trying to explain to tumblr that the Middle Class in not their enemy
#listen if a business improvement district took over the town would they be on the board (or able to comfortably purchase enough commercial#real estate to get on the board)? no? then they are Not Your Enemy#(if u don’t know what BIDs are look it up and compare the maps to the maps of historically Black neighborhoods and also urban renewal areas)#(hint: the whole system is a repackaged way to disenfranchise the poor aka racial minorities) (cuz they’re overwhelmingly poor due to the#history of systemic racism. which has lasting effects even after being to some extent dismantled)#washington DC is a very very textbook example of this but it’s true elsewhere too

"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."
Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?

obviously all mental shit is irrational and stupid but adhd paralysis. come on. like “I want to do ten different things at once and I care equally about all of them and therefore can’t decide which one has to be done first so I’ll just sit here and waste all of my energy trying to choose between them until ultimately the day is over and I’ve done nothing and am also no closer to figuring out what to do next than I was at the beginning of the day” are you kidding me

On one hand I understand not teaching cursive in school anymore, because it actually is slower than regular handwriting and almost everything is typed on a keyboard now anyways.
On the other hand, so much of our (even recent!) history was written in cursive, and having a whole generation of kids who can't read letters written by their grandparents, momentos saved by their great-grandparents, or even photo albums from theur immediate family seems like a dangerously quick way to detach us from previous generations.
And on the third, related but slightly malformed hand, I feel bad that yet another form of small, everyday art that brings joy in the middle of mundane tasks, which celebrates personality and individual style and self-expression, is about to fade into obscurity because it wasn't efficient enough for today's world to put up with.
Like... if we continue to whittle away the small arts out of every day life, what's going to be left except stark, ruthless pragmatism?
Maybe writing a grocery list is less mundane when you get to feel elegant for a moment. Maybe you're a little more proud of what you write when you see it flow together like a painting
