Teenagers are like that because every problem feels the same amount of Catastrophic. There's no sense of scale going on there cause they lack frame of reference. This isn't the fault of The Teenager but it does explain the Discourse Circles I was in when I was younger. Like it operates in both "blowing shit that doesn't matter WAY out of proportion" and "not taking Real Problems seriously enough". This is why dni banners are like that

I fear the only cure for this is to simply stop being a teenager. If you're an adult and still like this I hope you stop being a teenager soon

Maybe I feel intent on specifying this because it puts pornography on the same level as all other art. It can function as propaganda to reinforce or challenge an idea. It can successfully communicate an ideology. There is a difference between right wing and left wing porn. There is also a lot of ambiguous stuff in the middle. We generally don't talk about the essential danger of movies as a genre even though we understand they can communicate bad ideas or be interpreted against the intent of the creator. I wish we just applied a mundane, media studies lens to pornography. It's so difficult for us not to view porn and sexuality as something with a special power to radicalize or corrupt yet with no ideology of its own.

Some of y'all need to understand this isn't about blowing up countries with the giant red button, it's about abolishing tyrannical and oppressive governments that go by the names of the land they hold hostage.

Andor, generally, is great. A metatextually great thing about Andor is that it’s a great Star Wars product produced in the 2020s, which means that when they make a really shitty one it’s not possible for them to hide behind the idea that it’s just generally not possible to make good ones anymore. No. You could have simply made it Good, instead of Bad. But that’s not what you did. That’s not what you did

Nothing acts as a better accelerant for haterism than the ability to smugly point at something you actually do like as a point of comparison

Trans people don’t typically scream at people over being misgendered, so whenever a transphobe acts like trans people do that I just think “this is made up” or “what did you really do to get them to that point”

The people giving me sob stories about how you were so nice and theyre screamed at you: I dont believe you.

For context, this is Jewish actor Miriam Margolyes. A self-identified dyke,she was professor sprout in the harry potter movies but she's been extremely prolific over five decades. She's pro trans and pro Palestinian.

one thing I respect the hell out of is little kids lying down on the floor in public. they have had ENOUGH and are ready to go HOME and are willing to be a HUGE INCONVENIENCE about it. we can learn so much from them

still thinking about how much WORSE running errands is for kids. they aren't even your errands! sure it sucks for adults, but kids are 1) forced to tag along, 2) no personal investment in the outcome, 3) get no say on location, duration, timing. a kid stuck in a grocery store aisle while their parent gossips with an acquaintance is a Hostage Situation. at the bare minimum hostages should be allowed to lie down and get some rest

My oldest kid was especially intolerant of extra bullshit during errands. He wanted a list of where we were going, and would get irate about new ones being added to the list after we started. He called this rule “No Secret Trips,” with special contempt reserved for the bank.

i think your kid should be put in charge of a major government agency. i want him ruling the FDIC with an iron fist. i want him usurping total control over the Department Of Motor Vehicles

I’d certainly love if our government officials took fewer “secret trips”

its funny when "dogs like squeaky toys because it reminds them of hunting and killing prey" gets shared as this "creepy" thing when human toys are really the same. we made soft swords so we could pretend to fight to the death without actually gutting each other

Not seeing enough people relentlessly mocking Mark Zuckerberg for investing some $80 billion into the "Metaverse" and renaming his entire company after it only to have it shut down within 5 years because zero people asked for that. CEOs have been fired for far less. Completely laughable. I hope AI bankrupts him

Did you know nonbinary people who were afab and nonbinary people who were amab can have the same genders

Kind of the fucking idea that nonbinary people aren't their assigned sexes, innit
