imagine being a dog and you think your chances are pretty good. and then you look over and there's Mitski getting her wallet out

You’re an organ in the working body of this world, Mallory Glass. No amount of scornful looks and sour remarks is going to change that.

sorry but once you notice how often ppl use a southern accent as shorthand for being unintelligent you can never unsee it. classism is baked so deeply and why are you acting like anyone who talks the way my grandfather talks is stupid.

Absolute perfection.

[what-even-is-thiss]

A lot of my personal political opinions boil down to “hey this thing clearly isn’t going anywhere so maybe if we’re stuck with it then we should make it better and see what’s good about it” and a lot of people on tumblr generally seem to interpret that sentiment as me saying “I think that the current system is perfect and am ignoring everything bad about it and also I’m going to kill your mother”

[what-even-is-thiss]

Personally I’m a pragmatist when it comes to politics. I wanna know what I can get done now and in the realistically near future. Which really annoys a lot of idealists, I’m learning.

If I have to work within the system to make things better I’m gonna do that. If working outside of the system works better then I’ll do that. Realistically you probably need a combination of both.

[what-even-is-thiss]

There’s a lot of “this is how it’s always been” attitudes out there I’ve noticed. And the two reactions that frequently annoy me are “so we can’t change it” and “so we have to tear down all of it”

First of all, no matter what you’re talking about it probably hasn’t always been like this. Things change constantly. Second of all, there’s a middle ground in life between tearing down the system to the foundation and allowing it to continue unchanged. In fact, that middle ground is where a lot of utilitarian, unglamorous progress happens while those two groups on the extremes are sitting around twiddling their thumbs.

The day to day actions of making the world a better place are boring and they’re often a repetitive slog. Voting, donating, protesting, volunteering, picking up trash, lying down in a government building, boycotting, planting gardens, working, parenting, walking from office to office and asking for things directly. Chipping away at a concrete wall with a spoon.

Here’s the thing though. There’s a lot of people with spoons. So unless you’re planning out the revolution all by yourself then get swinging with that spoon of yours.

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

[paradigm-adrift]

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.

holy shit this person in the notes

[e-the-village-cryptid]

where's that post about how you can make up any straw man on tumblr and a scarecrow will pop up in the notes like "talking about me, were you?"

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people
