Possibly my spiciest take is that it's actually good to have people you respect and like that have some dogshit takes.

I think part of what is making young people lonelier, in discussing why they're increasingly isolated, is that they're so afraid of meeting someone who doesn't hold their same beliefs, and instead of being just core beliefs it is kinda ancillary shit.

It's actually okay to disagree even on social topics! Even on some political ones! But I mean, online you can start with "i love this mutual but they have a really bad/uninformed opinion about x media"

I know this is IMMEDIATELY going to be taken in bad faith, and yes babygirl, you are so right, I DO want you to go make best friends with both the KKK grand wizard AND your nearest nazi leader.

But seriously, as someone who has spent two decades doing community organization: finding ways to connect with different people is so so so important. There are people i follow here who ate 80% smart and their brain falls out of their head 20% of the time and that is GOOD FOR MY MENTAL ECOSYSTEM AND GOOD FOR LEARNING HOW TO BE A PERSON

LET'S ALL GO PISS ON THE POOR

depiction is not the same as glorification and I need people to get that 

[chaotic-carnifex]

depiction from the POV of a character who thinks it’s okay is still not glorification

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

once my therapist said I used very uncommon and creative phrases and adjectives and i just did not have the heart to tell that Old Lady From A Foreign Small Town that I was translating tumblr speech into our language. so I was like yeah... must be from the books I read...

like girl we have an army of scholars over at tumblr.com crafting our language it's not just little old me I swear

I once called a colleague's Borzoi a beautiful Gentle Alien, assuming the term had long since become commonplace outside of Tumblr, and discovered when he burst into delighted laughter at the term that it Had Not. I had to explain to him that I'm not a comedy genius, just repeating a niche meme.

[onemuseleft]

I was at work the other day and I said "First of all: how dare you" to my regional director, and I thought he was going to choke to death laughing. I thought for sure everyone had heard that one already.

I did not enlighten him. As far as he knows, I'm a witty genius and it's staying that way because you'd have to pay me real money to explain Tumblr to my boss's boss's boss's boss.

"You know what's harder than Getting Better? Living Like That" is just the thesis for my whole shit going on right now honestly. You know what's harder than doing my physical therapy? Hurting All The Time. You know what's harder than addressing my gender dysphoria? Hurting All The Time

[tlirsgender]

I'm Doing The Hard Thing and it's *easier* than how I was living before. If you make yourself feel better you will have more energy to spend on Getting Better. Nice inch nails - the upward spiral. Crawl out of your grave Thursday

I'm coming to realize how vital it is to keep a running list of shit you did in the past few weeks so that you can participate in small talk. It's literally not anything to do with them being interesting at all it's just having Something to say to give people even the barest thing to hold on to. It's so you don't get into the "what have you been up to" "nothing much what about you" "yeah same" trap. Literally just say something.

What have you been up to? Um well it's getting warmer so I've been having to brush my cat every day.

Like no it's not that interesting of a thing to say. But now they can respond to it. They could say, man yeah it really is heating up, I've been trying to think of things to do inside more often. Or, oh you have a cat? What's their name?

Like. It's Something. All you need is Something. And if you're like me and your brain immediately goes blank upon entering small talk then keeping a list will help you remember things to say.

One time when my dad was in the hospital they were testing his orientation to time and place and said "Okay and what year is it?" and he said "1995" (he had dementia). And the doctor and I unconsciously exchanged a Look because it was in fact uhhh 2024 😐 and dad saw that and so when the next doctor did the test a few hours later he said "uhhhh...nineteen...nintetyyyy.......seven...???" and I was like okay, well, that IS closer, you do have to give him that

[batbetbitbotbut]

#he still knew immediately who I was which was deeply funny to me bc I was 7-8 years old in 1997 #"yes that is my daughter who was apparently born in her 20s"

i need non-jews to realise that the recent rise in antisemitism isn’t strange or weird or unprecedented it’s because people just like you never unpacked the antisemitic biases in their mentality and society and continue not to attempt to. you need to listen to jews - read our books and engage with our issues and listen to us when we say things. i don’t care how much you hate nazis, you MUST be willing to deconstruct the antisemitism YOU HAVE INTERNALISED or sighing about how tragic the rise in antisemitism with no action whatsoever is is worse than nothing

[iamnmbr3]

#and no jews i know are surprised it’s happening. most of us expected it to happen and hoped we were wrong this time#lately i’ve been thinking a lot about that actually#the audacity to believe /my/ generation is the first to not experience full-throttle antisemitism#it feels so surreal that i ever believed Really Bad antisemitism was over#and there are jewish children who will never know the world i thought existed. so yeah please [points at original post]#antisemitism via @strangesmallbard

i think that if you have access to the vast epistemic resources of the first world and your reaction this world cup is to post in full view about how you didn't even know about x or y country until their game yesterday, you must be demonstrating a disinterest in world affairs disproportionate to your country's outsized impact on it. and that's embarrassing, not funny.

June 14, 2026 - Clashes broke out between protesters and police near the UN building in Geneva over the past several hours ahead of the G7 summit. The protests were taking place southwest of the city of Évian. During the unrest, protesters reportedly clashed with police, set a car on fire, and smashed the windows of a nearby bank. The head of the Geneva police described the demonstrations as being driven by anti-capitalist sentiment, stating that around 20,000 people took part, including approximately 600 so-called “Black Bloc” participants.

song of the summer!!

[sunnysideggs]

[ID: black on white text, a quote reading -- "I could not stop wasting time. It was crazy. I wanted to do something with my life, but instead I went to sleep, or sung in the shower, or sat and stared at the wall. I couldn't even tell you about anything that I saw. I didn't talk to anybody. The cicadas kept dying outside, and as I dreamed, my mouth grew thick and venomous with silence."

someone wore this to the cricket world cup final in india. the channels broadcasting turned away the cameras and played ads.

he walked in front of millions AND the prime minister of India.

through this person's incredible bravery, Indians who stand with Palestine, Indians who have to spend their days under a fascist regime, have a representation that does them justice.

our voices of dissent have been crushed through harrowing persecution.

in 1981, India issued a postage stamp with the Indian and Palestinian flags flying side by side, and the words "Solidarity with the Palestinian people." India was the first non-arab country to recognize the state of Palestine.

the country i have lived in for 18 years is a dignified member of the post-colonial world. its citizens have moral backbones. they are often murdered or imprisoned for having it.

[sscarletvenus]

did this in fucking ahemdabad too. legend.
