If I try hard enough, I can forget but
        a part of me wishes to keep my hand on these memories,
           to feel them to their ends. Earlier today, I touched
                      a hot pan and dropped my dinner, then flinched
           as I waited for the voice. Once, I let a lover
        place his hands around my throat. I don’t want
to like it. My body, powerless with another;
        forgiveness before I can even shape the words.

Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo, a coconut is a mammal.

I know you’re being facetious, but this is an actual issue with morphology-based phylogeny.

*leans over and whispers to person beside me* what are they talking about

*leans over and whispers back*  Human ability to quantify and categorize natural phenomena is sketchy at best and wildly misleading at worst

consider the coconut

this reminds me of that time Plato defined humans as “featherless bipeds” and Diogenes ran in with a plucked chicken screaming “BEHOLD A MAN!”

i love how you say “it reminds me of that time” like you were there.

listen if an immortal feels brave and supported enough to come out we should respect them

This post is a journey

I maintain that humans started attempting classify animals, and some god or another made the platypus, and is still laughing.

Zeus: *hits joint* okay so like. It’s gonna have a duck bill right. But an otter body okay? And then a beaver tail. It’s a mammal. But. It lays eggs!

Hades: wait wait dude. Give it. Give it poison. Make it poisonous

Athena: You mean venomous, and make sure the eggs have both reptile and bird traits.

Hermes: *takes the joint* Give it extra senses.

Poseidon: It should be aquatic.

I MEAN where’s the lie

Demeter: … And where exactly do you expect me to put this?

Everyone: Australia.

Reblogging for that last exchange.

parents who tell their daughters they are ugly are bad parents

everyone who is replying to this with some variety of “that’s just how life is”

no

your parents fucked up and should not have treated you that way

they were wrong and you should say it

This includes implied ugliness.

  • you need to lose weight
  • you’ll attract more boys if
  • you’re wearing that?
  • i wouldn’t wear that
  • this will flatter you more
  • you should wear more makeup

this applies to any kid btw not just girls

parents who tell their kids they’re ugly are bad parents

Hanging out with old people rules because after a while they trust you enough to confess to murder totally unprompted

Wait what.

Sometimes old ladies had to kick the ladder out from under their stepfathers when they were girls and that’s valid

oh, my little old lady murder story was her replacing the medication in her abusive husband’s capsules with rat poison.

“back in the day, our grandmothers worked on their marriages and didn’t get divorced!” nah, friend, they COULDN’T get a divorce so sometimes they killed their fuckin husbands. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My grandma murdered her first husband the first time he beat their daughter.

I went caroling at a nursing home once and the conversation went from “your voices are lovely” to “I shot people during the war” rather quickly.
