@it-is-lume

Lume (he/him) My icon is digitized bathroom tiles. No I don't want to explain it (It's complicated and ADHD fueled nonsense) nor would I want to change it. Also: No place for bigotry here!

I think it's time for me to do this whole new introduction postt thing-y considering the previous one was outdated.

Heya my guys(gender neutral)!

I'm Lume, pronounced /'lu.me/ (or to those who can't read phonetic transcription, it's quite near to english "LOO-may")

I'm a cis guy from down south in the southern hemisphere, BR to be precise. I'm gay and try my absolute best to be understanding of all other parts of the LGBTQ+ community. Although I have found out that I'm not ace I still wish to be friendly and understanding to try and become a great ally to all aces, aros and aroaces.

I love horror in countless forms (watch out because it is possible that you might come across untagged gore in my blog), analog horror, horror games, horror movies and literature.

I also am a massive Minecraft fan and general Mcyt enjoyer, you'll see a lot of it, believe me.

I am a big fan of countless genres of music. I am able to at least vibe with most genres to some extent and can count in my hands the genres that I cannot stand.

I am also a passionate hater of showerthoughts in any way shape or form, maybe that's because of my ADHD maybe that's me being unfair but I don't care either way. Fuck showerthoughts!

I love a lot of animals and a lot of plants even though understanding very little about them.

I'm a fan of weird and unknown/unusual trivia and facts that for some reason I find fascinating.

I love science and academia! Anti-intelectualism has no place here, also READ MORE BOOKS!

I try my best for fight for justice and against prejudice and bigotry every place they might be found.

For a rounding end to this introdution I would like to wish all Fascists, Nazis, Neo-Nazis, Far Right Nationalists, Ultranationalists, TERFs/Gender Critical Scum, Racists, Homophobes (and all other queerphobes) and general bigots a merry PERISH, and get out of my blog and the internet. Try to contribute something useful to society instead of wasting precious air and water.

That's all I can think to say, hope you enjoy it here!

Ciao!

Also please be safe online, the amount of pervs, creeps and bad actors who seek to abuse minors in horrifyingly large, keep yourselves safe on the internet.

Listen I love all these shenanigans but frankly if a man could cause tnt to spawn in a very specific place I would just. Not keep poking him.

listen the thing with grian is that he is fundamentally incapable of not escalating. he'll come up with a bad idea. say, out loud, "this is a bad idea that nothing good can come from". he will then. do it anyway. because he has no impulse control. and then when he inevitably faces consequences for the action he predicted ahead of time would have consequences. he is surprised pikachu face offended that there are CONSEQUENCES for his ACTIONS? absurd. he'll have to escalate again. surely this time there won't be -

To non Professor Layton fans

Professor Layton is a series with a lot of puzzles and heartwarming stories but sometimes it can get pretty dark.

twitter is broken today 😭 are there any other ways that people search for anthologies to apply to?

might not be broken actually! Might be working as intended!

OH FUCK! okay twitter is dead, that’s amazing. this is a death blow. does he not understand that the platform relies on addictive doom scrolling, and that people actively want to quit but can’t because it activates all the right brain chemicals? this is wonderful for me at least, with Elon’s help I can finally kick this particular addiction.

If a flaming old queen in a cape wants to kill off racists in power I say have at it

That wasn’t even his plan!! His plan was to make the senator a mutant, so he’d have to advocate for mutants or be destroyed by his own policy, and tbh. It’s the best villain plan I’ve ever seen. The goo was the plan unexpectedly failing. 9/10 only bc he was going to kill Rogue. Next time use someone willing to sacrifice herself for the cause, pls. No further notes

did you guys know that there are people on twitter right now earnestly arguing that a kpop group’s upcoming album needs to be boycotted because it is secretly meant to be celebrating a basque separatist movement. they are entirely serious 

Still remember when a homo- and transphobic acquaintance tried to bring up JKR’s views on trans people in conversation and I shut it down with «oh yeah she’s been saying a lot of dumb shit on Twitter after she finished writing Harry Potter, like when she claimed Dumbledore was gay, just to be politically correct», which made it absolutely impossible for him to admit that he agreed with anything JKR had ever said. Sometimes you just have to weaponise people’s homophobia against their transphobia.

Other ways to stop family members/acquaintances from going on bigoted rants:

  • «Isn’t this all a bit silly? I mean, I’m more concerned about the economy/the war in Ukraine/covid/my job» - weaponised whataboutism
  • «Do you work with a lot of trans people? Because it seems like this is a problem you frequently encounter in everyday life from the way you talk about it» and when they say they don’t, follow up with «well then I don’t see what you’re making such a fuss about»
  • «Idk, I haven’t been much on social media lately, I think Twitter is a waste of time» - make them feel like they’re the ones who are terminally online
  • «Idk, I’m not that concernced with other people’s genitals and sex lives» - creep shaming

The point is that I’ve used all of these in various contexts and they’ve saved a good number of dinner table conversations from derailing into pointless debating. You don’t de-radicalise friends and family members by entering into political discussions they initiate just to stir up shit. You de-radicalise them by shifting the focus away from their shitty opinions and onto the things you have in common and the practical everyday stuff that exists outside their internet echo chambers.

idk man Clarence Thomas pulling the ladder up behind him striking down affirmative action yesterday, the fucking gay wedding web design ruling wasn't even real it was hypothetical someone really said well no one has asked me to design a website for their gay wedding but if they did wouldn't that be fucked up and the court just went whoa yeah that's so fucked we can't let that happen, and then they're like well we've all been receiving bribes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for years but we can't forgive 20k worth of student loan debt that's just crazy... like everything is just so absurd I can't really wrap my mind around it
