i really do think there’s a huge disconnect on here w/ people who have never used tiktok as to what it actually is and who actually uses it. the number of people i’ve seen call it a “teen dancing app” is actually insane. it has not been a teen dancing app since i was in high school, around 2016 - 2020. the main communities i saw on a daily basis were 1) black history/anti-racism educators, 2) high school & college teachers sharing in-classroom strategies and frustrations with the education system, 3) local/state political leaders giving real-time updates on behind-the-scenes government decisions, & 4) community activism & leadership. like tiktok is an adult platform. almost every person i interacted with was my age or older. and yes it completely depends on your fyp and how you interact with the app, yes there’s still teenagers and dance videos and literally anything else you can think of. but these communities of adults aren’t insubstantial at all, they have literally millions of interactions on a daily basis. there’s about a million other types of communities that i could name just off the top of my head, because the range of users was SO diverse and thriving. it’s a long-distance community tool, just like any other social media—and honestly much better than any other social media, because it relies primarily on the kindness of strangers. i saw at least 5-10 videos today of queer people in rural areas panicking because they don’t have any access to queer community on any other platform or in real life. and before i end this i do want to say i think tiktok is coming back, i think this is a highly orchestrated political move, etc., but i do know it won’t ever be exactly the same. people are panicking about free speech violations because tiktok was a place where people fucking SPEAK. i have never seen mass mobilization and communication in this same way for as long as i’ve been alive. it is the people’s app, not just a silly teenage thing. if you’re not on tiktok and never have been, please stop talking about it like you know anything at all😭

Ughh I’m just kind of tired seeing the same pattern of carelessness from the devs. But I also dislike seeing fans disregard how some og players are feeling due to this new change. Like I’m happy that new fans will have a chance to get these og cards but it feels so bad to see the cards we once worked so hard for being rehashed for a quick money grab.

We complain & criticize the game because we care for it but also are tired of seeing the devs make decisions that only benefit them and not the players. I’m just tired of seeing people blindly defend a company that is proactively draining what once was a good game into a shell of itself. Idk I’m just kind of over it, I’ll continue to edit stuff for the game but I’d be lying if I said I don’t love the game as much as I used to…

my drafts finally ran out and I’ve been too exhausted to go through like 2k worth of drafts to tag so apologies abt break in posting

urgent question: if you have any tips about recognizing undercover cops and ICE agents please write below. I never thought my very liberal state would come to this but I live in an area with a very high level of immigrants + multiple municipalities are basically de facto sanctuary cities since they have extra protections written into local law

I work at a healthcare facility that sees high numbers of new americans (with varying ‘legal’ statuses). there are reports from individuals within the local spanish speaking whatsapp channels that ICE is stopping people on their way to our healthcare facility. I can’t disclose too much without revealing highly identifying information about who I am and where I work, but higher management is not handling this good enough. everyone in my department (social work) is outraged and will do whatever it takes to protect the people we serve regardless of management. they deny it’s happening because it wasn’t happening when they went outside to look but that doesn’t mean shit- they’re 100% making rounds and patrolling. we are likely going to start taking walks during our limited breaks around the neighborhood to keep lookout. I’d much rather have a patient do telehealth or reschedule, or have them wait in my office an extra 20 minutes instead of possibly getting stopped by undercover agents. with the recent executive orders healthcare facilities aren’t even respected as sensitive locations discouraged from being raided anymore.

so yeah. any tips on spotting any undercover cops/ICE would be swell. funnily enough I have been thinking a lot about that one thing eliot said about undercover law enforcement and shoes. I’ve also been researching that already + rights and what to tell patients + everything else I can think of BUT thought I’d float it out here as well

stay safe, everyone in the US and outside. you are cared for, loved, important. you matter and deserve to be treated with humility and respect. look after each other

I feel like a majority of Polites hate/blame comes from people who don’t want to blame Eurylochus anymore but they just need someone to blame so they pick Polites. Can’t just accept that these characters make mistakes.

“Odysseus was fine till open arms” no he wasn’t. He literally killed a baby in the second song that man was anything but fine. In fact I would actually say that it’s ruthlessness that made his life miserable. People keep choosing to be violent, that’s not Polites’ fault.

Allosexuals— read up on what not to do in terms of how to treat aspec people, allonormativity, and checking your allo privilege.

I’ve been talking with a guy and we’ve really hit it off, and we met up today. Before the date/ meet up, I stopped by work and told my friends about it. They were so excited for me, and I let them know where I’d be and when for safety.

All was well, until my middle aged gay male co worker who had overheard said “remember to practice safe sex tonight”.

And I looked him dead in the eye and said “I’m ace”. Given our work location this was a particularly inappropriate comment to make while on the job too (I plan to announce what I’ve been doing in my travels and adventures this past year once I’m back home and it’s safe to do so, but if you come back to this post after finding out you’re going to be like “holy shit”.).

I thought, as a queer man himself, he’d say “oh sorry”. Instead, he said “So he’s going on a date with you and can’t even get that?”.

I think he thought it was funny. It was not fucking funny. I turn to my friends so uncomfortable and on the verge of tears and they’re like “ohh, don’t listen to him you’re fine”. They know my history and how triggering that was for me. As a 24 year old who hasn’t even been kissed and is incredibly insecure about it it was embarrassing for that assumption to be made about me. It made me so nervous, anxious, and uncomfortable before my date. Even for allo people, not everyone likes or wants to have sex on the first date? Like why is this being assumed of me, a young woman, by a middle aged man. We can be sex positive without being acephobic, people.

Not only is just inappropriate in ANY context for a middle aged man who barely knows me to comment on my sex life and sexuality, but it’s a fantastic example of allonormativity and what makes this world so hard for aspec people to navigate, and how our allonormative sex crazed society treats us.

For him, it was a joke. For me, it was just a perfect example of acephobia and being othered and even lowkey shamed for being who I am. And given my history, it set off a trauma response. Which gets me to, beyond just being creepy, that you don’t know people’s stories so think twice about what you say.

Maybe this seems like an over exaggeration or no big deal to you allo folks, but as an aspec person it felt demeaning and disrespectful.

So please— check your allo privilege and remember us aspec folks are valid too. I jokingly told him to be a good ally as a signal to back off, and hopefully my comments and reaction will make him think twice in the future. He also said I was the first asexual he’d met and I was like… clearly. That is evident. Also, I only mention he’s gay to show how discrimination can come from allosexuals within the queer community. I am in fact, biromantic.

Once again broke in this game cuz I’m trying to level up my cards to beat the INSANE requirements for lesson 15.

(Rant under the cut)

Like, why tf is it so hard to progress in NB? Makes no sense. I’d be breezing through lessons in the OG game by this point and probably already on lesson 20-30 rn.

Either the devs make it more enjoyable by making it more playable and less of a grinding game, or they lose an undoubtedly large number of NB players bc they chose to make it so difficult to progress in the slightest bit.

Why is it so hard to get lore?!😭 that’s all we’re asking for—

Wait. Is that why this game is so hard? The LORE?! Are they seriously making the levels almost impossible to beat because they’re givin’ us lore? I’m genuinely so lost at this point.

Please tell me I’m not the only one experiencing this issue. Or at least someone else has to notice this, too?
