He/Him Nothing less than a magnificent dumbass relentlessly reminding the world he exists... One wasp nest in a church at a time...

My best friend loves rob pattinson and over the years she sent me a lot of articles/quotes of him, so here are some of my favourites

(there is A LOT more, this man is INSANE)

Bonus:

Somewhere along the line Pattinson figured out the celebrity interview was 95% bullshit social contract with zero penalty associated with breaking it and ever since then he's turned them into his own personal postmodern entertainment project. I appreciate him for it.

I know I'm far from the only one to say this, but I'm going to miss The Owl House. The finale was such a beautiful send-off, and I loved every moment of it. Hell, just the fact that Luz's Titan form looked kind of edgy and demonic made me grin ear to ear. It's just so validating to see a heroic character drawn in a way that would have been made to look villainous when I was growing up. Hell, the fact that the main villain, Belos, just gets curbstomped in the end was beautiful as well. It shows that some people, often those our society has heralded as heroes for centuries, are villains beyond redemption made me feel like I and those like me are not evil in some mysterious, ill-defined-but-still-somehow-apparent way.

Today is a good day to be a weirdo. I doubt the creative team will ever see this random Tumblr post, but I give them my undying thanks all the same.

Glory to us weirdos!

look at me. listen to me. bigots and queerphobes don’t know the distinction between a trans person, a gnc cis gay person, and a cisgender heterosexual crossdresser. all of these people are just queer degenerates to them. that is why their anti-drag bills are written so vaguely as to encompass any possible mundane gender nonconformity - so they can target as many of us as possible in one ruling. and that’s why you need to stop trying to put lines between these groups in regards to ‘who’s more oppressed’ and ‘who has the right to talk about gender’ - gender nonconformity and transgenderism are punished in exactly the same way. cut one of us and the other bleeds. our fight is the same.

And EVEN if they weren’t, all of us are obligated to protect the most vulnerable of us. We need to let go of the mindset that liberation stops at ourselves. But we protect others because NONE OF US ARE FREE UNTIL ALL OF US ARE FREE. I’ll say that again. NONE OF US ARE FREE UNTIL ALL OF US ARE FREE.

I’m a cis man sure but i also wanna opt out of the gender binary. None of that shit is my fault or my responsibility and i don’t want any part of it

Believing the gender binary is stupid horseshit doesn’t require me to change my gender actually

Yeaheyah you get it. Not trans but i believe in their beliefs. Sometimes i remember people form gender complexes around what alcoholic beverages or colors they like and i just wonder how they’re not fucking exhausted from keeping up this stupid fucking horseshit. Just do whatever you want forever

Gross porn blogs:

What is it about my page that entices you? I’m not interested! Get lost!

Let’s say someone is looking for porn and they put “wife caught her husband cheating,” into Google. There are a lot of porn sites (and some news sites) with that title. So Google has to decide which order to show them in, because most of the time, people pick something off the first few pages of Google.

Google wants to have the very best “wife caught her husband cheating” (or whatever else you search for) sites on the first page of the search. Google has several ways to try and decide which site are the best, but one of them is that it looks at how popular it is by seeing how many other websites link to it. If a lot of other sites are linking to it, it was probably useful to them, so Google will put it on the front page.

So if I’m a sleazy pornsite owner, I could create like a thousand websites and make them all link to my “wife caught her husband cheating” site, and act like a whole bunch of different websites thought it was pretty great. They’d be like “xdfgt .com”, “xdfgy .com”, “xdfgh .com,” just nonsense addresses nobody else was using, or whatever. I’d try to make Google think my site was awesome, because all these other websites are linking to it.

But Google has already caught on to that. Google would know “xdfgt .com” was a crappy fake website, because nobody else is linking to “xdfgt .com”. Any website that is only linked to by crap websites is also crap, as far as Google is concerned. Google won’t put it on the first pages of search results.

