sometimes you enjoy a piece of media that is kinda trash and you have to live with it

Last year I rewatched Utena and drew this poster. And... I think it's time to show it?? 🤺

[andmaybegayer]

it still makes me go insane that somehow no social media site bothers to implement interleaved text and images. Fediverse cannot support it broadly, Bluesky can't handle it, Facebook can't do it, Twitter can't do it, fucking, LinkedIn doesn't do this, somehow only Tumblr has this, and it barely even counts as a popular social media site.

I think the concept of introversion may have harmed a lot of people, tbh

[elancholia]

It makes it easy to make an identity of being scared. And it's easy to hear a loosely medicalized idea like "I am just fundamentally de-energized by social interaction, unlike other people, who aren't", and then dig in. And really you're just scared.

My favorite thing about The Drama is Rachel's character because she reminds me of the kind of young person online who thinks the mere act of performing disgust or outrage at the morally wrong actions of someone else is somehow politically productive at all, or that it makes them a "good person."

Whenever I see someone disregard or disparage ideas of rehabilitation for people who have done (or in this movie's case, almost did) unforgivable things, I want to grab them and ask "what should be done, then?" Because, people like that do exist, in spades, and short of executing or imprisoning or Black Mirror White Bearing every person who's done or thought of doing something immoral, rehabilitation is probably the best bet for minimizing harm, right? (And if your answer to immorality IS execution or isolation... i do not think youre really the more moral one here...) But even taking out any potential empathy for the humans who do or think of doing immoral acts, sometimes, giving them the tools to lead a happy and fulfilling life are the exact thing that leads them AWAY from the potential acts of like, shooting up a school, regardless of how undeserving you think they are of that.

Its especially interesting because, in the movie, Emma had arguably done way more activism against gun violence than Rachel ever did, despite her cousin, but this means nothing. Emma's primary motivation for her planned shooting was bullying and the isolation she felt (and TCC tumblr), but it was when she found friends and real community and something else to invest her energy into, she was able to pull herself out of those dark thoughts and, like, rejoin society. And what does Rachel do when she finds out? Spreads rumors, and tries to isolate her. And, I say this not to victim blame, but to acknowledge that no one makes those big decisions in a vacuum and that understanding these things better is a NECESSITY for preventing them, which should be the fucking goal; that is exactly the kind of behavior that made her want to do that when she was 15.

i bet Michaela was secretly SO embarassed to have fallen head over heels in love with Francesca Bridgerton at first sight, like favourite cousin's wife aside it's the most reputation ruining thing that has ever happened to her in her five foot nothing rake life, like ohhh really? You've developed an all-consuming, soul destroying passion for Francesca Bridgerton? Diamond of the season Francesca Bridgerton? Everyone wants her Francesca Bridgerton? Tall gorgeous porcelaine skin pretty hair big lovely hazel eyes piano player beautiful woman Francesca Bridgerton? You can't get her out of your mind? You fall asleep dreaming of her lips? God fucking really. How original. Florals for spring groundbreaking. She thinks the pretty girl is pretty. Should we tell everyone? Should we throw a ball? Should we invite Bella Hadid

[aropride]

could an average, able-bodied person reasonably walk from where you live to a library, in good weather?

yes, because i live at a school/college etc with a library

yes, very easily

yes, there's a library in a reasonable walking distance

yes, but it'd take a while / terrain would suck to navigate

yes, but it'd take so long / be difficult enough to do that nobody would

no, there's no library in a reasonable walking distance

i wish we could all agree on a secondary location but unfortunately when tumblr is over we will be dispersing into our own directions like dandelion seeds
