"rickrolling is mean" rickrolling is the gentle, kind, prosocial descendant of what we used to do on the internet, which was putting a redirect to goatse in every possible misspelling of a url

You never know what color pallette someone's Tumblr is till ppl are screenshotting posts and tags

Oh wow.

Some people on tumblr are reading ancient scrolls and you'd never know

This is actually so interesting to read- it’s from 2012 but its full of the same anxieties, even some of the same phrasing that many of the guardian’s later pieces on transness use. really hammers home how much of the terfism that emerged in the late 10s was middle class mothers angry at a loss of control over their adult children- whether that be their bodies or their friends or their opinions- and making that everyone’s problem because they have the power to do so

It’s very interesting, and I would find it hilarious if I weren’t so occupied being disturbed by how very exactly it sounds like parents upset about their kids transitioning.

there is so much of that through-line of what basically boils down to white woman tears though. “I’m not in charge of my child anymore and that makes me really sad” almost as if being cast in the social role/identity box of Mom Of All Time can be detrimental to one’s mental health and can produce some exquisitely deranged behavior, especially when your child rejects that kind of box

I see women like this and the self (and societal) agrandisement of motherhood. Instead of seeing motherhood as a teaching position, they view it as ownership, mind, body and soul of the child. They swallow all of the societal rules and expectations including purity culture and vomit it on the child until the child cowers beneath it or breaks away from it. If they have the strength to break away, the mother figure punishes the child with these hystrionics. It’s sick.

Does anyone else ever have a sort of phantom physical sense when there's something ready to paste in the clipboard. It feels like I've got something in my right hand and when I click ctrl-v I put it down.
