29, he/him, queer. Post infrequently about topics in ecology and conservation science. Mostly star trek, memes, politics, and cute pictures of animals. Oh! and I have a dog named Suzie Q. To see Suzie in all her glory: #SZQ

So apparently this is very much intentional. Black creators on TikTok have indeed gone on strike. And whether people realize it or not, this is the result.

If your head isn't in the ground, you know that Black creativity is often rebranded with a white face. That Black people tend to come up with the dances to these popular songs. But you wouldn't know that based on who actually gains something from it. Wanting credit, actually getting it? Gets you labeled entitled or mean and is like pulling teeth.

And don't even get me started on the way Black people on TikTok are swept under the rug or how these "not" racist fans get their panties in a bunch when people point out their white faves culpability in the mess.

But anyway, Black TikTok apparently noticed this trend of appropriation and theft and got fed up. So some of them banded together and promised not to create a dance to Thot Shit.

We'll see where this goes but I'm proud that they're standing up for themselves. Enough is enough. Black TikTok creatives are the backbone of that app. Credit and support them.

Reddit’s tech help threads may heckle you for being an amateur but at least they don’t try to gaslight you like Adobe help threads

[spitblaze]

You think I’m joking but I’m dead serious

[prokopetz]

Basically every big tech company does this. Apple, Microsoft – ask anybody who’s worked frontline tech support for any of them, and they’ll probably tell you that there was a list of known issues – with known solutions – that they explicitly weren’t allowed to help people solve, because according to company policy, those issues officially did not exist; instead, they were supposed to convince anyone who called in that they were misunderstanding the software’s normal behaviour and/or straight up imagining things.

the fact that chickens, who produce eggs for families and are fairly low-cost pets after initial expenses, are not allowed in many areas due to noise but dogs, who are considerably noisier and considerably more a risk to people are, is kind of ridiculous

[homeofhousechickens]

The banning of chickens in cities has definitely helped contribute to the creation of food deserts in said cities.

HOAs disallowing people to grow their own food is another example.

men hate it when you speak to them like a fruity camp counselor call someone buddy or sport or tell them to simmer down and youll find they want your head on a stick so naturally i utilize this tactic often

[mrspider-deactivated20221213]

[asskylosaurus]

Op what does it mean if I find it incredibly comforting and nice?

❌❗️STOP SCROLLING❗️❌

This is very important!!!

These beautiful animals are the vaquitas, the world’s smallest and most endangered porpoise. There are an estimated 12-30 remaining in the wild and their numbers have been rapidly declining due to being caught in illegal fishing nets.

APROXIMATELY 36 ARE KILLED EACH YEAR. THERE ARE ONLY 30 LEFT. THIS COULD BE THEIR LAST YEAR IF WE DON’T DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

Donate to conservation foundations like the WWF who work to protect vaquitas! We need to keep this beautiful animal on our planet!!!

Please share this post so we can spread awarness because hardly anyone knows about them!!!

[todaysbird]

The numbers have gone down even more since this post was originally made.

genuinely think that twitter culture has actively harmed people's perception on what activism truly is

[ankle-beez]

the way twitter culture actively manipulates and warps people's minds into thinking that if you truly stand for something you have to talk about it and retweet posts about it 24/7 with no breaks and if you take a single break to collect yourself and distract yourself with something that makes you happy you're not really in support of whatever the incredibly important thing that's going on at the moment is is an incredibly dangerous thing to propagate and is actively harming how people approach these topics

[zorilleerrant]

I think this is true, but I think it’s part of a larger and more general problem of, essentially, being observed all the time, and also having the record of that observation be permanent. I would argue that this is the same phenomenon as several other problems attributed to social media:

increased obsession with appearance, especially of appearance of health/fitness (being skinny, wearing makeup); fad diets

increased obsession with “the grind”/efficiency; monetizing hobbies; influencers, especially “child influencers”

scrupulosity wrt what people say; “wholesomeness”; purity culture and cancel culture; evaluation of language over message

FOMO; compulsive documentation; keeping up with the Joneses style staged photographic evidence; apologizing for being offline

expecting people to be available all the time/being expected to be available all the time; entitlement to celebrities’ personal lives; oversharing and demanding information from both friends and strangers

Anyway, anyone born into the new millennium has grown up with the expectation that they are being watched, always, about everything, and it’s not even wrong. And it ends up with them conflating wanting to do the right thing with wanting to look like they did the right thing to future historians. Which is a topic I think Internet Safety should delve into, except I don’t think anyone gives kids those lectures anymore.

i LOVE blood. i LOOOOOOOVE violence and killing to death forever. anger hatred

[quinndolyns-deactivated20220403]

honestly this is 100% indicative of the way tumblr leftists love to glorify violence. their entire ideology is one predicated on making sure that violence is directed at the “proper targets”, which usually just entails whoever the lefties are mad at on any given day, whether that be ““The Rich”“, small business owners, rational thinkers, diaper fetishists, or just “capitalism”. this is why the left will never win; their unity is one based on destruction and hatred.
