I can't believe home depot literally produced a wildly successful science fiction musical and we all just pretend it didn't happen. on one hand yes it had a boring white guy main character but like.... home depot just... Made it? And it had shit ton of box office sales? and no one even talks about this. this is like avatar (2009) all over again

[indigobuntings]

OK so. After a lot of frantic googling I realized this was all a dream. home depot did not in fact produce a wildly successful science fiction musical. I was on allergy meds and took a nap and my brain simply prophesized this. slightly disappointed because I wanted to watch it.

We need to lay more blame for "Kids don't know how computers work" at the feet of the people responsible: Google.

Google set out about a decade ago to push their (relatively unpopular) chromebooks by supplying them below-cost to schools for students, explicitly marketing them as being easy to restrict to certain activities, and in the offing, kids have now grown up in walled gardens, on glorified tablets that are designed to monetize and restrict every movement to maximize profit for one of the biggest companies in the world.

Tech literacy didn't mysteriously vanish, it was fucking murdered for profit.

Fun fact! School Chromebooks block Linux. It's not an easy alternative. You are missing the point

I think the logic here is:

>we save people from fires

>fires can kill anyone, including queer people

>we also save queer people from fires

And in an age where paramedics legally refused to save the life of a trans car crash victim, that’s an important sentiment to state

You can replace [ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY] with [SCROLLING] but watch out. This sucks bad 👍

[nat-20s]

Some things about this post since getting quite a few notes:

1. If you see this post, highly recommend taking it as an opportunity to set a timer for 15 minutes and switch over to ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY. if after those 15 minutes, you want to go back to scrolling, that's okay!

2. Huge shout out to this popping up in my notifs often, bc I do go back to activity.

3. I think there are times where scrolling is fine. Right now, for example, I'm being connected to a machine for two hours to donate plasma and platelets. Yes this is a brag but it is also a time where scrolling is one of the few things I can do. (Though I will probably also read or watch something on phone lol)

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

Okay but why was I so concerned about it on TikTok but I see on tumblr and I’m like oh that makes sense it’s fine

[gayfirebird]

Its because someone put their fucking face with that statement, its not funny anonymous internet person its justine who is 16 and someone's classmate

[supreme-leader-stoat]

I'm also inclined to believe that when tumblr user evilvillain123456789 says they killed someone as a child that they might, just possibly, be doing a bit.

day 6 / ???

[bakurapika]

this is really interesting in how it frames disability/low spoons/etc as not being a series of internal symptoms, but specifically a situation in which daily tasks increase in complexity. for example i used to be able to wash the dishes normally. but now mental and physical issues combine to make that situation have a lot of prequalifications (do I have time, energy, how long can I do it without being sore the next day) that means many more steps are involved in getting that single physical act of washing a dish to be done.

[rockshitty]

I’m trying to remember the quote. “On a good day, doing laundry is three steps. On a bad day, the first step is getting out of bed.”

Hey, we’re in line for some absurd temperatures here in the southwest this week. This is very important to know and keep in mind. Be safe, stay hydrated, stay out of the sun as much as you can.

[katajainen]

For my fellow Europeans south of us who are currently suffering from extreme heat. Stay safe!

I’d also like to add this

Additional you can also put them on your palms, also, make sure to always use a light towel or kitchen paper and don’t put the ice bags directly onto your skin!

If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.

#last time i reblogged this it was about lihn and that still holds but this time i’m floyd collinsing it #like imagine you were born in 1887 and spent 99.9% of your life in obscurity and mostly alone and never married or dated anyone #and then at 37-going-on-38 you spent the last ~2 weeks of your life in horrible pain & discomfort & dread while millions of people watched #and your very last human contact was a man kissing you goodbye because you begged him to and they put that in the papers #and 100+ years later your legacy is “guy who died badly in a cave” or in niche circles “greatest cave explorer ever known” #but enough knowledge about You The Person was passed down from the cub reporter (and others) who tried to save you #to the caver & historian who told your story as truthfully as possible to the musical theatre writers who made it into a work of art #for gay people born after nearly* everyone who knew you had died to go “maybe this guy was gay too :) that would be neat” on the internet #things happen and folks forget but the rain soaks it up and collects it here… no telling what’s on these walls layering on slow #like a stone history book with a couple of sentences about me… #probably why it lives next to lihn in my mind. exchanging a kiss goodbye while the oppressive environment you’re trapped in crumbles #see you in heaven / and if we meet again how i hope the world is different then… all part of the great unrecorded history #floyd collins #*the 1999 epilogue of trapped says the last living person to have seen floyd alive in sand cave (william douglas) died in april 1994 #and there may have been people who technically met floyd when they were kids who were still around at that time #but all his immediate family members and the vast majority of his neighbors and would-be rescuers were dead well before then

[ID: a screenshot of a comic speech bubble. The black text in it reads "No matter how open-minded, socially conscious, anti-racist I think I am, I still have old learned hidden biases that I need to examine. It is my responsibility to check myself daily for my stereotypes, prejudices and, ultimately, discrimination." /ID end]

antiracism is a constant process. i was raised in a racist village and it's not easy to get rid of it. i moved away over 10 years ago but those ideas are still haunting me.

[genderkoolaid]

also keep in mind that shame + guilt are not conducive to growing as a person. when it comes to "checking yourself" it should be a non-judgemental process. it's not about flagellating yourself for every bad thought or trying to purify your mind of all corruption. it's only when acknowledging your own racist thoughts doesn't fill you with dread that you can really progress past the white guilt of it all.

radical self-acceptance & genuine self-critique are not opposites. they need each other. do not let obsessive-compulsive behaviors colonize your desire to grow as a person.
