#if I don't even account for people reading w/o interacting AT ALL

[thepixelelf]

Obviously I acknowledge and am grateful for the amount of interaction I have — I so often see the mistreatment my own mutuals get from the onslaught of silent readers these days, and it’s so frustrating just to watch — but it’s still so discouraging to know that possibly thousands of people have read oby, yet even on the individual part with the most notes (over double the amount of most chapters) with the biggest reveal and emotional moment, only ~35 people (ily) decided to comment. Half of those being replies, and the other half reblogs… I don’t even have much to say. It just sucks

[ririsasy]

I knew you were taking your sweet time with my ask to cook up something amazing and I was right. Really enjoyed & appreciate the long post. 6 hours?!? THANK YOU, Riri. I haven't watched RRR so it was quite surprising to see that veiled scene pic, looked very intimate. I'm aware of the mainstream SM talks of RRR's bromance but surprised there's barely any for Varadeva. This is the 2nd south indian movie that I've liked, the first one was Aarya 2, great film and songs, coincidentally it also has a possessive, psychotic character who'll do anything for his male friend but that's where the similarity ends with Salaar. The difference is in the essence of their friendships. One seems "toxic" but platonic while Varadeva seems like love and has chemistry. I fully relate to all your posts on Varadeva because I had those exact thoughts while watching the movie. Cannot choose one from the pile of greatness (love the parallels). Hope you write more such posts and yes I really enjoyed your mob boss Deva and his Varadha. I'd love it if you make one post about the tattoo on Aadya's arm and what can it mean and can or will cause in the (varadeva) future. All tattoo saga.

Apology for such a long ask.

Part of the reason why Salaar wasn't talked more than RRR bromance I think because they have so little promotion tour, that's the first reason while RRR they have so many press tour to the point I couldn't even catch up with all of the amazing interviews Tarak and Charan give to promote RRR. And they definitely promoting this movie as bromance, without any hints of hesitation.

While Salaar there are only 2 like T W O interviews where Prabhas and Prithvi was in the same room 😂 while the movie is indeed about these two character and even the song all just about these two ..I don't know why they didn't highlight it in all the release short clip, they advertised this movie like the most violence men or whatever while in reality this movie is all about drama between the rulers in khansaar (and Varadeva romance).

They advertised the left poster too heavily while in reality they should have just used the poster on the right everywhere and we all be flocking to the theater lmao

People who just listened to their (unreliable) promo stuff without pondering toward the meaning of this movie they quickly just agree, yes this movie is about violence..and move on. Lmao this is like the case of shot fired wrong advertising strategy. (But aren't we all here even though like only 100 of us maximum trying to make up to it by talking about Varadeva bromace day and night like our lives depend on it.) I really want to talk with their advertising team for Salaar. It's just not as engaging as with Rajamouli.

Perhaps it wasn't their fault. Perhaps because Prithvi and Prabhas are hella busy with their other projects so they couldn't really take their times the way Tarak and Charan could who literally promote RRR movie for a whole year. RRR success I think beside the movie is really good and entertaining (I made a full review about RRR here but it contain spoiler so only read it after you watch RRR or if you're okay with getting spoiler. I post a lot of RRR meta as well you can just click RRR tag in my account and scroll scroll lol), the advertising was top notch as well, they didn't hold back. I mean Salaar getting the 750 crores return with that level of advertising 😭 it was almost a pure luck because if they didn't double the money they spend in production for ceasefire we might not even got Salaar 2 news 😭 thankfully now we can just wait for the continuation of varadeva story.

Second reason beside the advertising I think the content of the movie is also a big part of the consideration, RRR is just more colorful so people could engage with it in lighthearted nature about their bromance because there were also the element of humor when they interact with each other, while Varadeva, they exist in bleak world, no color, black and white, only people like us (what is us actually lmao) who spends more time to really really sit down and rewatch this movie could really pick out the true essence of this movie from within khansaar violence world and pulled out Varadeva love story.

