its so fucking funny when people in straight relationships try to use top/bottom language to describe their sex lives. my housemate was talking about “topping” her boyfriend and i was like “you peg him?” and she got all disgusted and was like NO I JUST LIKE BEING ON TOP!!!!
we really really need to oppress the hets man they’re playing with fire they’re using ideas they dont understand. they’re running with scissors
How much longer until the utopic Solarpunk future where Capitalism is dead and we all live in ecologically sustainable high-tech forest cities? Asking for a friend.
Until we make those ecologically sustainable high-tech forest cities ourselves. It’s going to take a lot of us to do it though, so best to spread the word (and gather native tree seeds).
And, like, get started now. Then our “weirdo houses” will be the only thing functioning when everything falls apart!
The only reason why we don’t live in a solarpunk world right now is because no one has bothered to make it yet.
We’ll have to make it ourselves, and we’ll have to help each other make it. That’s why it is solarpunk.

what if the boy who lived was the girl who lived? scruffy tomboy harriet “call me Harry” potter, getting extra rubbish from the Dursleys both from being a girl and being the wrong kind of girl
and absolutely nothing in the entire 7-book series changes except for pronouns. because girls can be brave and imperfect and angry and sulky and loud just like boys can.
(except a girl harry would room with Hermione Granger and the Patil twins instead of Ron and Sean, but that’s literally the only thing I can think of that might change)
absolutely nothing whatsoever changes with regards to Ginny. except that in addition to “why doesn’t Harry notice me as more than a chum,” she grumbles, “why hasn’t Harry managed to realize that CHO IS STRAIGHT”

This is at my college and it got taken down and closed off hours after this tweet was originally posted thanks everyone
SUNY Purchase is the college this was put up at. Currently our campus does not care about any issues unless it gets media attention.
The ADA is currently suing our campus because of multiple ADA violations and incompetence towards disabled students, mentally/physically or mentally ill.
One of our apartments was supposed to be a temporary building, but is still being used to house students despite one of the ceilings caving in in one of the apartments and displacing its occupants.
We have a major mold and lead problem that is still going unfixed.
We have a University Police force that has been ruled to be incompetent in protecting the student body.
Work orders on campus are ultimately useless and nothing on campus ever gets fixed unless it gets media attention (our ADA violation and the shrine).
We have so many many many more issues that goes unsolved because our college refuses to fix any of them unless they get media attention. As much as the now defunct shrine is funny, the fact the student body is neglected so badly by the college shouldn’t go ignored.
The dudes from mythbusters are the ultimate unstoppable force vs immovable object,, every time they interact its just
immovable object is an amazing description for a person who once said “I don’t think our death ray is working. I’m standing right in it, and I’m not dead yet.”
