i love seeing people with very little experience in stem try to write scientist characters working. “he finished the. equation 🩷” yay girl!!!! what was that for though

[valtsv]

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.

re: my last reblog notice how whenever someone cries bigotry and you go check out the actual text and it turns out the "callout‐er" actually just took the whole thing out of context its nearly ALWAYS a person of that group talking about their own experience in a way that the op in question does not approve of bc they dont understand it.

[hateandashbury]

like im not saying those "cancel culture" assholes are correct bc we know none of them ever experienced any real consequences. people will forgive and forget anything they do bc theyre pretty much all white cishet men whose identity pretty much all of our systems are centered around.

but have you noticed that whenever the person in question is not one of those things the response to it is disproportionally large already, with larger swathes of ppl to attack them when those same ppl do not attack other people who say or do even worse things bc theyre their white faves? its bad enough as it is, right? imagine what its like when the "offender" in question was literally just talking about their own group.

nonwhite ppl getting accused of racism. women getting accused of misogyny. trans ppl getting accused of transphobia incl. trans women being being accused of transmisogyny. disabled ppl of ableism. I can think of examples for all of these and I can cite them if asked.

and look im not positioning myself as magically above this either seen as not only I myself am a white latino leftist theres also the fact that this happens intracommunity as well, and a lot. but I do think we have to start recalling that the "critical" in "critical thinking" doesnt mean "immediately throw this to the dogs upon first contact". it means "look at this text, see what it says, what it means to say, what it implies, and if any of that stands up to reality, while keeping in mind who this person is, where theyre coming from, and why they specifically would say something like this." and only then you decide what to do with it.

but also at the risk of sounding patronizing I recognize that this is a slightly more cognitively challenging path to take and our human brains prefer the easiest route possible, every time. just believing with no nuance is easy enough as it is, and you're saying this also allows me this to feel better than someone else (sense of moral superiority) while at the same time feeling an unmatched sense of belonging to a special group (virtue signaling)? damn sign me the fuck up I guess! this is all shit the brain loves to feed on and thats exactly why its so dangerous and why we should all be a little more vigilant about immediately enthusiastically agreeing or disagreeing with something. read what its saying first. then if its actually talking shit (dont get me wrong it often is) then we can thrash it in the appropriate proportionate way. is all

i think every british journalist should just be gunned down

On the small soggy wet archipelago that makes up the modern day united kingdom, sunny days are a rare phenomenon. As such, the peoples of england cherish each and every one, even going so far as to write songs about them in their local music. With sunlight in such high demand, to block it deliberately is nigh unthinkable, hence their cultural confusion at the invention of the parasol.

[cythraul]

So if you read the article, (1) you'll see the reporter is Japanese, and (2) the article isn't even about the sun.

Across much of the world, umbrellas are simply used to shield people from the rain or to shade them from the sun. And while visitors to Japan may see many locals using them for these purposes, parasols also serve a far more powerful role in Japanese culture: they're spiritual vessels. According to Tatsuo Danjyo, Professor Emeritus of humanities at Beppu University in Japan's Ōita prefecture, Japanese tradition holds that certain objects – including umbrellas – can serve as yorishiro (an object that attracts gods or spirits). This belief is deeply rooted in history. Umbrellas first appeared in Japan between the 9th and 11th Centuries, but instead of shielding people from the weather, they served as symbols of spiritual or political power. Early umbrellas, such as the long-handled sashikake-gasa, were reserved for religious and political figures and were held by attendants over the elite.

It goes on.

I vividly remember this happening a few years back, when a Tumblr user posted a screenshot of a published journal article about why Indian food tastes particularly good. "White people spend all this time and money trying to work out why someone else has better food than them to discover the answer is 'spices'," they sneered

And I remember someone tracked down the actual article and discovered that (a) the authors were Indian, and (b) the answer was actually a super cool exploration of how Indian cookery uses spices to create contrasting flavours, unlike almost every other cuisine, which tries to pair similar/harmonising flavours.

Something something when your desire to dunk on white/British people makes you erase the work and cultural discussions of POC

ok this was originally gonna be a tagdump but the last comment made me think. this socially interests me enough to ramble a little.

it intrigues me how some people are so focused on calling out racism that they inadvertently circle back into having a white-centric mindset, just instead of glorification, it's demonization to the point of not reading what's being said or even who said it. i wonder if it's related to journalism speak and how people assume based on the writing style or think that the news site,,, indicates the journalist's whiteness? i don't know.

there's something about the fact this happened enough times that two instances are noted in this post, two journalists of specific cultures making articles explaining an aspect of their culture, but something about the wording or the site it's hosted on or SOMETHING made people immediately assume a white person wrote it out of ignorance or hate. it makes me wonder how many other articles detailing real history or culture were ignored because the author was assumed white.

it confuses me more when it's white people saying these things. if you cared so much about the potential racism of what's being said/written, wouldn't you want to know exactly what it is they're saying so that you can think critically about the author's intent, motivation, and background in relation to the article? or to at the very least see who the author is if you plan to form an opinion on their work?

on the other hand i can kind of understand it from the standpoint of "white people historically appropriate cultures they get their hands on and colonize the shit out of things" so it's not like i blame people of colour for being on-guard about the idea of white people writing about "why does this culture do this?" or "why is this culture's food/invention/status so good?", but if you don't know who wrote what you're criticizing you might, as the last reblog said, erase the work and cultural discussion of journalists of colour aiming to share their experiences and history.

people of all cultures live everywhere, just because it's an american or british news site doesn't immediately mean the authors are all white colonizers who want to appropriate or make fun of the culture they're writing about. don't get me wrong i'm white myself and not very scholarly-educated, so who knows, i could be way off the mark, so sorry if i spoke out of turn, but it interests me enough to talk about what causes people to jump at things like this without thinking twice.
