i think people really under sell the physical side effects of mental health disorders sometimes. like sure the depression and anxiety may be 'just in your head' but when what's in your head happens to disrupts your sleep schedule and prevent you from going outside regularly and eating consistent meals and exercising and generally taking care of your body. well it sure takes its toll huh.

i should rewatch death note <- this is how you know it's bad

i'll always make fun of how stupid the "born evil baby" trope is but truly it is such a wretched trope i hope it dies forever

it's like the perfect package of "child you are allowed to harm" and "easy way to not interrogate how commonplace child abuse is". thank goodness this child was simply born wrong, we never have to examine the conditions they grew up in.

There's an attitude I've been seeing more and more of where having any kind of artistic opinion that isn't praise is seen as some kind of faux pas designed to yuck people's yum or whatever, and while I understand the kneejerk response behind it I do have to wonder like. How sustainable do you think it is to foster an environment where even the most casual criticism is met with hoards of defensive with Whoa Mama Mia Cunt Let People Enjoy Things style comments

OK so yes feedback is necessary specifically in art but I have seen people just be full on mean or unnecessarily harsh. There's creative criticism and then there's just being a dick for the sake of it.

also no one says it but the punchline of "trans inclusive misogyny" is almost always the implicit assumption that transfeminine people do not actually experience misogyny in our day-to-day life. thats why its considered humorous and acceptable to do, rather than just being. misogyny against women.

Remember this every time someone says "I don't like TMA/TME" or insinuates that trans women discussing how we're affected by misogyny within the queer community is "infighting" or "discourse." Their argument isn't that they think there is a better framework or that we're actively harming men through bioessentialist hate or whatever the lastest framing they've come around to is, it's that they think they have the right to speak over and down to women because deep down they think trans women aren't actually women in an actual sense, only in a rhetorical one for PR's sake. They think we're narrarively women, not that we experience life as women.

maybe grad school has just desensitized me to what regular people think is difficult or boring literature but I'm like 60 pages into this giant 19th century novel and I'm having fun so far. tell me more about this irresponsible bastard tying a cop to a bear and throwing the both of them in a river

can everyone get woke again. I miss her. I miss woke.

and by woke I mean aware of racism. the original meaning. don't do stupid bullshit here. woke = aware of anti-Black racism . ok

love when someone unironically posts some shit like "bring back cucumbers" they went away??

no but seriously bring back cucumbers

I’m more than a little concerned at seeing recommended tumblr communities with names like “queer teens” or “nonbinary teens” and advertising themselves as a space for teenagers as young as 13 to make friends with each other. I don’t wanna sound like anyone’s dad here, but this is… not safe. Anyone can join those communities, they’re not private unless you make it private. You can’t trust that everyone in there is actually a teenager, so please don’t advertise your age or other people’s ages like that in online spaces. You can absolutely make private communities or discord servers with trusted friends, but not public communities that anyone can join, especially if those communities are specifically targeted at marginalised— and therefore vulnerable— teenagers.
