I don’t know which I find weirder.

Old home computers with integrated cassette players for data storage.

Or boomboxes with floppy disk drives for music play.

My favourite genre of movie is ‘vapid girly teen flicks from the 90’s and early 00’s that actually have important feminist and socially conscious messages’.

Some examples;

Don’t be afraid to break the pointless and sexist rules society has imposed upon you, especially if they stand between you and your dreams.

Learn to recognise your self worth beyond the trappings of success.

Recognising and working to correct your white privilege, is not only the right thing to do morally, but will also lead to a more diverse and exciting playing field.

You absolutely do not have to sacrifice your femininity or sense of self in order to make your way in a traditionally masculine field.

cheeseanonioncrisps

Toxic femininity is absolutely a thing, and it’s what tricks girls into oppressing themselves and each other.

unashamedly-enthusiastic

Are you actually ‘not like other girls’ or are you just playing into the patriarchy by using your prejudices as an excuse to stop you forming real and valuable attachments to everyone in your life?

love ppl online being like "ur literally 30" like do u think thats not gonna happen to you??

rainbowgazes-archive

anyone tagging this with "Yeah but i wont be on tumblr at that age" is only fooling themselves.

pyronado-moved

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

Bro (talking about a girl he’s interested in): She’s pretty cool. But kinda intimidating. She hates—well she doesn’t hate men but she hates the…man thing. Me: …penis?

Bro: No. The—the thing. The bad cultural thing. The paternal thing.

Me: Ohhh. The Patriarchy?

Bro: That’s the bitch.

Me: I feel like we should probably not call the patriarchy ‘bitch.’ All things considered.

Bro: You right. See? This is why I’m stressed! What if I say something dumb like that in front of her!? Anyway. We’re going out again on Friday, I just gotta make sure I’m not patriarch-ing. Can you help me pick out what I’m going to wear? Feminists like flannel, right?

xollii

He actually doesn’t have the spirit, tbh, it sounds like it’s all performative so he can get his dick wet. Like he couldn’t give less of a shit.

xiaq

@xollie Yikes. Obviously, I didn’t repeat the entire conversation (or subsequent conversations) we had. Obviously, you don’t know this kid’s full story. He’s young. He’s learning. The fact that he was already differentiating between hating men and hating the patriarchy was a big deal considering the background he comes from. He is genuinely interested in this girl. He does not just “want to get his dick wet” (in fact, I think he may be on the asexual spectrum–we’ve had several conversations about cultural sexual expectations as well). You’re young too, so I’m going to try and say this as kindly as possible: Please. Do not look at one anecdote (selected for entertainment value!) and decide you know the whole story. More importantly: Please do not make assumptions about people who appear to be putting in effort, even if that effort appears to be minimal (especially if you don’t know the whole story). Please do not deride people who are trying. No one is born with a full intersectional understanding of gender, sexuality, race, disability, etc. We are all works in progress. If people are trying to grow, please, give them a chance to.

He is being performative.

Instead of researching what the patriarchy means, he’s asking you to tell him how he can look like he cares about feminism.

If he truly cares about her and woman’s struggles, he would have done some actual research.

Sure, it is a start that he’s trying to impress a feminist woman. Hanging out with her will likely introduce him to new ideas; however, if he’s not willing to put in actual work to learn the vocabulary and not mix up stereotypes and ideas, he will just be exhausting a woman who does not need to put emotional labor into educating him.

No one needs to pat your brother on the back. So many people learn about these things at a much younger age. In fact, woman are oppressed by our patriarchal society as babies and young girls.

You should hold him to a higher standard. He is 20 years old.

xiaq

Me: makes a clarifying post asking that people not make snap judgments about a person based on an anecdote I chose for comedic value.

You: does…exactly that.

I literally have a Ph.D. in feminist/queer theory and gender studies. You don’t need to explain performativity or oppression to me.

This kid is not my brother. If he was, I would be holding him to a higher standard because he would have had years of education about this.

