Having a partner who suffers from epilepsy has really opened my eyes to just how many forms of visual media use a lot of flashing imagery. Videogames are especially guilty of this, even moreso when they don't have any kind of accessibility options for turning that stuff off.

Also while putting an epilepsy warning at the start is appreciated, I feel having accessibility options to account for that would help even more.

Problem with good jokes is that inevitably you get people lacking in comedic talent trying to copy them and failing miserably.

The Party Finder jokes mocking bad people used to be funny but now you've got people doing it just to be nasty because they think they're the 2nd coming of George Carlin

idk who needs to hear it but it’s ok to be a trans butch, whether you're transmasc or transfem or somewhere in the middle, you're allowed to express yourself however you want, no matter what other people might think of you

an important thing to remember about colonialism is that places that were colonized were not perfect utopia but often full of their own horrors and abuses

the other important thing to remember about colonialism that the above does not justify colonialism

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

in some aspects tumblr users see a like but no reblog in the same way a business sees piracy as lost income

I went to this Northwest Passage museum once where they had the white explorers' journals on one side of the exhibit and the native people's accounts on the other side of the exhibit and the explorer journals were like "our canoe had almost sunk when we encountered some kindly Indians" and the native histories were like "we watched a bunch of strangers come down the river in the shittiest canoe you'd ever seen. Also, they had no rain gear"

really everyone you love has something miserably wrong with them or an obvious flaw that won't ever be fixed but like it's up to you what kind of person you can and cannot deal with. someone in my family has anger issues which I can handle and diffuse with no problem, but a person who can't tolerate yelling could not be close to him. another person I know is very anxious & needs constant reassurance and she gets along famously with gentler and more straightforward people than myself, but I can't handle being second guessed all the time. someone who is loosey goosey with their morals wouldn't bother me, but a person with a profound sense of justice makes me feel afraid of getting on their bad side. none of these traits actually make someone a bad person & just because there are personalities I can't handle doesnt mean I'M a bad person either. litany against callout posts for stupid shit and simple incompatibilities we all have to live on this earth together & need to learn how to deal with each other

sometimes you reblog something because you personally want it on your blog. and some other times you reblog something as if you were scattering bird feed on ur porch and hiding behind the window to look out for the beautiful bird (beloved mutual) who will no doubt come peck at it
