how do i put this. I think it's important to take some responsibility for the state of the world. I think it's also important not to feel guilt over it. That you are obliged to take some responsibility does not imply that you are guilty of something; it's just a matter of being an adult human being in society. The responsibility is to act to change things for the better on the basis of your actual ability & capacity. Guilt for things you did not do does not help you in that.

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.

settlers are always so enthusiastic about ''foraging'' and then you'll start talking to them about indigenous horticulture & sustainable harvesting practices and they quickly reveal that they're more interested in the aesthetic of being a Crunchy Woodland Creature than like reducing their reliance on exploitative industrial agriculture or rebuilding their local foodshed

This seems like a take from someone who is looking for fault within people. It’s very likely that they were on step one of a foraging journey and you, in your eagerness to connect, gave them pressure and information overload from someone on step nine or ten of their foraging journey. Let people be new at things and don’t pressure them to go all in too quickly. Sometimes people start with the crunchy woodland creature aesthetic and develops into an indigenous horticulture hyperfixation. But it’s never gonna get there if you try to force it or shame people for being new and inexperienced.

this is a take by an indigenous woman tired of settler foraging destroying the world I live in. don't tone police me with your "let people enjoy things" bullshit. "trying to find fault within people" stfu and go back to self help tiktok.

"don't pressure people to go all in" and the "going all in" in question is doing the bare minimum of research into real sustainable foraging practices rather than repeating useless overgeneralized rules-of-thumb

pedophiles on here always try to hide behind the argument of censorship, particularly the idea that "uhhh why cant we talk about really serious subjects!! should we just remove anything negative from things??" and its like u guys arent making and consuming pedophilic content to have an intellectual conversation about the darkest, most horrific subject imaginable. ur doing it to get off. be so fucking for real.

"purity culture" "oh so we cant talk about any dark subjects?? we cant write about anything?? guess ur going to jail for writing about murder in that case lol!!" ur getting off on the fucking thought of kids in sexual situations. theres no "discussion", ur just getting off to it. idgaf if its "behind closed doors", thats fucked up and u cannot be shocked and frustrated that people think ur a nasty person who shouldnt be in contact with kids. "purity culture", u people love to throw a tantrum about purity culture just because a person said to u its disgusting that u make and consume content depicting children in sexual situations. ur the freak for doing it, ur not oppressed for being a piece of shit. lol.

i dont love anyone except killjoy feminists

Unironically I think the early to mid 20s age group in America has unbelievably bad consent boundaries on all levels and so much language to defend it but this makes me sound like elon musk if I say it however the commonality of someone who will be like “I had 47 panic attacks and it’s your fault” if you tell them no is insane

I rejected someone and got called “the scariest person I’ve ever met” with so much therapy speak interspersed like alright okay alright okay alright okay

“You just say whatever you’re thinking and I don’t know how to handle it” was verbatim part of this conversation. Also everyone hates to see an autistic bitch

im busy doing angel activities

i am proudly in favor of futch erasure that's just a femme in pants
