Randomness

the way people are somehow getting burned out from constant exposure to different crises on the internet without having a good understanding of a single one of these crises…

also you can’t be more sick and tired than actual activists and organisers who have been dealing with these crises irl for years even decades now lmao

especially if you’re middle class and able-bodied and white (or a non-Black poc, if we’re talking about anti-Blackness specifically) you don’t really have a right to complain about mental/spiritual fatigue from seeing these systemic problems highlighted on your feed bc it literally does not compare to the lived trauma that the oppressed peoples in question experience. yes you should attend to your mental wellbeing yes social media tend to get oversaturated with certain stimuli yes it’s important to understand that you can’t possibly know every issue or be responsible for all of them, but. let’s not pretend like most of us have been engaged enough socially & politically online to warrant “rest” from said engagement lol. let’s not pretend like we’ve been doing activism when the extent of our efforts has been spreading a post here and there and reading tweets or 2 paragraphs about these issues. like i know for a fact that you people don’t spend your free time reading essays and nonfiction about social justice & history & politics or thinking critically of the media you consume so there’s no legitimate reason why you “need a break” from something you’ve never properly participated in

[ID: tags by @/vilethot that reads; you're so right dez it's insane, like I remember someone talking about how they're sick of hearing about BLM and Palestine, and I'm like YOU'RE getting sick of it?? people have to live through these horrifying ordeals that you can't even begin to comprehend, but yeah I bet you're feeling Uber tired from retweeting the latest crisis post that you didn't even read, just reblogged it because "oh well it says help so I guess that's good enough", people will know like the absolute lowest tier of a problem and then say "wow can't talk about this anymore I'm feeling anxious", when they can't even hold a conversation on what has happened to those people. /End ID.]

I just think it's important that Tumblr knows a man is cosplaying as the Ever Given and is blocking doorways at Dragon Con 2021.

conspiracy theory: people on other social media sites keep saying tumblr is dead so they can mine us for resources without anyone else going to the source

half the comments on any given tumblr screenshot post are like "wow I miss tumblr, shame it died" and the screenshot is from, like, last tuesday
