Lies

Funny to me to think about the whole "oh you say you don't like <insert website> but you'll gladly reblog content FROM <insert website>" as like... trade exports between nations that all a little bit don't like each other.

"Come try these grapes. They're from Tiktok." "OH Tiktok? Wonderful. They grow the best grapes. We just don't have the right terrain for them here." "I agree. Lovely grapes. Wretched country though, I'd never live there." "Oh me neither. They cancel their peasants in the town square. Speaking of, have you seen the new textiles boypussydilf is selling in the town square? Imported from Instagram!" "Oh amazing textiles, Instagram has. Wretched country though." "Absolutely wretched."

Tumblr, stop filling my For You page with bugs! Please. I beg you.

They can be cool and important and I love that some people love them so much and want to share. But it ain’t for me, and the “this post isn’t for me” seems to have no affect.

I’m so glad I suffered through a comms history class so that I can understand this meme better. And all memes, I suppose?

This is round 4 of determining the least popular villager. The one with the least votes will move on.

I couldn’t wait for Curly to leave, but then he stayed around for like, over 1 year and now I’m kinda glad. He totally grew on me.

Oh no, Ubisoft games at risk of becoming even more bland and shit.

The promise of capitalists was that increased automation would mean there is less labor to do so we have more time for art. Instead they have delivered to us through AI automation that means there is less art to do so we have more time for labor.

Well shit, Henry Jenkins, out here in 1997 dropping truth bombs

[addressmysol]

Oh hey I need this for a research paper I'm writing, thank you!

[angstbotfic]

i mean he had been out here since 1988 dropping such bombs:

"'fandom' is a vehicle of marginalized subcultural groups (women, the young, gays, etc.) to pry open space for their cultural concerns within dominant representations; it is a way of appropriating media texts and rereading them in a way that serves different interests, a way of transforming mass culture into a popular culture"

Jenkins, Henry. “Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 5, no. 2 (1988): 85–107. https://doi.org/10.1080/15295038809366691.  

there are even some earlier works in fan studies but that’s what i have ready to hand.

Henry's been amazing for a long time.
