i really need people to be so fucking careful in and around discussions of literacy because stuff like "this culture didn't develop a written language ergo they are mentally inferior to us" and "people with this disability are unable to read ergo they are mentally inferior to us" have been eugenicist talking points for a very long time

this website is so funny because every couple years we repeat the discourse of "which marginalised group is it morally okay for us to shit on?" and somehow nobody ever learns from it. we just look back and go, "hey, remember that time when everyone was joking about how ace people should all be put in meat grinders? that was so messed up. we should not have done that. anyway, here's my topical joke about how polyamorous people should all be put in meat grinders."

this post is still getting me anon hate pretty much on the daily btw. in case you were curious about the state of things

#I got to see sooooo much of it last year because of ‘in your orbit’#like oh yay! we have a friend in common and you want me dead

i’m trying to say this thought in a nice and genuine way because i do mean it in a nice and genuine way and i worry it will just come across as “your faves are not as hot as you think they are lol” but i think fandom, being a setting where it’s normal to publicly wax lyrical about how beautiful you find someone, is somewhere you can really see the truth of the statement that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. as an outsider looking in, you can tell how when people start loving a character or personality, a lot of the time something just switches, and they suddenly perceive like unfathomable lifechanging beauty in this person that i think they could probably see in anyone if they looked with that much love. i’m very charmed by it and what it says about how a lot of people look at who they love in the rest of their life

#heartbreaking: I can tell those brunette men apart and I have rated them on a scale of hotness #the first time I watched Bastogne I said ‘I really like that they cast a woman who’s not Hollywood Beautiful to play her’#I SAID THAT OUT LOUD.#y’all know where I stand on lucie Jeanne’s beauty these days. I am torn asunder by it

Sir Terry Pratchett on Libraries (ook!)

"I was reading every damn thing in the library that there was, eclectically, I was... You know, that was it. But I was only doing it because I just wanted to read everything, I wanted to know everything... I taught myself more in the library than school taught me."

Lol sure!!

For movies, here is the beginner's list:

Beginner's guide for getting in the loop.

And the more advanced list:

Advanced guide to getting in the loop. Supplementary to "Civilization Essentials." If a movie is on this list, then it has one of these: -Po

Not all these movies are necessarily good, but the ones that gave me small pop culture epiphanies. It made me realize that 30%-40% of the jokes from modern sitcoms are references/parodies- and these movies are their source material.

^^ This is also true for socializing. So many people I thought were naturally funny were just doing movie bits.

[I actually do have a job, I am just a big fan of lists and graphs and flow charts etc.]

Oh I adore this. As someone who missed a bunch of stuff by way of chaos and poverty. This is a nice tool.

I subscribed to UNNAMED STREAMING SERVICE a few days ago and gave the login info to all my friends, as one does, but one of them went in and turned on 2-factor authentication and set the phone number to her own cell phone, locking me out of the account

It was an accident and we got it fixed but for a brief moment the betrayal and fury was so great I blacked out and was possessed by the spirit of like a 19th century naval officer, I was pacing around my room like "TO THINK THAT JUDAS HIMSELF NUMBERS HIMSELF AMONG MY COMPATRIOTS"

I am running a marathon with a twisted ankle and it hurts but some pain is normal, right? Everyone says it's supposed to be hard. It is a marathon after all. I am running a marathon with a twisted ankle but honestly it could be worse, right? I heard someone once finished with a broken leg. The ankle is nothing compared to that. I am running a marathon with a twisted ankle but you can get used to pain, right? The body can endure almost anything. The problem is always the mind. I am running a marathon with a twisted ankle but I made it this far, that means I can keep going, right? Everyone says it's supposed to be hard. It is a marathon after all.

forget everything anyone has ever told you on the matter the truest marker of adulthood is starting to hear the siren call of high quality kitchenware

tainbocuailnge

to be clear you SHOULD buy that cast iron pan and you SHOULD buy that knife set and you SHOULD buy that fancy rice cooker and you SHOULD buy that novelty mug. high quality kitchenware is always worth it you’re literally gonna be using that almost every day

This seems like a good post to include this link on:

One buyout firm quietly collected Pyrex, Corelle, Instant Pot, and Oneida. Farberware is a name on a 200-year lease. And the pans still wort

Talking about popular kitchenware companies undergoing enshittification, and gives you a list of brands towards the end that are more reliable.

My new pet peeve is people completely misunderstanding the term Male Gaze and making the term female gaze based entirely on that misunderstanding

the white boy of the month pushing his hair back and reading poetry for the camera is not the equivalent of the dehumanization of women in visual media by way of presenting them primarily as vessels for sexual gratification

i do think it's important to realise even if you like the books that when white supremacists really like LOTR they aren't mistaken about the work or misguided or foolishly failing to comprehend the text. they are identifying something very much present in the work that aligns with and expresses their beliefs about the world and connecting with it

Having "a lot" of followers on tumblr is funny because probably 80% of them are ghost blogs who haven't been on here in like a decade.

It's like, no no, those aren't my followers, that's a graveyard! I'm the caretaker of a thousands of tombs. I love them, but they've been dead for seven years.

#and also it’s so difficult to know what ‘a lot’ is #I don’t have a lot of followers (I don’t think?) but I saw a poll going around that said the average count is like #less than a quarter of what I got going on #and I’m averaging four likes per post. TUMBLR BABES STAY WINNING

when i say “girl” randomly as an interjection i’m speaking to the omnipresent all knowing being of Girl. asking her for mercy. taking girl’s name in vain
