extra crazy to see people swinging so hard for big corporate copyright lawsuits on tumblr dot com tbh. alright girl whateverrrrr, I hope the lawyers come for your favorite fan artist next if you're so in favor of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you're all frothing at the mouth for a queer climate activist getting sued now but oooh just wait until you can't order astarion keychains and baby yoda plushies and whatever the fuck else off etsy anymore

I guess in light of all the feedback I've been receiving tonight I'm going to turn over a new leaf and become a good citizen who defends copyright law. first up is snitching out the nice lady at the local farmers market who sells crochet pokemon plushies, I want to see nintendo sue that cunt into the ground

big life tips dont be neurodivergent dont be poor dont get in any sort of situation and dont let yourself need or crave

not getting good reports back on your progress with this guys

caveating this by saying I may be talking out my ass, but I do think there was this kinda sweet spot in the late 2010s through to maybe early 2020s in television where #diversity did give way to shows that weren't just #diverse but streamers and networks weren't as risk averse and were green lighting stories by smaller, newer and marginalised writers, and those stories were also more inclusive and less normative. outta that era we got shows like pose, the bisexual, atlanta, I may destroy you, Rutherford Falls, reservation dogs, feel good, the oa, we are lady parts, sort of, Russian Doll, and even baby reindeer (which sort of came at the end of this era). all these shows made under these specific conditions of this era where studios and streamers had good money they were willing to spend, diversity and inclusion hadn't become demonized yet, and the political/social/economic ramifications of the COVID 19 pandemic either hadn't happened yet or weren't fully known. That's not me saying these shows had an easy time of it being made/experienced no unfair backlash on release, but I feel like now with entertainment industries (as well as many others) everywhere backtracking on DEI in front of and behind the camera due to resurgence in global fascism, with the world economy being shit, bigoted social media commentary influencing market decisions, erosion of labour rights, and the general nostalgia driven cannibalisation of popular culture meaning everything has to be connected to existing IP or the past...... we're probably never gonna have an era defined by studios taking chances on those kind of stories at that rate ever again. At least not for a long while. And again I'm not saying there are no shows like this currently, there are. But I feel like the mid-late 2010s-early 2020s we had really cool niche inclusive storytelling in much higher volume and all this is to say...I miss it :(

staying silly is all i got left like i got no money no prospects i’m a burden to my parents and i’m frightened

when i was a kid i was addicted to drinking ocean water and sucking it out of my hair and eating fistfuls of sand and just couldn’t understand why i kept getting pinworm

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw

Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS

I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.

"slut era" i say as i rot and decay in my bedroom and watch the years pass me by as i miss out on core experiences other people my age are having while i think about the past

moment of unspeakable beauty today when one of my coworkers called another coworker "judas" for not splitting a can of white monster with her, and i got to watch the guy who sits next to me open a new google tab, type in "jeudis," and say quietly to himself "french thursday...?"
