i have to see grating sentences like Well maybe jeopardy should be gender-segregated because males have a biological advantage in pressing a button
This is the point we're at now by the way.
wait, enhance
I learned in a Latin Studies class (with a chill white dude professor) that when the Europeans first saw Aztec cities they were stunned by the grid. The Aztecs had city planning and that there was no rational lay out to European cities at the time. No organization.
When the Spanish first arrived in Tenochtitlan (now downtown mexico city) they thought they were dreaming. They had arrived from incredibly unsanitary medieval Europe to a city five times the size of that century’s london with a working sewage system, artificial “floating gardens” (chinampas), a grid system, and aqueducts providing fresh water. Which wasn’t even for drinking! Water from the aqueducts was used for washing and bathing- they preferred using nearby mountain springs for drinking. Hygiene was a huge part if their culture, most people bathed twice a day while the king bathed at least four times a day. Located on an island in the middle of a lake, they used advanced causeways to allow access to the mainland that could be cut off to let canoes through or to defend the city. The Spanish saw their buildings and towers and thought they were rising out of the water. The city was one of the most advanced societies at the time.
Anyone who thinks that Native Americans were the savages instead of the filthy, disease ridden colonizers who appeared on their land is a damn fool.
They’ve also recently discovered a lost Native American city in Kansas called Etzanoa It rivals the size of Cahokia, which was very large as well.
Makes me happy to see people learn about the culture of my country :D
Also, please remember that the idea of a nomadic or semi-nomadic culture being “less intelligent”, “less civilized” (and please unpack that word) was invented by people who wanted to make a graph where they were on the top.
Societies that functioned without 1) staying exclusively in one location or 2) having to make complicated, difficult-to-construct tools to go about their daily lives… were not somehow less valid than others.
Anonymous asked:
what's reddit-core?
cryptotheism answered:
Reddit people are annoyingly touchy about grammar. A typo in a reddit thread will result in an annoying dogpile from smarmy users eager to glean internet points from correcting you. Because of this, seasoned reddit users often reflexively type in a very clean, formal, debate-like format.
It sticks out like a sore thumb in tumblrs far more casual environment, and often reads as strange, overly-formal, sterile, almost corporate. Like a kid wearing a suit to school.
Yeah we only really let @prokopetz get away with it
In my defence, I don't post this way because I'm afraid of typos. I do it because using a very formal register to shitpost about robot dick is inherently funny.
y’all should watch supernatural because thor the norse god is there and he looks like this

i said supernatural instead of stargate im losing my fucking mind
I thought it was an honest trolling attempt and I respected you for it tbh.
Me, before reading the rest of the post:
I was thinking maybe they just re-purposed the puppet from Stargate 😂😂
I knew having Redditors cross-train on Tumblr would produce weird fucking magic.
It gets better. This Redditor went the full Goncharov.
