when will we talk about the willful helplessness epidemic on here. So many people on this god forsaken website demand to have any and all things that exist outside their personal experiences directly, personally pre-chewed and spoonfed to them. And when you do, they'll then ask for you to swallow for them, too, because, you see, in THEIR experience..,

one of the things that's the most fucking frustrating for me about arguing with climate change deniers is the sheer fucking scope of how much it matters. sweating in my father's car, thinking about how it's the "hottest summer so far," every summer. and there's this deep, roiling rage that comes over me, every time.

the stakes are wrong, is the thing. that's part of what makes it not an actual debate: the other side isn't coming to the table with anything to fucking lose.

like okay. i am obviously pro gun control. but there is a basic human part of me that can understand and empathize with someone who says, "i'm worried that would lead to the law-abiding citizens being punished while criminals now essentially have a superpower." i don't agree, but i can tell the stakes for them are also very high.

but let's say the science is wrong and i'm wrong and the visible reality is wrong and every climate disaster refugee is wrong. let's say you're right, humans aren't causing it or it's not happening or whatever else. let's just say that, for fun.

so we spend hundreds of millions of dollars making the earth cleaner, and then it turns out we didn't need to do that. oops! we cleaned the earth. our children grow up with skies full of more butterflies and bees. lawns are taken over with rich local biodiversity. we don't cry over our electric bills anymore. and, if you're staunchly capitalist and i need to speak ROI with you - we've created so many jobs in developing sectors and we have exciting new investment opportunities.

i am reminded of kodak, and how they did not make "the switch" to digital photography; how within 20 years kodak was no longer a household brand. do we, as a nation, feel comfortable watching as the world makes "the switch" while we ride the laurels of oil? this boggles me. i have heard so much propaganda about how america cannot "fall behind" other countries, but in this crucial sector - the one that could actually influence our own monopolies - suddenly we turn the other cheek. but maybe you're right! maybe it will collapse like just another silicone valley dream. but isn't that the crux of capitalism? that some economies will peter out eventually?

but let's say you're right, and i'm wrong, and we stopped fracking for no good reason. that they re-seed quarries. that we tear down unused corporate-owned buildings or at least repurpose them for communities. that we make an effort, and that effort doesn't really help. what happens then? what are the stakes. what have we lost, and what have we gained?

sometimes we take our cars through a car wash and then later, it rains. "oh," we laugh to ourselves. we gripe about it over coffee with our coworkers. what a shame! but we are also aware: the car is cleaner. is that what you are worried about? that you'll make the effort but things will resolve naturally? that it will just be "a waste"?

and what i'm right. what if we're already seeing people lose their houses and their lives. what if it is happening everywhere, not just in coastal towns or equatorial countries you don't care about. what if i'm right and you're wrong but you're yelling and rich and powerful. so we ignore all of the bellwethers and all of the indicators and all of the sirens. what if we say - well, if it happens, it's fate.

nevermind. you wouldn't even wear a mask, anyway. i know what happens when you see disaster. you think the disaster will flinch if you just shout louder. that you can toss enough lives into the storm for the storm to recognize your sacrifice and balk. you argue because it feels good to stand up against "the liberals" even when the situation should not be political. you are busy crying for jesus with a bullhorn while i am trying to usher people into a shelter. you've already locked the doors, even on the church.

the stakes are skewed. you think this is some intellectual "debate" to win, some funny banter. you fuel up your huge unmuddied truck and say suck it to every citizen of that shitbird state california. serves them right for voting blue!

and the rest of us are terrified of the entire fucking environment collapsing.

hello my dear king enthusiast

share some king hcs? or just any hcs in general

Okay I have a few, though I'm probably gonna make that a separate post! But here's one hc that I like the most:

So King is awkward at first when he gets roped into getting along with Purple's friends. (Because Purple wanted him to and who could say no to that face.)

But, once King gets more comfortable hanging around the CG, He starts calling each and every one of them their own unique nicknames. And it's one of those Dad nicks where he calls you "Squirt" or "Pipsqueak".

Purple - "Purple Nurple", "Hummingbird", "Purple Plum", "Small fry", "Little Bird", "Stinker", Etc.

TSC - "Hoop", "Donut Kid", "Picasso"

Red - "Furball", "Tiger", "Fists", "Karate-Kid"

Yellow - "Glasses", "Sparks", "Sherlock"

Blue - "Smurf", "Blue's Clues", "Treehugger"

Green - "Hotshot", "Fisher", "Grasshopper"

The Group as a whole: "Skittle Squad", "Power rangers", "Highschool Boy Band"

Everytime this happens and he calls for one of them, it's like a guessing game every time a new nickname is introduced.