Arya 2? I haven't watched it but it's on my list because I love Sukumar with Allu arjun, they made one of my favorite telugu movie together which is Pushpa, and Pushpa 2 will be released soon, the 2 songs they already dropped for the movie sequel were really great (especially Pushpa Raj whoaa) So someday I will definitely check Arya 2 when I have the time (now I am drowning in Prithviraj 134 credits to his movies lmao he has so many I am literally trying not to be too overwhelmed and take it slowly)

Mob boss Deva and bbg Varadha is literally my favorite so far from what I have written for them lmao the AU was so much fun, they will make a comeback someday lol

And for Aadhya and the tattoo actually, I really really want to talk about this in some kind of continuation story from the canon event in the movie in fic format and not just writing meta, let's see what I can do, but as you can see I am quite slow in many things haha but this time I feel like I shouldn't delay a reply to you only to wait for me writing a fic about the tattoo 😂 while making gifs might take me 6 hours (seriously that might be my longest post in this fandom that I made lmao (thank you to everyone who have like and reblog too 💯💕💐)) and to others I am sorry in advance if that post bothered you with how long you have to scroll when you see it on your dash lmao I keep adding the gifs when i re read about the analysis to support the explanation I think it's more than 25 now 😂 in that single post). writing fics it's at least 6 days business for me or even 6 weeks then would turn into 6 months, it happened so many times 😂 (so no promise for fic but it might be written)

Tell me about what you feel if you managed to watch RRR 👏👏 it's as gay as Salaar no doubt lmao RRR is the door that introduces me to the wonder that's south indian cinema.

[petrichoraline]

For the honest answer ask game: what's the history of your blog? (this really just includes how/when you began blogging on tumblr, content, your interactions and your special moments on here etc; whatever you wish to prioritize for the ask in context).

honest hour question answered 3 days later <3 truly hope the wait was worth it love hahah

as someone who's gone through my archive already, you know i started out as a bts fan account in 2015. (my previous blog is not gonna be discussed for the simple reason that it's barely relevant to this one)

i believe i used to tag and organise my reblogs? there was a time where i cared enough and i loved srolling through my own blog, i stopped enjoying that when i became more involved w/ fandom on here and things weren't aesthetics based anymore. i don't like going through it that much now. i used to play around with themes, search for them, tweak colours and fonts for hours. after i returned years later there was an issue with the editor so now i can't change my theme at all and it sucks cause i just want to edit a few things.

so it started of as a bts fanblog, then i started rb-ing other kpop stuff, maybe afterwards i started sharing gifsets from movies and series i liked? as for fandom, i had a good amount of mutuals - accidentally became one with a girl from my country, we went out once and it was very nice <3 procrastinated and lost track fo tag games back then too lmaoo i felt a lot of dissatisfaction over it so i try to do everything now with my current fandom :)

back then is when i started reading fanfiction - i believe my first imagine was a taegi one where v was an artist and yoongi a photographer lol i stumbled upon it on the dash randomly and i got introduced to ao3 a bit after

iirc for the following years after i'd stopped stanning bts, i used to come back either relatively often or once in a blue moon - in the beginning i was just enjoying wtv my dash was offering me or seeking out specific stuff, then i started using it as a tracklist of what shows i've watched haha, no tags, just rb after finishing a show.

i started engaging with fandom around the release of episode 5 of kinnporsche, i read a bunch of posts on here, then tms2 came around and i got even more into reading people's takes..at some point i started talking to people i guess hahah i don't even know when i started trying to put out content, so to say, i just know i was doing screenshot posts short before i found myself pushed to attempt gifs and that was after big dragon had just finished airing.

then i started my giffing journey. had support from @gillianthecat whom i loved giffing paulnice for. honestly that and the discussions we had were such an important part of me having fun with this site and keeping it up. and @joyladagang, my self-proclaimed #1 hype woman, made me feel super welcome. then i got even more moots, at some point i started reaching out or actively reciprocating others attempts at getting closer (though i had been active in discussions before that, i just mean i got a bit braver and started acting more familiar with everyone (esp w/ ppl i got closer to through @joyladagang like @cankersoregirl, @feralmuskyscentedhoepran, @loserlesbianongsa etc.)

