I Live on Writer's Block @emwhyarentyouwriting - Tumblr Blog

LETS GO FRANKKK!!! So happy for you man :D

If you called me "man" or "bro" or "my guy" I would leave the conversation then and there. Quit trying to find loopholes to the male default just because you're too lazy to interrogate your complicity in it

Enlighten me on your point in more detail. If you want, of course.

You are also welcome to leave the conversation as am I. Nothing is keeping you.

Think I just found a tumblr scam blog pretending to be a staff blog

For a general summary of what this is about, this blog made a singular post and then @‘s users in the comments, claiming that due to reports by other users they’ve been put into “lurker mode” where no one else can see or interact with their posts but them, and that you need to verify your account to remove “lurker mode”

This DEFINITELY looks like a scam imo… especially since I immediately received a like on one of my drawings on my Art blog immediately after being @‘d by this blog, disproving the “lurker mode” thing.

are you kentuckian? Me too! I saw you reblogged a meme from near where I live lol 😁

Yes. I've lived in the state of historical indecision and a comically non-problematic governor almost my whole life. Specifically, the ignored far Eastern Appalachian region. It's a less intense version of West Virginian terrain, essentially.

#kentucky #sigh #i need a j*b #everyone is poor here #unless you work in funerary services #or you're a politician #or have generational wealth and you're that handful of families with money #but at least the woods is incredibly interesting #but it's terrifying at night like these woods out here built DIFFERENT

person who assumes maleness as default and refuses to interrogate this: yeah this character has no gender, they're just a little Guy

you literally could not even make it past word two before calling me a man

1. this is not true

2. ‘i’m not misogynist i’m just a fan of the mcelroy brothers’ ?

attempting to slay the male defaultism hydra with my "its misogyny" sword but every time I cut off one excuse two more (frankly increasingly bizarre) excuses take its place

Language is dynamic. Meanings of words shift over time. "Man" was used to be the catch-all term for all humans, and many considered "Woman" to be a subservience term, rendering women inherently objectified. The suffix "Wo" is an old english re-renderance of "wifman" or "Wifmon", where "man/mon" means human, and "wif", unsurprisingly means wife. Hence, "woman" means, basically, "wife of the human". That's textbook objectification. Therefore, from your own logic, it's weirdly progressive to default to "little guy" or "idk man" because it linguistically recognizes the humanity of the poster in classical English. "But the meaning of words and our relationship to them changes over time!" I hear some cry! This is also true, which would also render this useless argument, still useless, because the male default is effectively gender neutral in the 21st century. It's the same thing as "you guys" and how it can be said to an exclusive group of women. I will concede and agree this is a side-effect of male centralization, because historically that is how language is used. But, the "centralization" has loosened to the point we say "hey gurl" to men and "hi man" to women. So, all terms are gender neutral if you think hard enough, because language is malleable, and society's decentralization of the male term is a net societal good. If you're worried there is a gender default, we've killed it Nietzsche-style like we've killed god with our own society (a little abridged but you get the point). Secretly progressive!

I don’t know how many people here live in Louisville KY, but for anyone that’s unaware, Interstate 65 is currently closed in both directions through central Louisville for a two-month summer shutdown. The five-mile closure stretches between the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and downtown Louisville (Jefferson Street) and runs until July 31, 2026, to accelerate the replacement of three aging bridges.

It’s needed, I get it. But it’s stupid and we all hate it.

It poses a massive issue for semi-trucks. There is no way for them to deliver anything and so they keep hitting the acclaimed "can opener" underpass. They're also going through residential neighborhoods to get to where they need to go.

Oversized trucks keep hitting the can opener, and it happened again Friday.

This feels familiar.

#Louisville #louisville ky #can opener #vertical suez canal #that's literally all this is #and it's definitely going to effect the economy for the months they're doing construction if they don't think of something quickly

YIPPEE!!!

"Radqueer" is toxic.

(this is opinion-based and alleges no factual basis on accusing anyone of real-life criminal behavior)

There is benefit in support groups for adults of sound mind, but they should EXCLUDE known minors, or excessively unsound people who would act on something illegal. I believe Jessicur's videos are valid forms of independent journalism, and valid criticism the community should take to heart.

I'll leave it there. Everyone is free to make their own judgements. This is the open internet.
