I think it’s incredibly fucked how capitalism discourages learning for learning’s sake. People will have interests they’ve spent years researching then say it’s “useless knowledge” bc it didn’t go towards a college degree and isn’t part of their job. Learning is never useless! Your brain is growing and developing throughout your whole life! People would never have epiphanies or sudden lightening strikes of creativity if they weren’t learning new things! That goes double for topics like science, politics, and history, which inform your understanding of the world you live in!

If you dare come at me about banning straws, I will throw you into the sun cannon. I’m disabled, I’m crippled, I need disposable plastic straws, and all those pricey ridiculous alternatives aren’t working as well. Plastic straws were invented for the disabled.

Way to shit all over a vital access need because you think straws are worse than corporate greed.

We all care about the turtles, the seals, the oceans, obviously. Notice how the easiest thing to yell about was something that would barely affect anything but appealed heavily to emotional discourse.

The disabled community is huge, and it can be joined by anyone. Most of those As Seen On TV products were invented for us. Society still mocks us and ignores us, and often outright harms us in multiple ways.

Communicate better. Listen better. But stop putting us out in the cold because you are inconvenienced by our simplest needs.

im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary

why does needing and god forbid wanting feel so incredibly embarassing

“this character is dead” to you maybe. I don't know where y'all live but I live in denial

We should have had 16 seasons of Torchwood like fcking supernatural could you imagine the drama like it wouldn't be good but that's beside the point

Yes I’m tumblr posting about Doctor Who in 2023

[singing-not-sleeping-beauty]

something about characters who are not necessarily doomed by the narrative but definitely doomed by their jobs

[singing-not-sleeping-beauty]

much in like the way a single dorito could kill a medieval peasant, a single episode of torchwood (2006) could kill a tiktok teen

literally its fucking crazy that they introduced jack and were like "yeah so his former employer stole two years of his memories. also thats not his real name" and not ONCE in the entire time he was on tv over the course of 54 episodes did they ever think of explaining literally a single nother detail about any of that

they were too afraid to put him in eleven’s era because he would have had an affair with rory

[singing-not-sleeping-beauty]

the fact that torchwood even worked is kind of fascinating. like. it’s a gory sexy r rated spinoff of a kids show with one character in common. it barely even ties into the show it’s based on. and everyone is gay. and people were like yeah. let’s do it. in 2006

it’s been a moment