i'm grateful to a lot of people on here, truly. it's not supposed to be a shoutout post so i won't be tagging any more people (esp since i would have to tag everyone who follows me plus a bunch of people i follow which..it's a bit much) but i'm genuinely thankful for each person that enjoys my rants, gifs, theories or wtv the things i post classify as, whether they found a post by accident or follow the blog. and i'm grateful to the creators i follow, and i'm happy to talk to so many sweet, smart and funny individuals on various topics daily.

so this is where my blog is at right now - trying to do a bit of everything and talking a bit with everyone. my issue, tbh, is i'm trying a bit too hard to satisfy everyone which sounds ridiculous but i am a bit of a people pleaser at times so it checks out lol

[moe-broey]

AAAUGH OOUGHHH.... (also some spoiler-ish things???? Nothing major, just referencing/discussion of supports)

Céline and Sharena friendship. Actually. ESPPPP after seeing her supports w Hortensia, like. I was actually wondering if she even would get along w Sharena, if they'd have any common ground personality-wise, beyond family and social status, but. I understand now. That literally wouldn't even matter to Céline. She just loves cute girls. She would find Sharena to be SO delightful. And the thing about Céline, is that, yes, she's very much a high society girlie, she's very much a princess and everything that comes with that, but. She's not really stuck up about it? She knows her worth, for sure, she knows she's desirable, absolutely. But like. She doesn't think she's better than anyone else. She doesn't have an ego. She's like. Grounded. And also, the littlest things entertain and delight her sometimes! Probably because she likely was a bit sheltered and secluded growing up, and likely also doesn't have a lot of the "average" life experiences one would have if like. They grew up in a village or something (actually, this is shown in her supports w Lapis, a bit! And what stuck out to me was just how excited Céline was to learn about Lapis and her resourcefulness -- both as a way to learn more about Lapis as a person, and a genuine curiosity and interest in what Lapis was teaching her!)

ALSO. BEYOND JUST THE FUN OF IT. I think Céline would really appreciate Sharena for who she is. Maybe there would be some bumps here and there, as Céline is assessing her -- I think, either Céline is the perceptive type (can tell if Something is off, if someone's words don't seem to match their emotions), or, that's actually a weak area for her. I know. Two complete opposite reads LMFAOOO BUT. I just don't know yet? But I am thinking about, how she is very emotionally intelligent. And I'm also thinking about, esp if it's someone she's just starting to get to know, she needs to study them. She needs information. Especially to determine how she feels about that person, measuring them up, seeing if they're someone she can be comfortable with. Sometimes, she's able to determine this quickly -- pretty much all the girls, she's quick to trust, and Alcryst, she's quick to trust as well -- I think, because she understands him almost immediately. Like, his M/O. His whole deal. He's fine, he's just haunted by endless horrors and ailments 👍 Passed the vibe check 👍 Also Jean passes the vibe check on account of being just a baby boy LMFAOO

But I think, how this relates back, is that. Maybe Céline would notice some Off things about Sharena, but not in a way that makes her seem untrustworthy or even insincere. It's a bit of a conundrum for Céline, actually. Trying to pinpoint it. But she likes Sharena, so she keeps talking to her, and makes it a goal to figure out what's going on. Eventually she does, realizing Sharena just has a rough mirroring, people pleasing and Getting a Good Grade In (insert any interpersonal interaction here) streak LMFAOOO

ALSO..... THINKING...... funny interactions between Alfonse and Alfred. Literally lowkey what happens in a few of Alfred's supports (I think it's a reoccurring thing?) where someone is up Way Too Late and Alfred. Is starting his day.

I think, on a more serious note, it would take some time for them to actually connect. Esppp bc of the opposite personalities. But Alfred is absolutely the perceptive type. He knows a lot more than he tends to let on. In a way, he has his own walls up, too. I think he'd be able to see through Alfonse very quickly, and given how Alfonse Is, just give him a little time to share way too much, be nice to him, and bam. Unintentional besties now. Alfonse head in his hands curled into himself dying in a chair "How does this keep happening" (<- GENUINELY does NOT understand How This Keeps Happening LMFAOOO)

ALSO. I SWEAR TO GOD I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP??? BUT. I THINK. IT IS CANON that Alfonse has some body image issues as well??? It's EXTREMELY obscure, I feel like it's only referenced in Kozaki's Bruno comics where it's shown that Alfonse is envious of Bruno's body type? Like. I swear to god I feel it SO strongly I'm not making this up but also I. Don't have any evidence to back this up. And also maybe I did make this up. I could be completely wrong. I could have just invented this as a core memory.

