The weather is not a toy

okay. listen. if you ever find yourself falling into a new ideological circle, pay attention. if you notice that you’re among people who define themselves as part of an “in-group” with a pre-prepared human “enemy” to constantly rail against—if everyone fantasizes about the mental state of these loathsome monsters, if they participate in witch hunts or (perhaps worse) poke bears and court harassment on purpose to comfort each other over—get the fuck out. you haven’t been enlightened to some grand conspiracy, there are no evil “enemies” or “degenerates” trying to rip apart the fabric of society, and you do not have the moral duty to “enlighten” anyone to whatever you think the “truth” is. it’s neither safe nor normal to spend hours of your day fighting with strangers on the internet

a lot of people wear this shit like a badge of honor, but it’s also not normal to hide your “in-group” status as a form of martyrdom, relishing when the “enemy” slips up around you. it’s comforting in the moment, but in the long run, you’re alienating yourself from the world outside of your bubble. the more you alienate yourself, the more vulnerable and lonely you become, and the harder it is to reject the comfort of belonging to the “in-group”

i’m writing this from the perspective of someone who grew up in a cesspool of awful, cult-like rural churches—which is its own situation—but i see similar shit happening in online communities all the time, both within and 800 miles outside of my own ideological principles. yes, every toxicass radfem i block seems to be trapped in a version of this vicious cycle, but i also see it happening in random queer circles and niche fandom communities. no one is immune, not even me. i’ve watched people fall into this shit and never make it out. be careful

I understand that museums have to be dark because light can destroy fragile artifacts. That said, I’m always afraid to walk around the blind corners because what if there is a skeleton

convincing this wandering swordmaster (loser, woman) to keep demonstrating her flawless technique to cleave a man from his life for me because her tits bounce really lewdly whenever she does it and she hasn't noticed yet

There’s already been endless wars waged against fat and carbs. I’m just waiting for protein’s turn to be demonized for no reason.

Very slow day today, so I decided to finally watch The Birth of A Nation (at 1.25 speed, which I will not apologize for lmao). Can confirm: extremely racist

My T-shirt with the entire text of Borges' theoretical Library of Babel is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt, somewhere.

“coke is better!” “pepsi is better!” wrong. squirt supremacy.

One legitimately weird thing about Tumblr is that we literally can’t code for shit, many people quit working at Tumblr due to a hostile work environment, and we can’t seem to program a simple blogging website to not flood your RAM.

This cloud right here:

Is NOT a cloud, but a sculpture!

"L'apparence" is a solidified helium sculpture by Norwegian artist Raphaël Certainement-Pasnorvégien in his home town of Bordeaux, Norway.

Weighing almost 70,000 tons and anchored by over 500 transparent aluminum cables, "L'apparence" invites us to consider the difficulty humanity has in creating what nature does without a thought. According to the Norse artist, "C'est un nuage, monsieur. Ma sculpture est en France, pas en Norvège. Où est votre carte de presse?" Sadly we could not verify the meaning of his statement as we do not speak Norwegian, not do we have internet access to check google.
