most likely to kiss a robot

hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.

"The right/wrong side of history" is such a non-argument it drives me up the wall. "Hypothetical people at an untold point in the future agree with me" bro nobody cares. "I've drawn myself as the chad and you as the soyjak"-ass debate tactic. The nazis were going to be hailed as the brave founders of a thousand-year empire. The doctors championing lobotomies in the '40s and '50s proclaimed with their whole chest that they were on the revolutionary cutting edge of mental health treatment. It's a might-makes-right argument with commitment issues that hinges entirely on your side eventually accumulating enough victories to write the textbooks. Defend your premise on its own merits or die.

Let's hold up traffic with mama!

idk man not to sound like a cartoon hippie but if your entirrrrre blog and dash is about how the world sucks and everyones bigoted i think you are going to give yorself brain worms

"ah but all of this is important and true and if i dont reblog all of this important stuff waga baga THE WORMS! THATS WORMS! THE BRAIN WORMS!

i do not think you are doing activism chief i think what you are doing is sitting in your room flagellating yourself expecting something to happen

i hate how much ai has taken the joy out of seeing something cool. you used to see something cool, like a really intricate drawing or a video of someone doing an insane skill or two animals doing something cute, and because there were no mental gymnastics involved in discerning whether or not it was 'real' you could sit there and have the joy of like, "wow! how did they do that! how cool is it that they made that! what a wonderful moment to have captured!" and now every time i see something remarkable i hate that i have to sit there and be like okay let me go frame by frame to make sure everything lines up. let me double check the page this comes from. let me scroll through the comments to make sure no one called out something i missed. like i want the joy of being able to trust someone else's creation back, please

no one is coming to Save you but there are probably people coming to Help you and that rocks. embrace it

I feel like in the past ten years, boycotting has stopped being a tool for forcing action on specific policies and become a form of harassment and monastic self-denial. Less “I will not be giving my money to you until you improve these specific conditions” and more “don’t touch the contaminated thing, lest you also become contaminated.”

Refusing to shop at Walmart for one day isn't going to prove anything to them. Real boycotts are organized, long-lasting, and clearly communicate their goals to the company being boycotted.
