As a new cox i have come to the realization that coxing is 70% sitting in a puddle of cold water, 20% getting splashed by your rowers, and 10% wondering if there actually is a log right in front of your boat or are you just seeing things

To add onto that 10% is wondering if that big thunk you heard was a log hitting the bottom of the boat and snapping off the skeg or a rower shoving their oar into the oarlock

mbti as things I’ve said as the coxswain of a rowing team

ISTJ: “Do you WANT to ram a bridge and die today?”

INTJ: “And on our starboard side, you can see the Mines of Moria.”

ISTP: “Please don’t sing Hozier in the boat.”

INFJ: “Don’t push off you idiots I’M STILL ON THE DOCK!”

INFP: “Is everyone still alive? No deaths today?”

ESFP: “hey uh did anyone remember the boat snacks?”

ENFP: *accidentally presses the siren button on the coach’s megaphone*

ENTP: “We are STRONG! We are MEN!” *is a 115-lb woman*

ENTJ: “I will not refer to you as ‘matey’, but I will answer to ‘captain’.”

ESTJ: “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T PEE OUT THE SIDE OF THE BOAT.”

ISFJ: *sneezes into the mic*

ISFP: “I’m small, frozen, and responsible for steering. Leave me alone.”

INTP: “This is the warship, lads.”

ESTP: “I know what a penis looks like, actually.”

ESFJ: “I’m not allowed to swear during a race but you get the idea.”

ENFJ: *messes up a call* “DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHATEVER I JUST SAID.”

As an ENFJ Coxswain, I agree.

oppression isn’t generational and trying to frame politics as “the old people are wrong and the young people are right” erases the fact that there are old people who have been fighting the good fight for decades and the fact that there are young people who are literally nazis

Plus while there might be less old people fighting the good fight it’s usually because they were killed or were part of the minorities that have poor living conditions that kill you early

As came up recently, in fact: Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Don’t Survive to Become Seniors

i really dont know how to say this properly but calling women “raw” and “un-pretty” for simply existing without makeup is really so fucking stupid and counter-intuitive like we dont tell men they look raw or unhandsome for not putting makeup on like. 

like SHUT UP about mitski looking ugly and raw for going on camera untouched bro it really speaks volumes as to how this “let women be ugly” movement ESPECIALLY in regards to nonwhite women is so fucking….messy
