“tumblr is an echo chamber where people only see opinions of other people they agree with” please be serious. i have longtime beloved mutuals who are swifties. your experience is not universal
There should be people on your dash that you don't completely agree with. People that introduce you to media and ideas you never would have interacted with or cared about otherwise. People who teach you things you didn't know needed to be learned.
Experiencing differences is a fundamental part of expanding your own existence.
If you aren't encountering that, well...
There is such a thing as over curating your online existence.
When I was a (unmedicated, undiagnosed ADHD) kid, like, under 12, my room was a mess all the time. Not shocking.
I struggled keeping it clean.
I struggled getting it clean.
I would sincerely put in quite a bit of effort and be really proud of the progress I made. Then one of my parents would come check and see how I was doing.
"Well, you've still got a long way to go."
That sentence. I was like, 11 when my parents were saying that to me. It was crushing. All my pride and satisfaction with my work was completely gone. All my effort was worthless to them. All they saw what everything I didn't do.
At the age of ELEVEN, I knew that wasn't right. That wasn't fair. I swore to myself I would never invalidate someone's work like that.
Now, at 30, I catch myself thinking 'I cleaned up, but my apartment is still so messy.' and I flashback to standing in my bedroom as a child, hearing those fucking words from my parents.
'No. I wouldn't invalidate someone else's work. I'm not going to invalidate my own. I did good. I made progress.' and I'll list the things that I DID get done to myself.
You deserve credit for all the progress you make.
You deserve credit for all the work you do.
It doesn't matter how much work you have left.
What you accomplish, no matter how small, counts. Even when what you accomplished was taking a day to rest and recharge and give yourself a break.
Never let anyone invalidate your work. Not even you.
click on one. then see read more for what it means
it actually annoys the shit out if me when people act like ww2 isn't something that you need to learn about anymore. like no actually that's all still very important sorry
like yes the guys who just salivate over which weapons killed the most people are fucking weird, no argument there, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't know about the various war crimes committed by literally every country involved. it's all still very much relevant, the 1940s wasn't really that long ago, all things considered.
8 US senators and 22 US Representatives were alive during ww2
Surprised I hadn't seen this cross posted over here
Liquid Death is renaming their Armless Palmer iced tea and lemonade to Dead Billionaire because Arnold Palmer's estate threatened to sue for the use of the word Palmer. What a brand

“ncuti didn’t have a proper entrance” to YOU. all I saw was him getting treated as the main hero the moment he stepped onto the screen. Getting to call David Tennant a decrepit old man while also being like “shhhh kiddo go play with your friends I got this now” and having the best entrance of any of the doctors I’ve seen so far??
and then there's the people getting offended on Ncuti's behalf that he had to share any space at all when the actual dynamic between the actors is this
like...
they're good here, kids
A collection of facts:
A logical conclusion:
I saw a thing and thought it seemed like something you might find cool
-This is GENIUS-Systlin-
This video is from 2021 but still holds true to this day.
It's of a Palestinian child telling an Israeli soilder to get off her land.
And this, this is unironically the biggest threat to Israel.
That the people of the world are not with them.
That they are exposed as the illegal occupation colonising land that does not belong to them, while they try to wipe out the indigenous Palestinian population.
A six year old child telling them this land isn't there's, that's what they are most afraid of.
50% of Gaza is made up of children like this.
This is who Israel want to wipe out.
Hamas even used a recording of 2 children speaking in Arabic and the Israeli soilders came running.
Not because they knew Hamas was there, but because they heard the sound of children and came running with their guns.
They are the terrorists.
They are the ones carpet combing civilians, killing Palestinians and Israeli civilians.
They are the monsters.
But they aren't feared.
the “he doesn’t get it cause he’s male presenting” was a bit silly to me like. the doctor can’t let things go bcus it’s a character trait for him, not bcus of his current gender presentation. he just be like that

To lump the “you in the wheelchair!!! i’ve seen you walking!!!” in with the “how dare an alien ask how i am” and “redheads are suspicious” irrational rants in the doctor who the giggle episode was a brilliant move because it shows the audience exactly how stupid and mean ableist people look

Let's show up for Yemen.
