Seven years after, I see you again 😚
Guys this completely changed my writing, heed it. I often do an entire draft just looking at sentence variation and oftentimes the results are absolutely transformative in the difference.
i present the formula for creating excellent/strange insults:
adjective + curse word + noun
no one asked for your opinion, you abominable shit goblin
i fail to understand how you’ve become such a reprehensible fuck waffle
get out of my way, you sorry excuse for an intolerable ass pastry
i cannot believe that such an illiterate twat truck could ever be remotely polite
maybe if you weren’t such a troublesome goddamn elbow, we could get some things done around here
i see no one has reblogged my post. is it because you undeserving fuck llamas are afraid of the truth
I love that
FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES MINE IS LITERALLY

no offense but the sooner you all realise cringe culture is like, thinly veiled superiority complex and targets almost exclusively young people or people who aren’t neurotypical, the better
millennials better not throw gen z under the bus like we were thrown under by older generations. WE SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
One of the personal logic “basises” I use for my activism is the premise that “the system eats everyone.”
Basically if someone claims to be suffering in our society, they probably are. Now, that doesn’t mean they are correct in HOW they are suffering per se. Plenty of people who have some degree of privilege will take their sufferings and assume it’s not the fault of the people on top of them, but the people below them. This is a toxic and dangerous fallacy that leads to further oppression and y’know, fascism n stuff.
But that doesn’t change that those people are still suffering. Maybe not as badly, maybe not in the same way, but clearly society has decided to profit off of them and leave them to drown.
We have a society that encourages a rat race where you’re never happy with your current position. Part of that is human psychology (look up the hedonic treadmill if you want) but part of it is how society structures itself. You worked HARD for your position. If you work HARDER you’ll be even MORE successful. anyone below you is just in the wrong because they’re LAZY. And they’re trying to CHEAT their way up to the top. We see this even in our activism. “my marginalized identity is valid and had to WORK to be recognized and respected. This newer one is just a FAD that doesn’t deserve to just benefit from the hard work my group achieved” can pop up quite a lot.
In short, our current society is really good with the mentality of taking people in the middle and making them think their position must be defended at all costs from the encroaching lowers.
So, with this in mind, sometimes you get situations that aren’t clean cut.
As a random example, let’s say a person says “I am oppressed for being a goth.”
Now, the easy kneejerk reaction is “goth is not an inherent identity, you can stop being goth at any time, you getting your face loaded with metal piercings that drip snot is not comparable, there is no societal ingrained oppression for an identity that was created thirty years ago” But if we go back to the mentality of “society eats everyone”we can possibly think of ways that being goth can hurt you, even systematically.
1. Systematically, we dislike deviations from the norm. Maybe being goth isn’t specifically oppressed, but the hegemony is still upheld for a reason. Even having tattoos can make it difficult to get jobs.
2. Self expression is often dog whistled. When you look at a lot of things people bash, it’s usually not enough to be Weird. It’s what that being weird stands for. The people I know who are goth? Almost entirely transgender folk. Even the people I know who only overlap with the identity almost always overlap with being queer too. Maybe being goth is just clothing that can be changed out of, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t more insiduous underlying reasons for it. This is also why communities like, say, the furry community, or even the kink community can have awkward relationships with the concept of “oppression” not because of what they do, but because of how they served as that dog whistle. 3. Non systematic oppression things can amplify already existing marginalizations due to how it intersects. Similar to the point above, if you are a girl who is a goth, you might experience sexism that is altered because of how you present.
4. being goth might not be a systematic oppression at its purest–but it probably still sucks sometimes. The person probably isn’t using the word in the best way, but they are expressing an issue that does happen. Differentiating between systematic oppression and other types of oppression so to speak shouldn’t be the War of Who Is Valid. It should be used to accurately classify and categorize things, s owe know how to deal with it better. For example, if I go to an activity club, and one guy has decided to be a jerk to me, that’s not necessarily systematic oppression, that might just be bullying. You can argue if bullying itself comes from systematic enabling, but the point is, the answer isn’t to deny it’s a problem, the answer is to seek a different contextual solution. 5. Maybe this person has lived a wholly unique experience completely contrary to mine. Maybe my world views do not work with this person’s life. And that’s ok! So long as they don’t try and use it to change what works for other people to the negative, there is validity in accepting that maybe something you don’t understand or think is stupid is just… not something relevant to your life.
