not to be a pedantic hater but i wish tumblr accent wasn't the commonly used term to describe tumblrina typing quirks and phrases bc that is Not an accent it's a dialect!!

Huge fan of when I have a problem that I have no idea how to handle (or no time/tools/physical strength to handle) and I call A Guy who knows how to handle it and they come and handle it for me.

I like it the way I like many other hobbies I pick up and put down again when I’ve not got the energy for it or am busy with something else but doing things from scratch more often would get tiring fast

People really need to take a wider view of this paranoia about age gaps and realise this is how we lose the ability to build communities. You need to be able to realise that people can have things in common with you even if they grew up in a different time/place/culture. You also need to realise you can build communities with people who don’t have obvious things in common with you, that people can have the same goals and needs as you even if in most ways they’re very unlike you. Now, more than ever, we need to be able to work together to have any chance to stand ip against the few who have so, so much more power, money and influence than any of us do individually. We need to form communities that reach across age (and class and race and sexuality and so on…).

do these people not talk to their family members? I mean my niece and nephew are some of the coolest people out there and they are 30 years younger than me. Do they have nothing in common with their parents or aunts and uncles? My community elders in the fiber community are awesome and I have learned so much from them. And regularly do social things together.

I get that there’s a lot of annoying and/or straight up bad people that are obsessed with the Roman Empire but I’m not gonna stop my personal lifelong obsession with it because the assholes don’t get to own the concept of being interested in history

Also if you’re looking for a morally pure society for someone to be interested in historically, it doesn’t exist. If your reason for thinking someone shouldn’t be interested in a historical or current society is because that society had/had terrible parts of it, you might as well ban the study of history and sociology altogether and you definitely don’t wanna do that. Doomed to repeat it etc etc

evoking bertholt brecht’s “the way people cast a play!” quote as a spell against prescriptive, stereotypical, fatalistic typecasting

I'm surprised nobody has made a horror film where Santa Claus is representative of an appropriated whimsical entity that has become a vicious fascist monster that maintains Western fascism & a hyper surveillance state

Hey. Stop for a second. Take this moment to appreciate that you don't have to write a paper right now. No one is asking you to write a paper. You don't have to think about the paper or plan your time around the paper. You have the freedom to think about whatever you want. Everything is going to be okay. At least you don't have to write a paper right now
