I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

like. it gets to a point where all these anti-interpretation, anti-analysis “I reject canon and do what I want” posts read as anti-intellectualism and in a time where people are thinking critically less and less and relying on AI to tell them what to do and think I personally do not find it cute or funny. Like yes, a big part of fandom is fanworks and transformative works and elevating or diverging from canon and I LOVE that. And there are aspects of canon that suck. I get wanting to ignore or erase them in your fandom play. And that’s totally fine. I do it too from time to time. I think every fan does, to some extent. But there are also fans who LOVE analysis and writing meta and who like puzzling canon together or digging into the canon and using canon to support their theories / interpretations. And acting like those fans are “fun suckers” because we get enjoyment out of writing essays and looking at canonical moments to validate our readings of the text just sounds a lot like the people who peddling anti-intellectual rhetoric and don’t want people to THINK critically about anything anymore.

what companies who sell you anti aging stuff don't want you to know is that if you're chill about aging, your perception of attractiveness changes as you get older. there is no "wall" where you suddenly become ugly and unfuckable because in my experience what actually happens is you get into your thirties and suddenly realize that people in their thirties are hot as fuck and the "flaws" that the beauty industry wants you to panic about are a feature not a bug, and based on the std statistics in nursing homes I don't really expect that trajectory to change.

look it's great that you guys have always been into milfs and silver foxes since the day you popped out of the womb, I'm happy for you, you're not the target audience of this post though.

Then again this isn't new. People went bananas of Rainbow High to the point it ruined some people's ability to see that multiple colors in an outfit is GOOD actually and I'm just like... I guess some of them were cute. And only now that it's on its way out and someone remembered you can use multiple colors in the design team, they appeal to me.
