i went into gojo's character tag and it was. a mistake. because there were a few pieces of really neat art with captions like "oh if he noticed geto was slipping" or "if they [gojo and shoko] noticed he [geto] was spiraling" and!! it pisses me off so bad!! because even if they did notice and tried to help they're not professionally qualified to!! they were teenagers at the time!! they were not equipped to handle the immense amounts of trauma that come with training to be jujustu sorcerers or like. shoulder the burden of another person's trauma stemming from that!! jesus fucking christ!!

•Indigenous Peoples and National Parks•

Something I don’t see talked about nearly enough is how the whole concept of National Parks is tied to the genocide of indigenous peoples on turtle island

How the concept of “untouched land” is rooted in racism, because whenever the colonisers came over here they thought “indigenous people couldn’t possible have the ability to farm and work with the land cause they’re [insert racism]. And also it doesn’t look like how we do it so I guess it doesn’t happen lmao.” Whenever in all actuality, indigenous peoples have been working with the land for thousands of years.

Even ignoring the fact that national parks are just another way of taking important land from indigenous peoples, it’s also a stupid concept and no wonder why they’re “failing”, because the “untouched wilderness” they’re trying to encapsulate WAS NEVER UNTOUCHED TO BEGIN WITH.

Here are some sources btw

I feel like some influencers are starting to use the term "de-influence" to talk about bullshit. And my attitude towards that is "no, this means to learn you are selling me the same thing over and over and I can go through life without a drawer full of expensive foundations you said were "the bomb". Gtfo with your "you guys de-influenced me INTO BUYING THIS OTHER NEW PRODUCT" please get away from the internet and get checked.”

the story of kfc fucks me up man. the colonel founded this gas station that expanded to restaurant, the chicken at the restaurant gets popular, makes KFC, it gets big and he sells it to a corporation for a lot of money. realizes he got sorta scammed out of the true worth of kfc so tries to get more money and they refuse and the courts side against him. then he starts a new chicken restaurant claiming the corporate people were not making chicken to his standards and kfc sued him because kfc owned the colonel's likeness and the courts agreed. a corporation owned this man's name and appearance. he wasnt allowed to use either, thus legally erasing his reputation making it harder for him to get taken seriously in any food venture. the man, to the day he died, was going into kfc's and throwing fits because the food had fallen into such bad shape he hated it was associated with him. and it's like, whether he's a bad man or a good man or whatever, a corporation owned his identity, stopped him from using his reputation and identity in other businesses, and refused to acknowledge his outrage that they changed his recipes and still attributed it to him. this is literally the obnoxious plot of a jay and silent bob movie, but it was this dude's real life. what the fuck.

This problem is nothing new, but this specific example with these numbers puts it into a fucking brutal perspective.

To put these numbers a different way: A Taco Bell burrito that used to cost ~7 minutes and 20 seconds of minimum wage work now costs ~30 minutes and 30 seconds of minimum wage work.

You used to be able to work at Taco Bell anywhere in the country and make enough money in one hour to buy at least 8 burritos (maybe 9 if you're a manager or something) and feed, like, 3-4 people a decently-filling meal. But now, the same amount of work at the same job will get you one meal for one person. And this change has happened over a mere 15 years.

Remember this whenever you see rich people demonize younger generations for our financial situations, when they call us irresponsible for not investing a ton of money in savings accounts.

I think at some point in time we need to sit down and start explaining to artist who want to make a career out of art that there are FAR more options than just "living off of commissions" and "posting my art online and praying I get paid for it".

so when straight people ask me why I say I’m “queer” or “gay” instead of sharing my actual identity as a panromantic demisexual non-binary sapphic queer I just tell them “ok look, when you’re talking to someone who isn’t local and they ask you where you’re from and you either say the name of the largest city nearby or ‘town name, suburb of large nearby city’ so they can get some geographical context of where you’re located right, bc they’re probably not going to know the name of the little town you actually live in.”

but if you’re talking to a local you can say the name of your actual town bc they have a greater chance of knowing where/what that is.

ok well when I’m talking to a straight person I start with queer bc chances are they aren’t as familiar with the context of all the little towns in that big queer city and need gps (gay positioning system) to find me.

if I’m talking to another queer person and I say I live in a suburb of gay city in a town called panromantic on the demisexual side of the tracks which is in the county of queer and I live off the intersection of non-binary and sapphic, they’d probably be able to find me with little to no problems, make sense?

I did something physical today, I played Ultimate Frisbee I ran and I was in so much pain and I am in so much pain but I kept it up and my team didn’t do bad— but still I just.. I wish I could be a normal kid who could do that stuff without dislocating my elbow completely hanging loose halfway and playing one armed for the rest of the game + the rest of the night. As we speak the muscles are trying to work itself around the fact i put it back in improperly.

I can’t do this kind of stuff every day, hell, I can’t do anything like this more than three times a year. I envy those who can participate in sports, even those in pain while doing so. I envy those who haven’t been told by doctors since they were a small child they could never do sports.

I hate that the "Gen Alpha can't read." conversation so much because people are taking this as a chance to call children stupid and their parents monsters instead of having a very real discussion about how the education system is flawed by design, covid fucked up everything socialization wise, these parents having little access to child care and more work hours leads them to lean on things like tablets and phones to watch their kids more and more, teachers are more overworked and underpaid than ever leading to them leaving the profession in droves and that's only like the surface level issues. There's a myriad of factors at play here, not just that "The kids are spoiled screen-addicted brats with no imagination and their parents are childish spoiled millennials who just let coco melon handle everything."

i wish there wasn’t such a stigmatized view on platonically loving people.

I can’t call people nicknames and pet names like hun and honey without them immediately assuming i have romantic interest in them.

i can’t tell my friends i love them without adding on “platonically” or shortening the phrase “ily” “love you” “love u”

i love a lot of people. i love my sister, i love my boyfriend, and i love my best friend. All different versions of love.

let us love people openly and honestly without it being seen as “making a move” or being romantically interested.

please please please stop assuming that love is strictly romantic, i promise you life becomes so much brighter and bigger when you stop keeping love strictly romantic.

I am genuinely so worried for all the young horny dykes going into adulthood thinking there's something "problematic" / "wrong" with them for being horny because fucking tiktok lesbians think any horny dyke content is "male gaze fetishitic"
