“This representation was groundbreaking for the time and a lot of people liked it” and “This may have aged poorly and many modern audiences from the group don’t feel represented by it and are bothered by aspects of it” are not mutually exclusive

see also: “it’s okay to feel uncomfortable with these pieces of media due to their clumsy—if not harmful—depictions” and “some people still enjoy them, despite their flaws, especially older people who grew up without the same amount of representation we have today, and it’s not your place to tell someone they can’t like it”

we need less reassuring people by saying "dont worry, thats not weird!" and more "who cares if its weird or not? its not hurting anyone"

do it weird style. freak it up

'Caravans coming' redux.

Republicans have the lamest nativist bullshit. Eating your pet animals is straight out of Nazi playbook.

"I don't care that much about wrinkles and gray hair, I'm more worried about keeping my worldview flexible enough that when I'm older I don't condescendingly tell young people to play by the rules that worked in my day, with no concern for whether or not those rules still apply 🤷‍♀️". End of ID.]

“We hope this email finds you well” babe, the only emails I hope find me well are the ones from Archive of Our Own

Something that helps

If you blurt out something that you thought would be funny but it comes across as insensitive, just quickly say, “I’m sorry, that was rude, what I meant was…”

If you say something in anger or frustration, take a breath and say, “I’m sorry, that was hurtful, let me rephrase…”

If you say something heartfelt, but it comes across as insincere or ironic, say “That sounds like I’m just saying it, but I’m being truly honest…”

If you accidentally tell the waiter “enjoy your meal” just laugh and say a quick “so sorry, my brain isn’t working today!” and you will most likely get a commiserating chuckle in return.

Most of the time, the other person will accept your apology with no harm done. Sometimes they even insist they understood what you meant the first time and clarification was not needed. At times, maybe they have a right to be upset, but it never hurts to apologize again so they know that you’re taking their feelings into account.

Repeat after me. It’s okay to be bad at conversation. Knowing how to apologize makes it easier.

Completely agreed on all this!

Wanted to add on that this works for other forms of talking as well! If you have any presentations or official shit it works great for keeping yourself calm (and sometimes impressing the audience).

You have a presentation and say something objectively wrong? Don’t panic, you can just say “Apologies, that came out wrong” and correct yourself.

Lost your train of thought and it’s been quiet too long? “Sorry I just needed a moment to reboot”

Said an entire sentence of gibberish because something disconnected? “I’m not sure what that was, but let’s try again”

The act of acknowledging a flaw or mistake and immediately trying to correct it shows that you’re learning and trying to be better but also are human. Most people will get that and support it because shit happens and though sometimes it hurts ourselves or others, the fact you’re trying to improve has its own meaning too.

being unemployed is rad but being unemployed in a world that treats employment as a necessity that completes you as a person while also having zero access to unemployment benefits is maybe not so good

Keep the 🌊🌊🌊🌊going

what they don’t tell you about uncluttering your countertops/tables/general spaces is you’ll think it’s dumb as hell & allow it to all pile up because the idea of organizing and removing shit is daunting but once you do it and step back and See how things look without clutter you will feel as though you just snorted a line.

my belief is that everyone who works in a restaraunt or retail should make a minimum of $25 an hour and should get a half hour break every four hours and if your boss or manager tries to make you work during your break or skips it, they get chased out of town by wild dogs

Wake up babe, new life-hacks just dropped

Prev. Prev don't leave this in tags the people should know

Ya'll - that math is terrible. $7.25 full time isn't $7.25 every hour non-stop. So it's actually 66,666 years to 'earn' - ignoring taxes and reality.

you could follow the genuinely funny poster who is going to be gone in 6 months, or you could follow me, the mediocre-to-okayish poster who's been on tumblr for 11.5 years and will be here until the flames finally reach and destroy the data center with our precious memories
