Mostly fandom stuff with the occasional theory, every time I find a new sonic, Homestuck, or persona 5 blog I go feral, nsfw tag is #reverend batter would not approve of this. Have fun & don't die :3 (Current obsession(s): Miraculous Ladybug Salt, The Owl House, Hermitcraft, Amanda the Adventurer, Trigun Stampede, mp100)

So I learned how to pin posts on mobile!

If you are or support pornbots, pedophiles/MAPs/PEARs, incest, Rapists, pro-life, TERFs, DDlg, aphobia, biphobia, islamophobia, antisemitism, racism, sexism, ableism, or exclusion of any kind, I will personally kick your ass.

1000% this, people need to stop calling their impulses and random thoughts "intrusive thoughts", they have no fucking clue how debilitating it is to have ocd

I hate that so many people aren’t aware of this. Like having intrusive thoughts is a sign that your subconscious really DOESNT want you to do the thing. That’s why the thoughts are so upsetting. You’re not a bad person omg

I cannot stress this enough: queer people don’t care if kids aren’t queer. What we do care about is queer children becoming queer adults and not dying before they get there. It really is that simple. Any additional context you’ve added to justify your bigotry is your own fiction.

A lot of people love that fake Voltaire quote, "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize," because it's just vague enough to cover everyone's differing definition of who they are. Obviously the neo-Nazi who made this quote up meant it to imply Jewish people, but there's actually lots of different groups that aren't considered socially acceptable targets of specified critique.

You know who no one ever lets me criticize? Orphans. Anytime I try to point out that orphans are living lavishly at the expense of hardworking taxpayers, people around me always seem to get disgusted. Naturally, this suggests that we live in a world ruled by orphans

i think ultimately it doesn't matter how you personally feel about these people dying. socially they are our enemies, and socially the rescue effort towards them was a demonstration of the stratification that exists between them and us. at the same time the navies of the capitalist nations mounted massive expeditions in favour of a handful of their ruling class, they also consigned hundreds of impoverished global-south workers to a cold, watery grave. we can all wish that if we were lost at sea, there would be rescue sent for us, but their rescuers are not meant for us. as a human, the idea of any person suffocating in a dark metal tube horrifies me, and I'm sure their families weep. but again, it doesn't matter how I personally feel - this isn't personal. on a societal level, on a *class* level, these people are our enemies. let our enemies commemorate them, and let us work to stop them from killing more of us.

I think I dislike ‘fuck canon fanon rulez’ takes because time after time I see how boring and predictable fanon is and how often it reinforces racism and misogyny etc. in ways canon never did

and I think having to work around canon and with canon to make something new usually ends up pushing people to make something weirder and cooler

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.

 A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish. Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"

Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.”

The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”

Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal? What would my Mom think of that?” Values are transmitted from generation to generation. What values are we teaching our children? Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

Friendly reminder that calling Zuckerburg a lizard or alien is antisemitic and echoes New World Order propaganda about Jews. Zuckerberg is an ethnic Jew, and insinuating that he's something inhuman only contributes to the current resurgence of neo-Nazi views

simple things that would dramatically improve this website

  • content label specifically for flashing
  • ability to see the image you’re describing when writing alt text
  • permanent “keep tumblr live off my dash” button
  • ability to add closed captions on videos
  • blocking someone filters their posts from ur dash
  • mutuals only posts
  • filtered tags filtering blazed posts
  • switching a blog from sideblog to main blog
  • sending asks/replies/etc from sideblogs
  • while blocking someone’s main blog you have the option to also block their sideblogs
  • not slapping mature labels on sfw queer posts
  • keep “following” the default tab
  • get rid of the spambots (not simple but by god would it improve the website)
  • get rid of the t.rfs/nazis/other bigots (not simple but they could start by actually acting on the reports they get)

so is no one going to talk about the fact that mcdonalds basically took over the mcdonalds wiki for a promotion about grimace's birthday and had fandom wiki remove the admin's ability to prevent vandalism and edits to the wiki and now it's entirely just a corporate advertisement despite admins working on the wiki to make it updated and accurate for the past 8 years

yeah it looks like this now

wait why does a corporation have a fandom wiki in the first place? is that not advertisement itself?

not actually!

the wiki prior to this was used for documentation, which while, it was documentation primarily about advertisement, it was not a 'hi, bye your burgers,' and more so 'this is what McDonald's did in this year. it had this marketing campaign that involves these points.' or even 'mcdonalds sold pizzas at these locations in this year" and was really just about saying 'this happened' as opposed to 'buy this' if that makes sense

the change by McDonalds for what basically amounts to a volunteer led archive being turned into a copywritten advertisment masquerading as documentation has horrifying connotations and meaning for what one of the worlds most popular wikis will accept in the name of profit
