speak to yourself often and see what you have to say. be a little kinder and watch yourself grow

#we have access to so many people’s opinions #???#that’s a little scary #kaimito

we are supposed to love, not suffer

suffering does not equate to intelligence. intelligence does not equate to kindness. kindness is what propelled humans forward. discovery and technology are limitless because of greed and meaningless without love. :(

people will say “grades don’t define your worth, university rankings and going into higher education don’t define your worth, your productivity doesn’t define your worth” etc. when there’s little to no structural support for people who don’t follow these traditional routes. like ultimately no matter how much you say these things don’t actually ~matter~, from a material standpoint they do, in fact, matter very much lol. intellectually i might agree with you but i’ll believe it when society actually starts valuing people who aren’t considered “assets” to the production & maintenance of capital lmao

There's a sort of morbid fascination tied to english native speakers who think refusing to speak english stems from an inability to do so instead of an active choice and then proceed to make wild assumptions on other people based on the fact that "they're talking about a language they don't speak" as if there isn't a high probability our written english is equal if not better than yours

hot take but men and women aren’t different species and any worldview you adopt that leads you to act like they are is suspect at best and will lead you to some not great ideological places

Gender essentialism wasn’t woke when when the fucking church did it and just because yall slapped a vaguely feminist veneer over the same concept doesn’t make it woke now lmao

“When you’re a person of color or a woman of any race, you can be labeled in a way that can change the trajectory of your life, health and career,”

There was this point in time where a lot of Black fans saw Sleepy Hollow and the Sequel Trilogy as this sort’ve paradigm shift for Black actors. Where DCTV and everything else was only ever offering side or supporting character roles (or worse, emotional support beaus for the white heroes), SH and TFA just dropped two Black leads on our laps. And while some of us were waiting for Lucy’s football trick, others genuinely didn’t suspect malicious intent would come of this.

It means something for Nicole Beharie and John Boyega to open up (repeatedly in Boyega’s case) about the emotional distress of being mistreated and gas-lit over their positions as major actors in Sleepy Hollow and Star Wars, and watching all of that blow up in their faces because FOX and Disney (now one entity) chose to uphold whiteness instead of doing right by them.

There’s definitely something to be said about how both SH and the ST just imploded on themselves at almost the same time. (The commonality is exactly what happened in the 90s with the Black Sitcom boom. Draw in certain audiences, cancel content that drew them in and replace it with the status quo.)

It’s nightmarish how their circumstances parallel each other, but are radically different based on sex. Sexism and misogynoir probably keeps Beharie’s commentary a little more guarded than Boyega’s (and she has been blackballed because of SH’s executives), but their experiences are bound up in how their environment and the people within dehumanized them.

And on the flip side you had white and non-Black fandom doing the exact same thing to Black fans who peeped the shit before either of them were comfortable or safe enough to be as honest as they’ve been thus far. It’s fuckin’ wild, man.

Haikyuu!! was a series that made me laugh, cry, and smile for many years. These characters mean so much to me and seeing them grow with us will always be something I will hold dear to my heart forever. Thank you, Furudate, for bringing them to life. Thank you for everything.

That strange feeling of longing when you are at a train station, in a 24/7 open market, when you are buying a coke from a vending machine, watching the city lights glow from your window, when you're walking aimlessly on a busy street after 5 pm, that feeling as if something is missing in your life and it will never come back although it was never there in the first place; that inexplicable urban sadness.

This is an actual thing in anthropology and urbanism guys!

Marc Auge explained how when we shifted from modernity to what he calls "supermodernity" we ended up creating "non-places". They're the opposite of place, as in they're places with no real identity, and have no real emotional connection with the users. They're there to fulfil a specific need and that's it. It's places like gas station, metro station and supermarkets, places where you go and you feel so detached, like everything is out of place. (The name of the book is "Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity" it's really interesting)

Rem Koolhaas also has a similar concept called Junkspaces, which are basically spaces that are born out of a capitalistic lifestyle, where everything is about selling and being bigger and more. Like malls and airports, and most big buildings. It's places that are empty, that tend to cut you off from the outside world and have no real connection to the users other than functionality. He also talked about the struggle of identity and city planning in Asian cities specifically in his essay "the generic city" and talks about how a lack of identity can lead to "empty" cities and this "urban sadness" op was talking about
