online buddy of mine (born in 2004) said “i strongly suspect the vast majority of ‘I'll always remember where I was on 9/11’ stories are not true. I simply don't believe that 75% of people were watching the news live at 8:45 in the morning on a Tuesday when the strangest thing happened.” and like. okay. we can talk about the aftermath in the 22 years since 9/11 and the horrific and evil jingoism that ruined countless lives in decades-long wars all we want. but i cannot overstate enough that 1) we still very much had a monoculture in 2001. most americans would watch either the today show or GMA. 2) as soon as that first plane hit every news station in the country was covering it. schools and businesses and break rooms turned on every tv. every radio. anything that had the ability to broadcast the news. (smartphones weren’t a thing. cell phones and the internet existed but they were new and fragile. unreliable. your best bet was still to sit there and watch. or listen.) and we all sat there and watched the second plane hit and the pentagon hit and the towers collapse and flight 93. so, yes: basically everyone who was alive and old enough to form lasting memories in 2001 remembers that day and the coverage. even people who weren’t near a tv or radio in real time remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. they probably even remember the reason why they didn’t hear about it in real time. i was 5 years old in my first week of first grade and i remember it. it was like. the biggest thing to happen in this country since fucking. pearl harbor. bigger. there’s no need to downplay that.

#personally: my school intentionally kept us in the dark and didn’t dismiss us so i didn’t find out until i got home #but we all knew something was up because it was a glorious september tuesday and they cancelled recess to keep us inside #and all of the teachers looked shaken and some kids were picked up by their parents. #i still remember the look on the face of the mom of one of my classmates. we would later find out that her dad (my friend’s grandpa) died. #but they didn’t tell us what was going on and i think they made the right choice. #didn’t want to traumatize thousands children more than necessary. i think they were right. #i still remember exactly where i was and how my parents told us though #and i remember all of the coverage after. all of it.

they should have recess for high schoolers too like come on let those teenagers blow off some of that teenage angst by going on the swings or something

#in elementary school we had this playground that fuckin ruled #and in middle school we did have an outside area but it was just a miserable little path of grass with a gaga pit a kickball place #and a shoddy basketball court (not enriching in the slightest) #and then in high school theres just like. no playground #no outside time no recess just misery forever #i feel like cattle just moving around from class to class yearning for the outside #let me out let me OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT #writing in my diary 📔

so I realized that around this time of the year is already past my 1 year anniversary of being hyperfixated on Rob?? time flies

this is the timeline of how it happened according to some vague memories:

1. i happen to see some random video of The Rerun on like, YouTube I think

2. me: hmm i think that one eyed guy is giving some real gender envy– wait. oh no. its happening. he's the new Chosen One, isn't he

3. im not hyperfixated im not hyperfixated im not–

4. I AM SO FUCKING HYPERFIXATED I LOVE ROB FROM TAWOG HE MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME!!!!!!

5. rob is a major part of my life and my headspace now. i couldn't stop if I tried, because some part of my brain views him as an actual close friend, and therefore abandoning this hyperfixation would feel extremely cruel. i would never do that to him and therefore he will be my imaginary bestie/adoptive son forever. i will never grow out of it. i am perfectly okay with that

#its always been gender envy that gets me hyperfixated on a character. like i dont think its ever been anything else lmao #and by his gender i mean the fact hes kinda just a Funky Creature Thing Whose Species We Cannot Quite Identify. that is the gender #this actually might be the longest character hyperfixation ive had so far... he really is the Chosen One #i used to watch this show when i was in elementary school but i didnt have access to every episode #so maybe thats why i have no memory of him from when i was that young? #or maybe seeing him in that video unknowingly gave me deja vu which is another reason why he initially caught my attention? #5 or 6 years later... the irrelevant forgettable side character from that one weird cartoon crawls out of the deep recesses of my brain #and ends up living in my head rent free #for over a year #and he shows no signs of moving out anytime soon #top 5 comebacks of this past decade-and-a-half (my life) #this is so weirdly poetic in a kinda fucked up but also funny way #wow this whole post is basically just me screaming “I HAVE AUTISM” over and over #rob tawog #tawog #the amazing world of gumball #tawog rob #dr wrecker

Guys

GUYS

Remember how Ashley Johnson was in Recess as a kid? And they made a feature-length movie?

