Don’t you love it when petty bitches make complaints to your supervisor
#a chick I used to work with at a previous place complained today to my supervisor about me#apparently I didn't acknowledge her#and I was rude#my supervisor was just like ???#and literally told her 'I've never had any problems with Julisa's customer service'#but obviously given that it was a customer complaint she had to follow it up#which is understandable#it just shits me off cause this chick came through my register one other day recently-ish#and she made no indication of recognising me#so I treated her as I would treat any other customer#I have no idea what I ever did to her to warrant the grudge she seems to hold against me#I've always thought she disliked me cause when she and I worked at the same place I never let her tell me what to do#cause I had been there much longer than she had#so I think that rubbed her the wrong way#especially since I am much younger than her#it just sucks man#I just wonder what her aim was?#like is she that petty that she wants me to lose my job?#I don't understand#on the plus side she apparently told my supervisor that my mum is lovely lmao#which is true#real life shenanigans#julisa.txt

DC supervillain of the week who traps the justice league(in their league disguises) in a reality tv show like love island. it airs on tv and everything like they use supervillain powers to forcefully broadcast "love island: justice league edition" while the supers have to try and figure out how to escape. during a personal squabble wondy steps up and says "everyone calm down, we're all a team, we each have our strengths and weaknesses, we need to work together to solve this" and then it cuts to her talking head segment and she says "im not a fan of green lantern."
#actually im not sure who diana would dislike i feel like she projects an air of being Above All That#but there are some green lanterns i think might rub her the wrong way. isnt one of them sexist due to being an Old Comics Character but the#got phased out so it just left the impression that the character never grew out of his slimy behavior or something?#i cant remember the GL drama. sorry i have yet to find someone that makes me enthusiastic abt the GLs so i forget the lore#but i know there's a GL everyone hates in fandom. so lets say she doesnt like that guy.

I think that Orym actually does doubt Imogen, but this isn't a thing that is unique to Imogen. Orym doubts all of them to an extent, because paranoia is something he struggles with (and this is continuously reinforced by the story).
It's not a 'good' thing that he should never get over, nor is it an immoral character flaw that proves he actually hates Imogen. However it's also not something I think he can get over as long as the threat of having to possibly fight his friends exists.
"I have all the faith in the world in you guys, all of you. And I have also spent time thinking how to neutralize each of you."
#cr discourse#critical role#cr3#orym#text post#people talk about orym being hypervigilant and then deny his behaviour created out of that hypervigilance#but also see people being weird about orym due to this. you can dislike him all you want but some people are doing too much#“he hates imogen! she has given him no reason to doubt her! she is good” guys its literally just paranoia#he doesn't need a reason to doubt her nor any of them. he just does due to their uncertainty about everything#this group is impulsive. shown by their 'we are an improv group' response to the question 'whats your plan to stop the end of the world'#this is all in line with oryms usual level of slightly paranoid behaviour which is exasperated and justified by the story#he followed fearne away from camp when she wanted to do something on her own but then she was jumped and nearly killed#that paranoia was proven correct#again the next night when he slept with a sword on his back after fearnes dad threatened to come back and attack her friends#and he was attacked in his sleep (by laudna but at the time he didnt know that)#then imogen told the whole group that she and laudna considered giving into the darkness together#something that both ladies then expressed they wanted orym to take them out if they went too far#this is just a result of all of this#so i think this is a non-issue. if you like it great. if you dont then whatever#just this time it rubbed people the wrong way because of irl hang ups of people valuing their own personal privacy#the same way any kind of mind stuff 'modify memory' or psychic reading of minds without permission rubs me personally the wrong way

