I mean it could be worse. It could be called Gimp or something

No no, i promise that this social norm that's been around since the 1950's is totally an innate aspect of human nature.

Really the kicker about discussing colonialism intrinsic to certain fictional tropes/archetypes/genres/what-have-you is that white bitches et al get SO mad about it. "Ohh so I'm not allowed to play farming sims? Wearing a silly hat makes me a fascist now?" I was just exercising critical thought but yknow what? Just for you? Yeah it does

& it really speaks for... a certain way of thinking about how racism works, the way they'll jump to this dichotomy of Allowed vs Not Allowed. Cause that's not really how it works. If we actually wanted to simply #cancel everything with any sort of Historical Context or Unsavory Implications it'd never fucking end, due to the world that we live in. Good thing we're just telling you to think even a little bit about the ideas you engage with & this suggestion makes people Really Mad

It's that whole thing of, like, being more afraid of being labelled A Racist than really caring about minimizing harm. "Oohh this thing I like can't be racist because I'm Not Racist" no ❤

god i wish there was a section in mychart to put "we do not have to spend twenty minutes re-litigating the evidence in her fitness tracker before ordering more bloodwork because her existing bloodwork is too good for an ass that fat"

what if i enabled comments on my site but only for members paying at least $5 a month or $40 a year

oh goddammit if i want to be able to import all the existing members from a csv i have to fucking. pay for the $300 annual plan for this plugin. otherwise i have to enter 386 members manually, and that doesn't include inactive accounts. :|

apparently after year one it would cost $600 a year so. time to roll up my sleeves and get to manual data entering, lmao

what the FUCK was i doing when i edited this theme

should i switch my website to light text on a dark background (it was previously black text on white in the actual text portion)

WHY IS THE ABILITY TO PRORATE MEMBERSHIP CHANGES PAYWALLED

hotels deciding what bedding they'll use: yes okay so we have the top sheet and we have a blanket but I feel like we're missing something

intern: you should add a single blanket that has a fucked up texture that no person has ever wanted in contact with their entire body

hotels: god that's perfect. ill order one for every room in existence

that 1 post that was like "if ur budgeting for weed like other expenses thats a sign youre an addict and need to stop" was so silly. like Youre only allowed to enjoy things recreationally if you dont monitor your use of them

If you're budgeting for groceries YOU ARE A FOOD ADDICT

From the article:

From the Wikipedia:

Greenwashing. Greenwashing all way down. While the planet is FUCKING BURNING.

You guys still love "industrial policy"?

instead of investor money being wasted on stupid fads it's your tax money

anyway some of this is corporate welfare for ammonia production which isn't so bad but the briefing also mentions some of the dumb uses. Idk look up Tooze's articles about hydrogen, almost all the uses are dumb

okay well I guess domestic ammonia production is fine BUT STILL it’s fucked up to sell it like they’re selling it. obviously. but it’s just so irritating

the summer is like well what if it was unbearable outside and you can't wear any cool jackets. and everyone's going to tell you that this is the best time of the year. and you're the crazy one

Hello welcome my ADHD themed gameshow, "So you were holding it literally moments ago but now it's gone" the where YOU look for whatever you were just holding while going increasingly mad

Reblog if you didn't notice the missing words

tiktokers who say classic lit is bad because its not relatable 1. thats not the fucking point 2. you've clearly never read twelfth night as a trans bisexual

you've clearly never read Frankenstein as a student

If you're fucked up enough a lot of classic lit suddenly becomes uncomfortably relatable tbh.

This is 100% true, but also: literature is a great way to engage with people you don't actually relate to, and practice feeling empathy for them anyway. I have never been in a battle, but I have cried over the Iliad multiple times because I was suddenly made very aware that every single war has people like Hector in it, who leave their families one day and just never come home to them. Please keep looking for things you find relatable in unexpected places - but not everything has to be relatable for it to be worthwhile.

Not everything has to be about you to be worth reading

Cancel culture strikes again

going from the reddit star wars fandom to the tumblr star wars fandom is giving me insane whiplash. the upside is that people aren’t bitching about every single imperfect detail in the entire franchise, but the downside is that i’ve seen more fanart of obi wan and commander cody tenderly knowing each other than i have ever wanted to in my life in the last three hours and it has probably fundamentally altered the way i interact with the entire franchise
