“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

The Ikea biphobia couch is the funniest thing that's ever happened. We found it gang. Nothing will ever top it in terms of being funny.

The what???

???

I don't know what to tell you man.

Yeah, someone explained this to me in DMs. It makes more sense now that I know it was an art installation thing by ikea and not an actual product for sale lol

I have never, and will never, use "ofc" to mean "of fucking course". It literally stands for OF Course...

that poll going around of the guy who thought "people only eat tofu as a bit because they're deranged vegans" or whatever really crystalizes something that i have never been able to precisely say - which is "a nonzero fraction of people who start picky-eater discourse just happen to precisely hate those foods which are not from north america and refuse to introspect on this whatsoever"

In contrast some people say "there aren't any picky eaters in Asia 🙄" but this is laughably untrue. I have a cousin in India who refused until his 20s to eat anything in a sauce. as you can imagine in India this was difficult. he basically had to pick things out of curry and wipe them dry

"of course you changed your mind as you got older and more mature" no. i changed my mind based on new information. if i hadn't learned this new information, i would not have changed my mind. if i had learned this new information 5 years ago, i would have changed my mind 5 years ago. do not act like "the wisdom that comes with age" is worth more than knowing factual information, and do not act like your concept of "maturity" is absolute truth.

Seriously though, the way some people treat liking media as if it has an expiration date is so weird to me. And three years is still so recent in the grand scheme of things anyway, actually!

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" "I asked Gemini" Ok, well I asked Professor Abraham Van Helsing(M.D., D.PH., DLITT., ETC., Etc.,), and he gave me an hour and a half long speech that was so full of metaphors that I don't even know what he was trying to say.

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

Happy pride month everyone

Good rule of thumb is the more people of different backgrounds you know, the harder it becomes to dehumanize them, so its a really good thing to meet people from different backgrounds, and anyone telling you that people from x culture or y country you really shouldnt interact with probably dont have your best interest in mind

Sometimes you log on to tumblr dot com and see your beloved mutuals thirsting over unrisen sourdough men and you have to say a very very quiet ‘pass’ to yourself and let it go because inevitably the flat circle of time will bring around your turn to go gaga over some butterface dude or bug eyed girl and you must know that your beloved mutuals are saying a quiet ‘pass’ to themselves and leaving you to your moment of insanity in peace.

if you build “community” around hating other people, just know that the second you step out of line—regardless of your moral uprightness or the hypocrisy on their part—you’re the next person they’re going to tear to pieces.

Thank you. I hope everybody thinks this

the natural lifespan of a fandom is unlimited. when well tended a fandom can be functionally immortal. and yet everywhere you look you see newly bred fandoms withering and dying when they’re barely a year old. barely even six months old. fans are looking at their six month old fandoms and saying i think it’s on its last legs, should i euthanise it? when with the proper care that fandom could outlive them for decades. it’s sad. sad state of affairs we’re in.