what i like about ten is how genuinely unfit he is as the doctor. his tragedy is that he's too mortal to be immortal. he's immediately set to crash and burn the minute he spawned in. he's like an outlier and an outsider in basically every way and tbh it's wild that he became one of the most known incarnations of the character + some later incarnations have taken after him bc his whole thing to me feels very "i wish i wasn't who i am but i am terrified to be any other way". twelve on the other hand feels so much more definitive. like this is what i feel like the doctor would be like on a regular basis and more incarnations (in this era of nuwho at least) would realistically be more like him. this is the doctor at their core when they're not actively trying to disguise themself as something else. they are ancient and tired and angry and it shows clear as day
#whos the anon that told me i'd go crazy over ten and really love twelve they clocked me so hard its so embarrassing#he sucks and i like him :)#dr who#i feel like there should be a better way to write him being mean to clara other than making comments abt her appearance though#even though in universe i know it's not in like a misogynistic way it's like an 'alien thinks you look weird' way#it kind of rubs me the wrong way though. (this is my only significant gripe abt how twelve is characterized rly so far)#10 era#12 era

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.
It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.
By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.
Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.
#anti intellectualism#media#movies#books#music#critical thinking#my friend who primarily listens to one very popular band once said that people who listen to obscure music are annoying and pretentious#which rubbed me the wrong way because 1 she knows that I listen to obscure music and 2 it’s such a cowardly consumerist take. anyone can#make music and hey a lot of the people who do make GOOD music. and this goes for all *obscure* media#this post was mostly inspired by people talking about Barbie and those anti pick me girls like the pick nobody girls who insist thinking is#for boys and having fun with an empty brain is for girls. Greta gerwig is an artist. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I know it has a deeper#message than haha cute pink! I’ve seen the summaries about the true meaning. the pinkness and popularity doesn’t negate the narritive.#though in the notes I saw a lot of tumblristas comunistas shitting on the film for being one big ad that people *fell for* which tbh is#tbh almost as anti-intellectual. don’t get me wrong they milked this film to sell hella shit but I don’t believe kids who play with dolls#are the target audience as these people claim. Barbie is a culturally iconic symbol almost archetypical of societal expectations for women#you say barbie people think unblinking perfect plastic pink girly. reminds me of the poem The Last Mojave Indian Barbie. yeah yeah you all#hate brands but this one carries undeniable significance and makes for a powerful literary device. it’s been used many times before#sorry for writing a tag essay about a film I haven’t even seen but I’m tired of internet people focusing so much on proving others wrong#that they end up oversimplifying everything just as much as the other person. god I saw people doing this to Nimona saying transphobes were#looking too deep into her character and they’re reactionary clowns for making that jump. like for once the transphobes are right. she is#trans. it’s a queer story. and irl the first people who notice queerness are the bigots who can tell you’re different. sick owns telling#them the story’s not that deep is harmful and it’s like they’re ignoring the real message on purpose. okay enough rambling hehe! thanks#barbie#nimona

sincerity is perhaps the most important thing in the world
#penni yeets her thoughts into the void#in so many different ways#a faculty member went with me today to an appt and his lockscreen is a picture of his wife (who I know and love) and he told me about their#wedding and how they met and his sincerity and kindness to me made a scary situation a thousand times better#and sincerity is so dear to me in friendships too. I miss sarcasm I think and playful rudeness rubs me the wrong way. sincerity is the way#to my heart#want to be friends with me? tell me about the thing you love. boom. friendship achieved. now sit here and listen to this story from dnd#just. idk. had the chance to muse lately#also! brief and vague medical update! still not healthy entirely but I have a diagnosis and medicine! I win!!!!!

how you feel about bisexual people saying they’re gay
I don't like it when people use gay as an umbrella term because it's literally not. I know one bi girl who always went "i'm sooo gayy" and I'm like "I thought u were bi??" and she was like "it's just simpler to say gay". I really don't get how though? Bi and queer are the same amount of syllables as gay. To me it's more confusing if ur talking about how gay you are and then people see you with a boyfriend/girlfriend. I guess it's not that big of a deal but it's def a pet peeve of mine and rubs me the wrong way.
#also one time my friends had a powerpoint night and my one friend's was like “Top 5 most homophobic and Top 5 gayest disney princesses”#really stupid I know#and the top 3 were like "I see her as bi#I see her as pan#I see her as aro/ace and I'm like “none of that is gay” and she's like#“it's an umbrella term” and she's not even lgbt herself (well she identified as ace back then and then bi and now says she's straight) so i#just rubbed me the wrong way that she called it an umbrella term because it's not idk why this bothers me so much though#if any bisexuals follow me can you explain this? or say why you like/don't like it. I want to hear the bi perspective on this#also anon I meant to ask this first thing in the tags but what do you think?#thanks for the ask!#anon ask#lgbtq discourse

