#also im guilty of this too

I really need people to employ more healthy skepticism.

Sure, tumblr isn't Twitter or Facebook or whatever other social media people are on these days, but misinformation is still rampant here. As well as scams.

I see so many Gaza fundraiser posts that claim to be vetted. Well. Vetted by who? Did you check? Do you know and trust the person who did the vetting? Did the person you reblogged the post from? Or are we all just helping scammers funnel money away from people who actually need donations.

This is still the internet.

People lie.

Remember the Wayfair conspiracy? It got shared here too.

People are so quick to hit reblog to "do their part" and I'm begging you all to slow down a bit and critically engage with what sort of information you are spreading.

That science or health post you're reblogging - does it come with sources, or is it just repeating what 5000 different clickbait articles already copied from each other?

Especially when it comes to science, politics, and social justice, doing your part means to be critical of what information you are sharing. Doing your part isn't blindly reblogging 20 fundraiser posts a day, it's paying attention, it's actually examining what you are doing and what the people around you are doing, and it's trying to find factual information.

If you never learned fact checking in school, maybe check if your local library offers classes on how to find reliable sources and information. My campus library did that for a while.

Just please. When it's not about blorbos or other inconsequential stuff, stop and research before you reblog.

*grips your shoulders* an eight year old is not gonna act like that. put the pen down. close the laptop. stop writing for a minute. volunteer at a daycare center for a week or smth. an eight year old is typically (unless they're purposely doing it, but at that point you'll be able to tell) not going to speak in one word sentences. that is a child with a possible developmental delay and should probably get an assessment done. that is a two year old with an MLU score of 2.0 who is struggling with their present possessive verbs. look up the average heights of an eight year old because i promise they're bigger than that.

if your six year old is still doing reduplicated babbling and it's not clearly an on purpose active play decision, then they should probably (re: REALLY) undergo evaluation because one of the first signs of a developmental delay is delayed speech. children begin speaking in two word utterances as young as 18 months old. three year olds on average can hold simple conversations with adults. four year olds absoLUTELy can.

i know it's super fun to write children as being dependent and clingy to their parent for your super fluffy found family child fic but that is not a six year old that is a worryingly large two year old with a mild speech delay. you don't have to be 1:1 accurate, god knows i'm not but please at least know that children on average are capable of holding simple conversations by the time they're 4, and are usually doing the baby talk stuff to be cute or as a play thing. which isn't a bad thing but if they're talking like that unironically and ALL the time, then there is likely a problem in their development.

It makes me sooo sad when people make a cute/happy/familial/ship/fandomy creepypasta post and they feel the need to be like “but I get it’s totally unrealistic like it could never be canon like I know they’re actually heartless and would kill eachother but I just like when they’re happy ik it’s cringe stupid fanon though” YOU DESERVE TO MAKE A HAPPY OR SILLY OR CUTE POST WITHOUT REPRIMANDING YOURSELF FOR ENJOYING THE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS YOUVE PROBABLY LOVED SINCE CHILDHOOD!!!! YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO DEFEND YOUR INTEREST IN LIGHTHEARTED FLUFFY CONTENT!!! IT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO CONSUME POSITIVE CONTENT!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CONSUME HARDCORE EDGY CRUEL GRUESOME CONTENT IF ITS NOT YOUR PREFERENCE!!!! Please. We all want you to be happy. Whether you enjoy fandom-style content or dark serious horror.

sometimes i read descriptions of Tommy's house in fics (i fully know we shouldn't expect anything to make sense in 911 land) and I'm blown away because i need y'all to realize this house:

is currently for sale in LA for nearly half a million dollars, so that's probably why Tommy took one look at Buck's loft and was immediately rethinking his life choices.

Dorian getting HDYWDT(prob phase one) on a chromatic orb, and describing that the last time he used it was when Orym was being eaten by a wall in beginning of the campaign, he continues proving he’s the Romantic Bard of All Time,

HOWEVER!

I remembered something cuz he’s for those reasons my hyperfixation through the campaign, and checked and… technically speaking with Bells Hells it was the last time he used the spell… but, with Crown Keepers in c3e93 was the last time he cast it… in thunder damage… and accidentally hit Cyrus too when he cast on the spider to save him… *scream sobs*
