The Warthropian orbit got me

it should be illegal for things in drawers to accumulate dust. you were IN the drawer WHAT is your problem

too many people think fascism is just evil for evil's sake when its actually comfort and justification for your biases, so when they get seduced by it they deny being fascist because they dont see themselves as evil.

I know I talk about this a lot and it doesn't change anything, but people really have stopped reblogging art, commenting on fics, and really spend any time at all on anything that isn't yet another pointless discourse. and no, "I'm too tired" or "I don't know what to say" isn't a good explanation, because you guys seem to have enough energy for polls, shitposts and various internet arguments. can't you see that you're turning into mindless consumers. am I crazy

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

actually im doing really well except for the fact that everything makes me sad and the things that dont make me sad make me angry. but other than that im fine

"but I didnt learn about the usa's wrongs in school 😢 we don't know anything cause they didn't teach us anything 😢" well no one in my school in india told me that our country is a regionally hegemonic war criminal you're just entitled and insultingly uncurious

in fact they told us completely propagandised nonsense about how pre colonial hindu kingdoms were extremely peaceful but were forced to defend themselves against regular invasions solely by muslims. this is something v easily contradicted by the foundational story of ashoka's turn to buddhist dhamma being the brutality of the kalinga war.

the point being made is school, everywhere in the world is a deeply political project and is marshalled for the purpose of nation building. you're not going to hear about the sins of your nation in any serious way at school most anywhere in the world, and expecting that it should have betrays a certain lack of uhh, street smarts. its for children and run by the govt.

I am so thankful that books & reading exist

kind of obsessed with chivalry farseer. eats shit and dies to leave the bitter remnants of his polycule to raise his son. badly

there's a common belief that artists know how to make art. this is untrue. i've yet to meet a single artist who has any idea what they're doing

my futile wish is for people to understand that "sex scenes in movies/TV don't have to serve the plot and can genuinely just be for pleasure" and "sex-repulsed people are allowed to complain about how rare it is for media made for adults like them to be something they can enjoy completely" are both true statements. unfortunately society hates both sex and people who don't like sex, so everyone gets far too defensive about any sex or lack thereof in fiction to actually have this conversation

our idiotic ancestors used to believe stuff that's not true but luckily we've now figured out all the true things to believe in
