me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.

[nojerama1996]

This. Please. Whether I'm avoiding spoilers for a show or people promoting eating disorders, if I block a tag it means I don't want to see it. Spell your fucking tags properly.

The Jewish transgender couple who fell in love and escaped the Nazis

This is the story of Toni and Charlotte who escaped the Nazis. It's the first Trans+ History Week article of 2024

Prague, 1942. A refugee Jewish couple light Shabbat candles as night falls. The words of their Shabbes prayer ignite the Friday night darkness, alongside the hesitantly kindling flame. Together they create a holy space of rest in the middle of an increasingly hostile world that persecutes them: for their faith, their sexuality, and because both women are trans.

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.

Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.

Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.

Well, Isn't That Capitalism

Hey hey, it's me, Paige!

Things have been... well, not great for me.

After a disastrous stint at a telemarketing job that amounted to making scam calls all day, I am unemployed!

*crowd cheers*

Things are starting to look grim as this month grows long, though, and I am increasingly desperate to pay my utilities

I am becoming painfully aware that I am ever more unemployable as the days go by, so. you know. there's that

Please help a trans woman in need of a little mutual aid! But yeah, thank you all the same~

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

"Problematic" has now become the modern-day equivalent of "satanic", "witch", "evil", "unpatriotic", or the timeless classic, "pedo".

Just fling it at whomever you don't like, or whatever makes you vaguely uncomfortable, whether or not it's accurate or fair or objective, and other people have no choice but to get on that bandwagon if they don't wanna be seen as also problematic. Because apparently, in this social-media age where everyone puts their lives online 24/7, everyone is terrified of not being perfect. No way we're allowed to have flaws.

Same way it was unsafe to criticize the invasion of Iraq after 9/11 - the same way there's literally no way to fight against someone who shuts down any argument by calling you a pedo. It's become a weapon of abuse and manipulation.

There's a term for that well-known to survivors of narcissistic abuse: smear campaign.

Spotted: Deep-sea besties doing deep-sea things 🐙💞⁠

Grimpoteuthis octopuses use the movement of their large fins and arms to propel themselves through the water. They are affectionately called the "dumbo" octopuses because of those flapping fins. This group of octopuses is typically found on or near the deep seafloor, where they use finger-like cirri on their arms to catch small crustaceans, worms, and other prey items.⁠ ⁠ The seafloor squish next to this cutie pie cephalopod is a sea pig (Scotoplanes sp.). Sea pigs are one of the most commonly sighted animals on the deep seafloor off Monterey Bay. Unlike most sea cucumbers, which have stumpy tube feet tucked beneath their bodies, sea pigs use their long, stilt-like tube feet to suspend their bodies above the soft mud.
