The ‘hyperspecific situations’ polls are really once again highlighting that native English speakers tend to forget that 'foreign’ doesn’t mean 'non-English’ or 'non-American’
“Did you watch a foreign language movie in the past three days?” Yeah I watched the foreign movie “The Martian” with foreign actor Matt Damon
Between Ryan Gosling Ken and Benoit Blanc I’m starting to think that it’s some sort of animal abuse to keep casting big name actors in stoic macho manly man rolls instead of giving them goofy little guys to play. Like look at them their coats are shiny, they seem so much more lively and energetic. We need to make sure all actors have enough goofy little guys to play before peta gets involved.
my 6yo piano student: did you KNOW that girls can marry girls and BOYS can marry boys? But they can’t do that romantic dance together when one has a rose in their mouth, because only boys can play the guitar :(

6yo: WAIT REALLY?? :O
it was honestly so fucking adorable because she was SO excited to impart with me the news that gay marriage exists, but then instantly heartbroken that wlw couples were robbed of all romance as they couldn’t possibly do the flamenco together
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.
Transphobia’s gonna undo all the progress of the feminist movement over the last several decades just so they can exclude trans folks from public life.
This is what I’m talking about when I say “You don’t really want a pet wolf, they already make a wolf you can keep in your house and it’s called a dog.”
