Yes yes I know this too shall pass but christ alive man it's passing like a gotdamn kidney stone

You've had disappointments because you've been brave enough to have hopes. You've got scars because you're a foundational part of a big, wild world that leaves nothing unchanged. Keep going.

[calellon]

unfortunately i could never be nonchalant because i am not well in the head and also my soul is on fire

[clytemnestraaa]

why have we not yet decided to refer to the self-scrutinizing witch-hunt nature of current fandom culture as fanopticon

[blackleatherjesster]

I get no notes because as soon as someone finishes reading my post they are compelled to put down their phone and experience the wonders of the world around them with fresh eyes

[blackleatherjesster]

Because of how bad the post is

[fairycosmos]

there's just nothing that beats being at home. the world will try to convince me i should be doing more and it's like yeah but im at home

[fairycosmos]

like if youre at home right now just take a minute to be like UGH yes im at home

throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!

WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's

and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.

we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.

all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?

it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!

[blackfemmecharacterdependency]

Black people will never stop talking about this, but when we are on sites such as Tumblr, where so many of the white people feel that not only are they not racist, but that calling their racist behavior racist is emotional warfare on them, they will make sure to keep Black voices as silenced as possible.

Also, a lot of the Black people who got deleted or run off of the site weren't even accused of any type of Russian anything. A lot of them were just run the fuck off by the white Tumblr base on harassment shit.

#how long have we been holding on to this one?

[mishalak-deactivated20200713]

I held onto this for six whole months. It was soooo hard waiting.

[angelsaxis]

the thing about evangelizers is that it is fundamentally rude to walk up to strangers and try to convince them to change religions, but even non/loose christians who don't evangelize don't understand this

[angelsaxis]

you are minding your business and a stranger approaches you with a spiel dressed up to look like love, but their main points are:

whatever your life is now, its not actually good. i am not relying on any facts about your life in the slightest to make this conclusion

because of that, you're not actually happy at all -- again, with zero evidence

the only pathway to true happiness is MY religion. your life experiences up to this point are irrelevant.

there is zero likelihood that you left christianity because of trauma

your lifestyle, whatever it is, is fundamentally wrong

your religion or theology, whatever it is, is fundamentally wrong

your belief system, whatever it is, is fundamentally wrong

your culture, cultural ties and expressions, and deeply-held cultural beliefs, are all fundamentally wrong to the point that, if you do not change, you will suffer possibly in this lifetime AND the next and deserve every ounce of pain if you don't change to my religion

again I cannot stress enough that there are two reasons why people suffer: they're either being Prepared for Greatness (that we'll never know about and that, because we'll never know, can get our hopes up but also can't rely on or expect because thats wrong) or You Fully Deserve It, regardless of what the suffering is.

my religion and my god "save" people but also does not even guarantee basic safety to people who need it and you're ludicrous for expecting that

you're also missing the point and explicitly in the wrong if you expect material help of any kind at all for either yourself or others who are suffering

[agnesmontague]

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

[stellarskyes]

after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?

[agnesmontague]

i would settle for melatonin gummies but well. knock yourself out

[witheringghost]

do you ever just kinda wonder what your selling point as a human being or friend is? like, what was the point at which people were like: hey, I’ll keep this human

[labcorp]

IS 28 CONSIDERED GEN Z OR MILLENNIAL????????????

[probuccalfat]

it’s considered sexy as fuck that’s what i gotta say about it

[an-ruraiocht]

like did you know that trees lower the surface temperature by up to 19° and grass by up to 24°... access to green space is access to safety in a climate crisis and it is a massive site of inequality because poorer areas tend to have less green space and thus get hotter. urban trees are an equality issue as well as a climate issue. sorry it's not a magic bullet that solves everything but sometimes you need to pick an issue that helps a bit and focus on that. this might not be yours. it's likely going to be mine in the future when my health issues allow me to take it on. if we each pick a thing we can make a difference

[catnippackets]

every so often I think about how important it is to recognize that some stories work the best in certain mediums and that movies are not the end all be all ideal form of media that we should all hope to be elevated to. sometimes movie adaptations are good but sometimes they’re a disservice to the story. some stories are made to be experienced in the form of a video game and the same effect would not be had if the same story were to be adapted into a movie. sometimes an analog horror series is the perfect way of telling your story and it would lose what made it special if it were made into a movie. sometimes a story is meant to be a comic book and it wouldn’t be as fun if it was a movie instead of something you could read. please please please please please recognize that comics and youtube series and video games are just as good as movies and turning them into movies has the potential of ruining the impact of the story that’s trying to be told.
