If you think Tumblr is so morally reprehensible as a company that their continued existence isn't worth it and it's evil to buy anything from them, log off...

#also a lot of what im hearing boils down to 'its wrong to buy anything ever because that supports capitalism'

[fishmech]

honestly I only just realized why I never ever see most of the harassment campaigns and callouts going on on this site

first I block people with shitty dirtbag left vibes because they'll betray anyone for clout

Then I block any seHighlighted terfs and fellow travelers cuz duh

Then I block people who seem to spend way too long trying to interact with those groups, or going They Have A Point. And then I block and filter video games and other media I really hate seeing people jabber about.

So that nukes out like 98 percent of perpetrators and like 97 percent of their victims. And otherwise have a far better dash to read and respond to.

#Also good strategy to block people who insist on saying free ()countryhere but don't know who's doing what #Because those people are who bandwagon anything #Like OK free the Drc from what? The current president who kinda sucks but has relatively high support? The Rwandan forces that harass #Two specific areas? The general tug of war over power and policy between the capital and the provinces? #One of the particular Provincial leaders? Like say something

i knew deep in my bones as a teenager that doing well in school wldnt actually matter in the long run n i just needed to not let it kill me but it is still very insane-making how i was Good At School up until i really wasnt and every adult in my life was SO sure i had to get Good At School again and now the skills i actually need to earn a living are just. communication, focus, lying, pattern recognition. which is pretty much what made me good at school but no one was telling me "wow you did so good on the SATs you would make an excellent shop assistant" everyone was all about going to uni and getting a degree and. idek. writing essays abt books full-time. my primary (currently hypothetical) work-related problems are when managers aren't autistic, and minimum wage isn't a living wage, and not getting sick pay. how would finishing my A levels have helped with any of those

#yelling at clouds #like i think if i'd gotten more actual support in school i could have finished my A levels #and if i was on adhd meds i might have made it thru uni too #but the only way i wldnt still be aiming for the exact same kind of ~unskilled job is if. we didnt live under capitalism #i am absolutely not built to have a job involving my Passions i do not have that kind of attention span #i need to be able to switch btwn primary interests at the drop of a hat #i need my work to be enjoyable in that my colleagues are chill and i dont have to do anything the autism Hates #not in that i Love It. i cant get myself to do things i Love for fun. #anyway. 17 year old spike was wrong abt some things but not half of what everyone told me i was wrong abt.

dysgraphic artiƨts risɘ UP!!!!!

#raise your pencils!!!! and erasers. to fix the backwards letters 😔 #sorry still thinking about my weirdness with my art professors. yknow a lot of em have been really pushing us as #students to make our personal identities a major part of like our 'brand' as artists #which. well from an art history major perspective thats a very contentious and nuanced topic. i love a lot of artists who live this way #and i think its great seeing my peers who focus on identity thrive. but also as an fine arts major (double major fool LOL) #i keep getting pushed by teachers into like. specific '____ artist' identities??? #specificaly woman artist. which is a little bizarre because im a bit fat and a bit gnc so im generally like. ungendered? in day-to-day life #(which doesnt actually matter to me directly that much honestly LOL people tend to view me as like. buddy? buddy or pal.) #(not man. not woman. not anything human. sometimes i remind people of a beloved dog. which. hkdsahjk thats its own can of worms) #(a can of worms that also doesnt matter much to me directly because im a wannabe furry who chose to be the dog when playing house as a kid) #(LOL so um. well. theres that) but yeah i dunno i dont really consider myself a woman artist. its been. shockingly (and sometimes luckily?) #irrelevant to most of my life and experiences and art (although dont get me wrong misogyny is very real and very present) so i dont #have a whole lot to say about it from an art perspective. you could also call me all kinds of things. a queer artist. a mixed race artist #again technically correct. some aspects more visible in my work than others. but also very technical. i focus on race a lot in in my #art historical work but i dunno how much my drawings have to say. except that i keep making too many mixed ocs LOL #i dunno i just think my professors gotta focus that energy away from tokenizing me and over to supporting like actual #capital W Woman artists capital Q Queer artists capital A Artists of Colour who are doing far more interesting things than I #far more thought out and engaged in these topics directly. i just kind of stumble into my art blindly and confused <3 #sorry that was a long tangent WHAT IM SAYING Is despite all that: i do consider myself a capital D Dysgraphic artist #i think its an unmovable constant of my art and the way i draw and the way my hands move. the untrained eye doesnt seem to be as aware #of it directly. but those who are familiar can probably see it. the dysgraphia LOL if not just from whenever i write a letter or number #half of them are busted and frantically fixed HDKJSDJDS but its in all my art. if u can see it <3 ive been trying to embrace it #dygraphic artists raise your pencils indeed!! and throw away the eraser!!! make the legibility of your words everyone elses problem!!! #what does that say? what is that sketch? none of my business! none of your business!! its the business of my hand and the pencil alone #motor skill and spatial issues take the wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel

