A blog of things I like and that's all. If I like it I blog it, whether from a different region, dialect, religion, or gender. I rarely ever tag so please forgive me. I've recently deleted and tiktok and am using tumblr to cope ✨️

Credit card companies will TRY to saddle you with this kind of debt by the way - if ever a loved one dies and you are not co-signed on their credit card, do NOT agree to pay their debt unless you ask a lawyer first if you truly have to.

They will say “don’t you want them to go to the grave without debt”, they will try to guilt you, they will take advantage of your vulnerability.

Source: when my father died, he had some credit cards that my mom wasn’t on that she had no access to. The companies contacted her while she was sorting through the bills and getting a handle on how to run the house alone, badgering her with his credit card debt.

She wasn’t liable for any of it, but if she had ever agreed to pay before finding out that she didn’t need to, she would have been considered to have taken on his debt and would have HAD to pay it. It’s slimy, it’s predatory, and it’s entirely legal for them to do this.

Never accept the credit card company’s word about your obligation to pay anyone else’s debt, if you don’t have access to the card, ask a lawyer before agreeing to anything.

It's no coincidence that every sign of showing frustration or confusion is considered disrespectful when a child does it to a parent.

A child raising their voice, not enough to strike terror and not even enough to startle, but barely enough to show frustration, is considered disrespectful. Meanwhile, in a typical conversation between two adults, the same amount of voice-raising would happen on a regular basis and people would think nothing of it.

A child rolling their eyes, which is caused by confusion and can easily be involuntary, is considered disrespectful.

If a child found another way to express confusion or frustration, that would eventually be added to the list of things that are considered disrespectful.

The goal is to make it so the child is afraid to show confusion or frustration. Then, when the child shows no confusion or frustration, the parent can pretend that the child is happy and that the parent is doing a good job. The parent can then pat themself on the back and congratulate themself for a job well done while never having to actually care what effect they have on the child.

Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.

I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.

[quasi-normalcy]

Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.

[quasi-normalcy]

#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain

Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"

[quasi-normalcy]

I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

If this isn't already on Tumblr, it deserves to be.

[a-delicate-touch]

some of y'all are in denial that you have a fetish and it makes me sad fr

[a-delicate-touch]

if you:

can't cum unless x is involved in sex

get incredibly horny and aroused when x IS involved in sex

don't find interest in sex if x is not involved in some way shape or form

then congratulations, you have a fetish!! and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! fetish isnt a bad or ugly thing, it's just something that's a part of your sexuality, and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

unless you're into that 😉

[i-suggest-vore]

Hey if you don't have a fetish but are on the lookout for one then I have a suggestion
