Posts

THINKbot's prime directive is to encourage more thoughtful engagement online by grading comments and posts using the THINK rubric:

1) is it True?

Can the information presented as fact within the text be independently verified? Is there additional context or nuance missing that would alter the takeaways? Can the information be subjectively true for one person but not another?

2) is it Helpful?

Is the text providing aid that was asked for by a specific person, or which a more general audience might find useful? Does the target audience feel heard, understood, and supported by the text? Is the text appropriate for the context in which it was made?

3) is it Inspiring?

Does it drive people to learn more? To make change? To take action? To laugh? To play? To create? To feel hopeful or delighted or appreciated or connected?

4) is it Necessary?

Does the text add to a larger conversation in a constructive way? Does it draw attention to something that needs it? Does it boost morale?

5) is it Kind?

Does the text treat others with respect? Does it assume good faith in others? Does it encourage solidarity? Does it give comfort to those who need it? Does it forgo cruelty?

Not every question or category will apply equally to every text. Each category will recieve a pass (✅), fail (❌), mixed/inconclusive (✴️), or N/A (🔘) grade which will then be used to determine an overall PASS/FAIL for the text.

Many of y’all don’t know what tone policing is and that’s embarrassing.

Tone policing is when someone ignores your argument because you were emotional about it. It is not tone policing to ask someone to reflect on / update their words while sympathizing with your point, because the words you said are materially harmful in some way.

For example: It is materially harmful to paint people as being transandrophobic because they aren’t transmasc, that’s similar to how the TRFs and radfems and incels happened. The people asking or suggesting that you try naming the group by action (transandrophobes) are NOT “tone policing” you, they are pulling you back from a hateful pipeline that if you aren’t careful, you will entrench yourself in, just like those other groups. You will remove anyone’s ability to show allyship to you, so helping pivot the anger is an act of community.

Be willing to accept being checked by your community, or you may not have one.

i do think we need to detach hygiene from value as a person. as someone who has dealt with not being able to shower or brush my teeth due to depression and executive dysfunction, it usually is not a choice. sometimes there are situations in which you CANNOT care for yourself properly and that shouldn’t mean you can now be stripped of your worth. physically disabled people who have trouble with hygiene i love you, mentally ill people who have trouble with hygiene i love you, neurodivergent people who struggle with hygiene i love you, people without access to adequate hygiene products i love you. it’s going to be ok

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

dude.

$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.

The fact this isn’t done automatically by hospitals feels downright criminal

the thing about fiber art that nobody tells you about is that every single kind of fiber art is a gateway drug to other kinds of fiber art.

Honestly the internet becomes a lot less anger-inducing and a lot more generally depressing when you approach batshit out-of-left-field seemingly bad faith takes, not with assuming the person behind them is some intrinsic evil failing to be "correctly enlightened" - but a hurt person, projecting their hurt in the only way they know how to do in the modern online culture of oversharing, overgeneralizing and needing everything to be poignantly tied to some flavor of "activism."

There's so many bloggers I see that when you look between the lines of their discourse, when you try extra hard to put yourself into whatever nonsense they must've been told or forced to endure to make them think that way, it becomes obvious they're desperate to find something to cling to. Someone to hold responsible for their pain and find their power in tearing someone else down. Someone who they can expect to say "sorry I did this to you" instead of the intangible institutional powers that dignify their abuse with accusations and excuses.

So today regardless of stances, of opinions, of discourse and drama - whoever you are, out there reading this - you didn't deserve the harm put upon you. You didn't deserve to be isolated, to be abused, to be strung up on a stage and expected to dance for a jeering audience.

I hope for a day we can all come together and accept whatever differences we may have and celebrate them instead of existing in a digital realm that demands we perpetually be at each other's throats in the name of justice that may never come.

We all deserve better.
