Makenzie talking to Trisha: I was having a mental breakdown in a public bathroom but someone decided to take a VIOLENT SHIT IN THE STALL NEXT TO ME!!

Trisha: Oh my god that's terrible! Haven't they heard of common courtesy?

Deandra talking to Trisha later that day: There was a girl sobbing in the bathroom stall next to me and I had to take a record breaking shit. I feel so bad. I ruined her teen movie coming of age turning point moment with the hellish sound of my shit.

Trisha: Oh I feel so bad for her, I hope she's ok.

Brittany: Theres always two sides to every story.

tumblr confession has got me feeling Normal

[amvs]

genuinely they have probably saved people.

[amvs]

they HAVE saved people actually i’m 100% sure of that. i’ve learned about so many recalls i would’ve had no idea about otherwise !!!! from the bottom of all of our hearts thank you mamoru

[mamoru]

aw shucks, thank YOU! what a pick me up!

when I was younger, I got food poisoning. I was supposed to recover from it, but I wound up with a bunch of nasty medical conditions instead. I never imagined I would become disabled from food.

so I am really glad I have been able to help spread the word every now and then about food safety and recalls, since it hopefully means a few less people going through what I have.

while I have your attention, I do not post every recall, even just for the US, so here are a few of the links I use!

recalls.gov/recent.html <- aggregate of official government recall links for the US! food, drugs, products, child safety seats, motor vehicles, and tires! (half the feeds are broken half the time, but hey, it works™! check the FDA enforcement reports for a more complete list of recalls, especially drug recalls!)

recalls for canada <- recalls for canada!

RASFF <- food recalls and safety alerts for the EU!

food safety news <- news about food safety in the US, canada, and around the world!

I was poisoned <- see where people have gotten food poisoning near you, and report your own! (worldwide!)

thanks for reading, stay safe and take care!

the scariest thing about old tv isnt really the racism or the sexisim because you kinda go in braced for that it's all the scenes where suddenly an actress is holding a lion cub or a chimpanzee is in the same room as a toddler, or suddenly theres a lion, or there's a chimpanzee again but it's driving a car, or holding a lighter, or holding fireworks. You just kind of watch in horror as over and over an actress performs with only 1960s tv film shootings best animal handling between her and the opening to Nope.

❝ I think transracial people are racist, but my friend says I’m being transphobic by thinking this. Being transracial in this context means you identify yourself as a different race and it often includes blackface or other form of makeup that makes you look like a different race, like a white person purposely applying makeup in a way that imitate asian people, so that they look asian since they identify themself as asian, despite being born white.

My friend says this isn’t racist because racism means you’re hateful to a specific race. But transracial people are not hateful to the races they identify themselves as. So it’s about intention.

Is my friend right? Am I wrong? I am willing to educate myself if I’m wrong.❞

Is the submitter’s friend right, is the submitter transphobic, and is being a transracial person considered racist?

The friend is RIGHT. Submitter IS transphobic. Being transracial is NOT racist

The friend is WRONG. Submitter is NOT transphobic. Being transracial IS racist

Word of advice: get a new friend. That’s racist af, and also transphobic in its own way.

during pride month??????

[postarcadian]

truly the idea of "this scene is (un-)necessary to the story" is such a fundamentally uncurious and anti-art way of engaging with fiction. the story itself is unnecessary, in the sense that all art is unnecessary, because art is not a fucking optimization problem. that's the beauty of it

[some-stars]

i've been thinking a lot the last few days about how so many people, even when they think they're defending art, automatically adopt the position of the STORY being the most important part of all fiction. the plot, the character arc, the worldbuilding, but it's always about moving something forward and building a narrative idea. and like....yes, fine, but sometimes i read books because i like the way the author puts words together! sometimes i watch movies because the images and sounds give me an ineffable human experience! not all art can be experienced via synopsis!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite trope is “janitor in headphones continues cleaning through extreme action”

[adultdadfinder]

I’ve been the janitor in headphones and trust me it’s an act we just don’t wanna be involved in the nonsense

[stephexmachina]

when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.

[stephexmachina]

AND SO IS BEING SOMEBODY'S MOTHER‼️

[stephexmachina]

it is about being a woman. hope that helps!

[vibrantstarfire]

reading comprehension questions for the notes:

is wanting to be a wife and mother a requirement for being a woman?

why might OP be annoyed with replies assuming that this post is about being aroace or transmasc if a woman doesn’t want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to sexuality and romantic interest that might make a woman not want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to gender identity and expression that might make a woman not want to be a wife and mother?

core concept: what is gender essentialism?

is it gender essentialism to imply that all women inherently want to be wives and mothers? could this be what OP is critiquing?

look at the notes OP responds to. is it gender essentialism to imply that being a wife and mother is so affixed to womanhood that to not want to be those things means you’re incapable of sexual/romantic feelings, or not a woman?

what trait are you perpetuating when you assume that women who do not want to be wives and mothers must be aroace or trans? is it gender essentialism?

Listen, folks, I've been in therapy since I was 10 years old. That's 17 years. I have been on psychiatric medication since I was 11. I've been inpatient for mental health numerous times.

And you know what every single mental health professional I've spoken to in those 17 years has not given a shit about?

