Its really crazy to me that we’ve gotten to the point where being photographed in public without consent is like acceptable

[yvesdot]

This is what I've started thinking every time I see a TikTok of a random stranger. We've seen what happens to people who go viral from their own posts-- why expose a stranger to that possibility just for existing? What if whoever's in there didn't want people to laugh at them? What if they don't want to be a meme? What if they just want to exist in real life, and not in someone else's framing on the Internet? Other people are not for public consumption.

I was just thinking about this on the way to work yesterday.... In Fact I believe that platforms like YouTube and tik tok have a duty to take down videos where unconsenting (especially service workers and children) people are involved.

Well what happens if you happen to be filming something and something funny happens with a stranger thats funny? Easy... ask permission to post

But ppl could lie and say they did ask permission! Ok so end videos with a clip of the ppl involved saying they're cool with it all.

It’s never JUST about the tomatoes.

Basically!

Throughout the day, partners would make requests for connection, what Gottman calls “bids.” For example, say that the husband is a bird enthusiast and notices a goldfinch fly across the yard. He might say to his wife, “Look at that beautiful bird outside!” He’s not just commenting on the bird here: He’s requesting a response from his wife—a sign of interest or support—hoping they’ll connect, however momentarily, over the bird.

The wife now has a choice. She can respond by either “turning toward” or “turning away” from her husband, as Gottman puts it. Though the bird-bid might seem minor and silly, it can actually reveal a lot about the health of the relationship. The husband thought the bird was important enough to bring it up in conversation and the question is whether his wife recognizes and respects that.

These bidding interactions had profound effects on marital well-being. Couples who had divorced after a six-year follow-up had “turn-toward bids” 33 percent of the time. Only three in 10 of their bids for emotional connection were met with intimacy. The couples who were still together after six years had “turn-toward bids” 87 percent of the time. Nine times out of 10, they were meeting their partner’s emotional needs.

The Secret to Love Is Just Kindness

Those who showed genuine interest in their partner’s joys were more likely to be together.

so I’m opening a new hospital and I think I’m going to buy some of these window clings to decorate the glass in the children’s ward with:

[bojanus]

So vibrant! Red is associated with vitality, so I think sick children will feel energized when they see this ^_^

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

My thoughts exactly! The bright red means energy, willpower, strength, and determination, so kids going in for life-saving surgeries will see these and be reassured that they’re going to be okay. :)

I need you guys to see the newest amusing music trend on tiktok.

[beesmygod]

one of the most fascinating and legitimately wonderful things about the internet is that it has given humans the ability to spontaneously collaborate no matter their location for no reason other than the sheer joy of it and that concept is neatly captured in this little video where a bunch of strangers made a cohesive and complex piece of short music around a video of a cat drinking milk silly

I hope im not late!

tbh we’ve made fun of cinephile men too much. In our world dominated by Disney I think a boy who could talk about akira kurosawa for two hours and is way too deep into the criterion collection can only be a good thing

same moment different angle

@sox-in-fox​ this some Graves level bullshit here

[watermelonwomen]

Okay to everyone in the notes saying this is transphobic or misogynistic I just want to say that it was and still is very common in British pantomimes for men to cross dress. Cross dressing has been a big thing in British plays from all the way back to Shakespeare because at the time women weren’t aloud to perform, so men had to take the role of women in the theatre. It is done in all seriousness, not meant to have the effect of “haha a man in a dress” or a mockery towards women or trans folk, obviously some cross dressing was done as a mockery but for the most part, men in dresses and makeup in the theatre has been a very normal thing throughout British history.

These boys would spend hours rehearsing for weeks, they put a lot of effort into these plays. They are just trying to put on a show and keep up moral during wartime. I honestly doubt there is ill intent behind it.

Every month there’s a new tweet that’s like “I cannot BELIEVE libraries would just THROW OUT decades-old copies of popular books instead of investing money, labor, and space they don’t have to slowly donate each moldy copy of Brave New World to a child who’d want it” and every month librarians will write painstaking threads detailing why this practice occurs and why these well-meaning suggestions do not work, and every month nobody reads them and then this happens all over again

[vampiregrrl98]

This is book burning in my opinion on a mass scale! 😢😭😠😤😡🤬

[jabberwockypie]

@vampiregrrl98​ It’s REALLY not, though, which is the point of this post. They’re not throwing out books anyone wants to read, or books anyone is trying to check out. Some of those books are damaged. And if they’re damaged because people have been checking it out so much, then they’ll probably get another copy that isn’t falling apart. Libraries don’t have room to keep everything. For example: when I worked in the school library in jr. high, we threw out a whole shelf of non-fiction books about other countries because they were 30-40 years out of date. They were better sources, some of them were about countries that didn’t technically exist anymore (because, in the interim, the cold war had ended, among other things), and a lot of them were kind of racist!

[shiobookmark]

Another difference someone else pointed out is that book burning happens to destroy information. These books are being destroyed because they’re unwanted, the information still exists either in a better form or just in a newer wrapper. Books don’t last forever. I was shocked the first time I learned about weeding, but mum explained it to me. Libraries do often give away a lot of books for free or at low cost. They sell them at the library itself. If people don’t grab them what’s supposed to happen then? Do you know how many books are kept in the stacks? They pile up really quickly.
