i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

whenever i hear about hustle culture i always think about this post on r/antiwork

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

[ID: a tweet made by @/downstar_ao3 that reads as follows: "Just a reminder that fictional characters aren't real people who need to be held to account for their actions. They are vehicles to tell a story.

Their flaws and contradictions are a feature and not a bug. And appreciating the role they play in the story is not a moral failing."]

[ID: An image of an adult woman showing a baby a toy. It has been edited to feature a speech bubble which comes from the adult woman and is mostly cut off by the top of the image.]

Check for understanding:

  1. What is the message of the tweet? Why might have the original OP made it?
  2. Why might have the Tumblr OP posted the screenshot of this tweet?
  3. Why did stereomike add the image that she did? What is she saying?

So crazy that Gaylors invent broad LGBT subtext in her songs out of wholecloth when they could just listen to Utada Hikaru instead.

Listen, okay? Simple And Clean, probably one of Utada's most famous songs due to being used for Kingdom Hearts, is a song about forbidden love and complicated situations that very specifically never genders either of the people involved in this relationship.

Utada "What makes you think I'm straight?" Hikaru did this on purpose.

also they're openly non-binary
