#but after all this is an online spaces

[shinayashipper]

when I wonder how's my internet friends doing these days- haven't heard of them in a while- and then seeing the posts I reblogged from them and theres the "Deactivated" in their names... oh

I moved recently to start a new job and part of my commute now involves one of those high capacity toll booths where a two lane road suddenly flares out into 5-7 lanes of total anarchy with no lines anywhere, and then narrows back down to two lanes again, and we're just supposed to sort ourselves out? Who designed this

anyway I dreamed up this helpful anatomical guide on the drive home

Go for a drive with me until we end up sitting in a parking lot and talking for hours

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

this is so crazy like dont yall have grandmothers you have to talk to or hell just other human beings that exist in your real life….if u were this nitpicky irl you would end up interacting with maybe 1 person.. but maybe that’s what u do

i just read the ASD report that the guy did and he literally misinterpreted 80% of what i said to him? some of the stuff in there (like medical history and background stuff) is fully FACTUALLY INCORRECT

anyway, i'm systematically going through the report pointing out what's inaccurate, which imho is a pretty autistic response, although i may also be a psychopath bc i have a compulsion to make this poor dude bend to my will

something that's been weighing on my mind ever since learning about the situation with ezra / toonimal is seeing how these predators will take the active hostility that is frequently directed towards minors in online spaces to their advantage and use it to prey on vulnerable children. i think that we as adults in online fandom should probably come together and maybe rethink the language / manner we go about interacting with kids bc clearly the way things are rn is causing active harm.

like obviously, if you're an adult and aren't comfortable with minors interacting with you or your content, you should be allowed to set that boundary and should be vocal about it, ( especially if the content you create isn't safe for them to consume. ) but i don't think talking to them like they're a blight on all that is good and holy is the way to go about it. maybe just saying you're an 18 plus account will suffice, you don't have to tell them to fuck off.

Personal notes from before the szpd epiphany nr. 1: on maintaining online correspondences. More info in tags

sometimes I want to be alone. Arguably way too often. A break from online interaction too, that at its core is people interaction too.

Connection, in whatever kind of form, is far better than total isolation. The benefits outweigh the bad, though that too isn't pleasant to endure. I keep thinking about returning to my original state of isolation.

Going off for a break is fine. But what if you don't come back? they could be on my mind for the entire duration, yet I don't reply to them or share whatever it is that I've been up to. It's probably the maintenance which is the hardest part.

tumblr "lesbian elder" butches that are never older than 25: baggy loose clothes arent masc. flowers arent masc. open toed shoes arent masc. bright colors arent masc unless theyre boy colors i mean masc colors. any fashion style that isnt mine isnt masc unless its in a black n white photo of a lesbian and if it is then you arent matching the look right so its still not masc.

butches in real life: hey hows it goin

Insane how everything can stack up on you on a single day and make you not want to wake up the next.

The cartoon Network official site has shut down (the one with clips of their shows and little games for kids)

Great. Lovely. Another website dedicated for children, now wiped off the internet.