Remember THIS scene?!

That makes Critical Role Campaign 3 the SECOND time Ashley Johnson has had to deal with a bad guy who wanted to mess with a moon during a major astrological event!

The parallels are actually uncanny:

Both villains:

Are petty, vengeful, and power-hungry,

Plan to get rid of something sacred (the gods vs. summer vacation)

Have beef with an authority figure the heroes are familiar with (Raven Queen vs Principal Prickly)

Are leaders of a secret conspiracy that is years in the making, one with potentially devastating consequences for the world beyond the scope of the plan (moving the moon during lunar perigee has the potential to not just get rid of summer vacation, but full-on send the world into another ice age).

Matt. Be honest. Was this whole Ruidius plan secretly inspired by Recess???

#critical role #bells hells #ashley johnson #recess #recess school's out #recess the movie #ruidus #the moon #apogee solstice #of corse the recess kids somehow managed to be more successful at preventing an apocalypse than a bunch of adventuring adults... #dunno what that says about BH #lunar perigee #Youtube #fearne calloway #gretchen grundler #parallels #critical role parallels

i think i might have low iron cause i almost passed out in the shower (this is the second time it has almost happened in the bathroom)

#blizz’s nonsense #thankfully i am okay 👍 but it was scarier than last time because i couldn’t get to my room and it was in the shower instead of when i got #-out #pretty sure it once happened at recess in elementary school lmao #in fourth grade

sixth day at my new school and i didn't sit alone at lunch today 🥳🥳

#woohoo!! #some girls invited me to sit with them so i did and chatted to them and this other guy #some of them are in my classes!! they were all very nice #honestly i was aiming to just try and fit in with the cishet boys and last week when i heard the rumour i was gay i was kinda freaked out #but i've scoped out the situation and it's not unsafe to be out (as bi. not anyone's business i'm trans) #so i realise it's better to just be open and have better chances of finding the right people than living in fear and squashing myself to-- #--fit in with the wrong people. bc if i can't be fully myself around someone then why would i want to be good friends with them?? #so yar i'll stick with other queer guys and supportive girls. gay guy/straight girl friendships are stereotypical but it's an ecosystem tha #works in a situation like high school tbh #ooo and i guess he was away today but the guy from a couple of my classes who i think is cute is in that group so added bonus #o and actually unrelated but at recess i went to this queer group thing i was invited to by a teacher last week #(recess is first and lunch is sceond) #i wasn't sure if i was going to go (mostly bc of my 'blend in' mindset) but i'm glad i did!! it was pretty nice #mostly just nice to get an idea of 'safe' people and teachers yaknow #'people and teachers' -- those aren't two mutually exclusive categories of being ajdsgjf but ykwim #and if i didn't go then i probably wouldn't have been in the better mindset for being just myself with everyone at lunch #so wahoo yippee :D #now i just needa keep talking to everyone and putting myself out there a bit more and i'll find the right people :)

Fuckin wild to me that Aqualad in 60s Teen Titans just straight up did not have a name. Like, his name was just Aqualad. Imagine your name just being Landkid, that’s what Aqualad is going through.

