I love tea, The Terror (season 1), tiki bars, true crime, Turner Classic Movies, and alliteration. A bit Heated Rivalry-mad at the moment (like the rest of the world).

This is just my two cents on what is ultimately a very complicated issue, but I feel like too often we treat representation like it's a quality problem when it would be better approached as a quantity problem. For as many people want to see a serious grounded portrayal of their experiences, there are also those who just want to relax and have a good time. So for instance, if you're writing a trans woman for your story, instead of pouring all of your effort into research - trying to avoid every stereotype while simultaneously making her all things to all trans women - you could instead just add a second trans woman

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

One little trick that will save you a lot of grief online is to pause whenever a post starts talking about attitudes “we” need to have, and ask yourself, who is “we?” Who is this post addressing, and is it a coherent group of people? Because almost every time, it will turn out that the person is either addressing their social circle (which you are not a member of) or a vague and numinous group somewhere between everyone on tumblr and all of society (not a real group of people.) Then you can ignore the post and move on with your day.
