Here is something I don’t think I’ve ever said to anyone in my life:

you know when someone tells you that you should trust your gut, your instincts, your inner voice.. yeah well actually that doesn’t really work when you’re mentally ill cause most of the time I feel like my gut or my instincts are actually lying to me. and that could be really scary.

this actually is rewiring my brain as we speak

i get that its popular but has anyone thought about how fucked up the truman show is? like it was really funny last week when he tripped over that bird but think about it... he doesnt know...

okay if you care so much then don't watch 🙄 people are always whining about the show but I knowwww you're tuning in. besides he's never known anything else at this point it'd be cruel to end the show. like what are they gonna do? just release him into the wild?

every time someone talks about how “capitalism breeds innovation”, i think about the fact that capitalism killed the streaming service in less than ten years

like…the entire point of netflix when it started was that you could log into one service and you could find thousands of different tv shows and movies in one place, for one price, AND you didn’t have to wait for several weeks to watch the conclusion of a tv show AND you didn’t have to worry about your favorite new show getting cancelled half-way through a season for lack of viewership.

and then every single other channel out there thought “hm. why are we using a third party site to do what WE could do ourselves?” except not a single one of them had enough material in their libraries to do what netflix was doing. but they still pulled all their content out of netflix anyway and tried to do what netflix was doing. and then disney decided to do it as well, which… essentially just killed netflix.

but not only did they kill netflix, they just restarted cable! the whole point of a streaming service was being able to watch one show in one go, over a weekend or something. but bc these services don’t have enough material to keep people invested on paying every month, they have… to…. release shows one episode at a time, so that by the time one show ends they can roll out a new one and keep the subscriptions. which just? defeats the point?

and now we’re all just. back to torrenting one episode at a time, because nobody is paying for “cable…but on the internet”. all because capitalism breeds innovation

Capitalism holds innovation back. Think of the energy sector. Think of how clean energy is fully scientifically ready to go but is largely unavailable because it’s not profitable to existing oil companies. Think of the health research and studies that got shot down because they would have killed a profitable pharmaceutical business plan.

Think about the amount of art that never gets produced because some fucking corporate bigwigs that have never made anything in their lives getting to decide what experiences are shared. The point of art is to create something to share the human experience with other people, not to drive up profit margins.

Riveting poetry, beautiful stories, gorgeous scultures and paintings that will never be seen because a tycoon is like “eh, it won’t make me enough money”.

Electric cars and cars that electrolyse water to use as hydrogen fuel were invented in the early 20th century and their patents were bought by oil companies.

they should invent someone who would really like just doing laundry and taxes with me. i think

adulthood is like dog training but you are both the dog and the trainer and also it doesn’t work and is bad

idk man I just think it’s kind of ironic for a bunch of Christian-majority European countries to call Muslim and Jewish slaughter practices ‘torture’ when Christianity has never had any religiously-based practices about being humane to animals because the typical Christian-rooted mindset is that the natural world and its creatures are things to be conquered and controlled rather than something we depend on to live, and only recently has the Western Christian world become concerned about the welfare of animals on a wide scale

one of the most important things, perhaps the most important thing I have learned in my life is that nice people can fuck each other up in monstrous ways. people can be bone deep kind and loving and self reflective and still lash out under pressure. people can be earnestly neighbourly and charitable and hospitable and generous and still find themselves in situations where they become selfish. people can be well meaning and easygoing and gregarious and hold deep seated opinions that turn them into vicious little bullies under the right conditions. nobody is just one thing, and nobody stays one way. every person is a kaleidoscope and they will surprise you. you will surprise yourself. it's not a warning and it's not a judgement and it's not an excuse, and it's certainly not a reason to stop trying or to stop trusting. it is just a fact.

perhaps the second most important thing I've learned is that there are people out there who know this, and who prey upon it. it might look like a scammer making you think you can get away with something selfish; it might look like a radfem pushing on your pains and traumas to make you afraid of trans people; it might look like a 'life coach' pressuring you to retreat from your friends and family for the sake of personal wellness. stay on a swivel for the people who like you most when you act out.

i have a friend who has kinda bad eczema on their right hand but their left hand is fine and thats because acidity makes eczema worse and that includes vaginal acidity and my friend is both a lesbian and a slut so they finger a lot of people and that fucks up the hand they use (their right hand). Anyways do you think BBC sherlock would deduce that by looking at my friend’s hands
