Oh hi! I'm here

I'm here just looking at some stuff on the internet and reblogging some that I like :) PS: everything here is queued.

Always blows my mind when a show ends and people are like, "oh, I'm going to miss these characters! I'm going to miss this fandom! I'm so sad it's over!"

The characters didn't go anywhere and now you get to enjoy them fully, with the entire context and understanding of their story! A show ending means it's time to get even more unhinged about The Character!

There are still people making art and fics for Kirk and Spock every single day. You don't have to throw your modern Blorbo in the trash the moment their final episode airs, you dork. Get out there and make transformative art about it, or share headcanons, or whatever else you were already having fun doing.

Please, dear gods, keep doing shit that's fun even if it isn't the trending hot topic. You need some whimsy as armor against this hell world.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

[carbomcoco]

they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

[aphony-cree]

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

“People should pass a test before being allowed to have kids.” “Isn’t it scary how white people have this inborn capacity for evil?” “I’ll never pass because males and females have different skull shapes.” “Autistic people have a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.” “I don’t want AMABs in my space because they’re dangerous.” “You shouldn’t have access to hormones if you dress like THAT.” “Anyone who does something that awful isn’t human.” “Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

This is eugenics. This is phrenology. THIS IS NAZI SHIT, YOU ARE A LEFTIST BUYING INTO NAZI SHIT. YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO NAZI SHIT.

also this is part of a disturbing but sadly not uncommon attitude that progress = women (specifically women most of the time) showing more skin. because not showing skin is "following irrational religious modesty mandates" like the man on twitter says

somehow being progressive and secular automatically means putting women's bodies on display (although of course these people would shame women showing that much skin because they chose to). gee, I wonder why...

(to be clear, religious concealing clothing should also be respected as long as it's voluntary!)

there's this sort of default assumption online that you're meant to have watched the latest defunctland, hbomberguy or dan olson video in a manner i'd compare to "catch the game last night?"

IT'S TRUE and it makes it really easy to explain the humors (and other Shakespearean passages having to do with personality being determined by bodily composition) to students!!

Ya know Zosia saying the first month of the Joining was very peaceful is interesting considering we are fully aware that The Joining started with a rat biting a woman’s finger (violent and painful) and then multiple counts of nonconsensual kissing. The Joining was never peaceful. It started with physical assault, continued onto sexual assault, and then turned in a mass death event. But the hive doesn’t acknowledge those first counts of violence. They only acknowledge the mass death. Which they say. Was necessary to bring on the best thing to ever happen to the human race so as long as the deaths were mourned it’s fine. The hive is extremely conflict averse but they never seen to acknowledge the actual damage they cause in their quest for peace.

[xamlovuathoi]

hearing it being put like this kinda reminds me of how people defend colonization and massacre of indigenous people as sth tragic but has to happened because of the civilization that were brought to them

[kendrysaneela]

Considering that the way Manousos talks to the hive I think he also views them as colonizers so this is defo a good metaphor

No, cause this is funnier and always needs to be reblogged with the full context.

On that note, I don’t think we should ever shame the youth for not knowing things. However, there is a serious problem with how self-congratulatory the lack of research before making an observation is these days.

i'd like to take this opportunity to rec a great book if anyone wants to learn more!

I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.
