In the end, you can really only effectively cancel people who give a shit. People who care about how their actions affect other people. The people who have done (and are still doing) intensely harmful shit?

Well. They don’t care. They’re still doing horrible shit and they always will be. And the worst part? They’re still making a metric fuckton of money. Like certain unmentioned authors, youtubers, etc. etc. 

So what is it that makes cancel culture double down and attack those that have changed/apologized/genuinely attempted to better themselves?

Is it the echo-chamber mentality? Or is it the desire to feel powerful in the wake of a successful ‘cancellation’? A success you might not have achieved with someone considerably more harmful and problematic because they simply don’t -care- enough to -be- cancelled? 

I dunno. 

Edit to add: This doesn’t mean I don’t believe those shitty people shouldn’t be cancelled because they absolutely should be. 

I just wish it worked on them.

Should 16-year-olds vote? Greens push to lower voting age

Should 16-year-olds vote? Greens push to lower voting age

I think this is a good idea. Obviously not all sixteen and seventeen year olds would make use of it, but the sort of sixteen year old who wants to vote is the sort of person you want voting - they’re interested and motivated and trying to do something effective.

Day 1767 - I was recently given a free reusable straw that I don’t need, so I gave it to a friend who mentioned wanting to buy one as a Christmas gift for his wife.

There won’t be a lot of fish / animals in the sea anymore if you keep using straws & other plastics. Skip the straw to save a life. 🤙🏻✌🏻🐢 (at Windsor, Ontario)

I hate this app

Tumblr is one of the only sites I like anymore (and just, social media in general) despite its problems but fuck man

Tumblr, your app SUCKS. I can’t see any messages anyone sends me, my notifications don’t ever refresh properly and sometimes my dash is all janky.

Fix your shit tumblr

OH BOY FIRST DISCOURSE POST OH BOY I AM EXCITE

okay so i’m makin’ those dumb ole bunker peridot episode ideas but besides making episodes that aren’t shit i also got just plain simple critiques. WHEN Y’ALL CRITICIZE THE HOMEWORLD GEMS FOR BEING MEAN? TRICKY? RUDE? Y’all do realize its like, a literal war right. A literal war going on in the universe of the show, these are soldiers fighting soldiers. Sure they’re gems projecting hard light constructs and not flesh and blood but its still, a conflict??? They are enemies of each other??? Their actions are justified as far as war takes it at least??? Like Jeez guys. Its not all black and white, these gems have jobs to do. Plus for innocent happy rebels, the crystal gems have been real cruel for like, zero reason. Especially just leaving the Rubies floating the fuck in empty space. Remember when a Ruby hit the windshield as they were traveling to the fucking human zoo, and Steve was like “maybe we should pick them up” and Pearl was like “eeeeeh, maybe later sweatie : )” And they never did? The Homeworld on the other hand has been super duper nice, considering. It would be a lot easier for them to just glass the entire surface of the earth and then wait for the cluster to emerge from a lifeless planet’s husk. Think about it dude. That bubble room is starting to look more and more like a disgusting trophy room...

It seems like whenever Damon is even near a player he gets blamed for something, and then we get scored on during his penalty.
