Happiness Will Come To You.

When You Least Expect It. Probably Late March
reblog for happiness to come for you in late march!
I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.
honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March
they say "i wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy" and it's some shit i would wish on the 47th person down on my enemy list. im starting to think some of you don't have real enemies
The public is being shown just enough to know the truth, and to understand that nothing is going to happen.
Do Y’all remember the Pentagon Papers? When Daniel Ellsberg leaked them in 1971, the government panicked precisely because they all came out at once. The documents landed as a single, overwhelming moral event. They collapsed official narratives about Vietnam in one blow and ignited public outrage that couldn’t be staggered or softened. The lesson power learned from that moment was not “don’t lie,” but “never let the truth arrive whole again.” Since then, exposure has been redesigned to arrive in pieces that are manageable, deniable, and endlessly debatable. Do Y’all remember MKUltra? When details of the CIA’s human experimentation program began leaking in the 1970s, they didn’t surface as a single reckoning. They emerged through hearings, partial disclosures, missing files, and official shrugs. By the time the public understood the scale, which involved drugging civilians, experimenting on prisoners, and destroying records, the moment for accountability had already passed. The psychological effect was profound because people learned that even when the state admits to grotesque abuse, nothing necessarily follows. Remember Edward Snowden and the NSA surveillance revelations? This is one of the clearest modern parallels to the Epstein files debacle. At first, the disclosures were shocking. We saw mass data collection, warrantless surveillance, and the scope of the security state laid bare. But instead of a single, sustained confrontation, the information also arrived in waves. Each revelation triggered a brief spike of concern then followed by normalization. Over time, the public absorbed the idea that privacy was already gone and resistance was futile. Surveillance didn’t end. Folks simply adapted their expectations downward. The system didn’t change, but the public psyche did. You can also look at how the Catholic Church handled its abuse revelations. For decades, cases surfaced one diocese at a time, one report at a time, and one country at a time. The incremental exposure delayed full institutional reckoning and allowed the Church to posture as “addressing the issue” while continuing to protect itself. By the time the pattern was undeniable, many people were already exhausted, cynical, or resigned. Again, horror became procedural. What all these cases share is the same psychological outcome. When wrongdoing is revealed slowly, the public never experiences a unified moral demand moment. Instead, people are trained to live alongside the knowledge. To scroll past it. To argue about details. To accept that “this is just how it is” and nothing happens to powerful rich men.

it’s actually wild how terrified of the general public most usamericans are. like you don’t realize it if you’re someone who mostly walks and takes transit and spends a lot of time in populous public spaces but then you talk to one of the thousands of people that seemingly never set foot in any public space besides a parking garage or a starbucks and you suddenly understand why it’s so easy for fascist rhetoric about the dangerous alien to take root. this country’s median voter pretty much never interacts with strangers who aren’t their coworkers or people they met on dating apps
saw a post on instagram that was literally someone citing statistics saying public transit is one of the safest travel options out there and the comments were literally just “ummmmm op this is so ableist and misogynistic of you :) don’t you know the average public transit user is a dangerous violent criminal who wants to set you on fire :)))”
it must be so terrifying and sad to go through life convinced if you set foot outside your car in public or interact with people outside your nuclear family you’ll instantly be raped and robbed by the Evil Poors no wonder so many of these people are reactionary tar pits
Eternally relevant read is True Crime is Rotting Our Brains by Emma Berquist, a woman who actually experienced a (rare!) stranger-attack while just walking outside, and thinks that people who panic about this shit need to chill the fuck ouuuuuutt and also recognize how much they're using it to launder their bigotries
Edit: I've attempted to add this link at least three times and Tumblr is being stubborn, so let me try posting it on its own:

Since it’s Spotify Wrapped season I thought I’d share this reminder that streaming services are killing the music industry. Musicians can’t make a living like this. If you love an artist, find them on Bandcamp and actually buy their albums.
