i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point
you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling
Why are people not woke anymore?
Can someone please explain how we went from the 2020 “woke” movement to this wave of conservatism in 2025? Because honestly, the shift makes no sense to me. Just five years ago, it felt like we were making meaningful progress. People were becoming more empathetic, open-minded, and unafraid to express their identities. Discrimination was actively called out and condemned.
This shift wasn’t just visible online; you could see the change happening in real life. For example, in my graduating class, around 15 students came out in 2020, and they faced no backlash whatsoever. Acceptance became an expectation rather than a mere encouragement, as discrimination was simply not tolerated. Nowadays, around 10 of those 15 individuals deny that they ever came out, brushing it off as a joke and embracing more conservative ideals—like aspiring to have the “perfect” traditional family. There’s also the noticeable shift in feminist discourse. In 2020, it felt like nearly every young woman identified as a feminist. Now, however, we’re witnessing a tendency in young girls pursuing a "tradwife" future and anti-intellectual trends such as "girl math," where the underlying joke is that women are inherently less intelligent than men.
I genuinely don’t understand how we’ve regressed so drastically. It’s not just the past five years that feel lost—it’s like thirty years of progress have been undone. An ad promoting eugenics shouldn’t even be part of public discourse, let alone broadcasted. People who endorse such ideas shouldn’t even have a career. Don't even get me started on those podcasts where men are proudly sexist and just awful human beings. It´s simply baffling to me how someone can be so open with their hatred and not have any repercussions whatsoever.
What’s most unsettling is how quickly people, especially younger generations, have adapted to this shift. Please help me understand what social phenomenon has caused corrupt and harmful ideas to become normalized once again. They’re so shameless with their hatred, unapologetic about the harm they cause, proudly preaching cruelty without a hint of remorse.
Americans really are a joke because only they would assume that a post asking about the ideology shift of younger generations was about attacking certain political parties. I was asking about the social phenomenon, the question was actually meant for people who have some understanding of sociology or humanities, maybe it was my fault for being so naive about the internet, but whatever. Btw i did find an answer last month in a college course i took, so thanks ig?
Whenever i read your replies i just pictured that one meme of i think you guys might be thinking about yourselves too much. Not everything is about you, and what is true in your country may not be true in other countries. And to the people who just went straight to attacking me instead of actually staying on topic, not a single one of you correctly assumed the background behind my questioning, so there is another thing you wrongly assumed.
do you ever just get the urge to post in a way that immediately makes you realize how badly you need a journal
Tumblr is just a weirdly formatted journal

I just logged in after a month and found lots of replies I won't read. I don't really know how to use Tumblr and had to Google what "op" means. This is my third post, please don't think I created this account to argue or debate. A blog is simply an online place for thoughts or experiences. For me, this is just a public notes app.

Symbolic Tattoos
There’s a trend among those who struggle with chronic illnesses to tattoo a representation of their battles, kind of like an honor badge acknowledging their daily burdens, but I’ve never really considered hypothyroidism as a battle deserving of symbolic representation. If you aren't familiar with what I'm talking about, the most well-known example is the semicolon tattoo, which symbolizes the decision of people with depression to continue their story instead of ending it. When I was 15 and my depression hit rock bottom, I promised myself I would get it tattooed if my mental health ever improved. Back then, I felt as if I hadn’t earned the meaning it represents because I doubted my ability to fight my mental disorders. I thought of it as cheating—like claiming the prize of a race im yet to run. Now, four years later, I’m in a much better place regarding my mental health, and although I still believe the semicolon carries a beautiful message, I never fully connected with it and no longer want to get one. For some context, I have central hypothyroidism, which has caused numerous health issues. I detest my condition because, despite maintaining healthier habits than most, my disease has left me with a body that feels mediocre at best, and the effort I put into my mental and physical well-being only yields a fraction of what someone with a healthy metabolism would experience. It really is the root of all my struggles. I won’t go into every detail of my medical history, but let me give an example: Imagine a younger me—healthy, with loving, financially stable parents, straight A’s, and friends. One day, I woke up to a brain deprived of crucial chemicals. This essentially led to a life filled with mental disorders. I fought through depression and won, only to realize that what once felt like my biggest battle was just a side effect of hypothyroidism. I don’t often look back on the past; I mainly see my depressed self as a completely different person, a past life that no longer defines me. But your post reminded me of the wish I once had. If I were more sentimental, maybe I’d feel like I owed my younger self that tattoo. I don’t owe anything to that person, and even if I did, I don’t believe any part of me—past or present—would feel deserving of carrying a semicolon. That wish, which I never truly wanted, is long gone. A new desire has taken its place—something I actually feel connected to and would be proud to carry. On my next birthday, I'd like to have a butterfly tattooed somewhere on my body. Feel free to take the credit for it, as it is your post that I'll be explaining when anyone asks if there is a deeper meaning behind my tattoo.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while and now I have my thoughts in order enough to make a coherent post!! anyway, I think we should us
