Y'know. Can't remember the last time I saw a dickbutt.
tiktok can’t outdo the doer
To be fair tiktok WAS first to do this (Ships of the northern fleet)
The Homestucks on here were pretending the Squiddles were a real show (and the comic was actually an anime) like a decade ago on here.
the sun literally sets and casts a golden hue over everything every single day and we fucked it all up and invented paying rent
This is why aliens don’t want us in their Starfleet.
Are you fucking kidding this is why aliens should be begging us to join their Starfleet. The precision?? The CONTROL?? The absolute mastery this driver has over their 20+ ton of steel is superhuman. This person could weave a mothership through an asteroid belt without making a single scratch on the hull. Foh “aliens don’t want us” aliens should be sucking our dicks.
#lmaoooo #shut up the aliens would see this and go #oh these bitches throw down #like what are you talking about #a vulcan would look at this and go golly well i’ll be surak on a stick that aint half illogical
i used to work in an industry that relied on commercial trucks and let me tell you…a good driver, a driver like this, was worth their weight in gold-pressed latinum
I wish all of you would understand that “non-binary” and “androgynous” are not synonyms. And yes, that means you, even though you already consider yourself a trans ally, or maybe are even trans yourself.
Non-binary and androgynous are not synonyms. There are non-binary people who, say, love sports and have rugged beards. There are non-binary people who maybe love fashion and have long hair. There are non-binary people who are none of these things. They’re all equally non-binary.
And yes, this DEFINITELY includes non-binary people who were amab and are masculine, and non-binary people who were afab and are feminine.

[ID: A tweet from @/pastoralcomical that reads: 'it's crazy that they only figured out tectonic plates in the 60s. a child in the 50s would say "it seems like south america and africa would fit together" and his mom would go "that's cute honey would you like a cigarette"' /End ID]
My Dad actually experienced the transition in a really funny way!
He grew up in a little farming community right outside a mid-sized city. They had a three-room elementary school (first and second grade, third and fourth grade, fifth and sixth grade), but then after that they went to middle and high school in the big schools in the city. Except, they had a special experimental program for kids in 5th and 6th grade they had identified as advanced in every school in and around the city, where they bussed them all in to a central place for advanced teaching half a day once a week. And Dad was in this program in like 1965.
Except, there wasn’t really a set curriculum or anything, because it was experimental. They just had a couple of their best teachers do whatever they wanted with the kids. It was nothing like the later “gifted” programs,” it was a lot less pressure and a lot more interesting things. One of the things they learned was plate tectonics, which was not just cutting edge, it was bleeding edge science at the time. So my Dad learns all about plate tectonics and goes home just happy as a clam.
Not much later, he’s getting a geology/geography lesson in his regular 5th grade class, and it’s out of the standard textbook with the standard explanations from the pre-plate tectonics theories.
So my Dad pipes up that actually that’s all wrong, because he learned it in his special class!
And the teacher says, “All right then, if you think you know better, you teach the class.”
My Dad is autistic, though undiagnosed. (In the 60s, extremely few people were getting diagnosed.) He did not notice the social undercurrents.
He said, “sure!” and popped up and took the eraser and erased her diagrams from the chalkboard, took the pointer out of her hand, and taught the class what he’d learned in his special program. While the class was sitting there in shock and fear because they could see how the teacher was seething with rage. But he didn’t notice, he just taught the class and then sat back down.
The teacher sent home a nasty note and had a talk with his parents. But my grandparents were not sympathetic, because after all, it was her own fault. If she didn’t like what my Dad did, she shouldn’t have made the offer for him to teach.
A white: but saying Asians are naturally smart is POSITIVE discrimination:)))
Me: The model minority myth was invented by whites as a tool of antiblackness to create divisions between communities of color and prove that ‘anyone can succeed in America if they just TRY hard enough!!1!’ thereby implying that antiblackness is black ppl’s own fault for not TRYING enough. Additionally, it relies on false interpretations of data and hurts the opportunities of all Asians, particularly less privileged ones, and dehumanizes Asians by furthering stereotypes of us as some kind of innately robot-like monolithic-minded hive, devalues our individual accomplishments and uses us as a tool to further antiblackness
i love this post
As a teacher, I can say with certainty that “smart” stereotypes are absolutely not positive for my Asian students. A few things I’ve heard repeatedly:
- Asian student gets the highest grade on a test; other students say, “Well, of course he/she got an A.” Any work the student did is minimized because it’s assumed perfect scores come naturally.
- Asian student is in a class for lower-performing students; other students question aloud whether he/she is really Asian and/or in the right class.
- Asian student gives a wrong answer in an advanced class; other Asian kids say, “You can’t be on our team anymore.” White kids say, “You’re one of us today.” Jokes ensue.
- Teachers complain that Asian students did poorly on district or state tests. Actual quote: “With a name like that, he should have brought up our class average.”
Those are just some of the most common comments, but there are many others. There is no way this stereotype is positive for these kids.