So instead let’s imagine the sleazy pornsite owner creates a thousand fake tumblrs instead, like “xdfgt.tumblr .com” and “xdfgy.tumblr .com” and “xdfgh.tumblr .com” and just puts one or two posts on them to add links to the “wife caught her husband cheating” porn site. Google can still tell those tumblrs are crap websites, because nobody else is linking to them. But the difference is … on tumblr, the sleazy pornsite owner can make your website link to him.

Let’s say your tumblr is “mostlyaestheticandfunny.tumblr .com”. If “xdfgt.tumblr .com” likes one of your posts, there’s link on your blog to “xdfgt.tumblr .com.” Somewhere on “mostlyaestheticandfunny.tumblr .com” it will say “xdfgt liked this” with a link from your blog to “xdfgt.tumblr .com.”

Google’s bot looks at “mostlyaestheticandfunny.tumblr .com” and it sees that your blog is a good website. People are linking to it (talking to you or reblogging from you), you write like an actual human being, you have nice pictures, you update sometimes, you aren’t a bot. So Google decides your blog isn’t a crappy scam website. Then it sees the link to “xdfgt.tumblr .com” and it thinks “oh hey, a nice website with good stuff written by a real human linked to this “xdfgt.tumblr .com” I guess maybe “xdfgt.tumblr .com” is a decent website too.”

Then it looks at “xdfgt.tumblr .com” and it sees the link to the porn site with “wife caught her husband cheating”, and it says, “well, I guess that “wife caught her husband cheating” site is a good site. I know that because there’s a good site linking to it here at “xdfgt.tumblr .com.” I know “xdfgt.tumblr .com” is a good site because “mostlyaestheticandfunny.tumblr .com” linked to it, and I know “mostlyaestheticandfunny.tumblr .com” is a good site because it is updated and writes like a real person and people talk to it and link to it.”

So basically the porn bots are using the fact that you have a good blog to make themselves look better and to try and trick Google’s bot into thinking they’re very popular and it should put them at the top of its list when people search Google for porn.

It’s really annoying! It would be really nice if the people running tumblr figured out a way to not be free advertising for every sleazy porn site on the internet

hey wow thats actually really useful! and its written in a way that i (a bird with no knowledge of the wizardly internal workings of a website) can understand!

Despite every moment of life being indescribably precious and a wondrous mystery, I will spend it caring about dividends and how many rental properties I have.

Rich people are truly dead inside. 

I can't imagine caring this much about numbers that absolutely will never impact my life. This person is making more in passive income than I've ever made in my life and he's just like "but but I need more :(".

I mean, fuck that guy, but psychologically it's interesting.

Some desperate remnant of his soul knows what he needs. As soon as his debt is cleared, he goes on to live what many would call an utterly charmed life: working no more than 20 hours a week, travelling and spending time with friends (which he, at $150,000 a year and no mortgage, has ample money to do). He has a loving relationship also.

But his brain is so rotten that he cannot understand happiness anymore. He is incapable of conceptualising it other than in money.

A man who has everything except the ability to feel it.

How poetic.

But fuck that guy.

I want to hit this man.

I want to rob this man.

Meow appears beside Rogue, holding a sign: "Heist? Heist."

This man is so so so close to realizing a fundamental truth to how humans operate, but I genuinely don’t think he’s going to get there. Although I’m not sure he realizes it this man views the money he earns as a direct translation of his sense of personal achievement and engagement. 

Which means that when he says he regrets the months he didn’t pick up more hours to earn more money, what he’s describing here is boredom. He’s doing it in the crassest, shallowest, most income-obsessed and unattainable for most of us way possible, yes. But this man is expressing that once he achieved a certain financial goal he relaxed, enjoyed himself, got bored, realized on some level he was understimulated, and then started working more hours to meet whatever stimulated activity threshold he personally needs. 

This is infuriating because this man experienced the counter-argument to that nonsensical talking point that if we meet people’s financial needs with a universal basic income they’ll grow lazy and won't do anything. 