[softened-hearts]

seeing someon being like "woww we did it guys. binders at target. *sighs* i hate capitalism" is honestly frustrating considering how inaccessible safe binding is if you can't order stuff online or from explicitly trans websites. back when i was in high school, i knew multiple kids who would be THRILLED to have these compression tops! yes, they're not as sturdy as a full binder, but they're a good in-between, especially for teens who gotta stay closeted or with unsupportive families! seeing this important step in accessibility for our trans and gnc youth get treated as cringe because it's a big corporation is infuriating. THIS IS SOME TRANS PPLS ONLY HOPES FOR ACCESSING SAFE AND COMFORTABLE BINDING. Don't let your anticapitalist ideals come before that, you fucking walnuts. Getting safe binders/compression tops into large chains is part of the GOAL.

#yes i know there's mail programs for free binders but that does not fit the criteria for mail being unsafe #or anything overtly a binder not being safe #im just fucking bitter. ppl talking shit abt the binders without even fucking looking into them #muhh capitalism bad selling binders in chain stores bad and performative shut the fuck up #I DONT CARE IF ITS PERFORMATIVE. TRANS KIDS CAN SAFELY AND DISCREETLY BIND #if you care more about your ideals than that fuck you you privileged reactionary prick #do you understand how quickly many of the styles sold out? BECAUSE THEYRE A GODDAMN NECESSITY AVAILABLE ON A WIDE SCALE FOR THE FIRST TIME #i stg as far as rainbow capitalism goes target is one of the best ones and i swear the amount of critique/hate i see pointed at them #SPECIFICALLY #is suspicious as hell to me. #like for the heinous ones you get an infographic but target? everyone's gonna clown on bc its trendy and umm totally activism!! #when targets the only one making the effort to get shit relevant and helpful to us too and hiring queer artists and etc #sharing alternative artists you can support directly = good! art is more of a want and there's not really much in way of ramifications #''ick binders from target are cringe and must suck and be unsafe but i havent looked into it tho. capitalism sucks lol' = bad. #wtf is wrong with you

Pros of doing Corperate Sabotage -fucks over corporations -costs billionaires lots of time and money -aggressively furthers social change -makes law enforcement look inept -lets you live out your rogue/vigilante/Tuxedo Mask dreams -Cute outfits Cons of Corporate Sabotage -you might be arrested or killed -Fox media will call you a terrorist

#i'm just saying #anti capitalism #enviromentalism #extinction rebellion #martyrdom? don't mind if i do #I don't have anything else on the calendar #For legal reasons all this is a joke and I do not support corporate sabotage

[hobartshobie]

i just need authoritarians to stop thinking they understand hobie

#if you support capitalism do not try and tell me you definitively know anything about hobie #do i think hobie would call himself communist? not particularly #does the argument that he wouldnt be just because 'the ussr existed in the 70s' hold any merit? no #hobie would not be an authoritarian leftist but there are many communists who incorporate anarchism into their philosophy #in its purest form (i.e. not in the ussr) communism is stateless classless and moneyless #just like the general premise of an anarchist society #communism has a bunch of sects (arguably too many) #though many anarchists stray from using the communist label a lot of them typically agree with marx and engels observations #ive gone on too long so i'll just say #tldr: communist ≠ ussr shill. get a job and read a book #hobartshobie rambles #hobartshobie praxis

nvm the americans in the notes going “i live in america you don’t want privatized healthcare” are normies and fine it’s the fucking americans going LISTEN HERE YOU FUCKS

americans stop pretending you’re the main characters in the story and eat my entire ass

