"FUCK YEAH Princess Diaries!"

New Heated Rivalry sideblog for containment: @tinylilhollander

Reblogging because I've got a few new followers from some of my old posts – if you followed me for HR content, this is where I'm posting from now 😊⬆️

I had to check this wasn’t The Onion

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

this disability pride month lets be kinder to folks with moral ocd . no more “if you really care about this minority , you’ll reblog this post” , “someone will die if you don’t reblog this” , etc etc , and all other kinds of guilt tripping reblog bait . at the VERY LEAST tag your reblog bait so we can filter it out and avoid unnecessary spirals . it’s 2026 , we need to move past using guilt to get engagement .

now that you mention it, it’s dawned on me suddenly and for no obvious reason that i can’t go on living as i am

anyone else think it's kinda fucked up that the wise men went to little baby jesus and brought him a frankenstein. really scary
