Am I doomed to forever reblog ruinedchildhood and nothing BUT ruinedchildhood?

[nikidanger]

I was tagged by one of my favorite humans ( @nerdygrlwonder ) to post my most recent selfie, last song I listened to, and screen. I tag @wa55up @cutencurlyy @badatstuff @pass-the-popcorn @j-jacki @allerasphinx and anyone else cos I'm sleepy af and am tired of typing. Also ignore me looking half past dead in that background screen cos I had the flu and he was takin care of me all day. At least he's adorable *kanye shrug*

@badatstuff holy shit, yeah that's basically who my dad aspires to be. His views on men and women are... really something

[griffys]

@badatstuff yeah the animations seem a little lackluster but i’m gonna give it a chance for myself before i make any judgements based on what these yahoos on this hell site say

Im sorry im bad at tumblr

Hey everyone following me just letting you know i suck at tumblr :p

[twowivestwoknives]

@badatstuff yeah the neuroableism in older stuff but in Django Jane theres a lot of "pussy power" lyrics and its cringingly cissexist. Black women have little social autonomy over their bodies/sexuality so i can see it be empowering for Janelle to rock her own body in a song, but like not all black women are cis and shes on a platform making a women empowerment song that excludes a group of marginalized black women for sake of a few vagina jokes

I never understand this. Like if something looks a colour, it is that colour, right? That’s what colour is, isn’t it?

this was more or less jacob’s argument. “colour is just light, which is what we can see, so anything that looks blue, is.” it’s a reasonable argument. same as saying banana’s aren’t berries. there’s a very real logic behind it. and most people in life will not argue it. even i wouldn’t for the most part.

unfortunately for them, i have an intense interest in colour theory as well as birds. also they’re colourblind. so what looks blue to them, often looks purple to me. objectivity is not so simple with colour, which is why i love it so much.

there is chemical construction and wavelength construction when talking about the way colours Are. if we were observing the peacock’s (using peacocks cause the first recorded people to look into structural colouration did, cause they’re obvious birds) tail without light, scanning it for its chemical makeup, etc, we would be convinced it’s brown. the Dye, the Biological Make-up of the peacock makes it brown. but it has a microscopically thin film that breaks up the light, refracting it into the blue-green area of the light spectrum. most examples of blue in nature are because of this. marble berries, emperor butterflies.

there are many different ways these layers, these films, are constructed, and they often are stacked, which is why peacocks look so shiny and blue jays look bright blue but dull.

hope that helped a little! 

feel free to call bluebirds blue still. for the commonly given definition, yeah, they are.

See, if I’m talking about what colour something is, I’m not really thinking about chemical makeup. Like by that kind of definition, is the sky colourless? I really do appreciate your coolness with the common definitions though, it really bugs me when academics and experts think their jargon trumps commonly understood meaning, like nah, you took pre-existing words, adapted them to your purposes for your insular community, and now you expect us to accept your way, nope!

yeah like. there’s no need to get precious about it. but i’m not an academic or an expert so i probably have that going for me.

even if i was i like to think i would like. not be a jerk. i love showing new knowledge to people but i’m not expecting them to already know it. i’m still gonna call peacocks blue. i know that’s not Strictly true but unless we’re talking in a specialist context (like i’m doing now, deliberately bringing up the division between perceived colour and chemical colour to bring a trivia fact about birds), it’s not important to make the distinction.
