I wish Broadway would just film their musicals and release them on film, I know for sure I’d buy and collect them just so I could see the full experience and not need to waste 5,000$ and more just for a few hours

It was a huge disappointment as a child to fall in love with the stars and then find out how much math it requires to get anywhere near them.

Shoutout to everyone that had a dream career or ideal life but were roadblocked by math.

Also shout out to all the non-math inclined people who pushed through those bullshit numbers to get to their dream career. Biologists, I’m looking at you

reblog if you’d rather die than be forced to take a cure for autism.

If a cure was made, I would NOT take it. Ever. I bet if it was made (which it won’t be because we won’t let them) we would all be forced to take it. But I will not. I’d rather fucking die!!

We don’t need a cure!

even my homophobic dad made a good point about homophobic people. he said that when you mention a gay couple to homophobes they always get disgusted and the first image that pops in their head is fucking in the ass, lesbian porn etc, etc and when you mention straight couples to them they think about two people holding hands and romantic shit like that. i hate this so much because homophobes consider gay people to be something disgusting and impure which is infuriating because they consider gay people to be these objects that only think about dick or pussy and that being gay is the only thing that ecompasses a gay person, like we don’t have personality or something

This reminds me of when I was younger and told my mom about a story I was writing. The main male character has a male love interest. As I was talking, she cut me off and said “Oh, great. So the whole story’s about sex.”

I couldn’t even understand what she was talking about. I just kinda gave her an attitude back with “actually–no it’s not.” And she was really sarcastic about it and said, “Actually, yeah it is.”

I didn’t realize until just now that her entire perspective of what being gay is, is this gross sexualization of everything.

thank you for adding this comment because i fucking hate the gross sexualiation

This is so so true. When I was in a poly relationship, my mother would say"I don’t understand why you put so much emphasis on sex,“ and I’d be all, “same?”

Concept: You walk outside one night and notice that there are two full moons. A few hours go by and they don’t seem to move.

You stare up at them.

They blink.

please stop reblogging sylvia plath poetry

thorndykes-deactivated20161204

For ppl asking why she’s an anti black, anti Semite. She has used the n word and compared her depression to the holocaust

transwolvie

Even not counting her poetry her private journals are full of disgusting, overblown antisemitism. She didn’t just use Jewish people for her metaphors, she outright hated them irl and yet decided to use their suffering for her own gain

here’s a source with some quotes

okay, I’m Jewish and I appreciate this sentiment. and if someone wants to cut out Sylvia Plath, go for it, I get it.

But. by this logic we’d also need to stop reblogging TS Eliot, Oscar Wilde, and Shakespeare quotes. Virginia Woolf wrote anti-semetic things in her private journals, too. If you only want to read classic poets who liked Jews and black people, that’s fine, but like. good luck? Sylvia Plath isn’t an exception.

idk. Tumblr’s attitude of “consume nothing problematic” just doesn’t work if you’re part of a group that most culture-creators over the last few centuries have hated by default. For people actually in those groups, it’s not like the only two choices are 1) worship authors who hate you or 2) completely cut the majority of literature out of your life. You learn to read critically and acknowledge flaws where you find them.

anyway, as a Jewish woman, I would much rather see a version of this post that said “please read Sylvia Plath poetry critically because she’s anti black and antisemetic” than just “stop reblogging Sylvia Plath poetry.”

IMO, reblog Sylvia Plath all you want, just not unthinkingly.

Yes, this, a million times. Tumblr’s all or nothing culture is so goddamn EXHAUSTING. It’s okay to think critically about things. I promise.

I just accidentally invented a new idiom, maybe?

“Licking a tree & hoping for maple syrup.”

aka “A attempt at resolving/achieving something with less effort than is required for success, & a high probability of it proving merely futile & faintly unpleasant’

I can support this as a turn of phrase.

I think you’ve really tapped into something here.

people are allowed to leave you. people are allowed to break up with you. people are allowed to love you but not want to be with you. people are allowed to not want to talk to you. people are allowed to put their happiness before yours and do what makes them happy even if it does not include you. people are allowed to move on from you. people are allowed to fall in love with someone else. people are allowed to not want you in their life. people are allowed to do whatever they want to better themselves and become the version of themselves they are trying so hard to love. don’t be bitter towards someone who is only trying to be happy.

I feel like this POV does not get enough voice.

hate the fandom idea that if you criticise something it means you hate it and hate everyone enjoying it. that’s false. i can’t stop criticising overwatch, but if you’d look at my blog for 3 seconds you’d also see i love the game. every book i’ve read in the last couple of years has contained things i criticise them for, and yet i’ve read my top favourite books of all time during that time as well.

the idea that you can criticise a creator’s work and the idea that you can still enjoy it can co-exist. acting like everything you consume can never be criticised is dangerous, because it means people won’t talk about improvement in, for example, portrayal of minorities. it also shows how extremely privileged the anti-discourse part, the “just enjoy the work” part, of fandom is, because complaining about artistic discourse purposefully shuts down voices that aren’t white, cisgender and heterosexual: it’s white fans that complain about how fans of colour ruin their fandom by bringing up racism; it’s cis fans that complain about how trans fans ruin fandom by bringing up transphobia within the work; it’s heterosexual fans that complain about how lgbt fans ruin everything by bringing up homophobia.

criticising media is healthy, it’s good, and it’s what improves what we consume. criticism is a part of the artistic culture, part of a discussion between consumers and its creators, and fandom needs to realise that it can’t separate itself from that.