What I enjoy writing.

No competent mental health professional is going to institutionalize someone or put them on meds or treatment because of what they enjoy in fiction. That's a non-reason to give somebody mental health treatment.

You know what those mental health professionals do give a shit about?

My chronic suicidal ideation, anxiety, and C-PTSD. Why? Because those are real fucking problems that actually have a negative impact on me. My love of darker and taboo things in fiction has no negative impact on me. It literally has a positive impact on me. Not once has a mental health professional told me to stop writing the topics I enjoy. It's even been encouraged and reinforced again and again, both for catharsis and just plain and simple enjoyment.

People are not sick or mentally ill for enjoying taboo topics in fiction. There is a stark difference between what is real and what is not. Harming a character that technically has no feelings? Fine and okay thing to do. Harming another human being either physically or mentally? Not okay.

People have feelings. Characters do not. Fucking learn the difference.

I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor

[mankillercalledbunny]

Not to bring the serious to a very fun post, but this reaction is exactly what Mamdani is working for with his image, because in a very real way the most effective way for him to be The Mayor is if he looks like The Mayor.

This is a man who is VIOLENTLY aware that when it comes to conservatives, he is a Muslim first, a Brown Man second, an Immigrant third, a Socialist fourth, and a human a very distant fifth, if considered at all. He was also a young adult during the Obama Years and will have seen Republicans rip Obama to shreds for wearing a tan suit instead of a dark one and use literally ANY excuse they could to try and degrade his image.

Despite the fact that a mayor who wears a T-shirt and jeans might "seem more approachable" in the eyes of the average American, Zohran Mamdani knows that someone with his profile fundamentally cannot get away with that the way his White colleagues can. He has instead put in the effort to look professional and BE approachable, because not only does it make it easier for him to reach and represent his constituents, it forces everyone, including both his opponents and establishment Democrats, to engage with the work he is doing instead of judging his image. The fact that he is always seen in a suit and is recognisably The Mayor is, while also something he has fun with, a deliberate choice to ensure he is as inarguably A Professional Politician To Be Taken Seriously. The added humour of e.g. the hi-vis is a bonus, only achievable because he works so hard to Look Like The Mayor.

[bloggersremorse-deactivated2018]

Yeah spongebob look at mine I’m facing the toilet

[imgonnaliveforever1998-deactiva]

Patrick we have penises and were peeing with them

[bloggersremorse-deactivated2018]

Excuse me ladies, everything you’ve just said about being spongbeob and Patrick and having penises you pee pee with has been echoed and amplified down the hall, were we are holding a Sunday school class. We all have heard what you’ve said about peeing towards the toilet with your penises, and I am just letting you know.

so supposedly, disney jp is releasing a new game, and some fans are thinking disneys gonna put all their focus/creativity into this new game instead.. but you don’t think twst is gonna get replaced/end because of this, right?.. :(

[ More news about Sparklink Stars here!

My personal thoughts + warnings about coly inc. and AI usage here. Just be aware that this doesn’t necessarily mean they will use generative AI for the final illustrations. ]

That’s just unsubstantiated doomposting and we shouldn’t pay it any mind, especially when the game hasn’t come out yet and doesn’t have any figures to prove its success. For all we know, Sparklink Stars (hereby referred to as Spalik) could be a financial flop and go under a few months or years into service 😭 Twst JP is still consistently pulling in 3-4 million USD per month, so there’s no reason to believe revenue would take a sharp hit and end and/or be replaced out of the blue.

There is little to suggest that Spalik will consume the Twst fandom. The early marketing is extremely different, with Twst having dark, almost gothic vibes and a focus on villains, whereas Spalik is more ethereal and positive with all its talk of hopes, dreams, wishes, and light. The two complement one another; they’re not competition. They may both attract fans of anime pretty boys and/or Disney, but they’ll only stay in the long term for something that truly resonates with them. Some people like the dark stuff, others will like the light stuff, and some will like both. There is no shame in that. Lots of other things could be different between the games: design, music, gameplay, themes, and more. The one big thing they have in common is that both borrow from Disney IPs, and I’d argue the library is so vast and so open for interpretation that there would be differences in the Twst and Spalik characters inspired by the same Disney source. Plus, Spalik had Pixard licensing and Twst lacks this.

It has been stated that Spalik will be developed such that it will not compete with Twst. Two entirely different teams are working on each project. Their own coders, musicians, designers, artists, etc. They work independent of one another, their budgets are separate, etc. How can one team “take” the focus and creativity from the other when they aren’t related at all??? It’s not like Yana will be forced to design for both games and has to devote more energy and time to the newest one to get it off the ground, thereby leaving Twst to languish 😭 There's also the fact that Spalik is currently facing backlash from a portion of potential fans due to coly inc. being very pro-AI and admitting to using AI in the production process, whereas Twst seems to be entirely or mostly human-made. That's for sure going to keep some fans loyal to Twst.

We need to stop automatically thinking of the worst possible outcome every time news comes out. News is supposed to be exciting, not a foreboding prophecy about the End Times 💀 I’m not sure when or why fandom started to adapt the least charitable stances in response to any announcement, but it’s saddening to see.
