you can't come to my birthday party? aw dang, (remembers it's bad to guilt trip people) this doesn't matter to me at all (remembers to demonstrate that i am affected by you to affirm your positive presence in my life) but while you're away i will die (remembers not to guilt trip again) unpreventably. unrelated to you. don't worry about it. (remembers to express care through actions and not just words) you're in the will.

open tumblr, see something that pisses me off, write a snarky post, delete it, write a slightly more earnest post, edit it for 5 minutes, delete it, close tumblr

[redstonedust]

im bad to argue with because i have jesters blood if you misintepret me i'll just go along with it. when i was a teenager i was trying to explain the concept of the heterosexual default to someone and they were like "so you think everyone should become bisexual?" and i was like. what the hell sure. lets have legally enforced bisexuality. i'll die on a hill for the bit dont fuck with me.

my most toxic trait is i fucking love work gossip. i play neutral not to be the bigger person or take the high road but to hear slander and hearsay from every side. two coworkers complained about each other to me in the same afternoon and i nearly blacked out from the rush

my very first thought here:

[mosslingg]

My liege im sorry to break it to you but your advisor that's actually evil and wants you dead turned out to be straight. I know you really wanted to have an enemies to lovers situation with him. Yeah I'm afraid the poisoning didn't hold any romantic intent behind it. The king of the enemy kingdom is bisexual though, I could send him a letter? Yes, I'll make sure to include multiple threats of homoerotic nature. You will have your toxic yaoi, my liege

this trend of shitting on peer-reviewed academic studies in favor of tweeting “we already knew this was happening” is so soul-crushing. not to be an elitist cunt, but we have got to open the schools again. people genuinely seem to have forgotten that their personal lived experience isn’t indicative of the larger population, AND IF IT IS…… then you need researchers to support these assertions from a relevant data pool instead of a blog post from 2013 💀

"Believe women and the marginalized" does not replace the value of empirical data.

[grison-in-space]

it's also just so shitty being a scientist right now and seeing people shit on research at a time when the federal US government is trying to starve and strangle American research. like. when you say "oh we knew this already, there's no point funding research to prove it" we hear that our work doesn't have value. and if you think scientists aren't hanging out here on tumblr in our free time, well, think again.

[fallenangelvictorious]

It also ignores all the scientist who got into the field BECAUSE no one in power would believe them without empirical data. People who spend years documenting and analyzing data so it can’t be denied, so that when you need to speak to power you have a solid piece of evidence that holds weight in courts, schools, and doctors offices to stand on. Scientist who are trying to do research to lift their communities who then get spit on by said community saying ‘we already knew’ and ‘this research is pointless’.

Do you think there are no Native American scientist doing environmental research? No black women studying public health impactors? No neurodivergent pedagogy researchers? There are. They are some of the most passionate and driven scientists out there, because they are people trying to help the people and places they love.

You do your own community a discredit when you dismiss scientist doing ‘obvious’ studies because more and more often there are names on those studies from your community who have punched their way through a glass ceiling to stand before the world bloody knuckled and victorious to say “Look. Listen. Understand, accept, and change.”

The over-pronunciation of every word is so spot on lol

[fairycosmos]

your problem is you think if you communicate with clarity and earnestness that people will actually understand you

[calebwittebane]

Drives me a little nutty how some people infantilize N just because the game says he has an innocent and pure heart. His heart is pure not just because it’s his nature but also because he was forced to remain that way. His story I feel is meant to in part showcase how damaging and life changing not only isolation is, but especially when you aren’t allowed your own agency, how he is kept in a child’s room for most of his life, how they didn’t bother to give him more age appropriate things as he grew because Ghetsis wanted N to remain a pure child at heart while also forcing him to bear the very adult responsibility of being a pawn leader for a cult, Ghetsis wanted his cake and to eat it too and that resulted in a man who the moment he experienced the outside world again and got a taste of what it’s like to get push back, especially from someone who cares about him and treats him like an equal like the protagonist does, it’s the thing that single handily changes him for the better, to the point where when his world is shattered and his life was a lie, he grew enough to at least take comfort in the idea that he can explore the world, he’s allowed now to see new things and engage with them how HE wants to, on his own terms rather than be so limited in what he’s allowed to engage with. He no longer has to be a kid with an adult responsibility. Now he can repurpose his proper adult life into one with the child like whimsey he deserves

Basically all this to say I think N should be allowed to swear and drink and do some weed and engage in adult things and not have people clutch their pearls whenever someone depicts him doing that in fan work. This is a grown man who’s whole arc is about growing emotionally enough to choose to be the adult he is, let him drop an F bomb it’s healing for him

i think there is something to be said about this wave of white women made media that is so surface level with an underlying racist and/or insensitive bias and that refuses to engage with criticism. i'm talking taylor swift's the life of a showgirl, emerald fennell's wuthering heights, colleen hoover, the acotar series and booktok in general, etc. whenever you dare to raise concerns about the superficiality or the questionable writing or the treatment of poc in those pieces you get shut down with a "it's not that deep" or "let women have fun". this weaponisation of misogyny to justify slop made for mass consumption, especially considering how wide spread it is becoming, scares me quite a bit. to quote princess weekes, "the girlypopification of anti-intellectualism" is truly concerning, and i do believe it is linked to the rise of far right movements worldwide. if you refuse to engage with what you are being presented with, and exclusively consume brain smoothing content "for fun" then yeah you do become more susceptible to propaganda. it is that deep.
