Anyone else think short form social media based on algorithms designed to promote topics that create more engagement instead of more joy, the idea of fast fashion but conveyed through social media, and the fact you can monetize suffering and outrage better than ever has largely resulted in the death spiral of media literacy and the mass emergence of bad faith readings?
#I may be venting a lil but god it blows my mind#fyp is a blessing and a curse because i don't think ppl were ever meant to be subjected to this many ppl at once#god i took a bird site hiatus for weeks and now BARELY check it and it already feels like a hit#oughhhhh#even fandom spaces have hugely incorporated marketing and networking into them bc of cmms and sponsorship and building portfolio#which would be fine tbh if it weren't for the way socmed is designed#now it's like you can't support too many ppl or else you're shadow banned or you have to make yourself palatable and marketable#and websites with threads in which people will only read the first post before qrting because ratios are seen as five minutes of fame#features that permit beating an algorithm are locked behind a paywall that promises you money if you go viral#and what goes viral is usually incendiary content meant for those ratios or trends. whether for or against OP#even in hobbyist spaces the climate has changed so much due to the monetization and marketing and just. ugh#not to mention side accounts dedicated to gossip in this new priv account culture like...idk#if you have to make another account so you can make fun of a friend on main with selected priv friends it just doesn't sit well with me#and not every priv account does this but enough do and it makes me tired#unsolicited hate comments are still as bad as they used to be on ff dot net except now people openly are proud of it more#why do most socmed feel like passive aggressive sticky notes on high school lockers#there is so much more I could say about everything that has left me weary about the internet but I don't know the time or place#and I don't want anyone to think this is about them because it's a general statement. though if you are doing the more inflammatory things.#maybe rethink that. it's not good for anyone else and it's not good for you either#I keep coming back online to check on ppl and see art and I *know* it's draining for my health every time#but I feel a lot better now that i use socmed less overall. and that I try to focus on what makes me happy#it just sucks seeing so many people i care about endure absolutely wild struggles bc people online do not care.#I like rambling in my tags because this is the only place I ramble except my personal journal and to my wife

james somerton is just one of those people who wants to do whatever he wants and cannot stand the consequences of their own actions, which they willingly chose to do. entitled and self-absorbed motherfuckers. and that's the only way you can think to do the things he's done in the first place. having no base respect for the people you steal from and your audience, of course you think you can somehow do something to win them back. you can't. no one but an egomaniac would do what he's done in the first place, and only an egomaniac would think they can come back from that and still deserve to be praised and respected and have your cozy career like you did before you were exposed for what you've done. people like this cannot be worked with in the public eye.

could ya rank them from most likely to get into a twitter argument to least likely?
think it’d be kinda funny lol
sniffles: i just know in my heart that this man is so chronically online. his twitter account is 90% him going back and forth with flat earthers
giggles: there's a tumblr post floating around of someone calling someone a slur and then putting "/neg" on the end and i think giggles does that on twitter every single day
handy: okay handy doesn't so much get into twitter beef as much as he posts paragraph long rants calling someone an idiot and then immediately blocks them afterwards
cuddles: definitely has a stantwt account. do y'all remember the youtube 101 short where he left a hate comment on disco bear's channel that appeared to be entirely swear words? that's at least half of what he does on twitter
disco bear: exclusively fights with cuddles but other than that his account is mostly selfies
splendont: he doesn't post much but when he does it's usually to argue with someone
lifty and shifty: these two don't go out of their way to get into twitter beef but they will happily participate if it comes across their feed + they are Always having the most cartoonish fights with each other on no provocation.
splendid: he... technically Has a twitter but he runs it like a brand account. it's all convention dates and quote tweets going "Thank you so much to @(insert the most heinous stantwt username you can think of) for the wonderful fan art!" captioned over a tweet of some risque fanart of him
mime: has a twitter but mostly just posts pictures and videos of tricks he does and stuff like that. captions them exclusively in emoji for the bit.
nutty: too busy playing video games to get into twitter fights
russell: he's over on youtube posting "hamilton slime tutorials" he's not on twitter
lammy: she never actually Says anything on her twitter she just posts aesthetic moodboards and pictures of flowers
flippy: he has a twitter he rarely uses. will sometimes retweet lammy's flower pictures but that's about it.
mole: facebook user (derogatory)
petunia: petunia is chronically OFFline for her mental health because the one time she tried to get on twitter she got stuck in a doomscrolling spiral for 6 hours and had to be dragged out of it by handy
flaky: they follow maybe 10 people on twitter and 3 of them are baseball fun fact accounts

i have to ask even though i'm afraid of the answer, but what's the homophobia handbook thing you mentioned???
The Miracle of Forgiveness
I literally didn't interact with ANYONE in the thrift store but still got the cashier telling me it's her favorite 🙃I needed it for research on what the attitude towards gay ppl in Utah was like pre-AIDS, so I wasn't expecting that to be great, but it also has some absolutely heinous things to say about all kinds of other """"sins"""" The Miracle of You're Ruined Forever Even If It Wasn't Your Fault

Cw dilation & sex talk: Just wanted to chuck in the affirmation that you do not have to dilate if you do not want to. If this is from a having sex aspect, there are ways to have a pleasurable time without being penetrated 🫶
Absolutely!! Thank you so much for adding this on-dilation is an option but it is absolutely not a requirement, and penetration is also not a requirement for joyful + pleasurable sex. There are tons of options on the table, and the most important thing is always going to be our own mental and physical comfort.

i love how melodramatic people are about the supposed negative impacts of gifted programs like imagine if you were allowed to act like that about any other exclusive group in middle school. brb writing my treatise about how U13 girls volleyball teams need to be banned because they set up a pattern of inequity where i, as someone who couldn’t play volleyball, was permanently excluded from the possibility of becoming a pro volleyball player giving me lifelong issues in every aspect of my life. btw if you talk about being on middle school volleyball but not being recruited to play on a d1 team youre soooo annoying 🙄 “former volleyball players” need to stfu fr 🙄
