no offense but reading is literally the cure to brain rot and there’s no work around to reading books

I can’t wait for the crash of current technology and social media, I yearn to return to the bulky technology— dumb phones, cd players, mp3 players, etc

I yearn for customizable profiles— I want everyone to be forced to listen to my shitty playlist the moment they click my profile — I miss social media not being a numbers game

I get sent PR packages, I post content about products I’m sent, I’m typing this on an iPhone, it is not lost on me that I’m a part of the problem

But I’ve been considering canceling my Spotify premium, and going back to an mp3, just for starters

Thrifting physical copies of media that I own digitally, no longer purchasing digital media from here on out

Eventually I’d love to switch to a dumb phone, but I doubt it’ll be soon — especially since the one I’d like isn’t sold in the US, and wouldn’t work here, even if I could get my hands on it, but also my current phone isn’t that old (it’s “old”, but it’s new to *me* and it works, so replacing it when I don’t need to, just feels like a step in the direction of overconsumption, which is something I try to avoid to begin with lol)

Little steps, but the end goal to be as unplugged as possible

Again, not lost on me that I’m posting this *to* a social media platform, but imo tumblr is like the most decent place we have left? It’s not a numbers game, I don’t see influencers on here doing mega hauls (and maybe they do, and I’m just so detached I don’t see it lol) but it’s like one of the last places that still feels like it did when I was a teen, and while it has changed in that time (for the worst lol) it’s still better than basically every other platform I use

there needs to be so much more legislation when it comes to advertising, especially mobile adverts which are 99% lies and often predatory.

[infectiouspiss]

my suggestions:

-adverts cannot lie about the product they are advertising

-adverts cannot trick you into clicking them (eg. false X's to close the ad)

-adverts cannot pretend to be the app you are currently playing and say "you need to update the app!"

-adverts cannot, under any circumstance, have strobing lights

-adverts cannot bully or belittle the viewer (genuinely why is this one a thing ads do)

-advertising gambling should be illegal

-advertising addictive products should be illegal

-no hate speech of any kind

-no attempting to convert the viewer to any religion

-ADVERTS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FORCE OPEN THE APP STORE ON ANY DEVICE

[comicgeekscomicgeek]

I'd also add to the "false x" point above -- the ad must be easy to close/dismiss. None of these too small a set of pixels to accurate tap with a finger thing.

Once closed, an ad cannot return nor can it be replaced with a new ad.

[liveandletrain]

Once you hit the x it should immediately close the ad instead of taking you to another stage of the ad that you will not be able to close for a certain amount of time

Hi, the vast majority of these tactics are illegal in the US already, but they're widely underreported.

If you see any of these things, please take a screenshot or screen recording and submit a report to the FTC:

Report Fraud

Protect your community by reporting fraud, scams, and bad business practices

Include as much detail as possible and keep reporting new false ads when you see one. The FTC focuses their enforcement based on the reports they receive.

I know I said no woman in Bridgerton is a girls girl, but I changed my mind in regards to the books

Book! Penelope is THE OG girls girl. She's out there lifting up women like it's her ACTUAL JOB. She has no chill, she supports even her friends' dumbest decisions bc they should be allowed to make their own choices. Eloise is actually her favorite person.

Only women she tears down are ones her low-key deserve it.

this is the kiss penelope asked for. a kiss. nothing she said implied she wanted more than this little peck..

but this is the kiss colin gave her. this is what he wanted..

and this is the kiss that opened his eyes. this is the brow-furrowing 'oh' moment. this was the kiss he wanted and needed..

and this is where he needed a moment. he needed a second to bask in the afterglow of their kiss before his lips instinctively inched back in to meet hers again..

this is the moment the hope for anything 'more than friends' with colin, ended for penelope. this is where she thought, 'this was just a favor! this was just my friend colin being kind. this is never going to happen again, but at least i had it once'...

and this is the moment colin saw the possibility of 'more than friends' with penelope

I swear Benedict was in that threesome for 12+ hours for how many damn times they cut to it.

Drama intensifies ------ cut away to Benedict swallowing Tilly's tongue

Another dramatic moment ----- cut away to Benedict swapping spit with Paul

Like be for real Bridgerton editors and writers. We didn't need more of the threesome, we needed more Polin aftercare near the end of episode 8.
