Depressed and Sexy

Hello, I’m Veronica, a 26 year old American (much to my chagrin) lesbian. I use she/her pronouns. I unironically adore black licorice, and I have a stubborn case of existential ennui. I’m an avid reader, a writer, a film enthusiast, an on and off again actress and singer, a D&D player and DM, a fashion lover, and an alternative/goth/indie/metal/punk music fan. I’m pro-choice, pro-LGBT, pro-Palestinian/anti-zionist, anti-racist, a socialist, etc…just left of liberal in general.

the way buffy the vampire slayer talks about sex is really fucked up. sometimes in a textually and thematically fascinating way. and sometimes just in a misogyny way.

[evilkaito]

i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.

it effects everything.

being trans is easier when youre white.

being gay is easier when youre white.

being disabled is easier when youre white.

being a woman is easier when youre white.

being autistic is easier when youre white.

oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.

you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.

never forget this.

three things:

1. it’s true

2. white people get pissed when i bring this up/wear this shirt

3. the comments to this thread melted my fucking eyeballs seriously why the fuck are y’all like this

[lady-hibiscus]

white people you don’t need to say you’re white when you reblog this btw. you don’t even need to mention it btw

[apologieslogan]

I wish more people understood this. if you are white, you are white before anything else. before EVERYTHING else. they see your skin color, and decide how much respect, decency, agency, rights, you “deserve”. you disliking this fact doesn’t make it less true.

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

[diggly]

[twoguysonebeartrap]

I’m thankful for Pillion for coming out on the heels of Fifty shades and Babygirl. “what if women…. Found power in letting men have power over them. And those men know what a clitoris is😳” what if submission was a double edged sword that could both make you feel seen and loved but also broke down your spirit and independence. what if your desiring submission was something that was taken advantage of by a man with greater power than you. what if you wanted him to. what if it’s the greatest sexual pleasure you’ve ever had. what if that had a profound lasting effect on you that cannot be measured as entirely positive or negative and the only thing that’s certain is that it’s changed you and how you navigate the world and relationships forever

HOW TO TURN OFF GOOGLE AI in GMAIL:

Open Gmail in your browser

Click on the Gear Icon ⚙️ in the upper right

In the General Tab, scroll down to "Smart Features" and UNCHECK THE BOX. It is about halfway down.

Then, right below that is Google Workspace smart features. Click on the "Manage Workspace Smart Features" and make sure both toggles are OFF

[ms-demeanor]

I just want to make sure that everyone is aware that even if you turn this off, Google is still scanning all of that information, and from 2004 to 2017 they did it to serve you ads instead of training AI.

Google cheerfully reads your emails and looks at your photos and watches your videos and it always has and always will.

Don't bother turning off Gemini, for the love of fuck please just stop using Google.

(Protonmail is a good free, privacy forward option. Don't bother with Hotmail or Outlook, Microsoft reads your emails too. Also email is inherently insecure don't trust sensitive information to email)

[gretchenantwort]

telling people to stop using google isn't gonna work that well when people already have google accounts and those accounts are the only ways to use certain things (like, oh i don't know, the largest video platform in the world).

quitting google services as much as possible is great but not everyone is gonna go that far unfortunately, so it's still useful to tell people how to stop certains kinds of privacy breaches that corps like google like to pull. how long does it take to change the apps and services you use for better alternatives? you have to figure out the best choices for yourself, and that takes time normies aren't willing to waste on something they barely care about. doing the extra effort that google saves them isn't what boomers, kids and "regular people" want.

because if someone is still gonna use google, at least tell them how to minimize the awful shit.

[ms-demeanor]

The problem is that Google *is* a privacy violation. There's no way to use Google products in a privacy-preserving way because that's not what they're for. They exist to extract information from you. You can't minimize the awful shit being produced by the awful shit factory.

Turning off any of these features *will not* keep Google from collecting and using your data because "we get to collect and use your data" is part of Google's ToS.

The reason I find posts like this frustrating is because you can go through the notes and see thousands of people saying "Google, why would you do this without asking for permission," "Google this is a privacy violation," "i just turned this off #privacy" - people are *completely unaware* of the fact that Docs and Gmail and Chrome are now and always have been ways for Google to take your data. "Harm reduction" doesn't work as an approach here because it gives casual users a false sense of security. They think if they opt out of model training their data isn't going to be collected for marketing. This is very incorrect and it's worth saying loudly and bluntly.

You should stop using Google as much as you possibly can because every free Google product exists *only* to sell your data to advertisers.

Some stuff is inescapable - you're correct, there's not a good alternative to YouTube. But there's a huge difference between "i have a Gmail account because I need one for my android device and to upload videos to a major video platform" and "I'm putting my entire life on google calendar, using Gmail for all my e-commerce logins, and use Chrome as my browser across devices."

Hell, there's a huge difference between using YouTube logged out and in the browser versus using it as an app on your phone.

Uninstall Maps! Turn off location! Use Firefox! Store photos locally!

Ceding privacy for convenience turns out to be inconvenient! Fork found in kitchen!

Anyway if anyone is interested in more serious degoogling here's a free pamphlet on that.

YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations

[passion-of-l0vers]

do you guys promise you will keep blogging with me about vampires forever ?

[wizardarchetypes]

i would but sadly i'm a human with a mortal life. if only there were a way for me to stay by your side, blogging forever...............

[passion-of-l0vers]

haha yeah that’d be cool……. unrelated but can you come a little closer with your neck exposed

[tpwrtrmnky]

I do sort of think the way drag queen characters are used in a lot of Queer Media is really OFF, in a similar way to how it would be OFF if your diverse cast of characters included Sproingo the Clown, who's a clown 100% of the time, always fully in character as the clown, and this is just not remarked upon by anyone, as if Clown is a distinct type of person and not a performance put on by the actual real person who's playing the role

And also Sproingo was treated as a preferable substitute for like, an actual minority demographic

[demilypyro]

[tpwrtrmnky]

I would like to take accountability for how my actions have harmed the clown community, Sproingo in particular. Your sad honks and deflating noises have been heard, and I promise to learn from how I've inadvertently thrown pies in your faces.

Why he light skinned?

[yourladyindank]

Because Martin Luther was white and German.

[fancynewaddress]

did…

did someone confuse Luther with Jesus omg

[lookwhathappenedtomack]

I suspect they confused him with Martin Luther King

[lets-talk-about-sects]

Oh no

[the-golden-ghost]

I mean, I get mixing them up based on names alone, but I’m concerned about the people who think Martin Luther King Jr. routinely wrote with a quill or dressed like a Renaissance man.

[twofacetoo]

At that point it’s your own damn fault for making that kind of mistake
