sandy jareau: one daughter who never saw 17 and the other…

jj: the other what, mom? the other what?

this scene haunts me because maybe if rosaline didn’t die, maybe if jj hadn’t become her parents’ only hope, maybe if she suddenly didn’t have the responsability to be the good daughter, she would have let herself have the feelings she had towards women. she wouldn’t have had to lock herself in a conventional home life to show that her family could still be normal. she was forced to grow up so quickly and to take on a role, to conform to a conventional ideal before she was able to explore who she really was.

and jj’s story is filled with bits and pieces of her experience with comphet since practically the beginning of the show, and partly i’m thankful for that bc that type of experience is relevant and important to portray, but mostly i’m mad because they never came clean about what it was about, always pretending these lines of dialogue were about something else. yes they’re the showrunners and the writers, yes they decide what they write about, but look me in the eyes and tell me her conversation with hotch in 3x17 about how the unsub seeked a freedom in his gay victims he wished he had was about anything other than her own gayness (come on, it being about her secret relationship with a white cop? where’s the threat in it being exposed? be for real). tell me the question from will that should have followed “you wanna see another guy?” shouldn’t have been “you wanna see a woman?”.

jj is not straight, and it’s part of the show, it’s right there. but it should have been asserted, because her story is important and is the reality of many people.

Why is it that I can read the absolute filthiest, explicit monster fucker writing on this site, but as soon as I post a BLURRED TITTY with the *implication* of dicks- nah. Nah that gets nuked. Ain’t no one allowed to see that. Only allowed to use your imagination in here.

ebay fucking sucks

sent in a question about why they suspended my account, which i haven’t even used in at least a year, for ‘being harmful to the community,’ and this is all they sent back. not to be some jaded old person but do they really care that little that they don’t even check the response to questions?

they sent this exact message three times. once for each time i sent in a question. i’m frustrated.

i’m always happier when i don’t actually have to work with sexist asshole men, but the huge behavior change they have when i pass them to my male coworkers makes me sick and frustrated every time

I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

I have a severe case of wanting to do everything and ending up doing nothing

“long hair on guys doesn’t make them less masculine. think keanu reeves, jason momoa, danny trejo, or the guy at your local dive bar who rides a motorcycle”

*the crowd nods*

“so long hair doesn’t necessarily determine masculinity”

*the crowd, more hesitant, still nodding*

“butches can have long hair—“

*GUNSHOT*

it's so fucking frustrating to be in college and know everyone uses chatgpt and to be tempted by it constantly while also knowing intellectually that it doesn't work and it's a bad idea. like, i hang out in the library a lot, and i see people using chatgpt on assignments almost every day. and i know it isn't a good way to learn, because it's not really "artificial intelligence" so much as it is an auto text generator. and it gives you wrong information or badly worded sentences all the time. but every week i stare down assignments i don't want to do and i think man. if only i could type this prompt into a text generator and have it done in 10 minutes flat. and i know it wouldn't work. it wouldn't synthesize information from the text the way professors want, it wouldn't know how to answer questions, it just spits out vaguely related words for a couple paragraphs. but knowing my classmates get their work done in 10 minutes flat with it while i fight every ounce of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in my body is infuriating.

au where everything is the same except mabel and dipper have been going to gravity falls every year before the show takes place since like kindergarten.

its a pretty simple premise that derives mostly from my desire to explore interpersonal relationships and the ways a place and people can change from a young child’s point of view. it doesn’t change canon that much either, admittedly, i just wanted to draw childhood friends stuff LOL. ill call it uhhhhhhhh every summer au.

if you donate one single us dollar to the unrwa, you will have donated more money than you would have by clicking that stupid arab.orb link every day for four and a half years. yes, they do actually donate money to the unrwa, but even with tens of thousands of clicks, most of that money is the baseline $90 they send every quarter. from 2023 quarter 4, half a million clicks turned into $380.57. maths out to six hundreths of one cent per click. just donate to unrwa.

i really can't emphasize how heartbreaking it is that the recent harassment campaign against @/90-ghost (among others; see: 1, 2, 3) has led to well-meaning people telling others not to listen to him. he is one of the most visible survivors of the genocide here on tumblr. his entire journey of escape is so well documented! and yet, it only took a few people confidently pointing fingers to create an entire witch hunt accusing him and other palestinians of being disreputable scammers and liars.

i can't help but feel like the reason why people were SO eager to believe those accusations, is because it was uncomfortable to see posts from palestinians every day asking for our time, attention, money, and support; so when someone presented the perfect excuse to ignore all those posts and asks while also taking the high ground, people just LEAPED onto it. they wanted to believe it, because it would be more comfortable.

honestly, i understand feeling overwhelmed by bad news, by the number of asks and messages in your inbox, and so on and so forth. i understand needing to set boundaries for yourself so you don't get burned out. i think this is really when you have to have a set of principles to fall back on, even when you're tired, uncomfortable, angry, and/or sad. so here's the one i suggest, which has been working for me best: don't make your discomfort with this situation into someone else's problem, and for god's sake don't make it a public problem.

if you hate seeing fundraiser posts or news about gaza, i can't emphasize this enough, JUST MOVE ON. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND SCROLL PAST! all you have to do is absolutely nothing. which is what you were doing anyway, so it shouldn't be hard. if you don't have the heart to read, or reblog, or share, or donate, or support in other ways, at the very least, don't obstruct the efforts of people who ARE trying to make a difference. this is, quite literally, the least you can do.
