girl help i’m having creation ideas above my skill level

[yelenabelovas]

must you finish a thought? is it not enough to

[vicholas]

There’s a popular post going around that’s like “well tone indicators are helpful for people for anxiety because some people need stuff like “ /nm (not mad)” or “ /nbh (nobody here)” and I absolutely get it because I have an anxiety disorder but like. You can very much add that on the text of a message itself and it will be way more clear and accessible than expecting them to memorize this whole new fabricated code. 

Which one do you think will be clearer, faster to understand, and more direct to the point:

“oh my god someone is pissing me off /nbh”

“oh my god someone (not from this server, don’t worry) is pissing me off”

or

“have you done the dishes? /nm

“have you done the dishes? don’t worry, im not mad, just wondering”

You can be mindful of someone else’s needs and talk to them in a way that is respectful and understanding of those needs. The key is communication. Expecting people to memorize a lot of abbreviations is like the contrary of accessible.

what's a polite way of asking lifestyle influencers if it gets tiring constantly aestheticising their own life, living and making decisions based on that next sweet hit of validation. do they feel like they even have opinions and tastes anymore or is every decision intrinsically linked to how popular it will be or how it looks? do they ever want to just take a badly angled photo, wear an ill fitting outfit, exist outside of the picture perfect world they've created for themselves or do they no longer know how to feel genuine? did they really enjoy that hand crafted cup of tea as they cradled it's quickly cooling liquid between their beautifully manicured hands or were they more concerned with the optics of the action, would it have been comfier sat on the floor with that chipped mug from the back of the cupboard. aren't you tired of being curated don't you just wanna go apeshit? like how do you ask all that... but politely

Listen. Do it for the aesthetic. If you want to fill an entire 20 dollar sketchbook with anatomy drawings fucling do it. If you wanna get lost in the woods and come stumbling home with a bag of dried mushrooms and bones you go goblin dude. You aren't alive to go to work and hurt!! You're alive because bumblebees bump into little flowers and dandelions only open up in the sun! You're alive because cats purr when you pet them and coffee keeps you up all night!! Do everything for the aesthetic!!

“traditional values” should mean like…teaching kids which local forest mushrooms are edible, not that the lady next door is going to hell for having a cool girlfriend

Not like this hasn’t been happening in the military for years.

Yep! My dad was in the Coast Guard during the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell era and one thing he mentioned was gay and lesbian service members marrying each other both for mutual bearding, and because married people got better housing.

Additionally my grandmother married one of her guy friends because her job offered dental insurance to employees and spouses and he needed some dental work done. They got married, processed the paperwork, got his dental problems fixed, made sure all the insurance payments went through, and divorced.

Two people getting married for the benefits has been going on as long as we’ve had benefits to marriage, and if two women doing it is homophobic then I guess someone’s going to have to tell my grandmother she was heterophobic.

worst type of post is when people post something vaguely deep-sounding their kid said and immediately 82 people start simultaneously yelling in the comments THAT CHILD DIDNT SAY THAT ALL KIDS DO IS MAKE FART SOUNDS AND PICK THEIR NOSES

[shoefaced-deactivated20210321]

I’m always really skeptical of people who immediately jump on posts saying “AND THEN EVERYONE CLAPPED” or some variant. Yeah, people lie on the internet sometimes. But also, real life is weird and kids are often smarter than people assume.

It always makes me think Really? You’re posting about how the government fills vaccines with microscopic bears that directly eat your immune system, but a kid said something mildly interesting and THAT’S what you consider too weird to be believable?

[headspace-hotel]

I think we would have just a much better time of it if we collectively acknowledged that most anecdotal type stories online are unverifiable. Like, there’s no use in arguing whether it “happened” or “didn’t happen” because unless the basic facts are off somehow, it’s impossible to know. Period.

Life is weird, the world is weird, and people are weird, and I guarantee you at least one of tumblr’s infamous made up stories actually happened because life is just that weird.

(Likewise, there are probably plenty of believable stories circulating about that are completely made up…)

[tlirsgender]

People wanna think that because the us was bad and feeding its people propaganda about how Communism Bad that therefore the ussr must have been Good, Actually like No You Fucking Idiot. More than one country can commit war crimes at once

[tlirsgender]

Capitalism is bad I'm not even disagreeing with that Marx Was Right but you know what else is bad? Authoritarianism. If you give a select handful of people, or even worse One Single Person too much power they WILL abuse it. Having a Woke Dictator isn't the answer here you guys just can't imagine actually changing our societal structure from one based on dominance

[extasiswings]

Lmao imagine yelling at fans of color who are discussing fandom racism and how it dimishes their fandom experience that “fandom is supposed to be fun and you’re ruining it for the rest of us” the absolute Caucasity. Newsflash: fandom IS supposed to be fun and when y’all are racist and micro-or-macro-aggressing us, WE CAN’T ENJOY IT. Also imagine admitting that you can’t enjoy fandom if you can’t be racist asdfghjkl can’t relate.

[lkeke35]

Yeah, ive been saying thst a lot of white supremacist thinking, largely involves white peoples fun and comfort taking priority over, or even at the expense of, the comfort and happiness of PoC. They get to be safe, happy, and comfortable in online spaces but many don’t often care about making those spaces safe, comfortable, or even welcoming to others, because they come first.

This also plays out on the real world with white people declaring spaces to be theirs and thst we shouldn’t be in the space because it makes them feel uncomfortable. The motivation is pretty much the same.

[nerdlingwrites]

I've seen this so many times from "progressive" fans who profess to care about inclusivity. They eventually disengage from the subject of racism because it becomes uncomfortable for them. Suddenly PoC are at fault for being too negative. Alternately people say they can't have the games and characters criticized because it's their comfort game and they can't lose it, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.

The greatest gift privilege gives is the ability ignore a crucial subject because it doesn't affect you. White fans attack anyone who tries to bring equity to the table.

Reblogging this for a lot of reasons but largely because this is absolutely rampant in the stucky fandom

[fishyandclintbarton]

If it makes you uncomfortable then it’s because you know you have in some way been part of the problem. Take that feeling and educate yourself about the reason why you feel uncomfortable with whats being discussed and what you’re being confronted with. You can’t just chose to disengage because “it doesn’t affect you.”

does anyone have that gif of a penis growth ad thats a guinea pig that stretches out rly long and a girl says “hot!” and the guinea pig spins around pls i need it

[raeuberkotzenrotz]

I gotchu

[death-420]

YES!!! YES!! YES!!!!!

[doomstar]

You literally cannot find this type of community interaction on twitter or instagram or any other app. Look at the support, the gratitude, the absolutely incomprehensible shared knowledge of this most cursed, most rare gif. 

Truly this is beauty.

the only way to make living bearable is to romanticize it I guess

you ever just hand things to ur pet to sniff so they can feel included
