redemption lies plainly in truth

you are a regular guy you can handle a situation

I kind of miss the impulsivity that certain spaces used to allow. oh you want a hair cut today? hairdresser in the corner can fit you in before her 2 o’clock. tattoo of a cobra… sure leg or arm? even concerts, back when you could go to the box office thirty mins before any show. not saying these things don’t exist at all, but everything feels booked five months in advance and 10x more expensive

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa

does the body ALWAYS have to keep the score? maybe we could just have a friendly game this time. maybe we can just have fun without putting numbers on it

my hot take is that tumblr should have a bookmark function as well as likes

we'll never be the new pdf at this rate

just watched an interview with james ortiz (rocky’s puppeteer) where he’s like “they were torturing ryan gosling for this movie. it was killing him. he was developing isolation sickness in real life from being the only actor on set for 6 months. i needed to be there for him even when rocky wasn’t in frame to serve as his guiding light and the sole thread tethering him to the concept of love. i was kneeling at the altar” and what

to be honest im really sick of the fact that fat people are supposed to suck it up when other peoples worst fear is looking like them

maybe the most evil example of lavender liberalism was when i met with an artist and she told me was working with some local lgbtqia+ orgs because the pride displays every year were getting vandalized , their solution was making an artwork with a high enough material cost that vandalizing it would hit the offender with a felony charge

not very leftist of yall to be trying to promote the prison industrial complex. i get it, pride art is important, but isn’t the vandalism a part of the art itself? that the crime of existing as you are and wanting to do so visibly can attract such contempt from others? isn’t that the social commentary in in of itself? idk man. i think trying to get people charged with felonies for doing the same thing you’re doing (which is expressing an opinion, however wrong theirs is, however hateful theirs is) is kinda fucked up. like can we stop ? can leftists please stop trying to put everyone they don’t like in jail? leftist and right wing venn diagram starting to look like a circle

I keep trying to type a response to this but I can’t because I’m floored by the bit that goes “hey why don’t you consider the artistic merit in being hatecrimed for existing”

do you want homophobes to face consequences for destroying your property for *checks notes* existing as gay… um didn’t you know that’s basically as bad being alt right. horseshoe theory or whatever. I am very smart.

It's not just rude to make me read something you didn't want to write. It is that you expect me to respond to your email written by Claude. You don't even want me to talk to you. You want me to talk to Claude so that you can make Claude respond for you. It is rude to expect me to talk to a chatbot when I wanted to talk to you.

And they’re all Vlad

What other sites fail to realize is that tumblr is prohibition era america for porn. You can't barge into any search function and go asking for it, but if you know where to go and who to ask it's absolutely still being provided. It's grown over the past years so much that these days you can't step into a taxicab without being offered porn by the driver
