the gruel of the future—today! @vriskakinnieaynrand - Tumblr Blog

it's v sad seeing the internet hollowing out, and realizing it's doomed. at least i got to see what it was when it was still alive, you know? but what do you do after that? there was a past in living memory that was better than anything that can exist in the present

Hollowing out from machinespew filling in spaces that used to be obviously human venues of creation?

hollowing out from the intrusion of general society and all its norms, and the inevitable victory of the mark zuckerberg model of the internet as a panopticon auxiliary of the real world. the internet has always run on pseudonymous reputation, which is hard to fake by AI for the same reasons it's hard to fake by humans in paid posting centers, but the upside of doing things people like used to outweigh the downside of doing things people dislike, and now it doesn't – you can't do anything without self-censoring according to every possible regulation that you might be (retroactively!) found to be subject to

feel like the people using their full government names (or something appropriately resembling a full government name) as their instagram bios and maintaining an online presence of mostly innocuous images and the occasional half-literate sentence may be more correct than anyone writing paragraphs under a pseudonym. stylometric mass deanonymization is maybe three years out, the frontier age is over. something i appreciated about 1984 is that the proles get to be free – they live shitty little animalistic lives of no consequence in a zoo maintained for them, sure, but within the zoo it doesn't matter what they get up to. the highest law isn't any of the stuff about the party, that's for people who are already in violation. the highest law is that that you shouldn't do anything that might matter to anyone. and if you draw the venn diagram of output that works as a social strategy and things that don't matter to anyone, isn't the intersection precisely instagram beach pictures?

many people on this website seem to believe that those who do not choose to cultivate a highly subcultural visual appearance are incapable of experiencing pleasure. no, retard, the normal-looking heterosexual couple doesn't necessarily live on unseasoned potatoes and reproduce by six pumps of missionary, statistically at this point they're probably doing some manner of lifestyle kink that they just don't see the need to advertise to the world. you do realize, yes, that advertising your inclinations aggressively through your appearance is one social strategy among others, and not a precondition of being a real person instead of a cartoon theocracy robot? you do realize, yes, that many people believe in a difference between overworked and underworld? sometimes the normal looking guy puts on cat ears and panties and sucks you off, but like, in his bedroom, with the doors closed, you do know this, yes? of course you don't, you don't even fuck

every time i see something labeled queer i ask myself if i count. surely not, right? i mean i've topped a few guys but who hasn't

vriskakinnieaynrand

appreciate my craft. post carefully worded to be gender neutral. because if a cisgender heterosexual woman pegs her cisgender heterosexual husband within their otherwise traditional marriage she has a better claim to queerness than whatever i have going on =u.u=

You cannot choose to be faggot, that is impossible

You can only choose to be deeply and honestly yourself and follow your convictions

And when you do that, other people might deem you faggot

Faggot is a title that others can bestow on you, but you can never grant it to yourself

Favorite dinosaur?

:)

A few years ago, unprompted, my best friend sent this message in our Discord.

Dutifully, we asked him, and

That is how we became acquainted with zby:

For the rest of the day, we changed our server nicknames to "zby," renamed our custom emojis "zby" and "zby1," "zby2," and so on, and tried (in vain) to convince the rest of our friends to become zby with us.

"Zby" has stuck as our nickname for him. If I refer to my bestie online, I call him "zby" or "my zby." If you wanted to know more about this bizarre, elusive specimen, you'd find him on my blog under "zby tag."

What started as a silly dinosaur with a 3-letter name is now shorthand for one of the people dearest in this world to me.

So zby will forevermore be my favourite dinosaur.

the downside of being in a place that contains many transgenders, as one sometimes may be, is that one may look in a mirror and realize that one does not look so different from a transgender oneself. indeed, one may be interpreted as a member of the category of transgenders. which isn't right. i'm cis. i'm cis

but, you see, it would be worse if one wasn't, because it would mean the failure of one's purely unintentional campaign of accident and coincidence. you understand.