Wow this was a way longer ramble than I intended… In conclusion, that’s more or less how I try and deal with oppression that gets talked about, if you were ever confused by my logic or just wanted to read me talk about it, I guess.
“if someone claims to be suffering in our society, they probably are.” “Plenty of people who have some degree of privilege will take their sufferings and assume it’s not the fault of the people on top of them, but the people below them.”
So guys, I’ve got a bit of a problem.
My phone has gone completely dead.
Having a working smartphone is, in my case, about as important as having a car. I use it for most of my accessibility needs, including communication when I’m nonverbal.
Without it, I literally cannot function outside of my house, and can barely function in my house. I will be trapped at home even more than I am now if I don’t have a smartphone.
Let me reiterate, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LEAVE MY HOUSE UNTIL I GET A NEW SMARTPHONE. NOR WILL I BE ABLE TO CONTACT MY PRIMARY CAREGIVER. I have a doctor’s appointment coming up that I will not be able to get to.
I cannot afford to replace it. Most of my money has already gone toward my monthly bills, and the rest is being used for my basic survival expenses.

When You Least Expect It. Probably Late March
reblog for happiness to come for you in late march!
I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.
honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March
I think schools need to emphasize more that they aren’t teaching specific facts but rather skill sets
are you gonna remember your algebra formulas ten years from now? Probably not. Are you going to be able to use basic logic to solve problems? Well hopefully with some solid logic practice, such as math, yeah!
did Shakespeare really mean that all of the themes of dark and light in his plays indicated internal struggle and opposing forces? Who knows! Is the ability to critically analyze a piece of writing and see larger trends and symbols useful? Hell yes!
Schools should really be upfront with students that no, this isn’t going to be wholly applicable, but any amount of school will develop your self-discipline and overall versatility- and that’s a good thing
I made a quiz that tells you which character trope you fit best! There’s ten different results! Feel free to take it!
Reblog in the tags what you got!
do you think we as a society can finally acknowledge that “this thing didn’t have a name until recently” doesn’t necessarily mean “this thing did not exist until recently” or (worse) “this thing doesn’t exist at all”
Let’s also agree that “this thing did not have an English name until recently,” does not necessarily mean it was nameless.
So, who else here struggled to pick up the “go away, you’re not wanted” social cue as a kid, which has made them so overly cautious as an adult that they end up having cool conversations with cool people but don’t want to be too friendly in case they’re missing the cue, and so end up making those cool people think that you don’t want to be friends with them?
Because, like, this is the Number One Thing that has fucked me up as an adult and I am so grateful to my friends who didn’t stop talking to me while I slowly figured out that, yes, they did actually want to be friends.
Who told you you cold post my biography on the internet???
Ohhh nooooo!
It’s literally impossible for you to make yourself known to everyone you meet. Some people will just get the wrong impression about you and you have to let it go.
I was walking down the street with my brother on a hot day on our way into a bookstore and I said “I hate the sun. It’s too hot. Name ONE reason we need the sun. Literally I can’t think of a single reason why we can’t just figure out a way to block it”
And a guy turned and looked at me with the most dumbfounded and horrified expression Id seen since the last time someone looked at me like that (about a week before) and then turned to the girl with him and they both looked mistified in the worst way.
They really thought I don’t know what the sun’s for.
I could’ve told them I work in environmental science but I was having a conversation with my brother.
Those two people think that’s the day they overheard probably the stupidest thing any human being has ever loudly said in a bookstore.
That’s fine.
I know I know what the sun’s for.
