relationships and jobs are temporary. your shitty unpopular tumblr blog is forever

whenever people try to act like harry potter being comfort media for them matters at all i'm just like. cool i also grew up with it, i also have incredibly fond and nostalgic memories attached to it. but i'm also a complex individual capable of basing my actions on more than just immediate comfort and enjoyment

i feel like this site's user base assigns way too much power and influence to modestly popular tumblr users. like people will talk about someone who has 7000 followers on here and no clout anywhere else like they're the nestle corporation. the 50th most-followed tiktoker in your city has exponentially more cultural cachet than the most popular weirdo on this place

the only real privilege of being tumblr popular is random people treating you like their personal dancing bear and/or worst enemy. there are engagement farms run by 19 year olds based out of portugal making five figures a month on twitter while the most embattled microcelebrity on this site has to e-beg to pay their heating bill in between shifts at sam's club.

seeing trans women out in public is like warm sunlight washing over me it genuinely brightens my mood

can't believe there are still people out here in the year 2023 that genuinely think aang should have killed ozai

"even avatar yangchen said—" that's not the POINT, the point is that aang is the LAST airbender the LAST air nomad the LAST person following these teachings, the point is that if he breaks his vows the air nomads will truly die out with him, forever. the point is that the monks taught him all life is sacred and even if ozai is a piece of shit who everyone agrees deserves to die, aang refuses let ozai force him to give up the last thing he has of his people, their lessons, refuses to let ozai wipe the last air nomad from the earth and finish what his horrible family started. the point is that aang beats ozai because his spirit is unbendable, the point is that he takes the man whose ancestors set his on fire and robs him of the ability to hurt anyone ever again, the point is that the Fire Lord ends the fight kneeling before the Last Air Nomad and THAT is the ending aang deserved

not many people know this but when talking about your multiple pronoun-using friend you build up a combo meter for every subsequent unique pronoun you use

for those unaware today india experienced one of its biggest protests in half a decade. there were protests all over the nation for various causes but the major one was in delhi. all we asked for was the resignation of the education minister because he's failed the students of this nation time & time again. but we were met with brutality, the police had barricaded the main site of protest (jantar mantar). metro stations were shutdown, the public was restrained from reaching the protest site and all the adjoining areas had signal jammers to make sure the crowd had no access to constant updates. they had us blocked from all the sides. they were lathi (baton) charging students from one side & releasing tear gas from the other. you couldn't walk 100 m on streets without having a tear gas shell thrown at you. there were many students, women & kids bleeding — some from their head. some couldn't walk anymore. the police had removed their nameplates & acted with full impunity to resort to unprecedented levels of violence. they were pelting stones at us, beating up people for no reason, forcefully detaining them and attacking us constantly with tear gas & rubber bullets. they wouldn't let you exit either. the crowd was peaceful & looking out for each other yet they were met with violence. i made a friend who was all alone & she asked to join me & my friend because a policeman wouldn't leave her alone. he constantly prodded her for personal info, invited her back to the jeep saying they have food there, wouldn't stop following her around. you couldn't call or ask anyone for help, we were left to fend for ourselves & be on a constant lookout if you did not want to be beaten up to death by police. all for what? asking a resignation? shame on this country.

This is such a comparatively small complaint with everything else tech wise but damn it sucks how much worse autocorrect/spellcheck has gotten in the past few years.

It’s really seemed to shunk in quality over the past six months or so. Part of it may be because my writing style has been described as… old fashioned, (I’m a classic literature nerd,) and lately I’ve been dealing with a lot of situations that require a more modern style, but still.

No, it's gotten noticeably worse as of late. Even voice-to-text is noticeably worse. Adding punctuation where it thinks you've ended the sentence, capitalizing words it thinks are Brands or Last Names. Not being able to handle even my slight accent (can't imagine how much worse it is for other people), and perhaps most infuriatingly, no longer being able to process words like "stop" or "dot" because it thinks I want it to put a period in the middle of a sentence.

And also the indestructibility of that woman's ankles

There needs to be a movement of people putting paint in fire extinguishers and super soakers and just covering every security camera that has been put up over the last forty years with paint or just pulling them down with like shovels and hoes or whatever they can do because honestly everyone hates them just get rid of them

This looks like a tool from the Billboard Liberation Front. I’ll bet they have a lot of other nifty tips that could be applicable in this case.

here’s a zine called blinding the cyclops about one person’s experience of going anti-camera. spoiler alert: it’s really fun

Reblogging this bc it’s making rounds again

Not every story is about seeing yourself in it. Sometimes it’s about learning to see other people too.
