Honestly. nothing gets to me more than the perpetual "we"-ing of the terrible effects of "humanity" on the planet
Like talk abt species going extinct due to climate change or poaching or similar "We're killing the planet" Who's We?
I didn't pick up a rifle, I didn't dump my fishing net, I don't own a single factory.
Humans are PART of the planet, part of nature, WE are not some sort of scourge or the one thing that is removed from everything else.
And it's like. All intentional too, like some PR exec for BP or similar has made these decisions. The blame for climate change has been divided 8 billion ways and split equally onto all of us when our contributions are Certainly not equal.
It's part of the capitalism machine, to make people believe capitalism and humanity are inextricably tied to one another. "Humanity is a disease" as a phrase highlights this pretty well, shifting the issue from sets of behaviours to just inherent properties of People.
Cause as long as we believe humanity's existence is just inherently problematic for the planet, we won't go dismantling any systems that the people in charge of polluting the entire planet happen to rely upon for their fortunes.
Humanity is fucking great. All of my probably top 50 favourite things in the world are people. We are part of this planet and I'm a big fan of both us and the planet we're on.
blegh idk, it's important to deconstruct how commonly people think capitalism is just part of the human experience because it's not, and there's a lot of propaganda to make you think it is, and a lot of corporations relying on the fact that you believe it

I can't think of a way to point this out that doesn't sound phenomenally gross, because it is: the IWTV show has made specific and very crass references to Claudia's (physically 14 year old) genitals in all three episodes she's featured in so far. Two of them were spoken by Lestat! I hate it here! 🥲

Weirdest bit of gijinka lore is that Palkia's organs are all flipped? Like their heart is on the right side instead of left. And this applies to all the other Area Specific organs (... bc I reckon you wouldn't notice the lungs being flipped around, lol). No one knows WHY their organs are like that other than maybe it's some fucky wucky stuff with them being a twin with Dialga (whose organs are normal) but it's never been proven. Their organs are just weird and you'll deal with it.

Guys, I'm honestly so glad I happened to wander back to Tumblr just in time for this weird, collective yet highly individualized within subcultures, tangible yet hallucinatory love letter to the entire digital ecosystem of art creation, preservation, and participation we've all been--often reluctantly--a part of for decades now. Eat your heart out, Walter Benjamin.

perhaps the greatest crime tamsyn muir has committed against me is ALMOST tricking me into reading all of homestuck to get familiar with the lore, just so i can dust off good ol archive of our own and read her fanfiction because i was so desperate for more of her writing