#i want to have empathy for the story they gave but to start off like a total wanker talking down to us like ontarians haven #t been freaking out about this and talking about it over and over for years now is disgusting #we don't need you to increase the fucking font size and yell at us like we're children we fucking know we don't want goddamn privatized #healthcare jesus christ i hate looking at cdnpoli online bc americans never stop making it about them as if they're the only one #who have ever suffered from bad policy or some shit and the rest of us are dumb fools needing to be told by y'all #i Know. we all personally fucking know bc there's plenty of instances like the story in the notes having already happened here #this bill would just be another last push. he's already done so much damage and if you cared you would know exactly what and how #GOD i hate this but it's so frustrating to see americans make it about themselves as if i don't have enough trouble #every single fucking day talking to canadians about this shit. bc so many normie libs are obsessed with looking at america okay just #stop it. if we can shut up and support y'all during your political struggles by god you can try to do it for us #anyways i guess the vote offered doesn't even mean anything but idk why i thought there would be #there's actually no stopping it unless somehow ford got booted in the next day but that's not a thing #it's just capitalism lol. and fascism. bc he's already violated the charter and there's already brutality and capitalism demands more and #more. violating federal law some more to make sure the rich can devour our corpses some more is just inevitable

I unfollowed someone for reblogging an anti ai post, but their personal comment against it relied heavily around "work" and something about it really rubs me the wrong way, but I cant quite word why...

#personal #idk maybe the thought that the main reason ai is bad bc of work? ART... #i think the picture ppl have of ppl who use ai are generally supported by capitalism. why base ur need to defend art on work #like i get what theyre saying but its s capitalism issue. not ai itself #and idk something else. someone smarter than me knows #they also made a diff post saying anything made by humans has creativity and soul #and both of those two posts together really gave off vibes theyre one of those art insta/twit accs w 100k+ followers and making bank #(or at least parroting them) #i just think its so reactionary... these digital artists are saying exactly what traditional artists said abt digital art #and wild fearmongering in general while knowing nothing about it

Why do 99% of leftists seem to have never questioned their ideas around ownership?

Which is one of the most basic ideas to challenge and still I see almost everyone spread capitalist rhetoric and propaganda, including high profile/educated people

#like fuuuuuuuck. if something can be replicated and produced without you losing anything it ain't theft #oh no you lost an avenue to sell your shit to. are you aware that avenue shouldn't exist at all because it just makes people like part of a #greater machine built to exploit people? that you shouldn't want to be part of that machine? #stop pretending as if your ability to produce and sell is what justifies your or anyones existence. ok yes you lost that avenue but you #should be able to live even if it didn't exist. you aren't because capitalism sucks. so stop defending the avenue because you're by proxy #defending capitalism. the thing you said you hate and wanna oppose #you can't cling to your own privilege and safety and at the same time try to dismantle capitalism. your privilege is dependent on #capitalisms existence #mainly @ artists #i had to realize writer have the same brainrot painter drawers and like filmmakers and whoever else have #you're not entitled to our money. #if you work for Disney or Netflix I'm gonna become less willing to buy your shit or commission you. probably I'm gonna pirate #no I'm also not going to watch each episode of your show on the day they air instead of waiting until the whole season is released #just because it increases your chances of your streaming service investing in a second season of your shit #(also I don't pay for any streaming services so well) you should've started an indie production if you wanted my support

[oglegoggle]

I don’t get it. I do not fucking get it. Why the fuck am I expected to support those around me no matter the circumstance but it’s too much to handle when I need support? Where the fuck is my support????

#this is goggles #I honestly don’t even know what kind of support I really need #I’m just out here on my own shutting tf up and doing what I need to anyway #I would give anything to be held but that’s not on the table for me #I would give anything to get high and fuck but that’s not on the table either #I would give anything to just fuckin eat a sleep aid that will knock me out until Monday #ain’t gotta think about personal strife when you’re working #capitalism fuckin sucks like that but oh well I can’t change the world
