#tiktokification

This might sound like I'm just being a hater and I really don't want it to come across that way, it's more of an annoyance in that it spreads misinformation that all types of EDS have the same symptoms or as I've seen some people think, that there's only one type of EDS.

I know this is a semi random post, but I was on TikTok and saw a video basically mischaracterizing Rodrick with the song “Teenage Dirtbag”. Saying that he is the type of teenager people think the song is about, based off the title and not the actual lyrics. 

Basically saying the song is about loners with no friends and not actual teenage dirtbags. In my opinion, he works for the title and song. 

Hobbies should be something you enjoy. They can be casual or be full-blown passions. They should bring things like joy and whimsy. You should be able to enjoy them alone if no one else is around. You don’t have to post about how you’re rollerskating 24/7, a lot of things don’t need to be posted or capitalized on. It makes me think that you don’t love yourselves enough to enjoy things on your own. Someone always has to be watching. Ya’ll are wasting your lives away performing for the validation of people who couldn’t give less of a shit and it is SAD

Hobbies don’t need to be attractive or become this productivity contest bitch !

I really miss the old days of the internet, when every site felt so unique. Even in the early/mid 2010s the main social media sites weren't aping each other that much and still had a little uniqueness to them. Now even Tumblr has a fucking Live feature that no one asked for and other social media sites keep pushing their own versions of TikTok videos down our throats. Every new major site update for most sites is an effort to make them more homogenous.

People died. Not 'got unalived'. They died.

Anyone over the age of about ten should be able to at least say the word death. It is a neutral word, not a slur. It's part of life. Please stop bowing to corporate censorship when talking about the death of oppressed minorities.

I saw another post making this point but when people censor warning tags and say, for eg, "tw r*pe" there's a coddling quality to it where they seem to think that seeing the word "rape" will be the issue for someone who is triggered by it, rather than the content actually being tagged for.