BUT. As obscure as it is, that could be an interesting thing to explore. ESPPP given. How. Alfred's whole deal is, a desire for strength and to have that strength SHOW, on a physical level, to prove he's all better now and that he can live a long life. And, how. Alfonse himself doesn't seem to be able to put on muscle beyond like, being nicely toned, but Lif. Is fairly muscular. And that. Presents an interesting... scenario.

Espppp thinking about like. When Sharena was telling him about the endless possibilities for all kinds of different Alfreds in all kinds of different worlds, maybe there IS one who's buff as hell. Have you considered selling your soul to The Devil from The Bible and getting yassified in the process? It would solve! At least two problems!! 😬👍

(ALSO. FOR THE RECORD I still haven't finished Engage and I'm still filling out supports, and trying to avoid spoilers 😅 So if anything is missing, or some things seem off or inaccurate, that's why!)

[bluerapunzel103]

RP Rules

If you are interested in RPing with any of my RP sideblogs, i have sent you here to read my rules, which are consistent across my pages. Please read them all the way through. There are instructions somewhere in the list to verify that you have read everything. Thank you very much for your patience!

Important Notes About the Mun

This is my main blog. I ask and follow from bluerapunzel103. I will specify blogs and muses that i would be interested in interacting from.

I am 25+ years old. I do not have a DNI for age interactions--i trust that if you're reading this, you're over thirteen (13) years of age, the minimum age to have an account. That said, i try to pay attention to DNI disclaimers to avoid interacting with younger people who are uncomfortable with contact with older adults online. If you are a younger person with this boundary and i overstep in any other case, don't feel ashamed to block me. Your safety in the RPC matters most!

I am VERY LOW ACTIVITY. I am autistic and more than likely ADHD, so i run on finite spoons. As such, i am PRIVATE and SELECTIVE, and i prioritize partners that i have written with prior to 2020, before my hiatus. That said, i will try to be open to new rp partners if i feel i am able to open up. If you are concerned that i've abandoned a thread you'd like to continue, please message me. I have either forgotten about, run out of spoons, or lost muse for the thread. Thank you for your patience in advance.

I have a few triggers regarding violence in threads; anything involving eyes or teeth. Please avoid anything having to do with eye or tooth trauma in threads with me, and please tag it in other threads so i can blacklist it. Otherwise, I am comfortable writing fight scenes or any other plots with violence.

General RP Rules

I expect that you follow general RP etiquette. I'm sure you know what i'm talking about, no godmodding, don't re/bl.g OOC posts or IC posts from threads unless they're open or you're involved, be kind, re/bl.g anything else from OP if possible, be kind.

If you are NOT an RP blog or a hub, please do not interact. You can read my blog, but do not follow, like, send asks, or re/bl.og any of my posts.

Ask memes and open starters are open permanently.

I am canon-divergence, AU, crossover, and OC-friendly (i write OCs myself)! I will want to plot with you in these cases, so we can mingle our characters and worlds well, but rest assured, i am open to anything!

I am open to shipping and to multiship! I would prefer if we establish a ship via plotting or burn a thread or two to get a feel for our muses' chemistry, but I am open to most ship dynamics, including unhealthy/problematic dynamics. This does NOT mean i condone toxic or abusive behavior, and i will try to handle these dynamics with tact. Lastly, i AM NOT comfortable with N/S/F/W, not even with long-term partners i have written with in the past.

Please like this post if you have read this far. Thank you! Keep reading if you're interested in RPing with any particular blogs.