Anyone trying to develop $200,000 in passive annual income is not working three minimum-wage jobs to live paycheck-to-paycheck. This man’s basic financial needs were met. Working more hours to make more money is just his own personal code for ‘I still needed to use my mind to do things’ (using what might be the only metric of personal achievement he might actually have). This man lived the argument for universal basic income and I genuinely don’t think he realizes that. Once his basic income needs were met he still needed to do things to keep himself stimulated and engaged with his own life.

You see a version of this play out with retirees who leave their jobs, go home, and very quickly find themselves in need of new activities or friends or engagements to keep them present and stimulated in their lives. Ensuring someone’s basic financial needs are met doesn’t make them stop doing things, humans don’t work that way.

Reblogging for the psychology lessons

imgoingtogobacktheresomeday-dea

There is, I believe, a line in an Agatha Christie story about a man so desperately unhappy he doesn’t know he’s unhappy. “Ah, a rich man,” responds the nun.

Can you imagine having your soul so utterly shredded into nothing that even after achieving financial security, you still feel want for money? These people are out here screaming with their whole chests the reason why the rich must be taxed, and because the politicians they hire to keep their income growing endlessly are tasked with keeping that delusion fed and not to spend even an instant introspecting, we are all stuck fighting for scraps. At this point, I can scarcely call people like this human. If anything, they're just zombies with good skincare.

If by some twisted nightmare one of those hired flunkees happens across this post, I would propose you give these miserable nobles their much-needed prescription. Their Greed is not only turning them into zombies, but it is actively killing all of us less wealthy than them, and the planet we all inhabit AND CANNOT LEAVE FOR THE FORESEEABLE AND DISTANT FUTURE. May Dickens' ghosts give you all a wild night.

My dear lgbt+ kids,

Any variant of "Human beings are by default bad" has the same problem: it actually protects those who choose to be bad.

Let's look at some examples:

"Straight people just can't relate to those who are different" actually gives those people who choose to say homophobic stuff a perfect excuse to do so. After all this means it's not their fault, straight people just are like that, there is nothing they could do about it! ... which obviously isn't true.

"Men are designed to be aggressive and violent, it's their nature" actually gives those men who choose to act violently a perfect excuse to do so. After all this means it's not their fault, men just are like that, there is nothing they could do about it! ... which obviously isn't true.

Your behavior isn't determined by your sexual orientation or your gender. People of all sexes, genders and orientations are capable of behaving in compassionate, calm and kind ways.

Men are perfectly capable of treating women with respect. Straight people are perfectly capable of being allies for gay people. Acknowledging that doesn't take away from the fight for equal rights - far from that, it actually highlights that equal rights are possible.

People can change their attitudes, people can change their behavior.

For some people it's easy to behave that way, others actively need to work on it and of course there are internal and external factors that can influence this - but we want to encourage them to work on it. We don't want to hand them a golden excuse not to work on it.

With all my love,

Okay, here's my idea:

The British should put a time limit on the Monarchy.

Not like declaring a republic tomorrow, but deciding on a date in the future that ends the British Monarchy.

And there's a perfect date for it coming up!

October 14th, 2066.

A thousand years since the Battle of Hastings. A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England.

Call time on the Monarchy after exactly one thousand years. Nice, and neat.

Even better: Charles isn't living 44 years. He'll be gone in about twenty. Now William? He's what, 40? Yeah, he can live another 44 years. His great grandmother was over a hundred, his granny was 96, William can make it to 84 barring accident or assassination.

So on October 14th 2066, William the Last steps down a thousand years after William the First won the crown.

Nice, neat, and fair. William gets the crown he's been waiting forty years for already, but ten-year-old George grows up without expectation of it.

Have a nice big abdication ceremony, even.

Plus, what an absolute baller move to announce your regnal name as William the Last.

Elon wyd

I genuinely wish I could see inside Musk’s head or at least get an explanation for how he was thinking his plans would work out.

Like it’s clear now he is fantastically out of touch with reality but I still really wanna know like, to what degree. Did he think people would accept his ultimatum? Did he genuinely think it would only take like 300 people to keep Twitter running?

I was an intern at SpaceX years ago, back it when it was a much smaller company — after Elon got hair plugs, but before his cult of personality was in full swing. I have some insight to offer here.

