Just Call Me Jo

there's something so deeply dystopian to me how tech companies don't understand that a forced convenience is not a convenience at all. i'm sure autocorrect is helpful for many, but a function that forcibly changes my actual written words and punctuation is taking away my language. photo filters can be nice but i need to choose using them myself or else i have lost the ability to take the picture i want. i don't want a machine to draw or write for me. taking away the option for me to do things manually feels like violence!!!! all this talk of endless opportunity, why are you RESTRICTING me

Everything should always be an option. Taking away our ability to choose how to use our own stuff is evil.

“i would’ve hidden anne frank!” you couldn’t even condemn the largest massacre of jews since the holocaust.

Mfs would have called anne frank a nasty ziokike settler colonialist lmao. "i WoUlD hAvE hIdDen--" Me when I lie

bro I AM a frank, of the frank German Jewish extended family. I got my hair damaged (through heat and salt) severely for it being curly by an anti-semite hairstylist who didn't like that my physical appearance contradicts the "white settler" canard just last week. they absolutely hate us. they looooooooooooooveeeee tokenizing me and telling me how they totally understand because "queer people were also victims of the Nazis its not all about Jews funny they only mention you uwu" and then I look them in the eyes and say, "sure, my great uncle was shot in the head in an SS basement and my grandfather almost didn't escape death as an 8-year-old boy who loved stuffed animals and bread with chocolate sprinkles", suddenly I am "so emotional" and "taking away from real discrimination and real marginalized people" and "let's talk about something else" and "well, gay people are in danger NOW so let's focus on them :)". For the record, I am also a lesbian lol. And my grandfather was one of my favorite people on this earth who doted on me since the day he died. and we share a birthday. He was absolutely obsessed with America, because he thought that his family would never face the horror he went through back in Germany as a little Jewish boy watching his father dragged away by the SS and his mother run after them. And I am somewhat glad he died before 2023, so he never had to see the cycle begin again. In America.

is there a name for this phenomenon, when someone has a bio like “i’m stupid and you shouldn’t listen to me, uwu” and lo and behold

A truthberry might make you tell the truth... But a lieberry? A lieberry will loan you books

legend tells of a mysterious being called “nuance” that allows multiple things to be true at the same time. some say you can still hear its voice whispering in the trees

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

:0

this blew my mind

Fun fact: most victims of men’s violence are other men. Women should objectively be less scared of men than other men.
