update genuinely so doodoo ass. if you reblog from ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL POST, this includes reblogs without additions, INCLUDING SELF-REBLOGS, IT DOESN'T ADD TO THE TOTAL REBLOG COUNT. FOR SOME REASON. AND YOU CAN'T EVEN VIEW THE ONES WITH TAGS UNDER THE REBLOG TAB ANYMORE WHICH IS LIKE HALF THE FUN OF TUMBLR!!!!

literally the only way to see the true reblog count atm is loading all reblogs in the reblog graph which is the most inconvenient shit ever. roll it back, tumblr, good lord. I'm seeing posts that in reality have like 6k reblogs only visibly having like 100 because of this, that's a SEVERE cutdown of notes

Insisting Christmas is ‘for everyone’ is Christian proselytizing. Send tweet.

guys. do you get the significance of what just happened? do you get it ????

stranger things is arguably netflix’s biggest hit Ever. it is a show with millions and millions of viewers worldwide. it’s basically the definition of mainstream media right now.

and will, a canonically gay character, has been repeatedly pushed aside by some viewers as “irrelevant” or just as someone who is “getting in the way” of the “meant-to-be heterosexual” couple.

but now, at the end of st5 volume one, the entire spotlight is on will. not only that—it’s on will accepting himself for who he is. it’s on him accepting he’s gay, accepting he’s in love with his lifelong best friend, and, most of all, accepting that it’s okay to be exactly who he is. and that is what empowers him.

this is so, so important because it’s way too uncommon for something like this to happen, with a confirmed lgbtq+ character, and especially on a show as big as this.

One thing I’ve always hated is where you search up a tag for an underrated character and think you’ve found a really good fic only to realize the author tags the entire cast.

I just found out that Andy Weir is thinking about making a PHM sequel and noooooooooo. No, nope, nononono, PMH doesn't need a sequel, it's already perfect as is!!! They saved Earth and Erid, everything is fine, there aren't any plot holes that need to be explained.

Do you know what I would want though? A one season show (EMPHASIS on one season, DON'T DRUG IT OUT) with 15 episodes 30 minutes each that's just Grace's life on Erid. It should be silly with some angst sprinkled in here and there (I need to learn more stuff about Eridian culture). Adrian reveal, how Eridians see Grace, how they handle him, if he's made more Eridian friends, how is a typical school class with a bunch of young Eridians? And maybe one or two episodes about Earth and how they see Grace. If they see him as a hero, if they've built statues of him. I wonder if the church made Grace an actual saint. I want to see Stratt standing infront of a Grace statue, and just... Talk to it. Talk to him.

Sorry, I got carried away. But yeah, PHM doesn't need a sequel.

“Autism doesn’t cause low empathy! In fact we’re all just hyperempathetic we’re not bad peo-“

SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP.

There’s a few things going on with this statement.

1. Assuming that low empathy makes someone a bad person. It does not. Actions are what matter, not empathy levels.

2. Demonizing autistic people whose low/no empathy they attribute to their autism. Autism fundamentally impacts the way you interact with the world, others, and yourself. That includes empathy.

Anyway I love you people with low/no empathy this is a safe space for you <3

Signed,

A very pissed off autistic person with fluctuating empathy levels
