It should not be that hot that far north.

Buildings and traffic lights are melting, I can only imagine what the power grids must look like in some cities considering the hoards of people hooking up AC units to their home, and most importantly, people are dying.

These two posts sum it up perfectly. The problem is not the heat in measured degrees, Fahrenheit or Celsius. The problem is that it is that hot in areas where neither fauna, flora or architecture are made for that type of heat, because it shouldn’t be that hot in that area.

Yes, I’ve included fauna and flora. Because yes, it affects the vegetation and our wild animals as well, and yes, they’re suffering and dying as well. They just can’t talk about it on Tumblr.

Frankly, the number of posts I’ve seen where the motivation seems to be sheer pettiness, usually along the lines of “people can’t take a little heat, haha” or “why don’t Europeans just build AC, so stupid” is silly. If you want to get back at Europeans for some real or perceived slight in the past, make it about something that isn’t a global problem for all of humanity, and, might I remind users on the website where many pride themselves on standing up for minorities and oppressed populations, disproportionally affects people in areas that are traditionally struggling with poverty:

Very few people with common sense are not aware that it’s much hotter in other places on the planet than it is in Europe at present. I’m actually not talking about the US, thank you. Try the African continent, India or any place located around the equator for that – and guess what: these areas are also being affected by increased frequency in heat waves. They’re also struggling. Except there’s probably a much smaller percentage of them on Tumblr, where the people gleefully making fun of Europeans are hanging out. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

Until very recently, Europeans have not needed AC. Because the temperatures, yes, even in Spain and Greece, were rarely so high for so long that it would have made sense to plan for it. Since the industrialisation, Europe’s infrastructure has been designed to deal and handle with the range of temperatures that are normal for Europe. This includes housing, transportation, agriculture and power supplies. AC would be, as US citizens would say, “putting a bandaid on a broken bone”. It addresses the problem on a temporary basis and does not do anything to solve the problems Europe is now facing.

And that, I would like to believe, is also common sense, that if you live in a place where heat isn’t an issue, you do not design your infrastructure and houses around heat. You design them to deal with the climate that is normal for that area.

She is not that.

She is Elon Musk. She is Trump. She is a powerful monster with the money to end lives.

Giving her money and creating a demand for her books by engaging in fandom should be seen the same way owning a cybertruck is seen. Harry Potter gear is in the same category as MAGA gear.

I need to see the same disgust and outright hatred of her that I see about all the evil men in her category. I don't know if people see her as less dangerous because she's a woman or if people are worried that hating on a woman will get their feminist card revoked, but she needs to be taken more seriously by a lot of people. She's a big name heavy hitter with more money than anyone should be allowed to have.

You WILL love this person. It doesn't matter who you loved before; any feelings you had, any promises you made, they will become inconsequential as soon as you lock eyes with the stranger Fate has picked for you.

There's no way to stop it.

There's no way to say "no."

You will meet someone and with a single glance, both of you will become someone new, someone who's now bound to this stranger whether you like it or not, want it or not.

'Imprisoned'

here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

I was curious if you (and any of your followers) could give some examples of that? Like things that white people don't notice because they think of it as "default". Especially for how it could show up in non-white characters written by white people.

Thank you

I actually feel I should retort to this with go actively read some books by Black authors about Black characters. Then go back and read some of your favorite books with characters presumed white but never actually stated as such, and tell me if you don't see the difference.
