Why not change it all up?

[stunnedsubtitle]

You know what? I'm actually tired of my old Nonenosome name and such so figured I'd just change it all up.

[stunnedsubtitle]

Never mind.

Just thinking about the @guardian Tumblr. Untouched since 2019, like the tomb of the pharaohs. Did the person with the password leave? Did the person at the Guardian who knew that the Guardian had a Tumblr get sent off on a journalistic mission from which they never returned? In years to come will people on Tumblr examine the @Guardian site to try and reconstruct how mainstream media outlets existed on social media in the trump years?

Something that gets lost in the contemporary pressure to have an iron-clad identity is the subversive power of saying "it's none of your business."

People complaining that the checks ruining the formatting of the website have forgotten their roots! This is the shitty formatting website and always has been

In retrospect this is almost definitely the reason why putting your response in the tags is so common and popular

This is a female "he/they". I'm so exhausted by seeing these people become convinced that they're "bad at being a girl" when they're literally female.

Really fucking weird how the internet has made it a thing to make others feel bad for having a good relationship with their parents. Y’all need therapy and I mean that genuinely

[kitsnicket]

A random person on social media posting about how much they love their mom or dad is not responsible for how your mom or dad treated you. The comment section on their posts is not your personal trauma dumping ground. I’m sorry all that happened to you but talk to a professional

This resentment toward people with good families or happy childhoods seems like an extension of the “all privilege is evil” way of thinking.

Because...yeah, it is a privilege to have good parents and to come from a stable and loving household.  It’s a huge privilege, probably even more so than race or gender or any of the other identity-markers that usually get talked about.

But being privileged is not inherently a bad thing.  It’s actually a good thing.  It’s not a moral failing, it’s not an error that needs correcting, and it’s certainly not something people should avoid talking about or feel ashamed of. 

It’s unfair that some people don’t get this benefit, just as it’s unfair that some people don’t get the benefit of good education or good healthcare, but the focus should always be on improving things for those people rather than shaming the people who have had their basic human needs met.

I think there’s this tendency to see life as a zero sum game where happy people with good things are in some way “hoarding” happiness and good things.  In this worldview, happiness itself becomes the enemy, and someone who’s had a good life or advantages of any kind becomes part of the oppressive upper class who needs to be taken down a peg, thus when they see people posting on Facebook about how much they love their parents they feel this sense of moral obligation to remind them that shitty parents exist and to frame their happiness as an aberration or an injustice.

Yes, and, this?  This is actually what an “if you liked that, maybe you’ll like this!” algorithm is trying to replicate, in its own clumsy way.  The basic idea is that, if you like Thing X, then you may like other things that people who liked Thing X also liked.  

Only the algorithm has no actual reasoning ability, or understanding of what it’s doing--it’s just wandering around bumping into things, looking for patterns that sorta match.  Like a sack of ferrets tracking a scent trail through a department store, and the store is trying to tell you that the ferrets are highly skilled personal shoppers.

AO3, on the other hand, is set up so that you can find out directly from other human beings who like Thing X, what else they liked.  It probably wouldn’t work in a department store--hence the sack-of-ferrets system--but fandom is a gift economy, so it does.

A further variant on this is to see who bookmarked the stories you love, and investigate their bookmarks. If they seem reliably appealing to you and they're being actively updated, you can also periodically check in on their bookmarks to see what's new.

that landlord you just posted about killing? hes actually autistic and left-leaning. and if he saw what you said itd make him very nervous. think twice, be nice

[abugnamedjune]

You are going to look so ignorant when you meet my good friend Hasan Piker who is actually using the money for a good cause like donating to democrat candidates for congress, etc

~ This isn't "fud" talk. A weapon that was carried on Normandy and Iwo Jima is in no way obsolete. You can buy a Tesla or you can buy a 1965 Chevy Malibu. One is sleeker, some might argue (not me) sexier and far more efficient. The other, well it just speaks for itself. Older doesn't mean obsolete, just that it's lasted the ages ~
