I got an acupressure mat at my PT's suggestion and I laid it on the floor in preparation to use it and Every Dog immediately went over and walked across it AS I DESPERATELY TRIED AND TO DISSAUDE THEM and then went YELP YELP YELP and then KEPT TRYING TO WALK ON IT AGAIN

just as I shooed Glimmer away Ella stomped over and then screamed. and tried to keep stomping and I had to lift her off

GODDAMNIT TREE TRUNKS

Ship finally shut them out of the room and now they're scratching at the door like "let us back in we want to step on the Bad Mat"

I feel so bad it’s so sad but I can’t stop laughing because it’s Exactly like watching NPCs in a video game walk into lava

[creekfiend]

LET US IN. WE WANT TO STEP ON THE 10,000 PRECISION SPIKES

[creekfiend]

it was like all of them just kept taking turns doing CONCEPTUALIZATION (EASY): FAILURE rolls over and over. it was so over the top farcical. we’d shoo one dog off the mat and comfort her and then when we turned around there’d be another dog standing on the mat whimpering

"You should create for yourself" and "it's okay to feel discouraged when creating your own original projects if no one interacts with them" are two sentences that should be able to co-exist with each other

[awakefor48hours]

On the one hand, you should kill that capitalist in your head that tells you to make art only for the enjoyment of other people. On the other hand, it's totally fine to be disappointed that you spent hours or even days on something that only got 4 notes. You can feel both ways.

we're going to a frankly weird and bizarre amount of effort to make sure that a teenager never sees a boob on the internet.

[puppygirllaika]

a lotta congressmen who grew up stealing their dads playboys and hustlers and sports illustrated swimsuit editions and talk about that experience like a fun, beloved, and fundamental part of growing up are now acting like the world will end because of onlyfans and adult social media accounts. starting to wonder if it has less to do with the naked women, and more to do with the fact that men aren't always the ones taking, framing, and publishing their pictures anymore.

beautiful like to reblog ratio on this

[drtanner]

That's because people are reblogging it every time they see it. Like I'm doing right now lmao

[getrealprim]

I know Christine Chandler harassment hasn’t gone anywhere in the 20 years it’s been happening, but does anyone feel like there’s been a major resurgence of it now with newgrounds like Zach Hadel and Edmund McMillen making popular shows and games and just casually sliding the biggest online harassment campaign into them like they’re jokes? I feel like every other reel I see on insta these days is the sonic fandom mocking her or someone’s short film that includes a fat weirdo in a striped shirt and gaudy necklace.

Can any of you people not be fucking insane losers for fifteen seconds and recognize what you’re condoning?

[fluffytransfemkittykatwerewitch]

what'd zach hadel do??

i dont keep up with his work, but one of my partners likes him so i wanna know more about it. also i dont know who the mentioned harrassed person is so that would be helpful too. prev its ok if you dont know but im assuming atleast one moot will

[getrealprim]

Christine Chandler is an autistic trans woman who has been harassed for 20 years and pushed to extreme circumstances by people who began mocking her over her special interests.

Zach Hadel, as well as a vast majority of anyone who has made a name for themselves on Newgrounds, has perpetuated this harassment and continues to mock her and misgender her in his online content, including OneyPlays with Chris O’Neil and whatever other fucking ghouls he keeps on the channel at any given moment.

And I’ll argue that’s all you really need to know. I’m not going to continue the retelling of her life. A trans woman made the internet’s biggest target, and the creator of Smiling Friends, a cis man, mocking and misgendering her.

[princesspineberry]

And this has been going on for nearly twenty years.

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

[sweetschizo-deactivated20190808]

Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.

[silvermoon424]

Bro absolutely COOKED with this.

EDIT: Y'all OOP is not whitewashing and brushing past the crimes of the fucking Taliban, they're simply pointing out that unlike the American elite- who have never suffered a day in their lives- terrorists like the Taliban usually go through some radicalizing event caused by poor life circumstances. That absolutely does not excuse or condone the horrible things they do, of course.

