You should automatically get time off work until the light returns to your eyes and you feel like a real person again

So with voting do you cum when a person get bitten into or when a person is swallowed or does it depend on the moment

usually you just mark a ballot with a pen or you select the candidate you want on a screen. sometimes you hole punch the ballot though

i love how absolutely none of these tragedies give a fuck about ismene. she truly is just a figment of antigone's imagination. she is born the moment antigone makes her choice as a desperate last-ditch attempt from the narrative to try to save antigone while at the same time cementing her death resolution for good. her purely situational and instrumental value are shrouded in failure from the very moment she steps on the scene and it compels me

If you've ever thought to yourself "I basically know who this person is" about a stranger from reading their posts or watching their youtube videos, I guarantee you're wrong. Yes, even if you've been following them for a long time. Knock it off.

It's possible to know a fictional character purely from the little vignettes in a story because the author has intentionally structured those moments to show every relevant facet of the character. If you finish a story, and there were two scenes where the character was nice and one where they liked rollercoasters, then that's the character! They are nice and they like rollercoasters.

REAL PEOPLE DO NOT WORK LIKE THIS.

Real people posting on social media may appear somewhat similar to a fictional character being revealed scene by scene. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. You are not being shown a curated collection of carefully authored scenes that intentionally build up to a full character! You are seeing a random assortment of moments when the person felt like posting on social media, filtered through imprecise wording, missing context, whether the person slept well the night before, and who knows how many other factors. Real people are orders of magnitude more complicated than fictional characters because they are not designed to be easily understood by an audience! If you try to interpret social media posts as a found-footage story it will lead only to ruin!

I've been trying to reframe how I talk about content-producers to prevent myself from falling into this overly-familiar trap.

"That band? I haven't listened to all their music, but I like what I've heard. This song's my favorite."

"That actor? I enjoyed their performance in this movie and that TV show. Made me laugh AND cry. Good actor."

"YouTuber? I like their series on book-to-movie adaptations."

"Tumblr person? Yeah, I follow them because I like their posts on fashion history."

Being specific about WHAT you like makes for better conversations, and you don't fall into the "omg I LOVE them!" trap.

You're not putting someone on a pedestal, built up by your idea if them, so you're less likely to go knee-jerk-defensive if someone criticizes them. Keep some professional distance between you and "person you don't personally know but whose work you enjoy."
