the reason it's a bad thing to only talk about a certain group of people when it benefits your argument is that it shows that you don't actually care about us as people. you can bring us up in an argument if the argument calls for it. whatever. but using an entire community as a gotcha and then attacking that same community when they ask for rights and recognition is complete bullshit. you don't get to use us as an argument if you clearly only see us as a thought experiment and nothing more

#just blocked someone because they told me to stop acting butthurt about people using intersex people as a gotcha #also. a gotcha is very different from a well-structured argument #like. there's a difference between 'there are many examples where biological sex is not two distinct classes' #and have that as a part of your argument #compared to #TERF: [says something transphobic] #trans person: well you're wrong because INTERSEX people exist [proceeds to fetishise the intersex experience] #anyway this is not just a problem for intersex people #I've also seen it happen for my Jewish friends and my fellow disabled people and all that #esp. intellectually disabled people being used as an argument against changing certain language even though it's clear the person arguing #has never spoken to an intellectually disabled person in their life #anyway

everyone always talking about how this was more of a naledi/lin route (which it is) but nobody talking about how this is more of a clarence friendship route if you don't choose the epilogue where you're both in love now ig

#👓 #not that's a bad thing btw i just think it's funny #a nice reprieve from the angst of godheim clarence route #i actually liked being besties w clarence in this route 😭 #i'll admit maybe i would've thought the romantic part was less forced #if it came after like #the time skip #like it still would've been strange considering the rest of the story felt very romance-barren #but i would've believed it more #that mc and clarence fell for each other after a few years #compared to #whatever we got #in that second epilogue

will never recover from the knowledge that ellie doesn't beg for her own life no matter how many close calls she has vs her begging for joel's life at the top of her lungs!!!!!!!

#* ᖭི༏ᖫྀ [ જ⁀➴ ] : ooc . #“asked about a guy with a bitch scar across his face” and “you look like you just pissed your pants” and “fuck you” #when her own life is in extreme danger #compared to #“please stop” “please don't do this” #feeling very i miss u joel on this fine night!!!!!

Whoever needs to hear this. Please know.

"Closed at 6pm" does not mean "The entry door locks up at 6, but if you're already inside you can keep on shopping."

It means, "you should be finished and out of the store at 6pm."

This is not up for debate

This is just how things work

#The lights went out 20 minutes ago and this woman is comparing ingredients on soy sauce #Straight up shopping in the dark peering into black freezers and shit #Her car is parked in a fire lane and I hate her

we'll do fine.

#fionna and cake spoilers #what hits me a little is how similar fionna and simon's stories are in the case of finding nuance in their lives #when both have gone through their separate but still valid pain no matter the extent it had been #and its that they met each other they get to see how it compares and they're no less worth of the peace and fun they dreamed of #even in the form of simplicity and just being normal #“i wouldn't have met THE fionna and cake” “we wouldn't have met THE simon petrikov” #it hits me harder that after the dandelion scene would've been their last time seeing each other physically #and how assuring simon sounded when fionna didn't know what to do with the literal world in her hands #tho im sure prismo isnt that much of a rule jerk lol i still drew out the revelation anyway with this tiniest addition #also the fact fionna's world is influenced by simon's thought processes and conditions so now things are a little better for both of them #fionna the human #fionna campbell #simon petrikov #qiiarts #the lil flashback of #betty grof #fionna and cake #adventure time

"Oh the media being biased/silent on Gaza is a conspiracy theory"

I am a literal journalist and this is what happened when I pitched an article to a magazine I write for:

We covered conflict before. We denounced PMs' positions as wrong before. But this is where the editor balks - anything that makes it look even vaguely like we might, possibly, support Gaza. Even if the article itself would not have been an opinion piece, but a news feature about events on the ground.

We have free press, baby! But avoid the matter entirely if you can. It's delicate and depressing, why would you talk about it? Don't rock the boat. Be quiet. You don't need to go there.

Self-censorship is alive and well.

#gaza #free palestine #also to be clear #i am not that naive #i knew precisely what the difference was #compared to the attack on Ukraine #but I wanted them to spell it out

ok i finally get why everyone fucking loves law it's cause every time the straw hats do literally anything they cut back to him making this EXACT face

#im going to throw up laughing its so funny i need to find a screenshot. EDIT SCREENSHOT NOW IN NOTES LOL #like obvs i knew he's a fan fave but this is actually extremely funny. guy who is the barometer of normal behavior compared to everyone els #but who is also fucked up and skewed in his own way #trafalgar law #one piece

tumblr developers cranking it into overdrive to make sure one of the few unique and usable social media sites remaining becomes a half-formed failed homunculus clone of tiktok like every other fucking website

#yes i know developers do not create the stupid bullshit ideas and only implement them because its their job #lets not be pedantic #also yes ok 'usable' is pushing it but compared to Twitter....i mean.

i am not immune to stories in which characters who have endured harsh, empty existences become absolutely transformed by someone’s sincere love for them and learn to live

#this is about hell's paradise btw #i know this is such an overdone trope but idc idc #'gabimaru the hollow' well your wife would object to that. #i haven't read the manga #so no idea how well mappa adapted the source material #but the way gabimaru's marriage is first portrayed #compared to after he has his big realization #was SOOOOOOO insane #oh this is also about buddy daddies too #buddy daddies #suwa rei #gabimaru #gabimaru the hollow #hell's paradise #jigokuraku #anime

even if you're not a supernatural fan, if you've been on tumblr long enough you are, like, culturally. like cultural christianity in america except it's the cw's supernatural. you may never have watched an episode or set foot inside the tag but your regular life shuts down on their holidays and all of your world news is delivered through that point of view. something to think about

#while i'm making equivalences we could look at the comparable impacts of the bible on the western literary canon and supernatural on ao3 #edited to add: y'all i have never seen supernatural either that's the post #yes my brain has been rotted by this fandom but the call is coming from outside the house #that tumblr lyfe #containment breach #spn

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

#also if it wasnt clear this isnt ‘its bad its lazy’ there is a level of like #completion consistancy i am thinking for with this #personally i really do not enjoy the like. vintage chic long red nails fur coats noir esque aesthetic HOWEVER 💥💥💥 #i can recognize that it is put together it is Intentional #i feel like a lot of people are going to say minimalism on this so LET ME SAY 🫰☝️ i recognize that minimalism is Considered an aesthetic #but i *PERSONALLY* do not consider it an aesthetic i consider it the void of one #it is a lapse in aesthetic or personality in the same way a silence in a song is still technically a ‘beat’ but no music is played #however the importance of Space or Breath in design is more akin to a purposeful silence in music #because that silence matters in the same way rhythm and breath in design do #so i guess minimalism is more comparable to like. white noise. the sound of a fan #very little effort and there is a comfort in it i suppose but its not. A Design. okay #TO ME 🤫 #if minimalism has one hater its me if minimalism has no haters im dead