Also, Somali pirates and the Taliban were explicitly mentioned because this comment is in response to a couple of their former hostages saying said groups supplied them with soap and toothpaste, which the US government refuses to give to migrants. You can stop misinterpreting and derailing this post now, thanks.

[clytemnestraaa]

i'm going to say something insane. i think the overall pronounced fandom cultural slide away from complex plotty violent work and towards kidfic and coffee shops AUs and cozy domestic romcoms is a symptom of fascism.

[clytemnestraaa]

okay actually this is a great phrase for it

[thelibrarybat]

Reblogging this for the term "neopastoralism", because I think that's fantastic.

Coffee shop AUs are, like... fine. They're not my thing, but they're hardly going to end the world. We don't need to have a moral panic about people enjoying coffee shop AUs. I'm also not about to come for anyone seeking escapism in the current hellscape.

However, I do think it's interesting to examine the tendency within these AUs to project a sort of idyll onto the coffee shop: here is a whimsical place where you can spend time with your friends and potentially meet your true love; here is a world where the greatest dilemma you may face is choosing the right coffee syrup for a new beverage or sneaking your number onto that to-go cup without being obvious.

The fantasy of the coffee shop AU is divorced almost entirely from the reality of an actual coffee shop. There are no abusive, creepy customers or bosses; there is no mention of the barista's wages; we don't see the dishwasher sweating at their station, the cashiers' aching feet; the person whose job it is to clean the (customer-only?) toilets. These topics are Political and Depressing and Must Be Avoided, because Political and Depressing things are antithetical to this kind of escapism.

The coffee shop AU exists, not in a world without capitalism (because this is a setting where commerce is actively happening) but in a world where capitalism has no teeth: a world where capitalism somehow works. In order to be convinced and soothed by this fantasy, you must suspend your disbelief and avert your eyes. You must filter the coffee shop through a neopastoralist lens.

To me, there's something very uncanny about it.

[athingofvikings]

I've made this observation before, but there's a distinct and strong correlation between "wanting simplistic, saccharine, and morally binary media" and "authoritarianism". It's not a 1 to 1, which is where a lot of people seem to misunderstand things; it's not "If you like fluff, you're a jackbooted authoritarian." Very much not. This is a pattern that grows up out of thousands--hundreds of thousands--of individual interactions, out of culture, out of a shift of perspectives on what is seen as the norm and what is seen as outrageous.

Individual people liking cutesy fluff? Not a problem. Thousands of people insisting that fluff is the only acceptable option and if you dare make them think and consider, you're the problem?

That's a Problem.

It's the shifting of norms in culture, and fandom is not an isolated bubble--it's a representative of larger trends. And the trend right now in our larger culture, especially in America, is authoritarianism. Authoritarianism that has gone past "creeping" and is now "prancing", "dancing", "galloping", or dare I say goosestepping. Of course that's going to have an impact on the cultural scenes, including fandom!

And there's a correlation in societies that want saccharine fluff and their own authoritarianism. I can point to numerous examples--Victorian England with the censored stories for children. The USSR with an entire kitschy style of stories and art. The USA before the rise of Trump with Thomas Kinkaid's art. And that's just scratching the surface.

The main point in bringing this up is to be aware of the trend, not to take it as a personal attack for enjoying fluffy stories.

Certified Sex Ed Post!

[hellish-undeath]

Certified disability post too! you don’t know what physical effect you’re causing someone if you’re touching them. you could apply pressure to their body in a bad space, could flare up their skin, nerves, or other chronic issue, or they could have just been out of surgery and you’re touching a newly healing area.

[twinky-loserboy]

also! some people have sensory issues!! That fits into disability technically but i wanted to be specific :3

"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.

[yesthattoo]

Sometimes "they" are us who got an entire graduate degree for the explicit purpose of saying this stuff where academics might take it seriously.
