a bad blog i can't get rid of bc i've had it since i was 14

pls god where is the fourth of julie goodbye 2007 hello 2008

turning a big dial labeled "victim" on one end and "perpetrator" on the other back and forth and constantly looking back at the audience for approval

"they've had intercourse" "i know that i'm asking if they've kissed"

i fear we are never making it out of this alive because the greater collective of the human race is still struggling with "maybe we shouldn't openly and explicitly hate women" and the thought of managing to get to "maybe we should actually like and respect women" anywhere in my lifetime feels about as attainable as everyone spontaneously learning to fly

do NOT google "omega heat"

prayers for the people googling "omega heat" for the first time

Whatttt is with the tendency of Tumblr users to seek absolution from every single person who offhandedly posts about disagreeing with something they do

I say this not unkindly, but firmly: to function as a member of a social species, you have to get comfortable with the idea that not everyone will like you

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with relating to characters, “they’re literally me” etc but if that’s the only way you engage with stories you’re kinda missing the whole point of Characters being vehicles through which we can see perspectives outside of our own. and also you’re going to get upset when the Character acts in a way that is not Personally Relatable to You

if i was in the world cup well i would just score a goal Lol then if the other team scored one i'd score another

writing is easy actually. all you have to do is tell people what happened

the other thing about Internet dogpiling is that it is just not possible to think clearly during the acute stages. it’s so easy to criticize people for responding defensively or tactlessly to mass criticism but I cannot overstate the degree to which your brain becomes a rat in a trap. I think we do have to temporarily recalibrate our expectations in these circumstances and accept that they do not necessarily represent how that person responds to criticism. the skills for self-regulating and reacting to normal interpersonal criticism are not the same skills needed to respond to viral callouts.
