Extra cooler spot!

THIS IS SINOPHOBIA.

And they’ll STILL call you the model minority / white-adjacent 🤓

everyone needs to get weirder, yes, but also get kinder. get more supportive. get more loving. be good to your fellow fans, especially the creatives who give you art and gifs and fics and fancams and and and. treat each other well because on tunglr dot hell, we are all neighbors. and neighbors look out for each other

Don't donate to World Central Kitchen because even after their members were murdered by Israel, the founder Jose Andreas still collaborated with Israel and recently they served displaced Israeli settlers bombed by Iran and Hezbollah

Happy asexuality day #NoSex

if men r just biologically “like that” it fully removes the blame from them, it places the burden of expecting better on women bc if men “can’t help it” itd be like getting mad at a dog for licking its ass, “well hes a man ! u cant expect him to treat others as people hes just a man!” its just another way of coddling them, if men cant be held accountable for hurting women then it becomes the fault of women for wanting better, denying a man his personhood just allows him to never have to do better …

if trans women are only welcomed to sports on the condition of mediocrity then we arent welcome to sports

at some point people lost the plot and went from "trans women have no unfair biological advantage in sports, and attempts to paint the situation otherwise are clearly a fig leaf for transmisogynistic discrimination" to "trans women actually never win at sports they're weak and unthreatening and won't take away medals from AFAB athletes"

There's a common pattern to any transmisogynistic harassment of athletes, where people well say "Oh they only performed middlingly. why are people so upset" which not only implies that this harassment would be justified if she had won, but also misunderstands the reason the harassment happens in the first place: that a trans woman was placed higher than any cis woman in any context at all

its all 'be gay do crime' until a black person starts making allusions to drugs or sex or god forbid VIOLENCE and then it turns out nobody can handle anything more hardcore than downloading illegal torrents of hamilton

This post is about racism. This post is about racism and antiblackness. This post is not about how cool YOU are for doing crimes or about how much you hate 'antis' or how bad tesla sucks. This post is about how ostensibly progressive white people will clutch pearls and moralize about not listening to rap or engaging with black art or culture because it seemingly condones drugs, or violence, or is overly sexual, while having no issue with those topics in other, non-black contexts. There are conversations to be had about the topics surrounding this but in the meantime the original post is One Sentence and I'm not convinced most of the commenters in the past few days even read it.

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.
