this picks up in notes every so often so a summary of my answers to those things:

Q: I love how the quality degrades with each reply!

A: yeah my body was going into organ failure I didn't have much in me for art. which is why I made the post lol

Q: I can't rest / take care of myself I have something I HAVE to do first

A: you will get there faster and less destructively if you are taking care of yourself. rest doesn't mean "I need a full week of doing absolutely nothing" by default. give yourself a half hour to actually relax. even ten minutes. there are inevitably windows of time in your life that you are dedicating to stressing out about what you're not doing. use that time to do what you can to be gentle with yourself. and when you have the option to treat yourself, do so.

Q: I don't know what my problem is but I'm sure there is one because what the fuck else could it be I feel like shit all of the time

A: get your iron and vitamin levels checked. start taking a multivitamin. try removing gluten or dairy from your diet (replace them with other things!! this is not weight loss!!) and see if anything improves because secret intolerances can develop and make you feel like garbage. if you notice it worse with specific foods, try leaving those out as well and cross reference ingredients. get one physical hobby even if it's something simple like making paper airplanes sometimes. ask for help when needed. seek help when needed. clean your water bottle (all of it, really) and replace your toothbrush. push to get the treatment you need I know that it sucks and I know that doctors will be jerks about it but figuring out what's wrong has to matter more and I'm sorry I don't have any tips for making that easier. try compression socks and a shower chair. keep wearing a mask. I love you and you'll figure this out. I'm serious about the dietary change checks though celiac is a bastard and gluten is in fucking everything. get used to googling ingredients. itll work out.

"i hate women" -> crowd boos and jeers

"i hate women... including trans women!" -> crowd laughs and claps and giggles, the speaker receives an ally of the year award

winged-void

"I hate men" -> apprehensive silence, isolated claps and maybe one or two cheers

"I hate men... including trans men!" -> okay listen here buddy pal dude guy man male xy chromosome brother in christ

legorockraiders

"I hate men" ah well that's probably a sitcom-style joke, with eyes rolled, men am I right ladies. Harmless, sarcastic, they're just being ironic. In fact, this is really just infantilization of a female audience. No threat.

"I hate men... including trans men!" oh you ACTUALLY mean it ok well that cannot stand

Fun how the bystander effect was coined to cover up how cops are bigoted cowards who let a queer person die and stockholm syndrome was coined to cover that the cops handled a hostage situation so badly the hostages trusted their captors more than the cops.

I feel like contouring is lowkey racist

heartof-au79-deactivated2024090

Is this a joke?

chambaeli

Noo lol I knew I’d regret phrasing it that way. This is tumblr, after all…

It’s not “people who contour are themselves automatically racist” but that the desired face shape created by contouring is one that, at the end of the day, pretty much reflects existing white standards of beauty. A thinner, pointier nose, smaller chin, high angled cheekbones and (on occasion) smaller lips. Also if you’re darker skinned you have to use a much lighter shade of foundation thus ending up with an overall lighter face.

I probably could have phrased that better.

No, you are absolutely correct. In fact it is not even lowkey in the performance arts/entertainment world. I’ve known how to contour since I was 9, because I was in ballet. I was taught by an older Asian dancer who told me that I was already darker than everyone else, my face couldn’t look different too. So she showed me the basics, then left me with a picture of a white person as the goal to emulate.

It’s always been explicit and intentionally racist in terms of what is considered correct contouring technique is to emulate white associated features. Which is not to say that contouring is bad, but it is good to ask ourselves why we do not contour to make our noses look wider and more distinguished. Or why we don’t shadow and highlight to make the face look perfectly round? While contouring is not bad ( and is actually very cool to literally be able to control the way people perceive your face, it’s like magic) it’s good to ask ourselves why we contour the way we do.

makeup defenders are the most fragile people on earth sometimes. like. come on.

‘girls are flat out told that they need to paint a correctly beautiful face on top of their natural incorrect face, for the rest of their adult life,’ like that’s Bad. that’s bad. that’s not a neutral could-be-cool situation. It’s Bad.

anyway remember when the US government commissioned a study on dangers of pornography and when the commission returned with a report saying it doesn’t pose a danger and recommending removing restrictions the US government denounced its own study

closet-keys

it's only recently I learned that the 'mog' part of 'mogging' stands for 'male of group' (shortened from 'alpha male of group'). so the definition of 'mogging' as like, being deemed superior to someone else in some way or another is using manhood as synonymous with relational superiority.

this was obvious subtext anyway (the whole ideology in which the term emerges is a male supremacist one) but learning it's so explicit and unambiguous was kind of surprising. doubly so since this term is already starting the process of integrating into general usage outside this subculture, first as "ironic," then as decontextualized ("it's just outshining someone!"), and eventually probably as sincere.

casual reminder that it is probably best to not adopt the misogynistic concept of conveying hierarchical superiority in interpersonal contexts as "funny internet slang."

This has been your non-casual reminder that memetic warfare is a real thing.

May we all know decadence such as this

11/2 Today Goofus the Peacock killed a mouse and instead of eating it right away, decided to wander around the pasture carrying it in his beak. The feral cats always appreciate dead-rodent-based performance art, so they followed behind Goofus single file to make a Very Exciting Dead Rodent Parade.

At one point Goofus stopped and put down his rodent and one of the feral cats dared to sniff at it, and Goofus unleashed The Most Terrifying Honk, something along the lines of I WILL END YOU AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE AND YOUR BONES WILL BE FORGOTTEN ON THE FROZEN EARTH WHEN I SNUFF OUT THE SUN AND SING THE STARS TO DARKNESS I AM THE DEVOURER AND DESTROYER OF ALL THINGS

The feral cats, previously unaware that the Death Of The Universe And End Of All Things is currently living as a peacock, ran off at about fifty miles an hour and hid under the barn for the rest of the day. They didn’t even come out at milking time to beg for goat milk, which is a first.

We probably should not have named the Death Of The Universe And The End Of All Things “Goofus,” actually.
