Bee’s Little Rambles

whatever happens it’s so important that we’re funny about it. Above all else commit to the bit

Game where the ancient hero is awakened from the deathless sleep of centuries in the hour of their people's greatest need, only to find that civilisation is thriving and there are no obvious threats on the horizon; the game then becomes a fish-out-of-water detective sim as they try to figure out what woke them up, and also solve other, smaller mysteries along the way.

reallllly feel like some of you have to start understanding people are sometimes going to make mistakes and not understand something and not know things and it's going to slot them in a perfect place for you to scoff and call them problematic and evil and they're not even going to know why.

not everyone is chronically online, or online at all. don't act like everyone who's ever enjoyed harry potter is a cartoon villain, when most of them barely know who jkr is and definitely don't know what she's done, or know what the actual symptoms of schizophrenia are, or understand what a neopronoun is. like, yeah, okay, you can get frustrated when people don't listen or when they willfully ignore you, but don't pretend everyone on earth is supposed to know already. my life advice.

my friend is a cishet white guy who's entire knowledge of schizophrenia was "yeah that's the thing people have in horror movies that make them kill people." he didn't even know hallucinations were involved. after meeting me, he googled it. like, while we were hanging out, he pulled out his phone, took two minutes to read up on it, and went "oh, so it's like autism, but scarier for you." i told him about neopronouns, and therians, and objectum, and a bunch of other chronically online bullshit, and he nodded along. later he messaged me with a couple questions, which i explained, and he thought it was all very cool. he has a snapchat and an instagram, both of which are exclusively for hunting and fishing friends, he didn't even know why the r slur wasn't okay to say. im not saying you have to educate everyone you meet on the street, but for the love of god, you need to recognize when someone's actually trying to hurt you and when someone is just not really sure what's going on.

I've found that the more expertise someone has in their particular historical subfield, the more grace they display in the face of bad history. I think the desire to behave like Bill Maher stems from insecurity. I'm speaking from experience on both sides of that dynamic.

Theres a kind of performative incredulity that happens when you're insecure about your own knowledge. You see a take you kind of understand, but one that reveals some embarrassing conceptual gap. Like, "I don't know what this post is saying, therefore it must be dumb and gay." And then you get pissed off at the version of the post that exists in your mind. It's a great way to spend your time on line and grow your epic brain.

This happens a lot on Tumblr where like, any conversation on history here will get comments from post doctorate level shit posters and college freshman that barely know how to read. Very easy to think you're epicly dunking on a hobbyist, when you're actually just saying embarrassing mean shit to like, the worlds leading scholar on medieval medical technology that just happens to be shit posting on Tumblr.

is this the ORIGINAL?!???

oh holy shit i didn’t even know where this meme came from

OH MY ACTUAL GOD THE ORIGINAL

ORIGINALS ON THE ROLL

The internet has become so conservative and dumb as fuck over the past five years, it's honestly so tiring. We got niggas shaming mfs for *checks notes* using condoms with their partners because...*squints* If you're using protection, that means you're sleeping with multiple people.

Antiitellectualism is rapidly killing this country

And it's not even hard because our education system was already shit

your twenties are not "late" to start hrt. that is a normal time to start hrt. your thirties are also a normal time to start hrt. your seventies are pretty late to start hrt, but not too late. like, statistically, that's at the end of the curve. but if you are not dead, it is not too late for hrt.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

hey staff what the fuck

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

we don't actually need gender markers on our licenses and whatnot. we could just. do away with those entirely. i do not believe this would lead disaster.

The pokemon world's gotta be full of posters and PSA's that have like a magikarp and gyrados and say shit like "I'm not just a cute companion. I'm a 500lb commitment"
