I find myself getting less and less ambitious the older I get.

When I was graduating high school I wanted to do great things and be super famous and change the world.  Now I just want to hang out and not bother anybody.

“Their colours come from their diet, lichen and mosses rich in minerals that give the shells these stunning colours. They differ according to the particular mix of plants that each snail has been eating.” - David Attenborough

Well? Is it?

I don’t know. Nobody knows. Not on here or on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram or anywhere. He does not appear to have any social media.

[neil-gaiman]

And, for the curious:

Twitter I'm @Neilhimself

Facebook I'm @NeilGaiman

Instagram I'm @Neilhimself

All with links.

[theequeerstrian]

[neil-gaiman]

I'm obviously not on Tumblr. I do not appear to have any social media.

I hate it whenever a psychological or sociological term goes viral and people overuse and decontextualise it to the extent it has no meaning in six months. like. that term was necessary and now its wrung dry. we no longer have the tools to discuss the phenomenon that term was describing because its lost all credibility. who can take "gaslighting" seriously anymore? this shit is deliberate and borderline malicious.

[bauliya]

can i just state that this isn't academic gatekeeping, this is specifically about how academic terms used by victims and marginalised people in and OUT of academia to describe their experiences are appropriated and meme-ified as a way to mock them and then that mockery becomes mainstream and the term loses all meaning

I hate how every social media saw tiktok being successful and is now desperately trying to get a slice of that success by adding a short videos infinite scroll function like YouTube has the “shorts” section now Instagram added reels months ago and even Pinterest now automatically takes you to a “watch” section with short videos and you have to manually switch back to the normal version every time you open the app. What if we made social medias to be different from one another instead of constantly adding new features that have nothing to do with the core concept of the website but are only there to frenetically chase the high of whatever’s popular at the moment. What if we did that.

kind of obsessed with the new trend of sites like buzzfeed using terms like “lying” and “fooling you” regarding storylines/couples/film techniques in movies and tv. wandavision is gaslighting you into thinking superheroes are real! this actor had a stunt double do this particular stunt, he TRICKED you! these actors LIED and made you think that they’re together when ACTUALLY they’re married to other people!

[helloitsbees]

i don’t know how to tell you this buzzfeed but sometimes fictional stories are fictional

[helloitsbees]

ok no i have more to say about this

it’s that fuckin CinemaSins instinct to go “haha, i know more than the filmmakers! rose from titanic wasn’t a real person, DING that’s a sin! the blood and guts in the saw movies is actually corn syrup, DING that’s a sin! they weren’t smart enough to FOOL ME, which is the point of movies! to fool and trick the audience! ding!”

and that then feeds into the instinct from filmmakers to erase immersion from narrative storytelling, the same reasoning behind the joss whedon bullshit trend of characters pointing out how their own stories don’t make sense in the hope of preempting their own audience, wrecking their own suspension of disbelief out of the fear that the audience will, the “why are we singing?” moment in musicals, the “they can fly now?” moment in Star Wars, the immediate scramble to explain and explain until you’re not left with a story, you’re left with a Wikipedia summary. and it fucking sucks.

[helloitsbees]

tldr it’s okay to watch movies and let yourself believe, for 1 hour 55 minutes, that superheroes are real, or that a monster might destroy a fictional city. you’re allowed to buy the chemistry between two characters without thinking “these two people would never get along in real life”. not everything has to have a bulletproof plot with 10000% realism. it’s okay to let fiction be fictional without feeling tricked or fooled by it.

[helloitsbees]

YES! say THIS!!
