I think I should start bragging about my adopted son’s achievements when people around me start bragging about their kids. Ooooh your child can count to 10 in mandarin? Well, my child found 110 landmines! And he’s only 6 years old!

[paper--machete]

it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game

[paper--machete]

fuck it. reblog this and tell me in the tags what your favorite album is

We really do need to bring back the word "trolling" and warning ppl not to feed the trolls

[shamebats]

That TikTok of ppl pouring tomato sauce directly on the counter, adding spaghetti & mixing it with their hands while commenting how great of an idea it is? Yeah, we used to call that trolling, it's pathetic & bc all they want from it is attention, the best thing is not to give them any. Block & move on.

I keep seeing it on here too. Someone comments something outrageous on a post & gets dozens of ppl to respond, filling the entire comment section & making it unusable. And on Instagram, a comment saying "I hate colors" on a post of someone showing off colorful art gets 100 replies while positive comments get none. Congrats, you've fed the troll. Now stop doing it.

[shamebats]

Trolling used to get you banned from forums. Now they call you an influencer and give you brand deals & ad revenue. That's why it's more important than ever not to feed the trolls, especially in spaces where any attention is good attention and getting yelled at by 10k ppl in the comments counts as "engagement", boosting your troll post in the algorithm.

i give it scant years before desktop computers come back fashion a la record players and people talk about bringing back computer rooms, not taking your computer around the house, "intentional" computing, "it's really important to take the time out and just sit with your computer and really absorb the action of computing" it will be no different from the romance and nostalgia surrounding the notion of throwing on a vinyl

i can feel this on the horizon it is creeping up on me on the daily

pacific rim fucks severely for a lot of reasons but my favorite is that it opens with "the lizard aliens are unionizing so we built robots running on the power of love to fight them you got all that right" and before you have time to really process that concept bam gunshot body on the floor and the movie goes "now consider the vast power of grief in this setup" it never really stops considering

[catgirlbignaturals]

It also has a scene where the robot uses a boat as a baseball bat. That also fucks tremendously.

How many DC comic book issues have you read? 

I have not read a single comic issue or DC official webtoon.

I have not read a single comic issue, I have read a DC official webtoon.

I have read 1-100 issues of DC comics.

I have read 101-200 issues of DC comics.

I have read 201-300 issues of DC comics.

I have read 301-400 issues of DC comics.

I have read 401-500 issues of DC comics 

I have read 501-600 issues of DC comics

I have read 601-700 issues of DC comics

I have read 701-800 issues of DC comics

I have read 801-900 issues of DC comics

I have read 900+ issues of DC comics (sorry ran out of poll options)

Voting ended onSep 17, 2025

the webtoons are only relevant for people who HAVE NOT read a comic issue. I only want to differentiate between them. If you have read more than one comic book issue and have read a webtoon you go in to a category below the second. I also am not counting these webtoons as comic book issues. if you have read 200 webtoon episodes, but only 40 comic book issues, you go into the third category, sorry not sorry.

category differences of 100 may seem like a lot, but comic runs can span at least that long. Batgirl 2000 was around 75 issues, Green lantern 1990 was 120-ish issues, Green Arrow 2001 was 75-ish issues, Teen titans 2003 was 100 issues, Green Arrow 1988 was 140-ish issues, the new titans was 130 issues, Nightwing 1996 was 150ish issues Wonder Woman 1987 was 220 issues, ect. ect.. reading a lot of long runs really adds up.

I'm sorry I couldn't get higher than 900!! I know people have read a lot more than that, esp. if long term fans. there's also people reading that many a year! but unfortunately,, tumblr only has 12 options, and i needed a somewhat reasonable difference between each option.

please please reblog for larger sample sizeeeee. <3 <3

in the end any ideal future where the status of the Immigrant continues to exist but people are Cooler about it is a proof of how invisible the violence on the periphery is

its like that super cool queer positive utopia where homophobia doesnt exist but the nuclear family and private property & title given through kin exist

"Racialised" is much better than PoC but I've been leaning a lot on the concept of racial markedness. Because that allows us to make statements like "the name Jamal is racially marked in USA". Rather than saying something like "Jamal is a PoC name", a nonsense statement, saying it's racially marked in USA allows us to contrast with societies like Albania or the Arab countries where the name Jamal is ordinary, thus unmarked.

[strawhatsufi]

It's a concept I've kind of imported from linguistic analysis; saying a speech pattern is more or less marked does not really allow us to avoid the subject of who's doing the marking. A statement like "womens' speech is more marked in Lakota" necessitates that we understand that it's the Lakota who are marking womens' speech. A foreigner can't tell the difference and probably doesn't understand why it would thus be weird to see a man using speech patterns associated with women, in the same way an Albanian wouldn't understand why USA people would think Jamal is a Black name.

[strawhatsufi]

You! You get it. In my view, if someone is saying "racialised" or "racially marked" without acknowledgement of context, they are doing it in a way that is gramatically incorrect.

there’s this moral purity-based insistence on retconning past interest or even love of the Harry Potter franchise and it’s just like. grow up. you liked the same thing as everyone else in your age bracket. it’s fine. liking Harry Potter in 2007 doesn’t make you a TERF it makes you a millennial.
