El-posting at its finest @elikoiswatchingyou - Tumblr Blog

probably the worst attitude tumblr unintentionally cultivates is "the world out there is completely dangerous for you and no one can possibly understand you, so you should isolate yourself from it and avoid interacting with it as much as possible"

Time to roll out the Andrew Marr quote again...

"If you put away social media and you walk out into the streets and you look at real people, three-dimensional people, they mostly smile back at you. If you look around you- you see perfectly decent, ordinary people getting on with their lives and inclined, by and large, to rather like each other, that is the real us. Let us not be fooled."

Alright kids say it with me

My thoughts don’t make me a bad person

My feelings don’t make me a bad person

My thoughts, feelings, and impulses only exist inside my head, and none of it matters unless I act on it

Nobody can see my thoughts or emotions

The only things anyone can see and judge me on are my actions

There’s no such thing as a thought crime

thank u

You can have harmful beliefs and harmful impulses and harmful urges and not be evil. You can make yourself aware that these things are harmful and take steps to correct yourself and not be evil. You can walk around with the urge to kick puppies all goddamn day and as long as you are capable of redirecting that impulse to something benign then it doesn’t matter. I don’t know how else to say this

sillyness-incarnate

Yes, but you are missing the part, where this is okay for everybody, except for me.

As someone who has struggled with that exact thought, I personally try to kick it back with “if it’s weird to think I’m specially and uniquely better than everyone else, it’s equally weird to think I’m specially and uniquely worse”

i think weight loss ads should be illegal and im not kidding

teaboot

^^^^Weight loss ads should be illegal/strictly regulated/prohibited like tobacco ads and prescription medications imo, and "weight loss" product packaging should be plastered in disclaimers and health warnings like Canadian cigarette boxes

Advising people to make dramatic changes to their physiology and body chemistry is an insanely dangerous and risky move and it's fucking wild that products that can cause/contribute to heart disease, addictive behaviors, and organ failure are STILL just. Visible on TV and on YouTube and tiktok and tumblr, on magazines and bus stops and pop-ups where any random ass kid walking by can absorb the idea that it's desirable and normal

We can't advertise beer and drugs and smokes to minors, and in Canada at least the way these things are marketed is on a short fucking leash.

Why is "fuck yourself up to solve all your problems" fine with one dangerous product, but not the other?

Edit: Also you know what? Tanning beds, vape pens, plastic surgery, and botox too. Why are these everywhere

doES ANYONE ELSE REALIZE THAT WE’RE LIKE, THE FIRST GENERATION ON TUMBLR

GIVE IT 10-15 YEARS AND WE’LL ALL BE GROWN UP AND AN ENTIRE NEW SET OF KIDS WILL BE ON HERE BLOGGING ABOUT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHOWS AND BANDS AND MOVIES AND BOOKS

THE ONLY THING THEY’LL STILL BE BLOGGING ABOUT THE SAME AS WE WERE IS DOCTOR WHO

Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do

there are more tweets in this thread

fucking SLAY

darlington-v

this isnt even the full thread, there are even MORE tweets to this thread that i think are really necessary to read if you do what op is talking about! it is not enough to know that feeling this way hurts the people you love, we already know that.

this rest of the thread continues after the third tweet from the reblog.

like THE FULL THREAD is genuinely so reassuring.

sometimes, it is not enough to just know, sometimes you might need that reassurance of "do you really think of me when i'm away?" and someone reassuring you that yeah, they do. and evaluate that! trust that! just like op did.

and then learning that ykw, it's NOT any of my business really. and finding comfort in that trust that like. whether they are or aren't thinking of me, they really do love me.

this full thread changed my life and i am ALWAYS going to give the full thread because the parts people cut out aren't enough for the people experiencing these things, speaking as someone who does. it, really it just makes us, made me, feel bad about my own capabilities when i saw the unfinished thread.

oh to one day live in a world that doesn't hinge on the whims of the united states of fucking america.

I think the internet as a whole needs to ask themselves one simple question when they see a video.

Why was the camera filming.

There are so many videos that seem real, but when you realize the camera was already filming with a great angle, you can see that it's all staged.

Yes, there are dash cams, security footage, people accidentally filming real things happening. But so many are just staged!! And no one in the notes takes the camera preparation into consideration!

This is 2024, you need to know how to spot bots lying to you, but also humans lying to you.
