i've heard multiple times my vibe could be expressed by a raccoon in a dress. that's why | she/they | queer | 20s | gay, soft, comforting, emotionally devastating and/or tragic stuff is my jam | i'd love to be multilingual, but i don't actually have the motivation to learn | my blog aesthetic is A Mess™ | where art goes: stwor-z-lasu | where fandom goes: brainsteddielyworming | ao3: unprettylittleme | terfs & other bigots not welcome here

If your fun is ruined by people pointing out the racism in the community you should consider why your fun depends on them being silent about the racism in the community.

I’m so sick of everything having a pop up. You go to website and before you click anything, there's a pop up asking for your email. There's a pop up asking you to share your location. There's something about a discount. A pop up about signing in. Every time I go to pay my credit card in the app, there's a pop up about getting a car loan and you can't click, don't show me this again. You can only click you're not interested right now.

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

why does my mother suddenly fail kindergarten whenever she tries to do anything on the computer

[dragon-in-a-fez]

I know she doesn't know what "the maximise button" is so I told her "click the square at the top right" and she clicked...the printer icon...in the middle of the toolbar. and I'm just like okay. this isn't a technology thing you are flunking basic shapes and directions. I'm turning off your computer and getting you a block puzzle. you have a master's degree

the situation with harry potter is kind of unprecedented in some ways imo because it is maybe the largest media franchise in history to be created & owned by a single person who still has direct creative control over it. who is also a billionaire with significant cultural/political influence. like the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" type excuses shatter on impact when the bigoted author in question is logging onto twitter every day saying explicitly that when you buy the tim hortons ravenclaw donut she is using your donut money to fund the genocide of trans people. like with big franchises usually there's at least a little more diffusion of responsibility than this

#sometimes people will do a harry potter comparison to say ppl are morally obligated to join an informal boycott of another author's work #when that author is revealed as sleazy or abusive or bigoted #and i will be real: i just don't think that's true. #go ahead and stop engaging with that other person's work if that's what your conscience dictates #but it's not a very meaningful choice one way or the other #outside of what it means to YOU. #but harry potter is different. you actually do have to eschew that shit. #you can't even 'be a fan' without paying for anything-- you're still feeding into the cultural phenomenon #that allowed and allows this woman to act like a petty tyrant #and pump money into hate groups #it truly is unique. singular. unlike any other situation in literature.

I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other