#aqualad #dc #teen titans #60s teen titans #the inane ramblings of a madman #i think his name later on is garth or smth #idk his name was just aqualad for like a decade #aqualad has no civilian identity #he goes to school as aqualad #he has to jump into the ocean every hour so he doesn’t die #aquaman going out of his way to help aqualad get into a school was very cute tho #and it’s a school that inexplicably has recess every hour #school in the 60s was corker

english used to be the normie filter & how you could tell someone was a Trve Internethead but after the DAMNED 2020 quarantine for obvious reasons EveryBody & They Momma is acceptably fluent so now i have to learn swedish or something. -_-

#already been spending time this past year & a half i only need someone to actually speak it with IRL for maximum efficiency #technically i want to say 2019 people were already turning to english at least in my city. 7 year old me would be so happy but #ARRRRRRGHHHHHHH #YOU ARE POSERS I HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH YOU & I NEVER WILL. has me feeling so ♯DECEIVED #native english speakers will probably never understand this feel #speaking english now is just as cringe as i thought being francophone was a decade ago Yes even as a child i was against normies #i was forcibly taught.by my millennial older brother i had no choice but to abide by that line of thought & so here i am today #well he was right. not anymore he ain't but he used to be #but technically you can say this new wave of self taught anglophones are going against the current & remnants of colonialism so well #it is a good thing objectively i just miss the ease of recognizing Real back in the day TT_TT like you just KNEW they shared your interests #& weirdness they knew your references it said something about what their social status likely was too ETC ETC. But not anymore... #i enjoyed it tho i had a bestfriend whom i mostly spoke english with & we were known for it we were outcasts #i distinctly remember this fag who got so mad at us & harassed us for it during middle school recess. like fluency was a bad thing #we were not even gossiping about him Altho we should have been. & that was the best part is that it was a barrier #so you could talk about anything out loud & nobody would be able to understand you & at the time it was just us & our older siblings #+their friends

My fellow zillennial. It's come to my attention that Gen Alpha is apparently making aesthetic tiktoks romanticizing 2020, like they want to be a teenager during that time??? Like no? You don't? I can't even begin to start breaking down how bad that year was in every category. McDonalds apparently now has "standards" yet another rubbish thing to add to the "college degrees make you overqualified with zero experience sorry you can't get this entry job" bucket. And Lunchables news reporters are like 30 years too late to be writing an expose on the toxic levels of metal in that.

people were dying????? we were in a state of panic and isolation???? schools were struggling with the switch to online only classes????

do we all remember the BLM protests and the tips on how to keep your face hidden and how to stay safe from getting maced???? do we remember the pushback against it??? calling on botched stats???

do we even remember the fucking US election???? how heated it got???? how much distrust republicans tried to seed into mail-in ballots?????

and then literally January of 2021, the US legislative house gets stormed in, Texas has a freeze so bad our gridlock shuts down and PEOPLE DIED FROM THE COLD WHILE EVERYONE ELSE MOCKED US FOR FREEZING!!!

2020 was not a good year. it is the furthest from a a good year, but it sure as hell emphasized a motley of issues the world had going on (tho i’m more versed in the US issues bc i live there)

#i’m gonna go ahead and hope gen alpha is romanticizing it because that was a year they were still very young #like year your spring break turned into a spring month and you got to spend so much time at home!!!! awesome!!!!! #why do you think that happened???? seriously i would like to know #this is secondhand information but i would like to know why that year and not idk 2018 or 2013 when frozen came out??? #tbh if i ever romanticize the early 2000s it’s because that was when i was a child and knew nothing #i didn’t know what a recession was or that airplane security was never like this ten years ago #i never thought to wonder why it took my dad years to become a naturalized citizen #or why some friends of mine faced discrimination i was ignorant to #or why so many new students joined my class after Hurricane Katrina #i was young & i was ignorant & i never questioned shit & all i knew was that Avril Lavigne was awesome and high school musical was my dream #tbh idk what about 2020 looks so desirable because all i remember was dread and panic and being so fucking lonely #i just hope it’s a desire they’re making out of nostalgia for when they were still unaware about what was going on bc i do get that #but saying that 2020 was the year you want to live as a teen????? as an adult????? #no sir #nuh uh #that is NOT the year you want to relive at that age i assure you #asks #gen alpha i suggest you pick 2012 bc even tho there was talk of an apocalypse it actually never happened and looking back it’s kinda funny

[nappingpaperclip]

honestly I’m fucking tired of calling my reps and begging them to care

I’ve been calling them over and over and over for the past four months begging and pleading them to speak out about what is obviously genocide

I don’t think they listen, most likely their underpaid interns got instructed to throw notes or voicemails out, but even if they do they don’t fucking care. It’s exhausting.

