Here's looking at you, kid. @dennisw-ilson - Tumblr Blog

alcoholism is a problem in the lgbt community yes but there's something weird and mentally disconnecting about trying to say that's because there's too many gay nightclubs or whatever instead of the reality that being lgbt is just genuinely oppressive and will push people to maladaptive coping mechanisms. like did we forget that people become alcoholics for a multitude of more reasons than because they went to a club once

on the eve of new mitski music, where is that quote by her about “sad girl music”

“The sad girl thing was reductive and tired like 5, 10 years ago and it still is today.... Let’s retire the sad girl shtick... Sad girl is over.”

It’s so fucked up how tiktok culture has made clout-poisoned people turn the public into content, every day I see people minding their business have their entire faces put online for thousands of likes, a couple kissing on the train, a lady dancing across a cross walk, a guy nodding his head to the music at a club, a lady buying a banana at the store, ring camera footage of the neighbors kids being stupid. Just let people live jfc

I think I may have made it seem like this is about wholesome content (which my sentiment towards that is the same) but most of the time when I see this stuff people are being ridiculed for being completely normal. And I didn’t make up any of these examples btw, I couldn’t find the dance one but only because there are too many videos of people being recorded at cross walks

Im gonna add this to every post about this i see im never gonna shut up about it. This will get people killed. This will ruin lives. More people live in hiding than you think. So many people are one post away from having to abandon their whole lives. Dont ever post anything of anyone without their consent, stranger or not.

I am a photographer. It is my job to go into schools and take candid photos for the yearbook.

The number of kids that are on a 'do not photograph' list isn't large, but it is a non-zero number. If that kid is even out of focus in the background, we do not use that photo.

If a child shows even the tiniest bit upset that there's a person in the room with a camera, I do not take their photo.

At pop culture conventions, I ask people if I can take their photo. Or if I take a candid of them, I track them down and give them my info and get th3ir consent before posting.

At events like parties, concerts, performances, consent is generally implied because these are photographed events, but if an attendee approaches me and tells me to crop them out then I crop them out.

This makes street photography tedious, but I learned in my very first job as a camp counselor that people have very good reasons for not wanting their photo publicized. There are kids in the foster system with abusive parents. There are adults with stalkers. There are people who might be a witness to a crime.

Even outside of this- I've seen how private persons become memes against their will just by going out in public. Some people are super not normal about meme fame.

Leave people alone. The world is complicated. Make your own content.

The only way to make no mistakes at all is to do nothing at all. Life is filled with various opportunities, but every single one of them carries a risk of making a mistake. If you don't take the risk, you'll be stuck in the same place forever and that's not what life is for. Humans are made for progress, not for avoiding any stress and discomfort at all costs.

Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.

Did Ruth Bader Ginsburg effectively use girl power when she let a gas pipeline through the Appalachian Trail.

Okay but six other people voted for it too. And yet you’re all shitting on the least problematic of the bunch and letting the other six off the hook... for what? Cuz she’s a woman and cuz everyone wants to think she’s perfect? Being a woman truly is exhausting

scallioncreamcheesebagel

you’re an idiot. no one is “letting the other six off the hook”, the other six are mostly republicans who everyone already hates ANYWAY. the point of this post is to point out that we shouldn’t be idolizing RBG, because she is just as shitty as any other politician. no one is idolizing the other 6 judges, so the point doesn’t make sense to make for the rest.

turning “hey we shouldn’t be idolizing this centrist judge who voted for a gas pipeline to be built among MANY OTHER shitty decisions” into “guhhh you just hate her because she’s a WOMAN” is ridiculous. also note that of the 3 female supreme court judges, she was the only one to vote to approve this pipeline. why not support one of the other two instead of crying about people posting rightful criticism of RBG?

additionally, while we’re pointing out RBG’s demographics, we should note she’s not just a woman: she’s also white! this pipeline crosses through majority black, latine, and native communities. check out this article:

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline Battle Is About People, Not Precedent: The rural, Native, Black, and Latinx communities protesting the controversial pipeline deserve clean, safe places to call home.

ignoring the fact that she’s a white person approving pipelines through communities of color just because she’s a woman is so incredibly disingenuous

reblog if you remember when RBG said kaepernick taking a knee to protest police violence was “dumb and disrespectful”

Remember when she refused to accept Oneida sovereignty over their lands because it would be unfair to whites and that the character of the populace was "non-Indian"?

you ever just suddenly remember that linguini and remy can’t communicate. linguini does not have some special ability to understand rats. he just fuckin. accepts that this weird rat wants to cook and can control him with his hair. he’s just okay with that
