Ok this blog is big enough now that I probably should've already had an intro post:

Why do you write like that?

Undifferentiated text is hard for me to read and it makes it harder for me to organize my thoughts when I don't. The fact that Tumblr let's me stylize my text like this is a big reason why I started one at all. If it bothers you, please block me instead of complaining that I should accommodate your reading style instead of my own, on my own blog.

Various important beliefs:

Jewish, Witch, Anti-zionist, Ancom

Things I will block you for:

Antisemitism, "all religion is a cancer", zionism, racism, ableism, fatphobia, ecofascism, queerphobia of any flavor, any bigotries I failed to think of off the top of my head, and also sometimes just because I didn't dig your whole general vibe and decided I don't ever want to interact with you again

Additional facts about me:

My name is Plum, I'm non binary, 30+, Audhd, chronically ill, and definitely a human creature

[scrolling social media] Who the fuck is Jimothy?

[a brief internet search later] Ahh yes, ok I understand. Jimothy is my religion now.

Me: And so a lot of your time is spent blocking robots who are programmed to start arguments

Me, from 2007 whom I've time traveled to see: You're here to warn me about a robot uprising??

Me: No, I'm just venting about that. I'm here to warn you not to go to college. Student loans are a scam. Let's talk about capitalized interest.

I love baking! I find it very calming. Except when I'm trying a new recipe, in which case my nervous system responds as if I'm under attack.

It's a very soothing hobby! Except when it feels like I'll be torn into one thousand pieces if I were to make even a single mistake. I'm having fun!

But also I am so stressed out if you even look at me too loudly I might burst into tears. So fun!

We deserve food that's safe to eat. Just fyi. That's like a basic function that our government should be performing. You know, instead of slashing regulations so corporations can cut corners at the expense of everyone else's health.

i would never wish celiac on anyone but sometimes i wish i could give people the experience temporarily so they stop judging me for being so cautious around food. someone once gave me a hard time for only ever ordering the same thing at one of the few local restaurants i can eat at, and it's like.... well, i have confirmed that this one thing will not poison me. i have not yet confirmed that anything else on the menu will not poison me. i don't feel like violently throwing up today if i take a risk that pans out badly.

[existennialmemes]

I have Crohn's not celiac, but the vibe is honestly exactly the same. I think people who do not experience chronic GI disorders truly do not understand the unmitigated horror that is unleashed by eating the Wrong™ food. Like.

I do not want to spend the next several days or weeks bent over in agony as my intestines try to physically yeet themselves out of my body.

So no. I'm not going to risk eating something that may contain a trigger food. Yes, it is that serious. And no, I'm not being "difficult" about it.

You are for insisting that your food preferences outweigh my desire to not get fucking poisoned.

Thank you for voting in my poll! Orb won and I decided to go for an eyeball situation. What I learned is, drawing circles is hard 😅😂

Hello, I'm A Stranger on The Internet. And I noticed that the conversation you're having is not about me. I hope you can understand the grievous damage this has caused me and are prepared to apologize to me immediately.

I say "make bad art" a lot, but the truth is, no matter its technical quality, all art is good art.

The act of physically making art is not only good for your nervous system, but it's also like giving the entire zeitgeist a reassuring forehead kiss.

Make art. Good and bad are subjective. Don't worry about that. Just make it, I'm begging you.

These preliminary findings are intriguing, but more research must be conducted. Now just hold still, we're gonna find out if you're cake.

They should invent a kind of burnout, where after you reach your limit of existential exhaustion for the third time, your health bar doubles and you transform into a bigger, stronger iteration of yourself. Like you're a nintendo boss in the final boss battle.

Lindsey Graham: Where am I?

The Caretaker: You have passed on. Your soul has reached the afterlife.

Lindsey Graham: I've made it to heaven!

The Caretaker: No. Heaven and Hell as you understand them do not exist. Normally souls are debriefed about their time on earth and permitted to reincarnate to experience the multiverse through a new perspective. But, in cases like yours, we make an exception.

Lindsey Graham: So I am going to heaven?

The Caretaker: No that's still not real. But are you familiar with The Torment Nexus?

You know technology literacy is dying because I saw this meme with 76k likes

F11 the full screen button? You’re scared of the full screen button? F10?? It opens the menu bar???

[boybeetles]

Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖

If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you

[headspace-hotel]

Never stop learning+ Never stop sharing what you learned

We really have to stop romanticizing parenthood. Parenthood is emotionally, physically, and financially burdensome

Society should be providing parents resources to lessen those burdens, but I digress. The reality is, it is hard. It is taxing in every possible way.

Absolutely no one should be having kids unless they're completely sure that they both want to and feel capable of accepting those burdens, and carry them in such a way that their children are not aware that there are any burdens at all.

No one should be coerced into parenthood. And no one should be conditioned to see parenthood as an inevitability. No one should be taught that parenthood is the key to happiness and that becoming a parent is what everyone is supposed to eventually do if they want a fulfilling life.

Parenthood should be presented like a career path. Something that's noble to pursue, but also difficult and not everyone is suited for it.

Which is not to say that anybody should be prevented from becoming a parent, but to emphasize that we shouldn't be treating parenthood like something everyone pursues.

Mitch McConnell (allegedly): I'm totally fine. I just fell down for reasons unknown and then had an unrelated case of pneumonia. But I'm perfectly capable of doing my job, which I will still not be doing for the foreseeable future.

Don't replace me though, I'm technically alive. Even though I am also admitting to having abandoned my post & have no plans to resume it. [AI-generated smiling hospital pic that clearly used extremely old pictures as source material]
