Landers Never Stand Down. We Don't Know How.

Call me Three! We always use she/her & they/them pronouns. Idk what else to mention ngl. Just trying to get through my 20s, mostly.

H P Lovecraft may have been a cranky racist hack, but we mustn't let his proclivities taint our appreciation of pretentious verbosity. Sometimes "cyclopean" is in fact the word we're grasping for. Sometimes it's even "rugose".

I have a cool idea for a horror YouTube/twitch channel. It starts off normal, videos of what the creator likes, gameplay, movie reviews. Views are low, so their first sponsored video is kinda surprising. The sponsor claims to "boost views and engagement" but the whole ad is pretty vague. The creator mentions being a client of the service, and that promoting it gets them a deal. Then the video continues. Their uploads become stranger. Random clips, text, will flash onscreen. Nothing scary, just buzzwords, clips from famous videos. If anyone comments, they say it's part of the service. If the videos continue to get low views, the channel goes dead for a while. If videos get good views, the random clips become stranger and more aggressive, videos becoming unwatchable but hypnotic. Then the channel goes dead for a while. When it comes back, the creator is no longer in their home. The background is dark, they look tired, they glance at people outside of the camera's view. They talk less. The videos are still the same subject: gaming or reacting or whatever the niche was. They still promote the same sponsor but can't hide the venom slipping into their words. "But now, a word from today's sponsor..." they bite out, glaring daggers into the camera. It's not a promotion, its a warning.

How do I explain to you people that interracial relationships are okay

Not every white person dating a POC is fetishizing. White people can be respectful and responsible when it comes to culture and relationships and not everyone has bad intentions.

Asian people can date Black people without you saying shit like “your kids will be so pretty” they’re not dating for pretty kids. They’re dating bc they like each other.

Someone can dress their partner in clothing from their culture if they want. Someone can take their partner to cultural events if they want.

People in relationships can share cultures, experiences and love without it being toxic or skin deep.

Their partner isn’t culturally appropriating. Their partner is being shown the ultimate form of love, bc their partner trusts them and loves them enough to share their history and heritage.

Yeah, dating someone from your culture is nice bc you automatically have similar experiences. But you’re not limited to dating people with the same experiences. Loving someone is sharing and growing and being together.

Interracial relationships aren’t always toxic, and some of y’all need to stop projecting onto other people.

Calling ineterracial relationships toxic or fetishizing just seem like anti race mixing or racism with extra steps

fun fact, trans girls:

at some point in your transition, not only will you start seeing the girl in the mirror, you'll start consistently seeing her.

and it'll make all the difference in the world

There are a lot of people in the notes saying, basically, "Yeah, that's polyester for ya!"

but, the thing is

even polyester fabric was higher quality in the past

yes, not all of it, but, still, a noticeable amount of older polyester was...nicer.

yeah, it would still get picks and hold on to every bit of underarm odor, and that's on top of no-one knowing about microplastic shedding

but a 1950s Wash'n'Wear shirt, or 1970s double knit pantsuit, or 1980s neon sweatshirt, or a 1990s slinky knit or crushed velour mock turtleneck...so many of them would have been significantly higher quality than the fast fashion of today.

i work in historical costume. i work in a big-ass warehouse, with hundreds of thousands articles of clothing dating back over 100 years (for original pieces).

the BLINDING difference in clothing quality between even the 1990s and the mid-2000s...not even going in to the decline in quality of clothing made in natural fibers (jeans with elastane, i'm looking at you), I've got faux-leather trousers from 1980s that are in near-mint condition, even after being hired and worn repeatedly for the past 40 years. we get donations of clothing that shows and films have bought online for contemporary shows that are disintegrating after being used on one show, for like....10 days, max.

don't even get me started on the seam allowances we used to get in clothes, because the assumption was you'd alter it at some point...

they hate you. they hate the planet. they have drip fed you worse and worse quality clothing until you don't even realize you're being sold Garbage

[isuggesteatingtherich]

i have a suggestion

[dress4the0ccasion]

It gets even worse if you’re fat. Good quality natural fiber plus sized clothing doesn’t exist unless you want to pay a hundred dollars for a single button down. Bad quality natural fiber plus sized clothing is exceedingly rare. Good quality polyester doesn’t exist.

I moved biomes and needed a whole new professional wardrobe that could be worn in swampy ass Georgia as opposed to the tundra of northern Maine. Went to a dozen in-person stores and couldn’t find anything. Went online and had trouble finding something. Even fucking SHEIN is too expensive these days and everyone knows the quality issues and eco cost in those.

