The chill that never left your spine

There are SIX questions total in reblogs, the end will be marked by large green text. If you don’t see all six, check reblogs and grab the version with the ending note.

Answers amended from the 2025 census based on feedback. If you’re mixed, choose what feels right to you I’m not here to do phrenology or paper bag test you but don’t make it my problem either. When in doubt, ask yourself: would the whites kill you too in the race war?

This census is US-centric because so is tumblr, unfortunately. This poll is also starting with a heavy Black/racialized bias due to my personal followers. The main point of this census is to see how white-dominant the site is currently compared to prior years, as well

For the purpose of this census, Imperial Core will be defined as the following: United States, Canada, Australia, Aotearoa, basically all of Western Europe, Japan, and Israel. If you want to argue about any of these designations, too bad maybe they should stop colonizing.

Note for clarification:

*For those who don’t know, TMA means transmisogyny affected (such as trans women, some non-binary people, etc.) whereas TME means transmisogyny exempt (Cis men, cis women, transmasculine individuals, etc). If you want to ask for clarification for which applies to you for the purposes of this poll, feel free to ask and I’ll try to reply, but if you try to argue or quibble about the terms themselves, I’ll block you.

Pick a topic you like, and that's what you're going to read about. Set a minimum word count, and read until you get to it. Start small. Smart easy. First try, it might actually be agonizing.

That's it for the day. Just hit the word count.

Next day, read to the word count again. Read something new! It will be easier today.

And easier the next.

On top of being scammed, receiving accurate medical treatment relies on you knowing how to do your own research, and too many doctors take illiterate patients less seriously.

If you become a victim of a crime or are accused of a crime, you need to be able to read the papers a cop or lawyer puts in front of you. They can happily take advantage of your ignorance if you give them a chance.

This list goes on! Landlords, real estate agents, accountants, car mechanics, bankers, phone companies, customer service, contractors, childcare workers, e.g. any other human you rely on just to live your life will expect you to be literate and capable of making smart decisions. It is not their job to supplement your ignorance. It is not any well-meaning individual's job to make sure you paid attention in the same classes they did. And most of them know this and will not wait for you to figure things out.

This has been a common method for a long time in some states

It's a common corporate practice for credit card accounts to get cancelled due to lack of activity.

It's been very funny to see their notices progressively escalate from "pwease wemember to use ur Circle Card uWu" to "WE R GONNA CANCEL U ANY DAY NOW WE MEAN IT >:(".

By their timeline, that card should have been cancelled last year.

But no. Target just sent me a brand *new* card, and the emails have gone back to "pwease wemember to use ur Circle Card uWu".

But it shouldn't be surprising. I am 49, sure, but I have also been online since I was 14. Same as many other people my age and younger.

It's actually really convenient as a litmus test, to see which social media-isms and memes that person has aligned themselves with. For example, if a person is very steeped in 4chanisms, that's a red flag for me.

I wouldn't say it's surprising, quite, but more like a... ykw I am assuming you know about the fish-to-the-face reference. So it's more like a fish to the face. I see your blog and I'm usually expecting icon outfits, calm and collected and honestly admirable responses to online hate, and then this kind of credit card thing is a snap back to reality. Does that make sense?
