Amazing things happening on Instagram today

the tragedy of tumblr is you will inevitably meet people who you should be having a sleepover with. you should be rolling around on their floor and rummaging through their fridge and watching shitty movies with. you should be shopping with should be going out to a cafe with should be wandering through the aquarium with. people who you should be experiencing quotidian joys with... and you cannot! because they live one million miles away

Oh you’re crushing on your exy teammate and you’re both boys. Should we throw a party? Should we invite Kevin Day?

also while i’m on my complaining train. i find it soooo irritating how the marketing du jour is all “[book 1] meets [book 2] in this [buzzword] story perfect for fans of [author 1], [author 2], and [author 3].” like oh my goddddd just tell me what the story is about PLEASE half the time i haven’t read any of the other books or authors listed so it genuinely tells me nothing. like can you tell me what the book is actually about.

"There's millions of Tumblr users" to you. To me There's only about 12 and we all reblog the same five posts from each other

[grndgame]

everyone is a bumbling reactionary idiot except me. and my mutuals. and presumably my followers because they follow me and adhere to my strictures.

And they're absolutely specifically pushing it, make no mistake. It's not just a matter of "it's there, it's convenient, so people are going to take the path of the least resistance", but it is a legitimate and concerted effort on the part of these companies to get people to outsource all these things to their models.

They're preying on insecurities to do it. Yes, you can write an essay - but can you write a good essay, they ask you. Do you not want to improve your output? Do you not want people to think of you as competent and very clever? Why go through the mortifying process of failing and failing and failing until you succeed if you can just skip the "learning" part of doing, and simply generate a ready-made product?

I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.
