Not only is having intergenerational friendships literally not creepy, imho it's actually essential. You NEED friends who are older to do things like help you when there's a problem with your taxes, and give you job advice, and relationship advice, and especially if you are part of a marginalized group, and especially if you're part of a marginalized group and don't have contact with a ton of other members of it, you need older friends to show you that there IS a future for you, for people like you, and what it looks like, and the way it doesn't even have to involve turning into your parents

When I see someone in a Tesla I don’t necessarily think “here’s a guy who loves Adolf Hitler” because they could have bought it several years ago before this stupid bullshit. However when I see a cyber truck I do think this.

via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.

Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.

MAGA thinks Nazis are good people and want every Confederate image/statue restored.

TUMBLR 101: a helpful guide for tiktok refugees

are YOU a former tiktok user trying to learn how to use tumblr to fill the void the american tiktok ban is leaving in your soul? here are some things you should know, from someone who’s going on their eighth year on this hellsite:

1. you can say anything on here. gone are the days of having to use words like “unalive” and “seggs.” murder! kill! sex! fuck! speak your mind!

2. there is a community for you on here. regardless of what you’re into or however small the fandom is, you have a place here. at least one other person will have heard of your weird obscure interest. strike up a conversation!

3. followers don’t matter. tumblr is one of the last remaining social media sites in which your number of followers means absolute jack shit. this can be disorienting at first, but once you lean into the fact that everyone on this website is equal, it’s very freeing. clout means nothing here.

4. similarly, you can post at any time. while tiktok has an algorithm that favors certain times, tumblr has no such algorithm. post whatever you want, whenever you want. every post has virtually the same chance at getting notes, regardless of when it is posted.

5. tags can have spaces between the words! this one is very exciting. tags can be a whole sentence. you can also use the tags to comment on someone’s post without actually adding onto the physical post itself (which is sometimes frowned upon and called “derailing” if you use this feature to bring up a completely different point other than the one that’s being made on the original post).

TL;DR: speak your mind, find your place, followers don’t matter, post anytime, have fun with tags!! tumblr is a wonderful site used to share things you’re excited about. be patient with yourself as you’re learning and have fun!

"We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!" how about you go fuck yourself

[assiraphales]

“tik tok is brainrot I’m glad it’s getting deleted” YOU are ignoring an early warning sign of fascism bc silly dances and asmr annoys u. tik tok ban is a part of a MUCH bigger bill that indicates any foreign app, if deemed a threat, can be banned if the owner does not sell it. aka the government is mad bc they cannot censor & their capitalist puppet masters are mad they aren’t making money from it. and if ur ok w that……hm

[mereblogs]

STOP USING FASCISM AS A MEANINGLESS WORD YOU CAN THROW OUT AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT!!!! STOP!!!!! I BET ON MY SOUL YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL THE DIFFERENCE WITH NAZISM IF YOU DID NOT GOOGLE IT! STOP, IT HAS A MEANING, PEOPLE WHO DID LIVE AND SURVIVE IT ARE STILL ALIVE IN MY COUNTRY AND THEY WOULD SCREAM IF IT WAS COMPARED TO THE USA BANNING AN USELESS APP ON A PHONE! STOP! GO TOUCH GRASS! SINCERELY, AN ANGRY AND TIRED ITALIAN.

Ok I know Americans throw words around a lot, but it's not gonna stop at tik tok. History has taught us that over and over again.

Do your research.

[o0katiekins0o]

They banned the app because it was used to effectively coordinate multiple incredibly disruptive protests and demonstrations. It was used to humiliate Trump. It was used to connect US-ians with people outside of our so-called democracy who are experiencing a higher standard of freedom and quality of life than we are. It also effectively combatted a TON of covid misinformed intentionally spread on Facebook.

The "security theat" TikTok poses is literally just from people from the US having solidarity with other people from other countries- to the degree that we are listening when our foreign friends call bullshit on what our government is doing to us.

Literally the only motivation for the TikTok ban is fascism.

[one-hit-boy-wonder]

"lol tiktok users would rather learn mandarin than come to tumblr" yeah man that's crazy. who would have thought that people from the video-based dopamine-machine app wouldn't decide to join the text- and image- based no-algorithm website?

[ukthxbye]

Btw when I joined this site I was a married straight Christian monogamous woman in her 20s. After all the years and a lot of TikTok, a pandemic that is still here and etc etc etc, I’m now an early 40s queer bisexual Celtic pagan green witch who is a woman but probably also a secret third thing sometimes and married polyamorous with a girlfriend(?… we’re dating anyway)

So I guess I’m saying… it gets better, kids.

Agreed with all of the above, but there is also something incredibly ugly about a person who reads all of the recent news and their primary vocal reaction is... this form of triumphant boasting over the illusion that their personal, individual dislike of his work has been, seemingly, vindicated.

Because they don't actually care about the horrifying things that happened to the victims. That's a footnote, an afterthought. They're mostly just hideously delighted to have been """"""right"""""""".

If that's you, I'd suggest taking a good hard look at yourself. It's not about you, babe.

[ukthxbye]

If anyone wants to know my energy having to keep coming back here, especially after losing TikTok, I’m a green witch irl. We all know Rio here I hope. Just like her. I’m a new person and the amount of feral I’m feeling is hitting new levels. Fuck the government. All of them.
