god it would be awesome if the human brain could just ignore an upsetting thing instead of constantly wandering back to it for no fucking reason

chapter 5 weird route?

[girlballs]

not everything is about media

[asneakyfox]

the reason you, a white american, believe that white americans don't have culture is the same reason fish don't believe in water

[asneakyfox]

yes i know you think it's an antiracist statement, that you're saying it's a bad thing white americans don't have culture. but what you're actually saying is that the way white americans live is simply the normal way to live and that "culture" refers only to deviations from that norm

[asneakyfox]

there's real holidays and then there's, you know, cultural holidays. there's regular foods and there's ethnic foods

[asneakyfox]

this is not (just) about "cultural christianity," an idea that gestures at a real thing but the way tumblr talks about it is mostly not useful, i'm talking about stuff much broader than that.

making yourself a ham sandwich with mayo on white bread is a cultural practice just as much as making jollof rice is a cultural practice.

[asneakyfox]

if you feel some kind of yearning as a white american to connect with your Ancestral Culture you can get really into wearing lederhosen or playing bagpipes or whatever. but you could also just learn to understand the way you are living right now as a culture and not some kind of neutral default absence of culture

weighted blanket's not enough i need to be compressed by a hydraulic press

there’s a t-shirt that says “I survived a bad day and all I got was the rest of my life” and yeah I still think about it

Concept: A gender reveal party but AFTER the kid is born.

Like when the kid is 6 or 12 or 18 or 24. When the kid has decided what their gender is or isn’t.

Every time I see this I feel extremely fragile about ‘loving you is the easiest thing in the world’

[localvoidcreature62]

Babe. Are you okay?. You reblogged the “loving you is the easiest thing in the world” post twice

[abyssaldyke]

*smirking* you couldn't waterboard that out of me, but even if torture was an effective method of information extraction and not a futile display of state-sanctioned sadism, the high percentage of false confessions it produces would mean that even if you could waterboard it out of me, could you even trust the veracity of my statement?

[dramatic-dolphin]

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.

“we live in an uncaring universe” yeah dude and I live in an uncaring house. and I shit in an uncaring toilet. but do you touch an uncaring lover? do you comfort an uncaring child? do you guide to sleep each night a cold and uncaring self?

[angel-derangement]

please hurry up in reblogging this I wanna jorts it before someone puts it in one of those heartwarming tiktok slideshows

[ablubluh]

i was like 'what could jorts it possibly mean' but as with many things clicking the original post immediately clarified the situation

i think we need copyright reform. currently most works are protected by copyright for the life of the author plus 70 years. here are my two proposals.

18 years. this is enough time for the work to grow to adulthood and begin to care for itself

life of the author + zero years. i like this one because it encourages you to kill people

[james-spooky]

[fluentisonus]

they're trying to get me to do something called ""my job"" instead of reading about medieval english poaching laws

ancient greek word of the day: κακοθερής (kakotherēs), unfitted to endure summer heat

[aphilologicalbatman-deactivated]

[pansyfemme]

[bagofcoldnoodles]

[pansyfemme]

because of sexual desires i will not disclose here.

We need to isolate and start selectively breeding the plastic eating bacteria so we can optimise their efficiency, and then somehow splice their DNA into the gut bacteria of an obligate carnivore, so we can put it in our cats gut biomes so they'll finally be free of having to choose between whether they want to eat plastic or whether they want to live.