Back when I was at SpaceX, Elon was basically a child king. He was an important figurehead who provided the company with the money, power, and PR, but he didn’t have the knowledge or (frankly) maturity to handle day-to-day decision making and everyone knew that. He was surrounded by people whose job was, essentially, to manipulate him into making good decisions.

This meme is tongue in cheek, but this too is part of class warfare. In this case, keeping the law too complex for non-experts to even begin to have a chance to understand it means that only those who can afford to hire experts can protect themselves adequately and engage in ventures and activities that don’t directly relate to subsistence.

reminder that, as far as anyone knows, this man is literally 100% cisgender. this is fantastic. I love him ever so

This is a streamer, and one of his chat rewards for subs/bits/etc is “girl month,” where he dresses like a girl and does his make up for a whole month.

Last I heard, his chat had gotten him to, like, 6 months straight of “girl month.”

This man is cis. He is not trans, and has no desire to transition.

He just wanted to do something fun for his chat, and he has a great time. He looks comfortable, he doesn’t make a mockery of women or femininity. It’s just wholesome cross dressing fun.

Hey, a bro’s gotta hustle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I saw a clip with not much context but I’m pretty sure Finn found the guy who sends him 30k a month’s PayPal and has limited them to $3 max per donation sdhshfbbd

Avatar

okay, but the actual video of Finn blocking this follower (TenMuses, who offered him $300,000 to get breast implants and later paid $300k for him to do voice training) is pretty unsettling? the guy’s like 40yo, a doctor with kids, has insane amounts of money that he regularly spends on Finn & femboy streamers, and he’s out here pressuring a 22yo who left college into what looks like am unwilling findom relationship, which other fans have noticed and been weirded out by. He keeps insisting Finn wants to be a woman & tries to influence him into a dom/sub relationship in increasingly unsettling ways, despite the immense disparity in their age, fiscal resources, education, etc. Ten uses mind games, sends inappropriate gifts, and weaponizes the social approval of Finn’s chat to add social pressure to his tactics. it’s grooming, plain and simple

This guy also became enraged at Finn for limiting his donations (which is tantamount to undermining his physical power over Finn), and then baited him with the offer of making a $25K donation to a trans nonprofit—which is an amazing thing! but also, a very hard offer to turn down without looking like a dick—if Finn groveled and apologized to him, unblocked his financials, was a “good girl”, etc. Finn tried to draw a line around being fiscally coerced, and this dude used it as an opportunity to publicly humiliate him.

combined with the social pressure of a fanbase who either A. support the “bit” because they think it’s funny, B. are trans/GNC and inspired by Finn, making it easy to project their experiences on him as an “egg” and root for him to “truly understand himself,” and/or C. are idealizing Ten as a trans ally/sugar daddy that they ship this 22yo with—it all makes for some pretty rocky social terrain which, paired with large fiscal incentives, makes for immense pressure to disregard personal boundaries and behave in certain, widely-desired ways

I trust that this Finn dude’s doing the best he can to make choices he’s comfortable with, but streamers regularly have to make decisions regarding their financial security without the mental distance offered by a “normal” job. that makes it easy to undermine the significance of what you’re being asked (or forced) to do, especially when it’s presented as though you’re the one making the choice. this makes it even harder to recognize the harmful effects of such situations. I know he’s getting mad money, but mental health hinges on more than just a bank statement. I hope Finn knows he’s in control the entire time, and that he can and should do whatever feels the most comfortable for him. No one should have to sacrifice their personal autonomy and identity for a paycheck

I'm so glad more people are talking about how creepy TenMuses acts. Finn's an adult, and can certainly make his own decisions regarding how he runs his platform, but this guy is something else. I don't know how well I could handle something this unsettling.

“BDSM is sex for autistic people” post is funny to me because me and my bf realized that we’re both lapsed Catholics and to us it’s more like “BDSM is catholicism for gay people”

How dare you satanists involve the Catholic faith in your rituals. You won’t be turned on when the devil puts you to the lash for your crimes against God.
