"this is going to be a generalized take, so please forgive me, but women are an underrated enforcer of femininity.
"I've noticed this with hairdressers. multiple times I've gone to lady hairdressers and said "cut it all off," and they've gone "hmm alright," and basically just trimmed the split ends. meanwhile I can go to a dude and say "hey, can you make my hair slightly shorter?" and he'll go "on it boss," and shave me bald.
"twice now, I've also had lady tattoo artists add pink to femme up a tattoo, despite that not being on the initial design.
"god, also thinking about this brought back a memory. my mom once threw a fit because my shoes were "too masculine" (they were black women's flats), saying that I'd upset my dad and ruin the formal event we were going to. I wore the shoes, my dad didn't give a shit.
"I dunno. it just feels like the misogyny is coming from inside the house sometimes."

“Cats don’t actually love you”
A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.
Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.
Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic. source

i love greek superstitions. you make a statement that sounds crazy or improbable but then someone sneezes right after, so what you said was actually correct. someone must be thinking about you because you got the hiccups. you say the same thing as someone else at the same time, so now you both have to touch something red. you suddenly have a headache and feel like shit, that's obviously a sign someone you met earlier is jealous of you. you just met a younger family member after a long time and they've grown so much, it's only natural that you spit on them so the devil won't get them. you accidentally dropped a glass and it shattered on the floor, but that's okay because it will bring you good luck. it's the 1st of march, make sure to wear a red-and-white-thread bracelet so you won't get a sunburn ! source

MSNBC host Jen Psaki asks Gov. Wes Moore if it's time for soldiers to start questioning the regime's orders.
When even the loyalists start wondering if orders are lawful, it means the rot at the top is undeniable.

"Depression isn't always suicide notes and pill bottles. It's also...
"Being emotionally distant
Skipping work to sleep
"Overeating or not eating at all
Faking a smile

Spending all day in bed

"Cognitive Biases
Master Them Before They Master You
"Confirmation Bias
We seek information that confirms existing beliefs, and ignore contrary evidence
Example: Only following news sources you agree with
Fix: Actively seek opposing viewpoints; before decisions, assign a "devil's advocate"
"Sunk Cost Fallacy
We keep investing because we already have, even when it's not rational
Example: A company pours money into a failing product because they've already invested
Fix: Ask, "If I were starting today, would I still invest?"
"Halo Effect
Our impression of one trait impacts how we see unrelated ones
Example: A well-dressed
candidate is assumed to be more competent
Fix: Seek evidence, not reputation, appearance, or confidence
"Recency Bias
Recent events have a stronger influence on decisions
Example: A manager rates an source
