more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.

you are greeted by...... her

ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE, people dropping mad mad sums of money on gfms and charities and stuff are extremely impressive but that DOES NOT MEAN that putting like $5 towards someone's fund or any good cause is any less valuable, a lot of crowdfunding is about momentum and those single digits add up super fast, you do not need to be Rolling In The Dough to make someone's day!! moving the dial at all is extremely positive!!

“horror movies of the 1970s reflect some of the grim social developments of the decade. fortunately, when society goes bad, horror films get good. in the 1970s horror makes its way back into the cultural spotlight. horror movies dealing with contemporary social issues and addressing genuine psychological fears were big hits during the decade.”

I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.

"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?

Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?

If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?

Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?

I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'

[lastoneout]

the whole guilt-tripping language in posts about important topics paired with how I'm still getting bitches in my notes talking about why it's actually good to tell "bad" people to kill themselves continues to prove to me that a lot of people have absolutely no concept of social justice or activism outside of assuming the worst of and then viciously attacking strangers on the internet

not a new observation by any means but it still blows my mind how whenever a natural disaster happens in a supposed Bad State every white gay city slicker will be cheering about it like its actual 4 year old morality. grow the fuck up

You know, if the world held a pop quiz and my life was on the line, i’d choose you as the subject. You’re like a book that i’ve annotated, only that i had to copy you into a separate notebook by hand and maybe forgot a few things, like how i don’t remember what colour you like more, black or lilac or brown (but only like a good leather boot kind, not a brick wall kind) but i know that its one of them because i heard you talk to one of your friends about it, and when i remember about everything that you've ever said to me, i know that those were the colours that you talked most about and i know that you put body mist like its a lifestyle, but only ones with hints of vanilla and some of them you don't even touch at all because you attach a lot of significance to scents, and if you don't like someone you’ll also grow to hate the smell of their perfume and i like to think that i'm a bit like you in that way as well, cause sometimes in school ill remember what mom smells like and ill spritz a bit of this fancy perfume i have in my cupboard all over myself because maybe then i wont feel lonely. I know that whenever we have the choice to order food and someone offers pan asian, you’ll always say yes cause man asian is your favourite and not noodle pan asian but more like sushi and dim sum pan asian and i know that when someone tries to serve you something with maybe fats or calories in it you'll silently mutter to yourself and try to calm down but it rarely happens and i know that your stress or happiness or love always rests in your fingers, how you strip your nailbeds and make them bleed all just for a catharsis that you don't even notice anymore and i know that you love to hog the blanket but that you hate hugs from people including me and you hate when people touch or take your stuff but how you'll always take my stuff and how whenever we’re together you’ll mention taylor swift at least once to fill the void and how you so intensely hate being reminded of failure but how you never defend it in front of the wrong people cause mentally your head has already made and excell sheet laying out who all is bad but never who all is good for some reason and every night i sleep hoping that i never feature on that list even though i know that sometimes i do. I know that you believe that i can do art and yet you don’t respect my passion for it enough to respect my rituals for it and how i know that you’ll probably never come for a book launch party or a gallery opening but i know that ill definitely recieve a text about it the next morning talking about how im great but will never mention how im not great enough that you took a day off to see it. I know that i read too much about you that i know that im not the most important for you but you still hold a place for me in your heart. Even if all you know about me is that im your annoying younger sister and that i really like chocolate, ill still love you even if you dont have time for me didi.