Shopping online, I managed to get 4 shirts that I’m going to hate wearing and 1 pair of “slacks” that are so thin they’re practically see thigh and i still paid more than a hundred dollars for something that isn’t going to last a season.

actually the sanitization of lesbian media is because of transmisogyny. every backslide you've percieved in acceptance and equality is because of the rise of transmisogyny. free the nipple. marriage rights. clothing options. bathrooms. its all because of this big bioessentialist conservative puritan push to try to erase trans women from society and specifically lesbianism. you cannot leave us behind and expect a better world.

[valtsv]

if you're an adult behaving immaturely i'm not going to "treat you like a child" about it because i have a lot of respect for children as an oppressed and vulnerable class of people. i will however treat you like an embarrassment. which you are being.

It's so funny hanging out with my partner's white family versus when they hang out with mine. Their family is so aggressively pleasant and they always talk about really obvious things ("the sun is warmer than the shade!") whereas my family operates primarily in silence and occasionally they'll be like "34 years ago today my father put a cigarette out on my stomach" and my partner will be like "Oh my god, I'm-- I'm so sorry" and they'll look at them with vague disgust at their mushiness and be like "... why. Get over it" so neither of us have any idea how to handle ourselves with each other's relatives

[parkchanwoohoo]

Their family, pointing at a rack of maps: Look, maps!

Me, struggling to figure out what to say: Correct answer. You have identified the item successfully

My partner: Lovely day today!

My family: Was that the end of your sentence? We all have eyes thanks

[the-haiku-bot]

My family: Was

that the end of your sentence?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

literally ok so not a funny story but kind of funny? when I was nine I encountered rape in a book and I was like hey mom what’s this mean and she explained it and I was like oh. gross. and then like two weeks later a girl on the bus abruptly disclosed her csa and we were all like ????? what ???? but I was like wait hang on there’s a word for that ☝️🤓 and explained what it meant and that it was illegal and that you could talk to a teacher or my mom if it had happened to you and everyone was like ohhhhh I see I see and very somberly comforted the girl (she was safe she was removed from her home and living with my neighbor at the time so it wasn’t Urgent)

[zarohk]

And this is a perfect illustration of why it is important for kids to read or variety of things, and why abusers don’t want them to.

[unsettling-mantis]

Hiding knowledge from kids will not benefit them but only render them helpless when faced with the unknown

"i dont like intersectional feminist terminology because it implies that i have the capacity and means to enact violence and thats unfair because im literally so niceys" - one of the most dangerous and unsafe people youll ever meet

one of the things that makes autism a disability (and why some of us choose to label it as such rather than an “alternate neurotype”) is the stress. 

part of autism is just being incredibly stressed. overstimulation? stress. holding a conversation? stress. something happening to our schedule? stress. people talk about how often autism is recognized and diagnosed via our stress responses (like meltdowns) because it is just so common to see autistic people stressed because of lack of accommodations to how our brains work.

and this matters because stress kills. stress causes a lot of health issues, or it can trigger pre-existing ones by making certain chronic conditions flare up. i once had a psychiatrist very unhelpfully tell me i “just need to manage my stress” when the stress i was describing was things i could not avoid in neurotypical society and can’t “just get over”. i can do “self care” all i like but i cannot at the very base level change the way my brain inputs information and reacts accordingly.

i only learned this year that loud noises aren’t physically painful for other people. i have lived 34 years in a world in which my friends and family regularly physically hurt me at random just by shouting, and i thought everyone else just thought i was kind of a wimp for not dealing with the pain as well as they did.

like. loud noises physically hurt. it’s like a static shock from my ears to my spine that doesn’t stop until the volume goes back down. i thought we all agreed that ‘that’s too loud!’ and covering our ears meant ‘ouch!’. turns out i’ve been dealing with a stressor almost no one else has, my whole life, alone.

autistic people have to keep functioning through debilitating levels of stress that no one else in their life acknowledges or helps them with. it’s no wonder that their most visible ‘tells’ are breakdowns.

the internet has made people feel like their personal opinion on every topic is valuable and important and holds equal weight to everyone else’s but the truth is some spaces aren’t for you and some things you just can’t relate to or understand and that’s okay. learn when to stay quiet instead of inserting yourself into conversations that are actually nothing to do with you

[ashlgcostumes]

As someone who is both trans and has a child, absolutely hilarious to me that society presents one of these as absolutely only to be done if you are 110% certain and have proved to several people that you want it bad enough and are ready, and the other is like. You might as well everyone else does. Just do it nobody feels ready. You don’t want to? Yes you do

Especially since one of those is pretty reversible if you change your mind after a couple years and the other one, well, technically but that’s pretty frowned upon
