Destined To Explode

ah yes, the three genders: the broken, the beaten, and the damned

love when i’m drinking boba and i’m down to the last couple tapioca pearls and i’m picking them off one by one. love finding out who the final girl of this drink is going to be. but of course there is nothing that she can do against me because i am cosmic horror to the beverage. i am its god, and i think my horror is delicious

it’s interesting how wii channel music became shorthand for millennial existential despair. it was composed to be cheerful and quirky, but as the miis are symbolic of ourselves they inherited our agony

as someone who didn’t have a wii are you guys okay

twenty one pilots on a 2000s emo playlist are you insane

i sincerely think emos should start being absolute cunts and start gatekeeping emo same goes with any other subculture actually

there is not a single role chris pratt does that jack black couldn’t do better

at the people saying jack black couldn’t play star lord: why? no really, go ahead and tell me. I think I know the answer but I want to hear you say it.

there’s a difference between “being canceled” and “facing consequences” but there’s also a fine line between “facing consequences” and “deincentivizing growth and change” and i think that needs to be grappled with more. i’m not saying all mistakes need to be forgiven by everyone, but people who make mistakes are people, and if it becomes clear that not only will they will never be forgiven for their past, but that they will also be continually punished, then it’s a normal human response to grow frustrated and stop trying, and the holier-than-thou response of “well if they were really sorry, they would willingly accept all the punishments we throw their way” is stupid. what does pulling receipts up from 20 years ago do? who do these “gotcha” moments help?

it also isolates people and makes them more likely to join extremist and reactionary groups. connection and acceptance is a fundamental human need. so if someone feels cast out of their social circles because of something that they are told is irredeemable, they are likely to look for a group that will accept or even encourage that behavior. by holding people to impossible standards, you may be unintentionally radicalizing them
