I was trying to do something fun, but alas, Tumblr disappointed me

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.

2026 being the ten year anniversary of 2016 ace discourse means that everyone needs to get incredibly asexual this year. as reparations

many of you in the notes saying “on it boss”. i’m starting to think you guys were already asexual…

"-without harming them or having to worry about them crawling onto me"

"poc person" you are saying person of color person. "poc artist poc writer poc media" that's not what it means!! stop that!!!

why are you guys acting like i'm asking you to move heaven and earth to change how you use one term

"artist of color", "media from writers of color", it's not hard to wrap the mind around, what are people getting confused by?
