the version of you from five years ago would be genuinely amazed by what you’ve handled since then. sit with that for a second

Any time you feel like you’re behind (especially if you’re in your 20s, but this applies to literally anyone) just look yourself in the mirror and be like “boo hoo you didn’t peak when u were 17. So sad. Whatever shall u do” and I promise u will instantly feel so silly for ever worrying about it

all movies are for children because the moving image is inherently juvenile. to be entertained by it even moreso

cadet-abysmal

Random tumblr blog roleplays as a philosopher. Shocks the masses by using big words just to say they think theyre better than you because you watch movies. WHHAAAAT?

cheaphalloweencostume

thats right

cheaphalloweencostume

the biggest word in this post is “entertained”

winterhartarts

Anyway photography, silent films, and “talkies” (moving pictures with sound) were all invented and made by adults and mostly for adults as the audience

last time i checked its basically just Boss Baby out there. not entertaining to a high-earning professional. he’s not even actually the boss he’s a baby

Everybody shut up I've fixed elections

Here is my pitch. This system:

doesn't introduce the complex electoral maths of proportional representation and other ranked voting systems

forces candidates to put forward a positive case for their position instead of a negative case for the opposition

allows for a more nuanced choice by voters, giving more direct mandate to the winners

could use all the same counting infrastructure as current elections

what is this miracle? simples. 1 man 2 votes. I call them the Best and Worst votes.

you vote for the candidate you most want to win, as in any election. then you vote for the candidate you most DON'T want to win. not a ranked voting system. Two votes. A Yes vote AND a Fuck Off vote.

count time, we probably get rid of anyone who gets less than a 5% vote share TOTAL (this is to avoid a turbocentrist situation where the best way to win an election is to have nobody notice you and never express an opinion). THEN we calculate NET votes for each candidate (ie a For is 1 vote, an Against is -1). obviously whoever has the highest net total wins.

obviously the main advantage is that this allows equal weight to both strong positive feeling (I Like This Guy) and strong negative feeling (Anyone But Farage!!!) whereas the current system treat then as interchangeable. and then labour twats could shut up about 'hold your nose and vote for the Less Evil Neoliberals or the fascists win!!!' because you can just. register a vote that you would prefer Not Fascism, and get on with voting for a party whose policy you actually LIKE. and maybe flyers would lay out what a party stands for instead of 'ONLY PARTY X CAN BEAT THE BAD PARTY!!!' so voters could make like. Positive informed decisions. and so could parties!!!!

a side advantage is that close elections could abruptly move from being like 20,000 votes to 19,959 votes to like. 4 votes to -10 votes. which is WAY funnier. and if enough people hated a party or candidate (like Alba or Reform or Ash Regan) they could get like. -10,000 votes. which is even funnier.

Can we support him please?!

comfygiant

I would love to share this with everyone who may happen to see this post. Please support this wonderful human being. He spent nearly a half century in prison for a crime he never committed. And the only thing that kept him going was his artistic endeavors. He deserves the best life can offer anyone ❤️

people on here are always saying “we NEED a story where the art of storytelling is abandoned” like ugh literary devices are soo annoying like that wouldn’t happen in real life that only happened to further the story (why is there story in my story) why would orpheus turn around when he was explicitly told not to why would icarus fly so close to the sun romeo&juliet catcher in the rye why are they so earnest why pour your heart and soul into anything why bother why cant all art be quippy logical monotony like my marvel movies there’s a void in my heart bc i refused to fill it and the curtains were blue

“i hate poetry its so pretentious” but then you reblog a quote or a throwaway line and say “why does this go so hard” you are desperate for poetry you are starved for it and u dont even realise you’re hungry

sycamorality

"why is the character like that" >look inside character >it's the author's subconscious attempt to love themself

sycamorality

this is meant positively by the way. sometimes you love the character so much you end up putting a piece of yourself in it to learn how it is to love yourself without realising and thats ok.

Truly, I believe this.

How many cartoons can you name where a Black boy is the hero? Not the sidekick, not the comic relief, but the center of the story, the one who gets to dream, to fall, to grow, to save the day. For too many Black boys, the first time they see themselves reflected back isn’t in a world of imagination it’s in headlines, obituaries, or mugshots. That kind of visibility shapes how the world sees them, and how they begin to see themselves.

FLY exists to shake up that narrative.

A coming of age story about Black kids who finally have power to fight back against systems designed against them.

I was going to post this tomorrow, because it has been a long day, but after watching yet another meltdown on another website that could have been avoided, I feel the need to bestrow the one piece of advice you need to function online.

You need to fucking block people.

I mean it. Shithead in your comments? Block them. Someone with an annoying fandom opinion? Block them. Guy cluttering up the tags with a weird crossover idea? Block all of them.

Anti-block culture is a fucking conspiracy designed to make you a target of harassment. Block people for any reason whatsoever. If you're worried about hurting someone's feelings, you can always unblock them later. Mute posts if you can't bring yourself to block someone, but you must be willing and able to disengage from bullshit that threatens to suck you in.

No one is entitled to see your shit. Turn those privacy settings and trim your feeds of constant annoyances. It's not about them, it's about your comfort. You've gotta make your online spaces a place you want to be in, and blocking people will help.

mycosylivingroom

Also if random people follow you just to creep into your dm box and you feel uncomfortable you can block them.

sunanthrope

You can even block people who are otherwise fine, you just find them annoying. You can block people whose blog theme is obnoxious. Or if they have the same name as an abuser you arent ready to heal from yet. Or if they dont tag an obscure trigger and you dont feel like asking them to. Or if their pfp is an anime character you don't vibe with.

You can block anyone you want. Take my hand. You can block them for ANY REASON. Anything is a good enough reason. If you don't curate your space it'll never be curated.

Also in my experience people dont even notice or care that they're blocked anyway.

>Predominately Black led piece of media becomes popular.

>Among the characters there are one or two White characters with minor and/or distinctly antagonistic roles.

>White tumblr users focus entirely on said White characters.

>Tag of Black led piece of media is filled with posts about White character(s)

>Rinse. Repeat.

the-stormwagon

I think the most charitable interpretation of this is that people connect to characters that are like them, and that the experiences of Blackness is so alien to them that the White characters are the only ones that White people connect with. Combine that with the fact that Tumblr is so White as a platform, and you get this issue.

It’s still bad and racist, but it is understandable. People should still do better though. (I’m not trying to justify, I’m trying to come up with an explanation)

Please don’t make me say it.