i feel rly sad and conflicted abt one of my best friends on earth but idk who to ask for advice bc i usually would have consulted her in this situation lmao
#shes cool and i dont want to lose her and i know Logically i love her but atm i feel so strange towards her#and idk what to do abt it bc i know in the past ive like...over-communicated a lot and over the last few yrs ive been trying to not do that#bc thats an anxious impulse i think .so like . self control#AND IMPORTANTLY . i may actually be the problem here ?? ok again i love her i dont want to lose her etc but basically ive noticed a pattern#which is that whenever she gets a bf/a man (even fwb) in her life she basically stops talking to me and the limited interactions we do have#become abt him. and while i support her it is acc too much. like we barely talked while she was w her ex bf until he became abusive and#then we talked a lottt like all our convos understandably were abt him . and then when they broke up we kept hanging out so i didnt rly see#the pattern there but still she seemed to centre men a lot in her life like sbe was excited to not date and find herself and then#immediately afterwards started seeing this other guy with whom shes basically in a relationship now#hes nice and all but like . HES ALL SHE TALKS ABT . actually we barely talk atp but when we do its abt him#she sends me reels sometimes but its all abt being jealous abt him etc . and shes bi but she said she doesnt like the idea of dating women#bc theyre scary . and i thought she was kidding in the ohhh women r so beautiful that theyre intimidating way but no she was being entirely#fr . she explained jts bc she was bullied by a girl in the past but like...bro ur ex bf literally abused you like surely you see men are#capable of just as much harm? but obvs who she dates is her own choice . but anyway she has consistently made plans w me then cancelled the#like an hr before . or asked to call me and then proceeded to not do so . when i ask her to meet/call its the same she just doesnt respond#or she cancels ? and while i understand anxiety sucks it feels SO WEIRD STILL . maybe im the problem slightly too bc ik i have no right to#feel this way but it rubs me the wrong way that ik she has so much time to spend w him/calls him all the time despite meeting him just a fe#months ago whereas i just have to like ...be ok w not actually having talked to her for a long time#its gotten to the point where when she says do you wanna meet/call i automatically respond yes and then just assume it doesnt happen . like#there have been several times over the past few months i double booked plans over when we were supposed to call/meet bc i was sure she#wouldnt show up and ive been right each time#like she sends me texts that she misses me or im her best friend etc etc occasionally and then acts rly . contrary to that ?#ive talked to her abt the issue w cancelling on me twice btw. when i was still dating the situationship person she would get sooo mad at#them for not respecting my time and shed tell me i deserve better etc etc and then like . she doesnt seem to respect my time at all#anyway she said she understand and she admits to like...being flaky etc but does nothing abt it#and its not like i can tell her to stop caring so much abt men bc we sorta had convos like that b4 she got This involved w this guy#and apparently it did nothing and the last thing i want is to police her relationships or get in her way#its just AUSHD AUGH#anyway i rly miss her it just doesnt feel the same at all anymore

