I do think there's a thing we need to address about how often Trump voters / conservatives are treated as something out in the "real world" that people are avoiding, and liberals / leftists are framed as Overly Online. It's a thing a lot of people further somewhat unconsciously in a lot of left-wing political Internet spaces.
First off, this could not be less true right now. The current right wing quite literally got this way by being way too online! Even putting aside the infinite discussions about how Gamergate and 4chan created the modern alt-right. JD Vance and Elon Musk are way more out of touch with how niche their opinions actually are than your average campus activist. I mean, there literally are more people in the U.S. who agree with campus protesters about Gaza, massive numbers more, than agree with many of the things that Vance and Musk believe. And those guys are unaware of how weird they are because they spend all their time in Internet echo chambers, in Musk's case one he literally built to be that. The average Tumblr user is far more likely to be exposed regularly to political views they strongly disagree with than these people are when they log on. Second, I've talked about how political opinions are not evenly spread around the country. It is not that the U.S. is 50/50 liberals/conservatives everywhere you go. A lot of Democratic voters are concentrated in places full of other Democrats. If I did want to seek out Trump supporters to talk to, I am significantly more likely to find them online than I am by leaving my house in Baltimore. Third, and perhaps most concerning - I can't be the only one who sees echoes of "right-wing America is the Real America and the liberal areas are full of elites who are out of touch!" in this rhetoric, right? Again, I don't think people are (always) doing it intentionally, especially on Tumblr. It's an example of how deeply right-wing political narratives have seeded into people's brains that this comes up so much on left-leaning corners of the Internet.
But we must, must strenuously reject rhetoric suggesting that conservatism is more authentic, salt-of-the-earth than either liberalism or leftism. Starting with that it's deeply racist, for reasons I hope I don't have to explain. Second, because it's just not true. Third, it distracts from how left-wing policies help everyone, and conservatives can only maintain their power by lying through a massive propaganda network of TV and Internet.
Seeing discourse about this again (not necessarily on Tumblr which I've been less active on lately, around the Internet, but there are a few people on here who bring this up every once in a while) so just a reminder: "the candidate should fit the district" goes both ways. I see a lot of people who use this to mean "the Democrat who runs for an R+2 district probably shouldn't be a hardline progressive" and sure, but then those same people throw fits when a deep-blue urban district in New York or Boston or Austin or Portland elects a self-described socialist who has a history of criticizing Netanyahu or supporting defunding police departments and it's like... y'all, this is also a district electing someone who represents what they stand for. I get that some specific people on here who pretend to be pragmatic but at this point are just genuine centrists in terms of their own politics don't want to hear this, but progressives also deserve to have representatives who represent us. And people who are on the left are allowed to be frustrated with centrists who keep voting differently than they would vote on issues they care about, and an overly moderate candidate can be demotivating for a progressive electorate. It's fine for those voters to say "nah, let's pick someone who actually fits what we want in a representative." That's what voting is supposed to do!
Anyway, if you want to take issue with overly-extreme candidates representing parts of the country that are much swingier, the issue there is on the Republican side. There are lots of hardened MAGA in R+singledistrict suburban districts that could easily flip this year with some nudging. There's the Texas Senate race. Idk I think the idea of Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz being the representatives for a state full of minorities, progressives and liberals of all shapes, and immigrants should be the thing that's engaging you far more than Brooklyn socialists electing other Brooklyn socialists.
the most occidentalist cnovel I ever binged via MTL was about a chinese guy reincarnating into europe right before the black plague & teaching the savage europeans how to cook food and do agriculture and industry properly and inventing an innoculation for the plague and he wound up gay marrying the sexy young pope & collecting a really unreasonable number of magical animal companions along the way, including a tiger. the tiger's introduction led to my favorite author's note in the following chapter, which was basically "I've been informed Europe doesn't have tigers but I don't really give a fuck" ... that was kind of charming.
KICK THE CAN!

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

Sorry, Millennials, but recent paleontologist findings and hyolaryngeal apparatus reconstructions no longer support the hypothesis that "rawr" means "I love you" in dinosaur.
I made you a bibliography but I eated it :(

if I ever tell you “lmk what you think if you read/play/watch it!” I am firmly inviting you to send me a play by play minute by minute cataloguing of your thoughts about The Thing
the problem with personality tests and other similar quizzes is that they assume you know things about yourself. Which is simply not true
trying to play peekaboo with my child but he's a European diplomat:
me: where'd daddy go?
baby: we must articulate a post-daddy vision of strategic autonomy
me: peekaboo!
baby: my historic relationship with my father is stable despite recent troubles
when i'm five minutes late with dinner: truly this is a wake-up call for baby

Russian handwriting
I’ll forever be amused at the Russian word “deprived” (лишили) in cursive, which looks like
for people wondering how the hell that works
I still don’t know how the hell that works.
See, to me it looks a lot like ‘minimum’ in English cursive:
Ok not so bad right? But it gets worse…
Like… what even is this?
Can’t tell me that’s a word right? But it is! Sure you could dot the i’s, but would it really help?

Yes. Yes it would.
Wikipedia: Minim (palaeography)
Why the fuck would language evolve in such a completely illogical way like this
fuck every last bit of this
Humans invented writing as a way of communicating information and it’s pretty great on the whole but we maybe did not adequately prepare for depreciation in legibility
@official-linguistics-post ?
Wtf guys ten years
you want to be mommy’s adjective noun, don’t you, pet name? you want to verb and verb for mommy like a good gender
you want to be mommy's weird potato, don't you, Brian? you want to skip and somersault like a good jester
the spectrum of people reacting to a meme in a different language that has cognates with their native language where one end is "THIS CAN'T BE A REAL LANGUAGE BE SERIOUS 😭😭😭" and the opposite end is "humor that transcends language barriers 🤣🤣🤣"