Blog Specific Rules

babybluemuses and kusakabekids: I am going to try to avoid more mature themes on these blog considering the theme of the blogs and muses is childhood. I am willing to go a bit dark, but not TERRIBLY dark, if you get me? No graphic violence, i'll keep swearing to a minimum, any discussions of triggering themes are handled extra sensitively.

believeandjump: TAG O/NE P/ECE AND B/EACH SPOILERS. I have only finished N/aruto and am lightly following T/wo Blue V/ortex. I am on episode 106 of O.P and episode 14 of B/each.

Cultural sensitivity note for believeandjump, kusakabekids, and meikei: I am NOT Japanese, nor have i experienced Japanese culture. As such, i don't dive deep into themes that are strictly informed by the IRL Japanese experience. I will do my due diligence in making sure any references to Japanese culture are accurate, and my portrayal of Shintoism is sensitive. Please hold me accountable for any missteps i will inevitably make.

Cultural sensitivity note for doyouliketosamba: I am NOT Brazilian, or Indigenous as i code José, nor have i experienced Brazilian culture. As such, i don't dive deep into themes particular to the Brazilian or Brazilian Indigenous experience. I will do my due diligence in making sure any references to Brazilian culture are accurate. Please hold me accountable for any missteps i will inevitably make.

Thank you so much for your time!!

[consequencesofargentdawn]

pretty disappointed to see recently that you coad support toxic players. as toxic and dramatic as PCU I dare say. So basically we have PCU on one hand, and then on the other hand, a forming clique of children. This seloriaz elf and her clique had previously been almost instanced in sw, rudely ignoring ppl for RPing supposedly with pcu people. when I /w them they ignored me again and then one of their alts whispered back at me saying to not bother them again because I was seen RPing with a PCU-affiliate whereas I simply chit-chatted with someone from the dawn that no longer even is in azura dawn. from the other screenshots also with shonn, I respect when he admits that he does 18+ RP and that he is mindful of not doing it public but that goes against the one who whispers, which is seloriaz and had a TRP profile with a not-so-hidden link of their nsfw character artwork. who's the real clown? pls do your research and don't give voice to toxic players that expose everyone to their nsfw artwork and they dont even give you a chance because you "RpEd WiTh ThAt oNe dUdE wHo We ThInK iS pcu sO wE iGnOre yOu!" So glad these people left Argent Dawn and went over to epsilon last I know. Better stay there. And coad, pls post this and if you kindly ask for evidence I have a few screenies though my TRP was wiped so I cant find that NSFW link I wrote above.

Sounds like malding PCU hotheads getting burnt here. You provide no receipts, no evidence of wrong doing from whoever you're trying to throw under the bus and your goons have created no less than seven (7) twitter accounts to harass someone.

People d o n o t want to interact with the PCU and are wholly entitled to curate and moderate their spaces online from those who align themselves with the group. You are a toxic brand who have attracted incels, genuine fascists and sympathetic rightoids who's attitudes towards women, minorities and vulnerable groups have routinely for the last five years and more been on par with the same type of "cleanse the society" rhetoric that neo-nazi extremists have pumped out. Your former Dear Leader often loved to compare himself to great totalitarian personages of the 20th century, and somewhat ironically given the context, to the great Butcherer of Bucha. You are abjectly the greatest hypocrites to ever ingloriously grace Argent Dawn.

We are breaking from our usual operating code as we don't generally reply to angry PCU wiseguys these days. The utter hysteria your ilk fill our inbox up with grants us glee and delight. Every anti-Semitic, racist and xenophobic jibe, every misogynistic and medieval "lol funny deus vult" quip and homophobic, transphobic and fragile cis white male angerbait sent our way? You think it does anything but encourage us further?

The PCU have n e v e r been able to provide genuine evidence of supposed wrong doing that hasn't clearly been through two layers of photoshop and reveals a players actual screen rather than the poorly cropped text box themselves and two buddies did together on Epsilon at three AM posing as other players to dirty, denigrate and slander innocent players. It's always someone posting easily faked TRP profiles, chat boxes that crop out 80% of the screen or suspiciously only use easily modifiable terms such as player names or two players sitting side by side one another (because that apparently is ERP?)

