the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

"are you gonna take those pills the rest of your life?" you mean my molecules? why surely you wouldn't deprive me of my molecules. they are shaped exactly just so, you see. my molecules

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

do you know how hard someone had to work to make my molecules into their molecule shapes??

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

they invented a new shape of molecule just for me and you want me to what, not absorb it???

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

reblog to remind somebody about their molecules

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

people who shape molecules at their jobs found this post and they're in the notes being happy to be appreciated. go take your fucking molecules

randomly remembered “i have d cups, grandpa. the waitress thinks you have dementia” tonight so i decided to find the original tweet again and

[refrainboy]

[ID: A Tweet and self-reply by Twitter user Akira.

The original Tweet says "At a certain magnitude of cunt severity, getting misgendered by your family stops hurting and starts being funny. I have D cups, Grandpa. The waitress thinks you have dementia."

The reply reads: "UPDATE: she was right". End ID]

[kitstacean]

So, one thing I'd like to note here is

One of the lesser known early symptoms of dementia is that people start being more disagreeable.

Part of this is probably the natural result of being increasingly confused and upset day to day constantly. Another possible thing is that the same mechanism that causes dementia is also attacking the part of the brain that does emotional regulation.

And the thing is this is super early stage. By the time they stop remembering when's the last time you met, it's already way too late. But if an older person in your life starts acting way more like a cunt for literally no reason, and it's not particularly in character for them, it really might be worth testing for dementia or Alzheimer's because you have a lot more options catching it earlier.

[vaspider]

this is a good argument for not being an asshole: people will notice sooner if you get more argumentative.

[muffinly]

^ that is a great point

[morton-kosher-salt]

I used to consider myself a leftist. I no longer do.

"What made you change?"

Nothing. I still hold the same beliefs, the same values, the same morals. I'm still the same person I was when I attended Pride, when I volunteered, when I was loudly fighting racism, sexism, and inequality. 

But at some point you found a dusty old sign in your grandfather's attic. You gave it a lick of paint and proudly placed it on the front door.

"NO ZIONISTS ALLOWED"

it reads. "Don't worry" you told me. "We like you. We just mean the racists, the fascists, the evil ones. We don't mean you. You're one of the good ones."

But the thing is, I'm not stupid. And you didn't do a very good job. The paint has already begun to peel, and the original words are peeking through.

"NO JEWS ALLOWED"

For those who have missed it, a tourist in Hawaii decided it would be fun to chuck a rock (a BIG rock) at a monk seal. He missed, but he was captured on video, and when told it was illegal to interfere with them, said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine."

Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.

Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.

Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.

The best part is the local city council's reaction.

And the best part of that is the look on the attorney's face.

hmm my former landlords are trying to deduct a frankly off the rails amount of money from our security deposit…my time has come once again

[vinelark]

i was chatting with a coworker about this whole saga today and someone nearby popped into the convo to be like “you know, you can use chatgpt to write a demand letter!” and i sort of blinked and went, “okay. i did it myself, though.” and she was like, “yeah but it can tell you what laws and stuff are relevant” and i was like, “i also did research myself.” and she was very well-meaning but she said “chatgpt” like six more times before she left and it was genuinely baffling to me, this insistence on it.

and in the one hand, did i enjoy spending hours researching housing regulations in my state? not especially. drafting this email was stressful. but on the other hand, did i learn a lot by doing that research? yeah, i did. i’m more prepared for my current and future leases. i used some of that info to make decisions about a new renter’s insurance policy. i already told three different people about things i learned that are relevant to their leases that they didn’t know yet. (pro tip: see if you’re supposed to be getting annual interest payments on your security deposit! also look up what specific appliances your landlords must legally provide as of 2026.) i also got to reconnect with my cousin for a bit because her job gave her specific insight on part of the situation, and i’d much rather do that than have a chatbot make shit up for me.

also, i drafted that email with the power of friendship (friends angry on our behalf) and spite (from landlords telling me not to do my research). chatgpt could never.

(we got the money back, by the way 💪)

I volunteer at an elementary school through a school club. For the end of year party, I was discussing the logistics with the organization's president when she broke the news that there'd be no pizza.

"Aw, shucks!" Was my response. "You couldn't order it from a school approved vendor? Even with our funds?

"Basically," she groaned. "The usual place isn't open that day and I wasn't going to order from the other one."

"What was the other one?" I asked.

"It's" she wrinkled her face and whispered. "A kosher pizzeria."

I waited for the follow up. It didn't come. I repeated her words. "because it's kosher ? "

"Yeah." She sighed. "I just can't endorse that. With global politics."

"You can't endorse a local restaurant so you're not getting pizza for 8 year olds?"

"Yeah. And I bet that their stuff isn't that good -"

"Actually," I interrupted. "That place is fantastic. I love their pizza."

I couldn't tell you her response because I walked away from that conversation. But I am still reeling. This is just the many ways antisemitism shows up and we are all lesser for it.

[jewish-joy]

On a funny note, I ran into two of my rabbis and told them this story. They then got into an incredibly intense argument on if that kosher pizzeria was even that good.

One insisted it was the best and the other hated it, fighting for another spot.

I interrupted-- "guys, what about the antisemitism?"

They turned to me, consoling. "Listen, antisemitism is always going to be there. But at the same time, we can have standards."

And promptly got back to their debate.

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person 

im not a pissbaby

[damncommunists-deactivated20180]

my white friends that have reblogged this give me life

[zelda-tempest]

4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP

[lallamariamhabibi]

If ur white and like this post I fux with u

[birdpapi-deactivated20171121]

^absolutely

[verdant-witch]

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

[blackpoeticinjustice]

i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this

[sm0k3-ring-deactivated20160109]

6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death

[earthlyvibration]

THIS 

[yourlocalbadgerscales]

everyone say thank you to all black people who do us white people a favour and knock some sense into us every once in a while… and like i know that it’s not not y'all’s responsibility to do so and that you don’t always feel safe to call us out on our bullshit because of how genuinely hostile people get about it, but tbh that’s why it makes me so happy to see it happen. i honestly feel like it’s nothing but healthy for me as a white person to every now and then see smth and get to be like “aw no— wait nvm i’m being obnoxious again and it is genuinely so awesome that i have the privilege to be trusted with stuff like this and have a chance to be less obnoxious”

idk if that makes sensebecause i’m sleepy rn but whateverrr i just needed to say it

also i hope everyone who made a point of saying that they fuck heavily with all white people who reblog this knows that it’s the bare minimum and y'all don’t gotta be grateful for shit tbh

[buckleybeat]

this thread rocks because yes there is a difference. white people jokes are rarely actually offensive whereas other racial jokes are steeped in discrimination.

like prev said everybody say thank you black people for calling us white people out on our bs and nudging those of us who choose to listen towards change because no one else should have to do shit for us, we’re the only ones that need to make change after what we did

[gingerhastoomanyobsessions]
