Graduations ain’t even about the students forreal it’s more like the school riding they own dick for an hour + then being like “oh yeah here’s the people who actually matter today. We almost forgot y’all were here” and pronouncing everybody name wrong.

At my graduation, they projected everyone’s yearbook photo on the wall, and they shown my messy haired, zitty faced photo even though my mom paid over $50 for them to retouch it

My graduation had an hour long mass due to being a Catholic school, and they told none of the parents. Then when the Mass ended, the principal came on stage and said “Now our special mass has ended, we can start the graduation ceremony” and you could *feel* the wave of despair from all the parents….

I think my favorite panic-fueled response to a petitioner was when someone came up to me in Union Square and said “Hi, would you care to sign our petition for LGBT rights?” and I just blurted out “I’m already gay” and the person, taken aback, said “Well, that’s… nice.” and I said “It really is. Goodbye.” and just walked into the closest store to escape.

I’m growing increasingly suspicious of mainstream media’s endorsements of social justice rhetoric

I’m growing increasingly suspicious of how the media focuses its SJ discourse around privilege and micro-aggressions (which suck, don’t get me wrong, but they’re smaller symptoms of centuries of historical violence…they aren’t the sources of the real problems)

I see this on sites like Buzzfeed and other avenues of pop culture fixating on “privilege” as a sort of luck system where society rewards people for being born a certain way, but in the explanations, the means by which this happens are always mysterious and vague. There’s a refusal to name anyone as active agents within a system, or to admit these systems materially benefit some at the expense of others…it’s always treated as some weird RPG stat system where being white gives you +5 ability to find a job, rather than an actual hierarchy of supremacy where people subjugate others for power and resources.

It’s always compressed, made into easy problems with easy solutions. “Top 12 Things You Shouldn’t Say to a Black Person”. “Make sure to not say Racist Things”. “You may have been born into privilege but it’s okay, just associate with PoC of Color™ and don’t say Racist Things and by being nice, you can somehow(?) help weaken institutional racism”…or something.

So it focuses on these small, specific manifestations of oppression instead of more direct forms of violence that would require a huge change to fix… stuff like, for example, the entire prison system. That’s not something that anyone could individually change by Saying The Right Things. It would require collective, organized action of a radical (or possibly even revolutionary) nature.

I’m weary of the way capitalism absorbs radical thought and re-purposes it, creating simulacra wherein no real change is actually required. 

^^^^ Capitalism and “Awareness campaigns” often make a “vaccine” out of live activism.

It provides a small dead dosage of an issue so that people feel they’ve done something when they’ve actually just become immune to the harder task of social change.

Person: how do you customize dolls

other video game companies can fuck up but no video game company can fuck up as bad as konami. imagine being known as the company that fired their most valuable asset and cancelled one of the most anticipated horror games of all time….. think about that when other game companies fuck up. honestly think about that when YOU fuck up. at least u didn’t cancel silent hills. you can’t be all that bad

btw how the HECK does mattel style their doll’s hair for these pictures?

my guess is photoshop

They do actually crop around the hair to make the image clean and viable for use with a transparent background but they don’t photoshop the actual hair aside from that

It’s actually someone’s job to be the doll hair stylist and they use very fine combs and brushes to smooth it out and make the curls perfect

Overwatch has been out less than a week and people are already dropping off their TF2 merch at the Goodwill.

Ways men opt out of housework and childcare by “helping out”

• take on weekly or monthly tasks, and think it’s equal to their wives daily tasks (even when wives also have weekly and monthly tasks)
• take on tasks that require very little time or hard labor, like mowing the lawn.
• take on a “project” that could be fixed by a professional, and work on it little by little but never really finish
• create chores for their children, i.e. delegate rather than doing
• do housework only in tandem, i.e. never on their own or without help.
• volunteer on their own for some disliked task. For example, cleaning the toilets without asking. unfortunately, this tends to be seen as very loving and exceptional. Often it will be used as an excuse not to do anything else
• enthusiastically volunteer to do things often, then conveniently “forget”, “make plans”, or have some sort of weird parameter to get started. When wife or child does it instead, claim they were going to do it, really!
• pick a jurisdiction they already enjoy, like “take care of dog” or “the yard”
• do something really badly, so that someone else has to do it for them anyway afterwards
• “tidy up” a mess they made
• pick up or organize clutter, however the often stressful, emotional, and time consuming task of de-cluttering is left undone or for someone else
• meticulous keep clean a space that is only theirs, i.e. their study, their garage.
• create tasks that aren’t needed, like “organize the toolbox” or “rearrange the bookshelf”
• do tasks that require prep work that their wives will do for them (i.e. grilling the food, but not planning, purchasing, seasoning or preparing the sides)
• take control of “finances” but do very little, perhaps the taxes. this is also used as a way to control their wives often
• use their time with their children to play or dole out discipline/lessons, but very little time on feeding/bathing/dressing or organizing their lives. this is also away men can create a “fun parent/mean parent” dynamic
• make lists of what needs to get done, discuss what needs to get done with their wives, act very invested in the housework, take on a “manager” role in the housework, but do very little of it
• tell wives that what little is done in the house, by either of them, is “enough” and that he “doesn’t care” what the house looks like (this is a l i e). i.e. doing little and then making an emotional appeal that it’s fine, co-opting the emotional labor his wife does for him, but actually it’s very manipulative
• getting involved with children’s after school activities, i.e. being a coach, organizing a concert, etc. often a thing he already enjoys. often does very little of the organizing/plan making. often makes little effort to create time for his wife’s personal interests

pay attention to your fathers, brothers, uncles, grandfathers, boyfriends, husbands actions. you’ll start to see these constantly