Reminder: This friday (December 5th) is Bandcamp Friday! That means 100% of the proceeds from album sales on Bandcamp go directly to the artists you buy from.
so many. stupid fucking people. smugly wrong. the term . "all art is political". does not mean. every artist puts political intent into their work. no. the guy drawing dicks on the subway did not intend any deep message by it. HOWEVER. all art. IS political. he chose to draw that dick. for a reason. society shaped what he finds funny. what he finds shocking. the fact he chose to draw a dick at all says something about his society. actually, the fact it is a dick and not a pussy is itself political. we are all. ALL. shaped by our environments. in an alternate universe a woman is drawing a vulva on the wall. and shes saying "TCH! this isnt political. stupid liberals". all art. has political CONTEXT. that is a more specific way to phrase it. because we live in a society. who has access to art? where is the art located? who is the artist? why did they draw that in that specific location. what led to them even having the sharpie they used to draw the dick to begin with. their society shaped their tools! their society shaped their choice of subject! their society shaped the location of their art! but these people are too stupid to understand this. so theyll continue pretending that they are not shaped by their political environment. SAD!
“is it weird to do this alone?” “is it pathetic to do that alone?” every day I pray you guys realize that sometimes doing things alone is the best way to do them
National Public Data is back online. Protect your privacy from it now - and check if other people-search sites have your information.
Over a year ago, National Public Data (NPD), a search site for people, earned a place in privacy infamy for a security breach that revealed the personal data of 3 billion individuals (that's billion with a "b"). Now, after disappearing, NPD is back. As ZDNET sister publication PCMag reported, NPD is open for snooping again under a new owner, the rather mysterious-sounding Perfect Privacy LLC.
Oh boy. Better head over to nationalpublicdata.com and see if your profile is there. Then follow the handy instructions in the ZDNET article to have yourself removed:
How to remove your information from NPD
Search your name on nationalpublicdata.com.
When you find your profile, click "View Full Profile."
Copy its URL.
Go to nationalpublicdata.com/optout.html.
Drop the URL into the "Your Profile Link" field and click "Request Removal."
Enter an email address, and the site will send you an email requesting that you click to confirm deletion.
You'll need a separate email address for each profile you want to delete.
Are you listed at the National Public Database site?
I was, and it was accurate. I requested removal.
I was, but it was only somewhat accurate. I requested removal.
I was, but everything was wrong. I requested removal.
I am. I tried to remove myself but it didn't work.
I am. People can look me up, whatever
Never looked, don't plan to.
Reblogging again with poll because I am curious.
Literally my everything was listed there. 😱
oh hey, gross. I just requested all my shit deleted and it looks like it was successful. If you didn’t know, now you know.
They really did have a shitload of my details. So I submitted the removal on a new email address. Nobody needs that information
I swear to God there has to be a tax evasion scheme involving this franchise or something. That's all I can think of that would account for it.
Like, you need to understand that this franchise is thirty fucking years old, every single game in it has sucked, none of them were even popular in a so-bad-it's-good way, two separate publishers have gone bankrupt, yet they just keep making more of them. Even without counting the remasters and compilations and such, this is like the seventh game in the series.
reading what you wrote about sabrina carpenter and whiteness-blondeness cultural obsession made the lightbulb go off about why white men are so obsessed with her: tswift, THE white blonde of the past 15 years, didn’t fulfill the cultural promise of delivering the dumb blonde slutty bimbo toy that men felt entitled to. white men think nature is healing because the blondes are doing what they’re “supposed” to do. sabrina is just the reaction to taylor, which is the reaction to women not following the script
I would say it's actually white women who are obsessed with her. Remember when Sydney Sweeny blew up and MAGA conservatives were acting like the mere existence of a blonde with large breasts having stardom is some kind of cultural win on their part. That's how left-leaning white girls are acting about Sabrina. It's like they finally have a white girl avatar that they actually want to be (Tswift is pretty but not a sex pot) so they're acting like her mere existence is some kind of feminist praxis. Very weird vibes.
