I don’t often mention my actual job but it’s been taking over a little lately. I’m currently re-reading a lot of theoretical texts on intersectional liberation politics for work, which has me writing a seemingly infinite strategy document on different recommendations for how we can spur systemic change in our organisation. I’m grateful for a rare chance to approach my job in a research-based, theoretically-focused way as I usually lead on very operational projects. Some very promising (but often frustrating, due to inaction) conversations about decolonising the university, dismantling our systems that oppress marginalised students and augmenting activism in our roles.

I wanna wish everyone good luck with the upcoming exams and I hope you all continue to be safe!

i would absolutely rather be mildly annoyed by happy people enjoying stuff im not into than miserable people who feel embarrassed about everything they do. ill take a million superwholock kids any day over 1 weirdo adult who enjoys making people feel bad

high schoolers watching shows you dont like really isnt that deep

let them have fun. if they’re not allowed to talk about it irl, and they’re not allowed to talk about it on the internet, what do you expect them to do?

Shut up ableists

let ppl be happy. cringe culture fucks up autistic and adhd kids by forcing them not to talk about their interests literally anywhere.

It’s not that fucking complicated: Don’t be a dick.

Like y'all never had convos about ‘have you seen the new marvel movie?’ ‘Did you see The Voice last night?’ During breaks or quiet moments

It’s going to be cringey enough for them when they look back on it in later life. They don’t need constipated fun vampires kicking them in the shins too.

Cringe culture is inherently abusive because it’s based on abusive control tactics. I’d 100% prefer happy, healthy and safe people who are mind numbingly obnoxious to people who seem to have good manners on the surface but are spending so much energy policing themselves that they can’t let anyone in ever again.

4. If you are harming people because they’re not “normal”, you are a bad person. Yes, you. Look at your choices, do some self-reflection, and knock it the hell off.

I’m getting mixed signals from myself.