Yet what have we got? A mountain of evidence. A litany of questionable behaviors, off-color remarks and abuse dating over years of which at least half of all of this has been contributed by other players, the decent and normal people of Argent Dawn who read this blog to see just what scummy depths the PCU and all of its adjunct supporters are willing to prop up in the name of "good standards" and "protecting fellow roleplayers"

So to quote Akande Ogundimu, aka Doomfist.

Go and sit down.

[venacoeurva]

It’s the pinned post, READ IT PLEASE

Commissions can be found here: https://ko-fi.com/venacoeurva/commissions

After dark comms are announced on here, posted to my Bsky for that (not my main).

Non-art posts are tagged as “not art”, text posts are “vena vents”. If you don't want to see oc/canon, posts blacklist "TeldWren" (or if you ARE into it, well there you go). Reblogs of my own posts are “Day reblog”

I’m over 25, queer, dude-esque.

I have physical & memory issues, I have limited energy.

Not all content is close to mature or suggestive but I would still prefer you to be 18+ (or more ideally, like 21+). Obviously I can't track every note, but If I see someone underage follow me, engage with mature posts, or engage with my posts in a sexual way, I will block them.

Honestly, sometimes I just block off of bad vibes.

If your handle/reblogs have a suspicious amount of red names, you're outta here. There's accidental and then there's a pattern.

I block inc*st * and a/m shippers, people over like 25 way too invested in ship/fandom discourse (either side, really-- I am so fucking tired), certain kinks, people who are "playfully" rude to strangers, & anything else I get skeeved out/annoyed by. Curation, baby! You can do it, and so can I!

*Censored to avoid going in search results

My art’s not cleared for reposting (REPOSTING =/=REBLOGGING)/tracing/edits/RP without credit/permission. If you want to make merch, even for personal use, ASK ME FIRST if it’s more than printing it on paper & sticking it to your wall. Consider it a “no” until getting a yes. Understand how uncomfortable this can be to just DO that w/out asking (and people have).

My art's not cleared for commercial use but for myself or clients.

Non-OC/non-comm (unless it's a comm you bought) art is fine to use as icons, etc. for noncommercial/non-political-focused accounts w/ credit.

I don’t know how to feel about gift art of my OCs quite yet. I’m protective of them given how “fandomized” original content ended up. Please use common sense wrt other’s creations/chars and don't just use them without permission.

I block h*rry p*tt*r accounts on sight, yes, even people who put it out there that they don’t like the author and only engage in the fandom.

That's the main stuff, more info below

Other Rules:

Yes I make art, no you are not entitled to it (or my time!) and I am in my full right to block you and curate my experience and restrict your access to interacting with it (since some people like to kick up a fit about being blocked but their beef is about that, more on Twitter than here, but hey).

I BLOCK ACCOUNTS THAT LOOK LIKE BOTS. CHANGE YOUR ICONS AND DESCRIPTIONS AND REBLOG SOMETHING. THIS SITE IS MADE TO REBLOG THINGS.

I also block accounts dedicated to reposting (not reblogging) art unless the art is extremely well known, published, or very old.

If I mention a character not present in a post, I censor their name to avoid it ending up in results.

I am very uncomfortable around very churchy people and fertility obsessed pagan people unless they've proven worth trusting due to past experiences and obvious issues with bigoted rhetoric common in those spaces.

I am sex and kink positive (barring things that harm people and/or otherwise cannot be consented to), but that does not equate to trying to force people out of their comfort zones because they gotta ~liberate themselves~ like some people think it is. Also on the other end, stop using fundie talking points whenever someone is horny

Also, just because I am kink positive does not mean I am fine to interact with people into certain ones, or give you consent to try to rope me into one of yours, or for you to involve me in a kink we both have.

I can also tell when someone is fetish-fishing with more niche not-inherently-sexual-at-first-look ones toward unsuspecting people who did not consent to engage in sexual discussions with your weird ass. I am very much fine taking niche kink and fetish comms when I have after dark ones open, but I will not accept them from people who are known creeps who do things like this and steamroll boundaries.