Right. Sabrina talks about the same bullshit every other female artist out says. "Men suck sometimes :( but I like to fuck hehe" Content wise- her message is not that different from Meg Thee Stallion or Sexxy Redd. Sabrina might as well be singing "My pussy pink, my bootyhole brown". But because she looks like the head cheer captain white women wanna be they pretend every move she makes is some profound feminist commentary. They irritating as fuck. Just put on the bops about getting railed and not texting back and shut up.
FYI for any iPhone users who live in the USA, there's a new app out called IceBlock, which allows you to anonymously report ICE agent sightings
Worth a download if you've got an iPhone.
Stay informed about reported ICE sightings, within a 5 miles radius of your current location, in real-time while maintaining your privacy.
do not download this app or any like it.
it's going to be linked directly to your account and phone. it will not be anonymous, because apple can see anyone who downloads it. tech companies will happily sell your data.
i could not be more serious when i say y'all need to keep up on tech literacy. you cannot trust random apps, especially ones that claim to assist with antiestablishment activism.
use sites like this: https://latinxtherapy.com/report-ice/
One thing I’ve noticed about AI users is that they are completely repulsed by the notion of feeling bad or frustrated for even the slightest moment
Been trying to figure out how to phrase this nicely but tbh. I don’t care. If you’ve ever made a consistent effort at anything, you learn to enjoy and even look forward to discomfort.
Exercise. Writing. Drawing. Gardening. Anything that requires your physical effort is going to require discomfort in one way or another and you have to find a way to enjoy that discomfort, otherwise the best thing for you, and I’m gonna hold you hand when I say this, is to just give up.
Any creative can tell you that they’ve thought about quitting more often than not, but when you make it through that discomfort, when you work hard to figure out what you’re doing wrong/what you don’t know how to do, you start to anticipate discomfort because it you KNOW represents an opportunity to level up. It’s exciting to have a hard time with something, because it means you’re going to get really, really good at it as long as you persevere.
And idk, I’ve thought for a while now that AI users think they have some sort of right to avoid all of that. That they have the right to never ever feel bad at anything they try. It’s why I think “making something is more rewarding” is never really going to work as an argument against AI use, because AI users can’t make it past the fear of discomfort and difficulty.
This is a skill called "distress tolerance"!!! I learned about it in therapy, working on it for things like social anxiety, PTSD, tasks like unpacking boxes after multiple rapid moves...... it's a skill that CAN be built. Just because you struggle with it now doesn't mean you're that way forever. And yeah, the skill can recede, and it makes sense that generative AI would contribute to this in a whole new way.....
I don't have it in me right now to make a whole addendum about how to get better at it, but hopefully putting this out here can help people, at least!
with the ongoing ICE raids and anti-ICE protests in LA, please consider donating to bail funds for protesters through Jail Support LA. JSLA is a grassroots collective dedicated to helping people who face arrests at protests in los angeles.
as of today, june 9th, a US official has confirmed that 500+ marines will arrive in LA in the next 24 hours, arrests will only ramp up. please donate and reblog!
everything tyler perry makes is unjustified and we must fucking stop him.
Demisexuality vs. The World
The definition of demisexuality: not experiencing sexual attraction without a strong emotional bond.
The world: That’s what regular people do.
Reality: What allosexuals do is find someone sexually attractive and get to know the person, most likely via dating for a relative amount of time, to determine if they’re worth a relationship and/or having sex with. Thus, the results determine the action, not the attraction, which was already there.
For a demisexual, the results of interactions with a potential partner determine the attraction, which was not there already. So things like flirting aren’t really going to get our attention because we haven’t established a sexual attraction for the flirter.
There’s a “but” coming:
Even if a demisexual happens to develop a strong enough bond with another person, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will become sexually attracted to them, but they might be more open to intimacy with them.
Personally, unless we have had an honest, engaging conversation that makes me interested in seeing you more often, I won’t say yes to a date, even if I find you aesthetically attractive; and more often than not, I will be turned off if the conversation swings toward my body or sex. First impressions reveal first intentions.
