The Amazing Spider-Xan!

I mentioned this elsewhere, but if you see a post of mine that I have locked and are interested in reblogging it, just let me know and I will more likely than not allow it and unlock it, though I get the final say bc I may have specific reasons for not wanting a post to spread around!

Most of the time, I lock posts bc they're not polished and it will drive me insane if I find a typo or poorly constructed sentence later and it's too late to fix it bc the post is already out there, but if you ask, I can check it over and make any edits before it goes out lol

ADDED: Editing to add tags for certain topics now that I'm trying to tag shit lol, but I will polish this later lol

The absolute embarrassment that executive dysfunction stopped me from doing the very last thing I needed to do (proofreading for typos) for the local BDS post I had already finished writing at the start of the month for two weeks, and once they checked in on me, I got what I needed to get done in literally less than two minutes.

Also, like, this is a great example of white privilege bc the reason why you, white person, are not seeing the racism is bc as a white person, you are not going to be sent racist hate mail or DMs like POC are, and also, you just revealed you don't have any non-white friends (or they don't trust you for good reason) or follow POC bc if you did, you would see them talking about this from firsthand experience.

If you are white, it is very easy and actually a lot less effort to just reblog a post a POC wrote about racism without adding your personal commentary about how you are a Good White person and not so subtly accusing the POC of being a liar or a secret racist who is friends with white supremacists.

Can white people shut the fuck up whenever POC talk about racism instead of writing tag essays like, 'omg where are you seeing this?? I never see anything racist, so I am going to imply you ethnics must be lying or you are friends with racists!! the only way POC can witness and experience racism is bc they follow racists!! not me, I am good a white person, so I never see racism bc I don't follow racists, unlike these silly brown people who don't understand blocking and unfollowing!! white liberals like me would never be racist, only tr*mpers, so you racist POC are secretly fascists, hmm?? not like me, I am so angelic and good that I can't even conceive of anyone being racist!! a hecking good white ally!!'

The only time H*milton discourse was bearable was when it was new and the only people who posted about it on my dash were my Black mutuals and other Black people I followed, most of whom are long gone now and I don't blame them, but yeah, demonic bipartisan musical of liberalism and US exceptionalism with a mostly boogie white fanbase this point.

That stupid post about protesting the inauguration by hosting Rocky Horror parties on the same day just unlocked memories of the equally stupid post back during Tr*mp's first term about how the Dems should fight him by singing H*milton songs at him in Congress - like, the fandom as praxis stupidity aside, US conservatives LOVE H*milton, why do white libs still think it's a progressive thing when it literally glorifies the founding fathers?

I like ugly cute things sometimes, but I really don't understand why those La/bubu plushie keychains have people behaving like they inhaled mind control spores driving them into a shopping and gambling mass frenzy - that was not a particularly popular PopMart IP before this, and plushie keychains for other IP do not provoke this kind of behaviour, so idk it feels like manufactured scarcity and hype and people jumping on the bandwagon and getting caught up in FOMO and there is definitely a bubble burst coming up like there always is.

The Canadian government thinking the Chinese diaspora here is full of communist spies for Beijing is so fucking funny and out of touch bc the average Chinese-Canadian is a diehard capitalist - these people are NOT going to do anything for communism, they think communism is evil bc communism in Canada (lol) is why they don't own a mansion in their twenties and have to pay a $2 carbon tax on their $200 meal at the Michelin star restaurant.

Grown adults making six figures at their investment banking jobs crying and throwing temper tantrums like it's end the of the world in the Discord bc they pulled a yellow plushie keychain instead of a pink one and wondering if it's worth blowing $100 to buy one from a reseller on top of their $200 toy haul earlier in the week and the $300 Jellycat haul and the 854844 Happy Meal toys and also getting angry at postal workers going on strike bc how are they going to get the five cases of new toys they ordered now, like, why am I here, I think these people need their assets collectivized.

Opens the local toy collecting Discord to see all the rich people in there exploding into a panicked frenzy to fight over a drop of those ugly La/bubu plushie keychain blind boxes that people are buying and selling for $100 or whatever and becoming more communist and supportive of the CCP regulating this shit bc these companies are financially ruining people by manipulating them into gambling addictions.

Another person approached the woman and talked to her after I have her the supplies, so hopefully they helped her out too and I feel like people are often more compelled to help if they see other people do it first.

Did my good deed for today in buying some food and something to drink for the woman outside the store where the post office is bc I didn't have change, so I asked if there was anything I could get for her, and I noticed that for whatever reason, large cans of tuna do not have pull tabs and require a can opener (I ended up buying the little cans that do, but you get less tuna for the same amount of money), but salmon and every other kind of canned meat does, and I don't get why tuna is the exception, like, is it bc tuna is more expensive?

I had to walk to the post office to pick up something just now, and bc it's raining, I had to take a short cut through, for lack of a better description to avoid too much location detail, a very long building, but it wasn't until then that I realized I had gone out without a mask (I never stopped masking and never will at this point) and by then, I was too far from home to run all the way back to get one and still get to the post office in time, and I was so distracted by this realization that I walked almost half the length of the very long building without realizing I still had my umbrella open, despite being indoors lol
