I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.
I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.
i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.
fuck google all the way up the arse though for replacing their real, online oxford-backed/adjacent dictionary with multiple numbered meanings and etymology with FUCKING AI OVERVIEW

Albert Square, Manchester (1910) by Adolphe Valette | Contemporary Art (2015) by Emily Allchurch
the top is an original, from 1910, the bottom is a new version painted in 2015
THE BOTTOM IS A PAINTING????
also does a really good job reminding the view just how much air quality has improved since we stopped burning coal in every building lol
i think people need to stop glorifying sassiness and bitterness and start promoting the idea of actually being fucking nice and civil to people who did nothing to you.
Romanticize earnestness.
Seeing this post shared uncritically has deeply pissed me off, because there are several layers of misinformation in it. It is not true in the first place that 60% of trans people incarcerated in the UK are charged with sexual crime, yet the response seems to take that as true. Secondly, selling sex itself is not illegal in the UK and sex workers are not prosecuted as sex criminals here solely for selling sex. The risks of criminalization come with brothel keeping charges and facilitating/inciting, for which roughly 10 people a year total receive prison sentences (most not being sex workers) and these aren't even sex offences!
The 60% claim comes from here, and it's based on incomplete data which examines only a fraction of trans prisoners, and the person above has actually only used the statistic for trans women. For reference, 19% of the overall prison population are incarcerated for sexual offences. This is because trans prisoners' existence is only recorded in the cases where a "local case board" was arranged to deliberate on how a trans person should be treated with regards to their gender. These local case boards often won't be held for lesser offenses and are most likely to be held (unsurprisingly) for sex crimes, and also are not held if the trans person decides not to disclose that they are trans (which we can do even if visibly medically transitioning).
This data was also collected before the recent legal guidelines changes which make trans people guilty of sexual offenses if we don't disclose we're trans before sex. This will of course skew the data even further, because these actually will be treated as sex offenses.
I'm admittedly especially frustrated that I found this level of misinformation shared by a blog supposedly dedicated to pointing out and challenging whorephobia. (@this-is-whorephobia)
Don't mindlessly reblog things when you have no idea where the stats are coming from or the laws they supposedly refer to!
also I don't think parents "these days" are uniquely terrible, I just think neglect is showing up in new ways as technology progresses. today's ipad kid would've been wandering around in a ditch alone all day and night before. parents not wanting to have to deal with children is not a new phenomenon.
Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.
It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.
The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.
EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.
robots require very frequent breaks! welding machines generally have it programmed in that they can’t run so long they melt themselves. ive overseen two different manufacturing robots now and each of them were fragile, finicky idiots that require constant maintenance and repair. they pause in between moves, in between jobs. you’re always keeping an eye on programming errors, on coolant levels, on heat. you’re always pulling bits of scrap out of joints, sweeping up debris, washing off nozzles and untangling hoses. and even then it snaps a chain and takes a whole morning’s vacation.
even robots need downtime.

i'm 100% for criticism of bloodymary and how so many fandom goers would rather hack together a crossover solely to ship 2 conventionally attractive men vs shipping Grace with a rock, a Black man, or even (god forbid!) simply enjoying a thing without shipping at all. but i'm also seeing a ton of people call Grace/The Iron Lung Guy a generic white boy ship and i think it's important to point out that Markiplier isn't white. like i don't even follow the guy but i still know he's talked about growing up being bullied for being Korean and developing internalized racism as a result. we can talk allonomativity and racism in fandom without erasing that (we should probably add the fact a real human man is being whitewashed for shipping to the conversation tbh!)
Edit: i don't care why you ship bloodymary but not gracecarl. at no point in this post did i ask why people are shipping bloodmary instead of gracecarl. you do not need to justify to me why you ship bloodymary but not gracecarl. this post isn't about the popularity of bloodymary vs gracecarl, it's about how i think that perhaps people should not call Markiplier white maybe. if you want to debate the reasoning of shipping bloodymary but not gracecarl plz go find a post about that because i'm talking about the whitewashing of real human man Markiplier. also! i believe it perhaps says something about you if you feel the need to defend liking one ship but not another on a post that's not even about that!
Can anyone stop being an anti black racist for a moment? I want a chance at enjoying things again
I'm not even kidding it's so clear that everyone sees black people and especially black women as some sort of alternate species. I'm getting into doll collection & customization videos because I've been getting into collecting myself and toys and art are supposed to bring me happiness and even there I can't escape the anti blackness. Like... you're lucky if you find a character or doll that's consistently brown skinned and carefully designed in popular brands. Collectors will always favor light skin or fantasy colors anyways. I had to watch a white creator call a custom Garnet doll "dummy thicc" and describe her in progress proportions as "female rappery" why couldn't just have said curvy? You're not funny or cool and I'm very tired
“people shouldn’t have to accept the bare minimum-” I agree with that too but we’re at a point where we have to cling to the bare minimum or that will be taken away too
yes teenage girls can be dramatic and wild but honestly have u ever even seen what happens when u tell a grown man ‘no’
