the reason why other ppl with learning/developmental disabilities can't read like they did in middle school & high school was because books were the easiest way to access serotonin & dopamine since you weren't allowed to use your phone, & they also gave you something to hyperfocus on as a means of mental escape. entering college & the adult world means you can freely use your tech so you can access serotonin/dopamine faster, making books seem less "interesting" in comparison when in reality your mind is just used to the instant gratification, which isn't bad at all. it's like making your own dinner vs ordering out.

what does it say about us as a culture that most of our microwaves have a dedicated popcorn button

[cognito-ergo-hazard]

i dont know but whatever it says, its magnified by literally every bag of popcorn saying "don't use the popcorn button"

anticapitalism…is about solidarity. like the whole basis of capitalist ideology is that personal gain is worth more than anything. anticapitalism, therefore, is the practice of supporting others despite capitalism’s insistence that we must care only about those issues that immediately impact us…so it’s deeply ugly to call yourself an anticapitalist & yet pursue only your personal liberation.

I am reminded of a film about a young man who comes upon a rat in the streets of Paris. This rat is special; he has been gifted with a talent for the culinary arts. He transcends his station as vermin. Yet he is cursed to live a half life, his greatest talent confined to the kitchen in which he will never be welcome. Yet he strives to live; he conducts himself through the young man, concealed within the chef’s toque. The man becomes marionette to the rat - yet the rat himself is puppet to the whims of his own ability, unable to find significance in the simplicity of his species’ station. In the end, it is only the food which escapes the cruel influence of obligation. It is constituted not by what it must do, but only by what it has always been. Tell me, Will, are you the rat? The young man, controlled? Or are you, perhaps… the food?

I know you’re gay, but the fact that you would accuse us of “turning against our own” makes me think you’re not actively involved, because that’s not what is happening in communities here. The reason I said LGB is because that’s what you used in the ask I was responding to. I’m an older woman who does activism for gay youth. I’m sorry that my ask was perceived negatively, but I think it’s sad that when lesbians ask gay men to hear us, we get called “TERFs” and told “bye transphobe.”

You really came here questioning if I’m “actively involved” with my own damn community? Simply existing as a gay man makes me “actively involved.” To live and breathe this experience is as active as one can get.

Even though I haven’t personally been ostracized within the community, I absolutely know others have. I’m a middle-class white cisgender man. I recognize this comes with it a level of privilege within the LGBTQ+ community with which I know it’s my obligation to understand that not everyone else is as fortunate. I don’t need to partake in activism or even be part of the community to see how gay bars turn away LGBTQ individuals who “don’t look right,” or to go on dating apps and see how trans individuals are shamed for not being “real men”

I don’t care who you are, but your angle is insulting not just to me but to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community who has been marginalized by those within this self-proclaimed inclusive space. Your dismissal of their experiences makes you part of the problem that you’re apparently active in trying to resolve