I’m critical of sites/companies/brands, including small ones if it warrants criticism, including A_/0/ 3

I’m not your therapist or a crisis hotline. I cannot stop you from committing suicide or suffering from other severe mental crises and I am not trained to. I have mental health issues, myself, and you will just make both of our situations worse. I will block trauma-dumpers for my own well-being.

l will block if you’re reblogging personal posts for no reason when I forget/can’t turn reblogs off or reblog spamming one of my posts a ton in a row, because reblogging one post a trillion times is just a thing people do now?

I won’t share donation posts unless it’s vetted by others/via a trusted source. I cannot vet them nor do I have the time to.

I know sometimes my art ends up on Amazon, nothing I can do about that.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

reading every article in my twitter likes part 3

part one part two

took a break to bake some cookies and read a few chapters of Darcie Little Badger's new YA novel, but now it's back to the grind. for those of you playing along at home, I've made it as far back as my likes from early November 2021.

article 41: "Twitter Is The Worst Reader" by noted Fonda Lee on the twitterish tendency to assume the worst of everyone - particularly women, people of color, and other marginalized folks - at all times. of particular note is this scathing observation of twitter mobs demanding apologies from the targets of their harassment: "Never in the history of Twitter have I ever seen an apology be accepted or actually reduce the abuse leveled. One hundred percent of the time, they are dissected for inadequacy and insincerity, held up as proof of the offender’s malicious intent all along, and used as kindling to further fan the flames."

pried from behind the cold and unforgiving paywall of the New York Times it's article 42: "The Mark Zuckerberg Aesthetic" by Amanda Hess. I'm so tired of this utterly banal cyberpunk dystopia. there's not even any neon. and I would rather swallow a live iguana than ever have to interact with Zuck's shitty little metaverse.

article 43: "We Were Too Stupid for Jennifer's Body" by twitter user @/SamFateKeeper. did NOT expect this to talk so much about post-9/11 conservatism but I love the journey I've been taken on.

anyway probably should have mentioned that we've crossed the line back into tweets from October 2021.

article 44: "Thackery Binx is not Trans Masc, Sorry, and Neither is Rufio, or the Concept of Jonathan Taylor Thomas" from Julian K. Jarboe's substack. what a buckwild analysis of... something? characters that transmasc dudes of a certain age tend to project onto? also just a fantastic series of digs at poor useless Thackery Binx.

article 45: "New roots: Black musicians and advocates are forging coalitions outside the system" by Jewly Hight at NPR (our first NPRticle!). incredibly exciting to discover so many of my faves in this article - Amythyst Kiah! Yola!! Lizzie No!!! - discussing the way they've fought for space in a genre so heavily dominated by white artists. also a lot of cool new names to know - go listen to Roberta Lea n o w.

you guys are not gonna believe this but article 46 is ANOTHER entry from Ijeoma Oluo's substack. this time it's "All Of the Outrage You Could Ever Want." it's about "cancel culture," it's about accountability, it's about hierarchies of perceived value, you know the drill.

article 47: back to BuzzFeed for another article by Scaachi Koul, "Emily Ratajkowski’s New Book Tests The Limits Of Self-Awareness." an unsurprising and very fair criticism of Ratajkowski's essay collection, which I am still very much looking forward to reading based on my great appreciation of her September 2020 essay in New York Mag about experiences with an exploitative photographer. I don't need to her to solve the conundrum of benefitting from her objectification; I'm content to pick a stranger's brain.

article 48: speaking New York Mag, we've got "You Can Still Say 'Woman' But You Shouldn't Stop There" by Irin Carmon. I've never in my life seen such an impressive collection of pissbaby justifications for refusing to use inclusive language to talk about reproductive rights. grow up lmao.

article 49: everyone stop sharing that fake Bible verse about how Jesus was transmasc and read this article by Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg queering Joseph of the infamous technicolor dreamcoat.

article 50 (can you BELIEVE I've done 50 of these? 40 of which I've read over the course of a single Saturday?): the intriguingly titled "The Politics of 'Jewface'" by Rebecca Pierce at Jewish Currents. an almost undeservedly thoughtful response to some comments that, at a guess, Sarah Silverman did not think about for more than approximately 0.003 seconds before making.
