this was a great read. “Laziness Does Not Exist” by Devon Price

[valtsv]

if someone commented "mommy? sorry" on a picture or video of me i'd be like oh yeah you're about to be

[valtsv]

like idk i don't think i'm just being a killjoy about this one. commenting shit like that on random strangers' selfies or tiktoks or whatever doesn't feel like a compliment it's just uncomfortable to see and honestly comes across as really fetishizing. like 'mommy' IS a kink thing it's not something you can just call random people on the internet without their consent, it's the kind of thing that honestly could get you done for sexual harassment irl, and if that makes me a prude then shave my head and call me Brother James i guess.

This is my summary of Midnight Mass

Princess Peach was really just like “my castle is gonna be a weird museum with maybe some living quarters tucked away somewhere but mostly just magic portals to battlefields and slides” and everybody was like yeah you beautiful binch go ahead

[dajo42]

There’s a whole fucking room in the castle that’s just a long corridor with a portrait of bowser at the end. There’s another specifically designed to be a trick of perspective so you run towards a portrait of a goomba that looks like it’s right in front of you but it’s actually far away and huge. There’s a room filled with paintings and then a mirror wall so you can like, see the paintings reflected, I guess?

Princess Peach just has a bizarre series of magical art installations and that’s her house

[dajo42]

Like she LIVES there. That’s her HOUSE. She was like “hey toadsworth can we have a giant grandfather clock that if you jump at it it takes you to a magical world inside the clock but depending on what time you jump in the moving parts of the magic clock world will be faster or slower” and toadsworth was like “k lol” in her HOUSE

[dajo42]

What I’m saying is Princess Peach is a fucking legend

Years ago, my husband sent an email to Nintendo asking them a bunch of questions about Mario 64; stuff like “How do Bobombs reproduce?” and “Who does the second baby penguin belong to?” and that. I bring it up because one of the fifty-odd questions asked was “Why is there no furniture in Princess Peach’s castle?”

Nintendo of Europe answered every question, so I can canonically tell you that Princess Peach is so rich that she owns two castles, one for furniture and one for all her artwork.

(In case you’re wondering, the answers to the other two are “Through a mixture of gunpowder and love” and “No one. It is its own penguin.”)

Remember when Stephen Hawking was more worried about inequality under capitalism than artificial intelligence in a Reddit AMA and people started telling him to read an economics 101 book? Wild. Anyways rip Steve

“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality. “

being a girl and hitting puberty is so traumatic. you go from being a genderless little free thing to being hit with shaving and makeup and growing breasts and skincare and menstruation and suddenly being sexualised when like a few years ago you could take your shirt off to play in the stream and trade yugioh cards with the boys and come home covered in mud and not even think about it. and then you spend years hating being a girl and hating everything puberty did to you and wishing you could be a boy or be completely genderless again and it takes you Many years to come to terms with yourself Or you simply try to Lean In to everything and do makeup tutorials on YouTube and claim it’s for fun. like how can this be treated as normal

So on my posts about racism or transmisogyny, I often see tags that basically say “I don’t understand this but I’m going to reblog it anyway.” If you see a “social justice” type post that you want to reblog but don’t understand?

Don’t.

I know this goes against everything you’re used to hearing on this website, but listen. Reblogging posts you don’t understand is basically the equivalent of blindly repeating whatever you’re told. Even if you’re right, if you don’t understand why you’re right, you could be spouting utter bullshit and you wouldn’t even know it.

When I see “I don’t know what this means but I’m gonna reblog it anyway” it sends a lot of messages. It says that you care more about seeming right than being right. It says that you want good ally credit without any of the work of being a good ally. It says you’re on my side because I can make a post sound good, not because you actually agree with me on anything beyond the surface level.

So instead of just reblogging that post, save it for later. Like it, draft it, bookmark it, whatever. Go to the op’s blog and skim through a couple of pages, see if you can find some context. If the post is old, you could try asking for context in a non-condescending way. “Is this post referring to something specific?” is a lot better than, say, “Does this even happen? I’ve never heard of this.”

If that doesn’t help, do some more research. Google, search tumblr tags for recent posts on a subject, ask people who have EXPLICITLY stated they are willing to educate. Maybe in the process you’ll find more posts with a similar message to the original, but in easier to understand language. Maybe someone else already added a reply that adds useful information onto the op.

And maybe all of that takes a long time. Maybe, by the time you finally understand what the post was talking about, it’s months old and no longer relevant. Maybe you don’t even want to reblog it anymore. Who cares, fuck that post. You learned and grew as a person. That’s more important than looking good on a blog.

Old movies that suck and are awful are great, but new movies that suck and are awful are stupid. Hope this helps
