Not to be dramatic, but I think hugging Peter Falk in the rain would cure me
Strange that it never occured to me. There are times I've been so upset that I've stamped around while cussing, that I've lain flat on the floor and groaned for as long as I had breath, that I've ranted my frustration aloud in an unhinged monologue, that I've swung my limbs about in a fury. All until I'd vented enough to just ... resume my normal life.
And if I'd had not the privacy of my home, I'd either have had to bottle that all up ... or open it all up where the public could scrutinize my every move. It really is a privilege to not be constantly on display like that.
[ID: tweet by Lydia Kiesling @ lydiakiesling, "Housed people have the privilege of having their worst moments in private; unhoused people don't. That gives some people the mistaken impression that the person they see acting belligerent on the street is and will be that person every single moment of their life."]
Also consider how you must look every time you're sick for any reason. Everyone gets delirious with fever now and then, everyone gets stomach cramps where they're doubled over moaning in pain, now imagine how much more often that happens to people with no clean facilities. I can't count how often I've heard or seen someone complain about a homeless "druggie" and the behavior they're describing is significantly more likely to come from food poisoning than drug withdrawals.
Not that drug addiction isn't also a medical condition that warrants medical care, but the fact is a large number of people will attribute literally all of an unhoused person's displays of pain, exhaustion or discomfort up to drugs and alcohol.
Autistic people are like, “yeah I love following rules” and then proceed to rip apart the gender binary
I love following good rules. bad rules keep me from following better ones so I put them through a meat grinder and see what happens

The official rules suck, I have written my own.
the rules have to be consistent or they’re not the real rules
there are very few things less consistent than the gender binary
That’s not a contradiction at all. “I love following rules” means “I love having clear instructions instead of them being implied”. It doesn’t mean “I love obeying authority” or “I love conforming”.
People: gender is a RIDGED, SOLID THING and it only looks like THIS
Me: why
People: Because!
Me, arming my catapult: Hold on a sec i wanna test something
THIS.
Sensible rules make sense. Do This thing in This way or That will happen.
Easy.
“b/c that’s how we’ve always done it”?
yeah fuck that noise
Suddenly it makes sense why I’ve averaged more than a job a year for my entire adult life…
I realised I never put together a single post with all the pirate au stuff so here it is!
honestly a lot of innocuous funny animal stuff (usually reposted vids and pictures) that makes the rounds here is straight up just posted by fash. like they might have an unremarkable blog but if you dig through their notes and see who’s chatting with them on their selfies and personal posts it’s always mask-off shit like. liberty-tradition88 and rhodesia4evr.
i don't always notice but sometimes it's from an OP with a username like traditionrespector or noticingthings or gunsandheritage and it's like. guys. what are we even doing here. i know this is the not-looking-at-usernames website but still.
Uh, okay, this kind of sounds like every single tumblr user should be familiar with and check all usernames for potential dogwhistles as well as do a background check on every post they reblog?
Even if that was not the original intention behind it, that's kind how it comes off.
me: [states an observation]
you: this makes me feel like you’re asking me to do chores. don’t you feel bad about making me feel like I’m being asked to do chores? I’m baby. can’t you see I’m baby? shame on you. I’m only a little baby.
Anonymous asked:
whatre your thoughts on tiktok considering its mostly spyware and nobody believes me ☹️
okay so tiktok isn't anymore "mostly spyware" than facebook or google and i have yet to hear a single justification for why tiktok is any different that isn't just sinophobia repackaged into smart sounding political and technological arguments. which isn't to say that's great, but like just please don't fall for weird sinophobic or US nationalist arguments.
also my extremely hot take is that if we're living in a world where we can at best pick between which government is spying on me i'd in a lot of cases rather pick the government that doesn't have any impact in my jurisdiction, being watched by the chinese government will forever impact me less than being watched by the US or any european government.
absolutely not at all a pro big platforms or pro government surveillance take, just like a bit of a relative view on things.
it’s always the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known, but never the Irritating Ordeal of Being Known

Yes, these Muppets have taken Manhatten. The question now is can they HOLD it
No offense but the internet gives you the most wrong and fucked up idea of helping people because people get mad if you don't care about disasters happening in 72 countries, meanwhile the people in real life that are doing the most good picked one VERY SPECIFIC thing to care about and care about it REALLY HARD
Walks up to a guy working on restoring a native tree species to his downtown "why aren't you posting about grasses in Turkmenistan!"
The internet has taken a whole generation of bright, motivated, passionate young people who care and have big hearts and turned them into paralyzed, shattered wrecks too crushed by the weight of the world's pain to hand a pair of socks to a person in need
As a disabled kid who was in the same phys ed class as everyone else with predictably horrifying results, HARD SAME
“Nobody should have to compete against people with biological advantages in the biological advantage assessment game!”
in middle school our grade in PE was how well we did in comparison to the rest of the class.
got the fastest mile? congrats, you have the 100%. the rest of us? we were fucked. fuck effort, fuck improvement, fuck participation and attitude, it was all about competition.
as a little kid, I enjoyed community sports a lot, and then around middle school i got heavier and worse at running and suddenly sports were just... off limits. the focus was entirely on being a good, competitive team and "kids having a fun time, getting exercise, and making friends" meant nothing. refusing to allow trans kids to play is the exact same principle
