I think adults need summer vacation. Like let's just close down all our jobs for three months and play outside. Please. I'm so tired.
Love to see this post getting notes again. None of us are ok.
actual Tumblr Social Justice problems:
- antisemitism is often veiled as “combating white supremacy” - lack of focus on mental illnesses besides depression - honest mistakes tend to be poorly dealt with - “callout culture” (people looking for others to mess up, solely in order to defame them) - in-depth education on terms tends to be scarce, leading to people having only a vague understanding of terms, and using them - bigots are able to redefine these (poorly-defined) terms in ways that hurt the oppressed - emotional manipulation / guilt-tripping (“i see my followers ignoring this”; “why is nobody talking about this?”)
re-reblogging cause i thought of things
- Excessive and abusive punishment of young teenagers over mistakes made in discourse they don’t completely understand by bloggers much older than they are
- US-centrism
- Reliance on fear of retribution for spread of information (contributes to rapid spread of misinformation)
- Moral absolutism - the line between “perfect innocent angel” and “disgusting shit trash” can be as thin as one mistake
- Reliance on followed blogs for education about social issues
I was looking through very, very old Likes of mine and came across this gem from 2015. It’s disturbing how antisemitism on the left has only become more pervasive in that time.
wow great job guys we fixed exactly none of these
I’m bored and nosy. Please reblog this with the book you’re currently reading.

so the average american is not aware of the controversy surrounding jk rowling, like this is a very online kind of knowledge to have. I mean that there are people who fully know I'm trans who talk about harry potter to me and there's no awareness of any of the discourse surrounding the work that's been going on for years, and idk where I'm going with this but sometimes there's a huge gulf between what we expect people to naturally know by virtue of us being on tumblr versus people who are not
all of us snoopy, all of us
I just wanna go to the beach at night just to listen to the waves
"When life gives you lemons" FALSE LEMONS ARE A HYBRID OF A BITTER ORANGE AND A CITRON, MEANING WE GAVE OURSELVES LEMONS
I have big news about like 85% of our problems
yeh. this tracks
idk who needs to hear this but just bc it's ending doesn't mean it never happened !!!! wonderful memories are not simply undone because the person is no longer in your life. it counts for something. and it's okay to look back with fondness bc that was still time invested no matter what
Star of the morning, collapsed in the weeds.
my sleep schedule is fucked and i have an 8am flight so guess who's pulling another all nighter! it's me!
What the actual fuck
Boycott this goddamn song contest. Now. And forever.
watching tiktok speak makes me so nostalgic for old tumblr like so many things from tiktok that are modern are from the pits of 2015-2018 tumblr and no one knows
More luck! Bring it on!