The White House comment line is only open for 4 hours 4 days of the week during hours most people work. If you’re able to call and wait for 20 minutes to finally speak to an intern they take a brief note and you can only hope they don’t immediately throw it out.

I’ve been doing this since I was a child. begging my reps to care about children being shot in school. begging them to care about my own schools getting bomb and gun threats every year. begging them to care about the fact that people don’t feel safe around cops. begging them to care about the growing number of people in my city becoming jobless and homeless and dying of covid. begging them like a dog to care at all about people’s lives and happiness.

I don’t know. I’m just fuckin’ tired

I won’t give up though. It’s not the only form of activism I do or the main one I give my energy to. I hope the same thing for anyone reading this. You shouldn’t just be boycotting and calling your reps, you should be attending vigils and protests and speaking about the issue of genocide to your friends and family

I’m just tired of people pretending like our representatives actually give a fuck what we think over their lobbyists and investors cause it is and has always been clear to me that they don’t. America has never been a democracy and if you think that you are deluded.

#vent #don’t take this post as permission to give up 👍 #tomorrow I will be calling my reps and playing for them the recording before Hind’s death. I heard it so they will too. #I’m just tired of being told to call my reps whenever an atrocity happens. like they will ever listen #I’m not on the right tax bracket for them to listen #.txt #after the Parkland shooting I participated in a school walkout organized by high schoolers all across the country #a political club at my school had a table to write letters to our reps about gun control. very nice and I of course wrote one #I just wish it would have been read and not immediately thrown out you know #I was in 1st grade recess when I learned about the Sandy Hook shooting #at least when you’re a kid politicians pretend to care about your opinions. #when you are a kid you’re told that your voice matters and that young people should speak up more but when you’re an adult you suddenly #aren’t old enough or mature enough to understand #your thoughts experiences hopes dreams and feelings don’t matter until you’re 35 I guess and even then it will always be something #they only care if you have money to give them

[orthopoogle]

children still deserve breaks even if they're disrespectful. you're so embarrassing

Kids can take a break by sitting in the office if they’re going to pop off in class. They don’t get to play with their friends if they’re going to play around in class and scream at nothing and disrupt the lesson for the other kids and then start yelling out cuss words when told to sit down and stop making a scene. Go cry about it somewhere else.

#if my child pulled any of this at school I myself would be telling the teacher to sit his butt out of recess

[walls-actual-ly]

my brother just came back from a school skying trip and it made me think about some slight cultural differences between Germany, and lets say, the US

my brothers friends found booze that someone forgot/left at the hotel, told the teacher, the teacher took the beer, drank it and left the vodka for the kids

they had a party and everyone over 16 was permitted to buy alcohol

one teacher stopped taking his medicine a few days prior so that he could get wasted with the kids

the teachers assistent invited my brother and his friends on a beer

one of the teaches was so drunk he danced on the tables

some kids invited other guests from the hotel to join them.

one of the kids (17 yr old) apparently kissed one of them, a lady in her 50s?

#germany #german schools #when I was a 10th grader our teacher told us that we can drink alcohol as long as we dont throw up on the bus later lmao #when a teacher caught some of my friends smoking weed during recess they only told another teacher who told the kids to “not do it again” #sure put some Jägermeister into your tea for the field trip #fill your juice bottle with wine and nobody will notice #drinking games in the last row and you better believe we looked highly suspicious #although one of my friends got into trouble once bc during another skying trip she passed out in the snow and wasnt found for a bit #back then I thought it was about the alcohol and not that fact that she could ve fucking died on a school trip bc she was too drunk