So like, imagine this. It's the first big family reunion after COVID restrictions let up, your family took a few years to all get vaccinated, ect. Your kid is 6, so they weren't old enough to take to the last one, this is the first time they're meeting some of these more distant relatives. So you introduce them to Uncle Mike, and you say "This is Uncle Mike. He thinks you're so small and delicious, and that it'd be so easy to pick you up and throw you at the nearest wall and break all your bones." If that 6 year old then power kicks uncle Mike in the nuts and runs away screaming, whose fault is that?
So this post is about Doctor Who. The patron unknowable Eldritch entity of your country has just spent an entire afternoon telling you that the universe is full of things that are stronger and bigger than you, and a lot of them will happily blenderize your planet for a bit of rocket fuel, or eat all of you for a big Sunday brunch. And he's letting that ship full of slavers happily fly away to tell the entire galaxy about your tiny planet's existence. You are an animal, your empathy and reason only extends to the boundaries of what you can understand, and the Doctor has just told you that the vast majority of the galaxy sees you as prey. Me, personally? I'm with Harriet, I wouldn't stand a chance in that situation, I'd 100% take that shot.
All I'm saying is that if the Doctor wanted to foster empathy, they probably shouldn't have started with enthusiastically explaining how cleverly the aliens were going to coerce them into slavery, especially not to a woman who grew up in Britain as it rebuilt itself from the blitz in a post-nazi Europe
#messages from knave#doctor who#i think ten is really the one who fumbled the bag here#Harriet was just an animal. a british one at that#she's right! humans JUST GOT HERE#also harriet was a baby boomer you know you need to explain things to them like 4 or 5 times#also can't discount the fact that she grew up in the aftermath of the (at the time) latest large scale empirical conquest#her context for behavior is european colonial power#so when you tell her that there's Empires Out There what do you think she'll do like logically#also her context for how refugees are treated is again 90s Britain post-thatcher policies#so she's also not expecting any kindness to come floating back to them#like i GET the point of the episode is that reacting with war level violence against perceived threats is a bad behavior#but I don't think the doctor was very empathetic in that situation either. they're judging 90s humanity against their breadth of experience#when they've been alive for longer than humans have had guns#i don't even judge them for tanking her career because she clearly can't handle the influx of insane knowledge she's just learned#but still. their reaction has always kind of rubbed me the wrong way because I can't fathom how they expected anything different#she's responcible for a lot of people! she feels responcible for the whole planet in that moment! what did you really expect her to do!

Trying to figure out why this guy in my discussion group for class was annoying me so much and I finally figured it out: I hate being in any class after 3:30pm and the moment I set foot in that room I am immediately irritated just by the fact that I'm there
#shut up me#Extremely frustrating because no one around me deserves my snappiness#i just dont want to be there so badly so every little thing rubs me the wrong way#I do think he genuinely annoys me a little- he can be a little disrespectful to the prof behind her back#and when we first sat down in a group together I was rereading a section of the text to remember the specifics#and because none of us had said anything for a few seconds after he said his thoughts he was like#''you all... did do the reading right?'' come on man.#(''That's a slight on my honour so now I will forever hold a grudge!'' come on man (to myself this time).)#and I think he misses the point to a lot of the readings we do... thats not like. a crime. but again I am already irritated just being ther#but also ''who would want to read this! its just weird.'' sir youre talking to the freak that loved both of these texts#maybe if you read a few horror stories... youll calm down#Im trying not to let my irritation with the hour cloud my perspective and just focus on not accidentally snapping at someone. sigh#reminder to myself to never take a class that STARTS at 3pm or later. It drains the life out of me

new girl at work (her names Brooklyn just in case I ever bring her up again...not that I expect anyone to remember this LOL) understands me on such a crazy level that no one else at work does because she's also got a chronic illness that deals a lot with fatigue. and when she takes her breaks, she goes out to her car specifically because she has to get away from everyone and decompress JUST LIKE ME. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MY OTHER COWORKERS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT?? we keep having these bonding moments over chronic fatigue I feel so seen right now
#it makes me a bit sad that she's rubbed a few of my other coworkers the wrong way#shes really outwardly outgoing and is quick to take charge when she feels the need#well some of my older tenured baristas aren't real fond of a newbie waltzing in so bold BUT LIKE. SHE IS REALLY GOOD AT HER JOB#i get why they feel the way they feel but as someone who fucking loves being told what to do at work i think shes awesome#txt

