So basically i was discovered as an infant at the bottom of a big sack of oats by an enterprising horse, who spared my life and trained me in the lost arts (falls into companionable silence for a few minutes) Can i ask you something

I spent 30 years as an email draft

with love. you have to fact check shit. yes you. you still have to fact check shit. a lot of people are great at fact checking stuff they don’t want to be true, but somehow are still absolute ass at fact checking stuff that’s rhetorically convenient to them. even people my age, who I KNOW grew up doing internet/bibliography literacy workshops, and being warned not to believe anything that isn’t reliably sourced, people who DO harp on fact checking conservative output or whatever, are still kneejerk sharing unsourced shit that is partially or wholly untrue or misleading, because it suits whatever narrative they’re pursuing in that moment, without even a “take this with a grain of salt”. fact check!!!!!! look at the sources!!!!! yes it’s a drag!!! do it!!!!!

a reminder that "you should probably fact check that" is not an attack on your beliefs. if it's true then you have nothing to lose from fact checking it. and if it's false? you have everything to gain from fact checking it

This site is also full of people who wish they were bullies in high school and are trying to fulfill that fantasy in their twenties

im all for haterism but some of y'all do it like it's a hobby and yet want to hide behind the thin veil of claiming it's legitimate critique

just saw the funniest thing on twitter where someone was broken up with bc they ate 7 croissants im CRYINGGGG