This kid did not. He spent 19 years in what I’d call a maliciously conservative Christian bubble (from his jokes and stories, an extremely racist, sexist, homophobic, and likely abusive environment) and it wasn’t until leaving for college (4 months ago!) that he was able to start figuring out who he is as a person separate from his family’s damaging influence.

He is trying to educate himself. Not just about gender but race and disability and religion. He’s reading books and watching youtube channels and asking a lot of (sometimes problematic! sometimes performative!) questions of people who are willing to answer them (mostly me and my friends at the climbing gym where he hangs out after class every day). He talks to us so he doesn’t bother his new friends his age with his questions. He started using the free counseling service on campus (so he’s not, you know, expecting free emotional labor from friends/girlfriends). He’s joined the gay/straight alliance. He’s attended various talks and events held by special interest groups on campus. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of my own undergraduate students with such a genuine interest in learning about other people’s worldviews and lived experiences or one who has changed this much in such a short period of time.

It’s pretty audacious that you think you know more about this person and the standard he should be held to, after seeing one (funny! Jesus. I chose that part of the conversation because it was funny) tiny piece of the interaction I’ve had with this individual than I do. Someone who has spent several hours a week talking to him for several months. Watching him change drastically over that period.

Four months. His education started four months ago.

I’m holding him to a standard he has a chance of meeting.

Op is the only bitch in this thread I respect

notcayleb

Those replies were not shocking but dissapointing to read.

Tumblr is not the place to grow or learn about progressive topics. It’s too polarizing.

stargazing-enby

If people are trying to grow, please, give them a chance to.

star-anise

“Asking a trusted expert on the topic” is doing research. Have you gone on Youtube lately and tried to search something basic like “What is the patriarchy?” There’s a ton of trash out there! Sometimes it’s actually better to ask someone you know and trust than dive face-first into Google results.

doomhamster

YES THIS.

The internet isn’t a curated collection where you can be sure that the person you just sneered “educate yourself” at will be able to find the knowledge they need at a level they’re currently equipped to understand and without getting toxic shit along with it.

It doesn’t even have to be incel alt-right type toxic shit. I’m personally not delighted with the idea of young people who’re just starting to take an interest in feminism learning more about the topic from the kind of “I’m totally not a TERF but I’m constantly burping up their cold takes” people you find here on tumblr.

“I don’t have to educate you” rethoric sounds great in theory but if you actually give a fuck about things getting better in practice? Just answer people’s well-intentioned questions.

Haven’t you heard? If you don’t come out of the womb fully woke then you’re the enemy and should be shunned.

why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure we’ve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but like…

rainbow mountains (peru)

red soil (canada/PEI)

rings (saturn’s if they were on earth)

bioluminescent waves

northern lights (canada)

salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)

and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and don’t get me started on BUGS like… we have bugs cooler than sw aliens

BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species

wearethesparkk

I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:

Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar

Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)

Chocolate Hills, Philippines

Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland

So many missed opportunities with cool ass things on Earth, Lucasfilms smh…

memcjo

Earth is effing amazing!

isnerdy-deactivated20190101

Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina

Lake Retba, Senegal

Tepui, Venezuela

Tianzi Mountains, China

bunjywunjy

these would make amazing Star Wars planets OR fantasy material:

Tsingy du Bemaraha, Madagascar again (but a different part)

(those are razor-sharp, if you were wondering. very little of this area has been explored because YIKES)

Lake Natron, Tanzania

(looks cool, but is alkaline enough to Kill Your Shit)

Lake Baikal, Russia

(the deepest lake in the world, seriously)

and I’ll wrap it up with Son Doong Cave, Vietnam, the largest cave in the entire world.

it puts anything Dagobah has to offer to absolute shame:

(seriously, the largest chamber is 660 feet high. you could jam a fucking skyscraper in there and still lose it)

anyway I really like caves thanks for coming to my ted talk

death-threat-collector

If I’m ever gonna make a movie with cool weird alien features I’m first gonna ask the internet for weird, wonderful places on earth to look at for inspiration.
