shark week oo ha ha

i am, obstensibly, not really back here, and i've made myself a rule that i won't reblog anything without directly adding to it, or post without it being my own thoughts and whatnot. social media detox has been good for me.

however, if anyone does want to chat or ask me anything, my inbox is open and i'll do my best to answer. i wouldn't mind being back here to talk with people, i'm just trying to avoid doomscrolling and mindless consumption.

shut up about barbie god i hate it literally so much lol it's not fucking insightful it's not a modern day women's fight club it has nothihg of value to say and is only a corporation's heavily sponsored libwavy jism. they paid buckets in marketing so you would pretend there was substance. the only worthy analysis one could make is how it's a glorified movie length example of when corporations readily mix liberalism into commercial advertising to make others Feel about their product

now to comment on the content of that glaad billboard. i think it's extremely funny that they were like the science is settled in red letters like it's jesus' words in a red letter bible. very fitting for what is now nothing more than a religious movement.

The cultural impact of “boomer” as a pejorative has been disastrous and I’m not even kidding

You know what could actually help lots of women in the global south? Especially if you're American? Stop consuming drugs. I find it kinda funny how betrayed everyone seems when you can't even give up weed.

If you're American and you consume illegal drugs, you are two steps from consuming porn to me.

Young people love corporations so much now bc corporations tend to them like they’re in a veal pen. Here’s your merchandise-based identity. Here are your material objects. Here is the press release you agree with. Keep giving us your money and ad impressions. Keep scrolling

I don’t think a lot of people really understand that ecosystems in North America were purposefully maintained and altered by Native people.

Like, we used to purposefully set fires in order to clear underbrush in forests, and to inhibit the growth of trees on the prairies. This land hasn’t existed in some primeval state for thousands of years. What Europeans saw when they came here was the result of -work-

“We cant raise minimum wage bc rent will increase”

Stop using the passive voice. Say what will actually happen. Landlords will increase rent — a voluntary action, not a natural result. The fun thing about voluntary actions is that they can be legislated against. What IS a natural result is that when landlords raise rent, their tenants’ wages automatically devalue. Again, the solution here is to stop the voluntary choice from being a choice at all.

Landlords choosing to increase rent is the problem, not a natural result of the solution.

I care way less about leftists being forced to publish certain articles in conservative or else unaffiliated press than I do about leftist groups and organisations accepting right wing funding or else financial support tbh. one of those is just far more pressing and compromising to me than the other, I don’t care if someone has written for the daily mail I really don’t

At this point i've lost count of how many times i've seen stuff like "i just can't live as a woman. i've been forcing myself to hate my trans name embrace femininity and present like a proper female to convince myself i'm cis and it failed so." (and viceversa with male transitioners). I personally believe gnc ppl are not 'cis', they're gnc, but if you ask trans people they'll tell you they are and get mad when you point of the overlap of experiences, yet spout stuff like above. It's doublethink!

i don't think anyone is cis. but yes, for gnc ppl transitionkng, it often feels like the last ditch hope to have nothing wrong with him. better to be a loved and accepted trans man than a hated and demonized gnc woman. of course, trans men only usually get acceptance as in conditional lovebombing, and from the rest of society only if they actually pass, but it's still more than gnc women get.
