i get we're all wary of social media moderation teams but there literally is a trans pride animation on the like button. and the philly pride flag has existed for a long time now. and considering how scuffed the intersex flag animation looks i doubt the progress flag would work very well at all. i know things have been hard but the like button animations are simply not a part of the issue

The Philly Pride flag, explained

Why does Philly have its own Pride flag? Who made it? What do the colors mean? Everything you need to know about the "More colors more Pride

there are plenty of things to criticize staff for without going for stuff that literally isn't true

if i get a good nights sleep i can feel like a human being but it does mean missing out on an hour of phone time. so there's nuance.

the funniest thing about 'computer, enhance' is that it implies that everyone in those shows has their computer set to Piece Of Shit Blurry Image Mode by default for no fucking reason

something I haven't seen people mention about The Hunger Games trilogy and movies is how it genuinely revolutionized the Minecraft server scene

TLDR: after WWII, the US took nazi war criminals and set them up in sleeper cells all over Europe, “activating” them whenever the “threat of communism” was deemed too much, like in the Years of Lead

oh my god?

When people talk about all art being political (hard agree) they always talk about the content, themes, etc present within the art itself. Which obviously I get and obviously is a huge part of it. Of course. But I’m personally always struck by the politics surrounding the more metatextual elements of the art; that is, stuff like access to the tools needed for the creation of the art. I mean the literal materials of which an artpiece is made. This is a low-hanging-fruit example but I’m reminded of that Disney adult who tried to claim art isn’t inherently political by being like “I just drew a stick figure on a napkin, is that political? 🤣🤣” & while I think there are multiple different angles from which one could criticize this blatantly pathetic argument, I remember being really struck by like… the flagrant “waste” of implicitly throwaway resources that many parts of the world just literally don’t have and/or that carry with them deeply fraught histories of capitalist labor exploitation and destruction of natural resources. Like. Napkins?? The apolitical canvas that is paper napkins?

Incredibly unedited, uncollected thought but I'm watching a video essay that is bringing up the idea that nature=innocence and seems to be stating (through a reference?) that people want kids to be less digital and more connected with nature because being in nature means the children still have their innocence. This is the first time I have thought English major type analysis is annoying (<- has an English degree) Like sure if you are an author or reader, nature being representative of innocence is NOT a new concept but you CANNOT analyze the real, physical, material world that way. People want children to be more connected to nature because the current research indicates technology at a point can be detrimental while connection with nature is basically always beneficial. Additionally, people want children to be more connected to nature so they CARE about nature and will help protect it. Trying to make a "thematic" observation of the real world like that just IRKS me (<- has a child development degree and also cares a lot about 'nature')
