why is being a fan of literally anything so exhausting? its impossible to interact with other fans because theyre all so exhausting.

I think there's a popular perception that "more radical" automatically equals "better" and "less radical" automatically equals "worse"

And a tendency to base one's viewpoints not on any actual values or material outcomes (these will still be invoked as justification, though not consistently), but on status. Being one of the cool kids

And that combination leads people with that perception to 1. be much more amicable towards people with completely opposite views to their own, than towards people with similar but more moderate views than their own, and 2. always try to be the Most Radical person in the room while accusing everyone else in the room of being Less Radical and therefore More Worse

Which is terrible both as a way of enacting actual political change and as a way of getting a friend group that is not technically a cult

Wildfires Blaze Through Pacific Northwest Tribal Lands

Wildfires blaze through Pacific Northwest tribal lands - ICT

It’s hot and dry across the region, making for tinderbox conditions.

Firefighters, pilots and equipment operators are mobilized across much of Indian Country in Washington and Oregon, to rein in wildfires that have endangered many tribal communities.

Amidst the powwow season and canoe journey season festivities, multiple tribes are currently being impacted by wildfires, and homes, livestock, pets, and valuables are in danger of being lost.

As wildfires burn through Native nations in Oregon and Washington, communities across both states have banded together to set up sites to do

Above is an article describing what tribes are currently impacted. There is also a lot of information for WA/OR locals on where to drop off physical donations contained within it. If you are unsure of the current status of drop-off locations, check the official website(s) or Facebook profile(s) of the tribe(s) you wish to donate to.

My toxic fandom take is that I think that it's awful how much we can talk to creators and get answers from them word of god style. We should be out here in a godless place rooting for scraps of lore in the media like truffle pigs out in the fields

i think us lesbians and gays really got fucked over the most by our own community at the end of the day because homosexuality is inherently transphobic to the TQ+ by virtue of exclusive same-sex attraction, they're using conversion therapy rhetoric in the name of "inclusivity" to shame us into accepting the opposite sex in our dating pools, and the general public is nodding their heads because they're too ignorant or scared of pushing back against classic homophobia. like somehow this has circled back to us dealing with this bs but it's even worse now because we get attacked within our OWN community. the religious bigots were enough actually but thanks

seeing the hate you guys get from TiMs was part of what peaked me, it was literally just "you haven't tried the right dick yet" coated in "progressive" language. A lot of them are really aggressive about it too and their fetishization of lesbianism is so blatant. Also I saw too many women convince themselves they were gay men because they really liked yaoi fanfiction.

Out of control Edwardian youths refuse to clap at production of Peter Pan, force distraught J.M Barrie to pull out rarely seen "Tinkerbell Fucking Dies" ending

[julianova44]

You probably know this but shitpost ruining fun fact for anybody who doesn’t:

When the play first was performed, JM Barrie et al were so concerned this might happen that they instructed the orchestra to drop their instruments and clap at this point, just in case

I did not know this and I'm grateful for being informed

Peter Pan edited by Anne Hiebert Alton (2011)

(sorry to interrupt joke post but) this is true!

Children not clapping did happen too, (and some were even expected to have hissed, which was later written into the 1928 playscript and 1911 novel). But my all time favourite anecdote about it is from Pauline Chase (who played Peter)'s intro to Peter Pan's Post Bag 1909:

Children love to clap their hands at the play because then they feel that they are really part of it, and you can see them holding their hands poised ready to seize an opportunity. Their great chance is when I ask them to clap their hands if they believe in fairies, and so save Tink's life. But they are very wrathful if any one claps who has the reputation of being a cynic, and once there was quite an uproar in the front row of the dress circle because of a girl who clapped. Those about her pulled down her arms angrily. "How dare you clap," they cried, "when you know you don't believe in fairies!" There was one dreadfully hard-hearted little boy who came to the theatre not to clap. That was his object for coming, and he came round "behind" to tell me so in the middle of the play. His teeth were firm set. "I won't clap," he said doggedly; "I'm not going to clap." And when the time came he didn't clap; above the clapping of all the others I could hear him shouting from a box, "Peter, I'm not clapping."

(Tink was revived each time anyway)

and my take today is that framing misogynistic writing as an "inability to write female characters" subconsciously takes away most of the blame, implying that women are an alien creature compared to men and that it is no fault of the writer because it's out of their skill set. it's not an inability, not a lack of expertise, it's the simple refusal to consider women as individual people and give them the same depth and grace that comes easily to the writer when they write male characters. it's not that christopher nolan, stephen king, james cameron (and frankly anyone using the argument, both professional and hobbyist; yes, that includes fanfic writers) etc can't write women, it's that they just won't. at that point in time it is a conscious decision driven by the laziness to unpack their misogynistic biases, and should be addressed as such

I'll NEVER understand how religious people will get mad at atheists and former followers of their religion for pointing out and resenting the huge flaws in their belief system. On TikTok, if I comment about my horrible experience with islam and the hijab, without missing a beat, every single time some idiot will come and say 'but thats not all muslims' or 'youre making islam look bad!' or 'you still have to respect our religion!'

None of this makes sense to me because muslims and christians are always saying shit about how they can't respect the LGBTQ+ community because it goes against their beliefs. Well your bullshit religion goes against my beliefs so fuck off, I don't owe you any respect.
