I do actually wonder if part of the reason people start believing ancient aliens type conspiracy bullshit is because they're so divorced from labor they don't understand that a bunch of guys could absolutely quarry a large rock, move it somewhere, and build something with it because that's not actually all that hard or complicated. I've seen people use a simple chisel and hammer to crack boulders the size of houses clean in half, this stuff is a skill that needs to be learned ofc, but the idea that it was impossible for humans to build large, complex, sturdy structures with relatively "primative" tools is so silly I struggle to understand how someone could believe that unless they legit have no idea how labor works.

It's the same beef I have with Fallout. I know they excuse humans being so slow to redevelop society with all "knowledge being lost in the war" but that's just...not how things work. Humans figured out construction and farming very early. There's no way for humans to truly forget how to do this stuff, especially since people survived and could preserve and share what they know. But I just cannot fathom how in 300 years no one's figured out construction or fiber arts or soap making or anything humans have historically figured out super early in the process of being human.

And the only way I can see someone write a world like that is if they either didn't care (fine, it's not real and I get digging the apocalypse vibe) or were so divorced from the process of labor and creation that they actually think those things are way too hard for someone to figure out on their own.

If you think humans couldn't do these things without being taught or helped you have a very warped idea of technological progress and human ingenuity. No one taught humans how to build and create, we figured it out on our own, and it was not just smacking rocks together until something clicked either, ancient humans were just as intelligent as modern ones, they could use logic and reasoning to figure out how to do something new based on what they already know.

Idk it's a theory anyway, but I really do think it's interesting how as a kid I def could believe doing these things is impossible for ancient humans to being an adult who knows things and literally cannot even comprehend believing any of the incredible things ancient humans can do were "impossible" in any way. It wasn't. Humans are incredible, stop underestimating us. And crack open some wiki pages or even youtube tutorials so you get a grasp of how the world works, it's good for you.

You'll never guess what video inspired this post lmao

Guys maybe this is on me but I kinda figured "it was mostly racism" was a given and not something I had to say, especially with the whole "part of the problem" thing above? But yes, it's mostly racism and—given that people don't tend to say this about east asian cultures—anti-blackness and a fair bit of eugenics, it's just that no issue has a single source, and the fact that people are alienated from labor to the degree they think basic shit all humans figured out is so impossible you'd need aliens to teach you is part of it. Most people don't think "they weren't white and so they're stupid" even if that's the unconcious core of it, some genuinely do just have no idea how construction works, and we cannot correct a problem if we refuse to recognize it in all it's forms. Especially when I have seen plenty of people saying this same stuff about fucking Stonehenge.

The rest is racism. I know.

I was at the market today and a young man was very rude to the tea vendor. He said the tea was "just hot leaf water." Then proceded to laugh at the vendor.

He is correct. It is hot leaf water. And the leaves matter. And the temperature of the water matters. And the vessel you drink it from matters. And who you share it with matters most of all.

Everything is "just" something, if you are determined to miss the point.

gothic horror is when there's a location. cosmic horror is when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing. folk horror is when you're outside.

Okay, what is it when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing lurking outside of a location?

Then you’re in John Carpenter’s 1982 masterpiece The Thing

You want an example of finding fandom antiblackness in the wild, OUTSIDE of Tumblr? I get TVL updates because I watch the trailers, and one of the "original Anne Rice" fans was talking about why she didn't like the new series. And one of the things she did was make a decent argument that it should have been an original series.

But one line just sent me into hysterics as I realized that I was back in KKKaren territory.

"Changing Louis from a reluctant slave owner to a willful pimp alters him from a tragic Byronic anti-hero caught in a net of despair, to a strong willed black man who willing sells women for profit. Again, a fascinating story, but not Louis’s."

RELUCTANT SLAVE OWNER.

WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE VALUE OF THE NARRATIVE OF A RELUCTANT SLAVE OWNER 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that poor poor owner of human beings who feels so bad about it 🤣 bruh. I'm sorry. Like. No please, actually. I dont think that between the Black man running a brothel, and a white man who owns human beings, that the one who owns human beings is the one whose perspective I should value equally 🤣

Also, "strong willed" is crazy when you consider all the bullshit Louis has let slide 😭 like this entire argument is racist in and of itself (as if Louis too, is not tragic and caught in a web of despair in everything he goes through, diminished down to an Angry Black Pimp in this white woman's eyes) but to suggest that somehow I'm supposed to feel more sorry... For the slave owner... OKAY! Sometimes character analysis... Is incorrect and racist...

It's the #wickedwomenauthor, btw. The content creator who shared this tiktok.

Funniest thing is, other people's comments disagreeing for this creator's media illiteracy got to stay, but I was IMMEDIATELY unable to comment because I IMPLIED that I knew what we were dealing with. 🤣😭

opened the comments on a post and tumblr somehow had a half written comment already autofilled from the last time I saw that post. which was at least two years and several computers ago. what does this site's back end look like

im curious about a specific generational divide

regardless of you being queer or not, did your parents ever gave you the "if you turn out to be gay it would be fine" talk, before you ever had the chance to say anything on your own about that?

gen z, yes

gen z, no

millenial, yes

millenial, no

gen x, yes

gen X, no

baby boomer, yes

baby boomer, no

Remaining time: 5 days 16 hours

because it happened to me and im wondering if this was a product of the ongoing cultural change around gay issues. before i ever had the chance to say to my parents "i am this" my mom was already sitting me aside to tell me "if there is anything you want to tell me, i want you to know ill accept you no matter what"

#millennial no #but my sister did #but! it only counted if she actually had a partner #being ace was Big Bad apparently

Ok. What you're gonna want to do is chop up a cucumber and put it in a bowl. Then you're gonna sprinkle a generous portion of salt on top. Then you're gonna drizzle them with a balsamic vinaigrette and gently shake to combine, leaving you with a cool and refreshing summer snack. In 15 seconds dangerous and burly men are going to drag me away to an unknown second location. Remember everything I've taught you. I love you
