saw a comment that misspelled “kind gesture” as “kind jester” and am now imagining a beautiful world where we praise good samaritans by calling them kind jesters. good on you, you gentle fool. you’ve made the world a sweeter and sillier place.

So if you split open a giant peach and there’s a magic baby inside that you are then forced to raise do you still eat the peach or would that be too awkward

another heavy handed symbolism moment: my mom has a potted sunflower in the kitchen. because it is a sunflower, it keeps turning towards the light from the window. my mother keeps rotating it so it faces inward because she wants "to see its beautiful petals and have it really brighten up the space!" . the sunflower is visibly wilting .

you guys i'm starting to feel like i legitimately need like actual therapy because i have such a problem taking up space in other people's lives. like i am SO insecure about this, and it's been just within the last few months that i've stopped apologizing every time i cry and i still do it sometimes i just hate the idea of inconveniencing anybody and i mean anybody, my friends, my family, random strangers, hell i'd probably feel like a burden on my therapist if i had one and the only reason i feel like i can say this stuff on the internet is cause i doubt anyones gonna see or read it

a while ago i saw somebody wearing a shirt that said "see you later alligator" and that's all well and good but also it had a cartoon drawing of a crocodile on it and i could tell because crocodiles eyes are on top of their heads whereas alligator eyes are on the sides and i had to resist the very strong urge to start infodumping because i knew it would be received as criticism and it's not i just really like reptiles

we don't actually need gender markers on our licenses and whatnot. we could just. do away with those entirely. i do not believe this would lead disaster.

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

[ashintheairlikesnow]

When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.

and this shit's important. Media from the past tells us how people from the past acted and thought and behaved.

Plus, a lot of these media pieces were socially acceptable and/or progressive for their time. For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, while it contains a lot of words and ideas that are offensive now, was very progressive for its time. The book is a statement piece for how a young man who's grown up in a racist environment, with no words to explain himself other than racist and bigoted ones, decides that the whole system is shit and he's not going to follow those rules any more. So not reading or engaging with it because it uses the n-word a lot really misses the point.
