Idk What I'm Doing

Hi, I'm Spacey. Music is my one true love of this world and I'm gayer than expected, have a nice day.

[aracle]

i rarely talk about kpop on here, but this pride month, maybe some people who see this post can give a stream to some kpop/kpop-adjacent groups that have queer members. groups like:

justb

member bain chose to come out as gay last year with full support of his group members and record label, a historic moment for an active kpop idol.

justb had my favorite release in all of kpop last year. if you like EDM, hyperpop, rage, and that nostalgic late-2000s-early-2010s sound, give their EP "snow angel" a listen.

XLOV

xlov is a "genderless" kpop group with members who all use any pronouns and style themselves regardless of the gender binary.

their latest EP, "i, god" is a tribute to ballroom culture, and the members took classes to perfect the voguing choreography throughout the title track, "serve."

XG

member cocona chose to come out as transmasculine non-binary last year, and made the announcement while proudly showing off fresh top surgery scars!

in response, the group changed the meaning of their abbreviated name from "extraordinary girls" to "extraordinary genes" and now refers to themselves as an "artist group" rather than a "girl group." their latest release, "hypnotize" off their album "the core" is a disco banger!

lots of people like to drag kpop for "queerbaiting" fanservice, but there are some actual queer idols who deserve support this pride month!

touch grass bingo!

text and an extended explanation and some relevant links below the cut

The idea of this is you can brag online for clout for doing simple little nice things. So, post pics as you complete it and link back to this post!

And please save the pic and fill yours out by crossing off squares as you go, but

Or some might feel dox-y (maybe the clouds are real specific today and will reveal where you live) so you can describe it (or lie, but do it legit for you).

Have fun!

find a flower (preferably go looking for one you don't know about now, but any flower works)

listen to birds (outside your window if you want, or go looking)

text an irl friend (anything you want)

make a zine (simple is good!) instruction link

read a book (if you don't own one, try the library. or read something else. like a manual or a bill, i dunno)

put hands in dirt (pot plant is fine, or go outside)

make food (fried egg counts, toast counts, or make something fancy)

go to bed on time (you define "on time")

photo of an animal (your pet, a bird outside, a bug, whatever)

take a silly photo (very up for interpretation)

listen to local radio (if you don't know them, google! there's a lot that stream online now)

do some stretches (follow your vibes, don't hurt yourself)

touch grass (literally)

identify clouds (i mean whatever's outside rn, so if it's clear today do this tomorrow!) there are better websites than this but it works

go for a walk (or however you ambulate, for as long or short as you like)

wash your hands for the full 30 seconds (here's a guide for how to if you haven't refreshed lately)

name three good things (very up to interpretation)

open a window (unless that's like dangerous for you rn)

draw a picture (pen/pencil on paper! i love drawing on my computer too but do it irl for this one)

brush your teeth for the full 2 min without looking at a screen

touch a tree (hug a tree if you're feeling it)

try a new drink (can be a supermarket run, or just make water at a specific temp or drink milk out of a bowl to mix it up)

sing a song (could learn a new song, sing along with a song, or just sing happy birthday to no one rn)

laugh til it's real (can be assisted by a show that makes you laugh if this is hard)

drink outside (thinking a usual drink, morning coffee or tea, glass of wine after dinner, but have it outside!)

why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

[spacefinch]

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

[chatblancofficial]

It’ll be almost impossible to find this post unless it wanders across your dash.

[huewrite]

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

[gossamermouse]

this is not a place of honor

[jackviator]

[dinosaurana]

Oh hey post of Ozymandius, good to see you again standing on your feet in a desert where no one remembers you

[spaceytears]

Seeing people you know go "nobody's immune to propaganda" and then falling for the social media manipulation of pattie gonia and her rivisionist perspective on the legal trouble she's in is. Wild.

[johnbottoms]

rmbr when they all went to ronan’s childhood home and gansey was like “i rmbr when u used to smell like this” to him  like that was a regular thing to say 

[perfect-jerry-blossom]

i genuinely can't fucking deal with the larger internet anymore holy shit what the fuck are you people TALKING about. i am at my limit with this stupid bullshit. who the fuck cares if a man is hired to draw medical diagrams for young girls jesus christ we're pearl clutching about medical illustrations now? next you're gonna tell me male pediatricians shouldn't advise parents on their kids' vulva issues? male surgeons shouldn't be in the room when performing a procedure where a woman's breasts or vulva might be exposed? male researchers shouldn't conduct gynecological medical research? sure. better for men to live in ignorance and NEVER ally themselves with us to expand access to sexual education and reproductive healthcare i fucking guess. Twenty thousand likes. i hate it here KILL ME

[perfect-jerry-blossom]

THIS is the post that got me my first ever anon hate. i'd like to thank the academy tbh

also not related but can ppl on this post being like "yeah STOP being mean to men!!" pls stop cuz that's not the point of what i was saying 💀 i'm not mad bc someone was mean to a man i'm mad bc feminism is being hijacked by bioessentialist conservative Christian moralist bullshit where the goal seems to be the complete and total segregation of women from men instead of like, the material improvement of women's lives. i don't care if some intsta commenter is mean to men i care that feminism is culturally turning into Nu Conservatism

[grungekitty-77]

It's happening again, so just to remind everyone:

TUMBLR ADS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO AUTO-PLAY AUDIO! THAT IS A BUG AND YOU SHOULD REPORT IT!

"This ad is auto-playing audio" is literally on the drop down menu for reporting an ad. Tumblr isn't trying to implement this! Don't protest this "new policy", cause it's not one.

Report the broken ads.

Thank you.

[jackson-imbecille]

They are not supposed to automatically redirect you without you clicking them, they are not supposed to cause a pop-up, they are not supposed to freeze your screen.

This is all bugs or malicious advertising which is also against tumblers ad policy. You should report all ads which do this.

Let’s get rid of those horrible monopoly ads, together.

[natnormalatall]

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

[grungekitty-77]

Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.

It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.

Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.

Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.

Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)

Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!

You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!

If you want it in a simple phrase:

You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.

[grungekitty-77]

Fun fact, that was literally what inspired me to make this post!

WE ARE EACH OUR OWN DEVIL, AND WE MAKE THIS WORLD OUR HELL; THE DEVIL IN CINEMA :

CONSTANTINE  (2005) THE  PROPHECY  (1995) BEDAZZLED (2000) GHOST RIDER (2007) THE LEGEND (1985) THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE (1997)

[dingdongyouarewrong]

just so you know i know this dynamic is toxic and i'm not romanticizing it :/ i'm actually sexualizing it

[max1461]

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

[word-for-today]

Word for today: wisdom of repugnance

The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad

[obscenicon-deactivated20231123]

this is probably the funniest example of a tumblr user simply not reading the post theyre reblogging at all

[steelblue8]

Reblog if you are a freak who is justifying their gross actions

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

reblog if you love ao3 exactly how it is and you don’t want it to “update” or change in any way♡

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

ao3 is not changing anything by the way! some people just want them to change for some reason. my guess is that these people just don't understand how the site works and refuse to actually learn how it works, so they blame the site because it's easier for them that way.

Lovely to see we have spaces where you can gain access to so much literature!

[theconcealedweapon]

[maarvarq]

Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.

[theconcealedweapon]

Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.

[tiny-space-whale]

No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.