is lana becoming a villain??? i gotta say i really love that for her!!!! it’s so intriguing!!! soft beautiful do-no-wrong girl next door who is so so so full of rage about being victimized and seen as powerless finally snapping and weaponizing that persona???? so good!!!!!!!!!!
can she pull back from that “precipice” lionel warns her about?? would she even if she could??
#raisin’s smallville liveblog#smallville#lana lang#like she’s always had power and i think all along throughout the show she’s been flexing those muscles and testing out how much she really#has and what she could do with it#it’s really interesting to me her struggle against asserting that power against someone stronger and just really really hating being#the lesser part of the equation#she really has grown and this is so brilliant imo to have her finally round this curve#her rage and ambition are sooooooo important for her character and that’s why it’s always rubbed me the wrong way when she acts like the#soft devotional girlfriend because i’m like girl that is not you!!! you have such a sharp passion inside you!!!

so we suspect one of our dogs grew up abused which is. a terrible way to start this. but we've had her for five or six years now and she still retains a lot of her habits but its very cute to see how our love for her has changed her. youll see her all curled up tail tucked in ears flat as you approach but shes making these tiny little tail wags anyway.
#when we first adopted her she was soo scared she hid and bit and ran away. and shes still very scared but in a shaky way not a running way.#she loves getting pets from me lol.#and she could not handle my dad for the longest time and she still fairly cautious but now she'll come up to him for pets! its so sweet#and when a lot of people when come over she used to nip at heels but i think shes taught herself to just hide under the bed instead#and even then! sometimes she comes down of her own accord!#she loves belly rubs. and when i hold her tiny head between my hands and grind down on her skull.#now that shes getting up there in age + we think she was a mom before we adopted her she has difficulty getting onto couches#and shes been doing this thing where when you sit down and she wants to join when you bend down to pick her up she'll run from your hand#and i think she likes it because shes like running and jumping and wagging her tail and showing her belly. shes such a freak.#and she jumps like a bunny rabbit for treats its so cute its my moms nickname for her.#and shes always walking underfoot because shes a freak#and occasionally if you pet her wrong she'll snap and you and then immediately get really apologetic and wanting pets its so sad#this has just been me talking about my dog. i love my dog. ill post a picture of my dog.

... Having some Feelings, and I can't entirely even blame the shitty sleep I've been getting this week lol
#keep having my sister tell me i should listen to more sapphic music and uh#on the one have she's probably right i do tend to live in one of like 3 holes of music#none of them are technically sapphics (though a more stoned certain of me could make a compelling case about MCR)#but i keep getting stuck with like#she's pansexual#we're both multisexual so we have a lot in common there but like she knows i like women (and more) and ditto me about her#but i also keep thinking about like#I've said it's fine only like a million times because i can't afford to exit the closet in any sense while living at home#but like#i think she's suggesting it from a sense of a sapphic person being a Woman (whatever that is) who likes women and/or wants to fuck women#the problem I've got with that is conplex at best but#Listen i don't strictly identify with sapphic as a descriptor for how i experience attraction#because I tend to Feel that it implies an attachment to womanhood in one's own gender that I don't have#and i know that's kinda silly#but my beginning of my gender journey was the internal record scratch that came at 17 YO when a peer called me a woman#and i spent a good few years with Not A Woman as my biggest gender identifier/descriptor#my point is that it rubs me the wrong way for my sister#who is at least partially a woman#to suggest to me that i as a queer genderfluid(?) tranny Needs to listen to more sapphic music#yeah i relate to some of it like the Ashnikko music or Chappell Roan For Sure (queerness is a series of been diagrams of course)#but i can't help but feel that she misses the part where i also identify heavily with the way that Jim Hutton spoke of Freddie#or the way that Elton writes about previous lovers#or the way that George Michael did All That#and i think she (i mean naturally as a woman who was assigned a matching gender at birth) forgets the Gender of it all#anyway#this is an oversimplification of a summary of why i have been unable to get into BTVS even though i know it's a great example of queer media#and it's not that any of this has passed in actual words#but I. I Know when people aren't saying something and when i can't read minds i lean on context clues and what i know#and i can't help but think that 20+ years of practice has given me at least some insight#anyway i have lots i could say but I think I've run out of room actually So
