girls writing poetry are always like “i fed my blood to the coyotes i reached inside of myself and tore out my own lungs” and i’m always like damn u good? Mood tho
hey, quick question, can you think of uh, any environment that ISN’T male-friendly?
Women aren’t taken seriously when they visit the doctor and have died (and will keep dying) as a result but yeah, let’s coddle men even more
I don’t even know that it’s coddling because it’s not based in any type of reality. Waiting room environment is not why men avoid seeking medical attention, but okay Mt Sinai, go ahead and waste some money for a sports ball room. That’ll take care of prostate cancer.
I wish I could remember the name of the actress who went ballistic after being told that, at 35, she was too old to play the love interest for the 55-year-old lead.
It was Maggie Gyllenhall. And I stand corrected, she was 37.
Damn
I just ranted to @englandsdreaming about this last night, but this is why the “LOL Americans thought he was saying mum cause of his accent” tweets about Richard Madden in Bodyguard were so infuriating to me. Keeley Hawes is 8 years older than Richard Madden. She’s 41 years old. She could still conceivably give birth to an actual baby, and yet we’re so used to haggard grown ass men paired with girls not even out of adolescence, it’s more believable a woman with a grand total of like two wrinkles on her face is playing a grown man’s mother than his love interest.
Y’all ever think about how Beyoncé got invited to the CMAs, the most important award in country music, and people were pissed and then she rolled up and said “Oh y’all think that’s bad? Put your hands together for the Dixie Chicks!” and then they just jammed out on the most country fucking song ever and all those gross old men who run country radio and tried to say Beyoncé wasn’t welcome and had tried to destroy Natalie Maines career just had to sit there and take it?
not to be The Annoying Jew™ but Yiddish isn’t a “funny language” and it’s not a joke :) (ok for non jews to reblog btw)
I associate yiddish with such a mix of melancholy and joy because it is such an emotional and expressive language and it bums me out that it is so frequently flattened into “the funny language”
It also bums me out when people are like “languages naturally die over time, just let yiddish die out” and it’s like ummm something like 90% of the world’s yiddish speakers were murdered. That’s not a natural death of a language, it was a cultural casualty of genocide.
hey its halloween month. allow me to fill you all in on my late great darling baby bane of my life, jarvis. or jarv/boy boy (according to my mam), boyo, boy vey (according to a friend after he literally tried to climb her), seamus, and auld man.
● he once pulled down the christmas tree so he could sit in it to yowl
● he used to attack your ankles for no reason
● if you fussed him he would dribble like a tap and try to wipe it on you
● he once carried a toy cat around like a baby
● catnip made him want to bite plastic
● he hated hearing kittens meow on cat videos and would headbutt the speakers to try and “find” them
● he snored and it sounded like a fart
● he absolutely had to butt heads with you if you were holding him and would pause afterwards with his head angled funny. we learnt after a while he was waiting for us to headbutt him back
