Stuck on rooftop

you may have noticed that my blog is disorganized and thematically incoherent and my tag game is weaker by the day. this is commentary on the chaos of modern existence

i have a lot of thoughts on the matter but i will say that fandom moving from semi-private blogs and communities to extremely public and algorithm-driven social media was a huge mistake that has changed fandom culture for the worse

It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.

'Look at all my stupid little figural bowls,' I say, in the warm, glowing tones of a woman showing off her firstborn child

tumblr is great bc its like a diary where I can take other peoples diary entries and glue them into my own diary

"you seem like you hate everything" I absolutely do we are living in utterly undignified times this shit is embarrassing at an existential level

as someone who studies this: statistically speaking, child abuse (including “spanking”, because all forms of hitting children are abusive) is pretty much equally prevalent in households of all racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. so yeah, don’t let people use the “culture” excuse on you, but also, don’t believe others are experiencing it less just because it’s less normalized in their culture to talk about it. we all gotta work together to fix this shit.

au where everything is the same except rocky is 4 inches tall and since he cannot reach any controls on the ship they figure out he can sit atop grace’s head and pull his hair to make him do stuff - we call it rockytoullie