And then they make fun of whoever got it.

His list is ever growing.

Jesus man, relax.

ATTENTION BELOVED FOLLOWERS

YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY BLOCKED BY MY BOT IF YOU DO NOT READ THIS POST

Now that I have your attention, I will explain the full situation.

I have 36,000 followers. The vast majority of these followers are bots, a fact that annoys me to no end. I realized that I may be able to solve this problem, although considerable effort would be needed in order to execute my plan.

I am currently learning Python in order to made a program that interfaces with the Tumblr API in a process that will retrieve my follower list and block thousands upon thousands of accounts automatically.

In order to filter out exclusively bots, I will provide one method of survival. Reply with a single period on THIS post. Make sure that your are commenting from your main blog, not a side account! I will make a list of users who are capable of engaging with my posts, and remove your names from the list of followers who shall be purged.

COMMENT "." ON THIS POST IN ORDER TO BE SPARED

If all goes to plan, I will run this program on FEBRUARY 10 2025, one month after the creation of this post. If this program takes longer than a month, the deadline for opting in for immunity will be similarly extended.

If you are a long time mutual, if you are a rarely online lurker, if you are a new impulse follower, please comment regardless! Even if we have never spoken, don't feel embarrassed by interacting. My goal is to have an entirely human followerbase, and everyone is welcome to enjoy the post-apocalyptic paradise.

Someone else's post:

I have seen so many posts like the one above in the last 24 hours and honestly, it's starting to piss me off. I know the majority of tumblr users aren't wlw, but do you know how patronising this kind of thing is? This was the most beautiful, intimate, lovingly animated lesbian sex scene, between two rich, well-drawn, compelling characters, but over and over, I see people comparing it unfavourably to Jayce and Viktor's final scene. The story between two men is seen as more powerful, more meaningful, gayer, deeper, than the one between two women.

Look, it's fine to enjoy the mlm ship more. I support you! I think Jayvik is cool! But can you all please, please, stop acting like it's inherently better just because the lesbian story didn't happen to be written for your personal tastes, this one time?

(Also, to answer the question: as a lesbian, I promise you, the lesbian sex is much, much gayer. You're just not the target audience.)

it's sometimes so silly to look in the notes of a polyamory art/post and see people like "is this cheating art....?" when the characters in canon are all extremely close friends. i know it's not malicious because most people think of monogamy as the default and anything outside that Must be cheating, but truly i'm always like. guys. guys Please.

please think about this for like 2 seconds.

under what circumstances do we think this non-canon couple might hold hands directly in front of their canon partners. and under what circumstances do we think the canon partners might be okay with this. do we Truly think this is a secret relationship. do we Truly think these guys would sneak around behind their canon partners' backs when all of them are extremely close friends with a high level of trust and commitment to each other.

would assuming that these extremely close friends have actually communicated with one another Exactly The Same Way They Do In The Canon Source Material perhaps cause less despair.....

-How can a man (Flug) get pregnant? It's impossible.

Flug could be a trans man, they can get pregnant bc they're usually born with an uterus. I was. I'm 27 weeks right now���🙌🏻✨

I think other people would just explain it with "it's fictional so anything is possible". Black Hat can canonically impregnate people by making them drink his saliva, none of dis shit makes sense or works irl

[shithowdy]

i'm mostly glad to see people on that "posting art" comic sharing similar experiences with reddit. maybe it's something about reddit favoring the curative over transformative side of fandom, but if you post any fanart that isn't a General Audiences depiction of a canon character drawn stylistically aligned with the source material, your comments are going to be nothing but inquiries as to why you made the choices you did or what something is supposed to be. when i posted some roleplay oc art on a fallout sub, nearly every comment was either asking me if one of the characters was based off a different character or why a character possessed a certain detail, and only one of them actually bothered to preface the question with a comment about the actual drawings. one guy just asked for an explanation of what "roleplay" meant. redditors are cultivators of Facts and if you show them something they don't understand, your little art post will become a press release.

It really does look like pivoting to Harris has thrown the Republican party for a loop. She's speaking clearly, concisely, and with wit; if she were to be put in the ring with Trump, it would be a knockout if only because she's coherent.

I'm voting blue regardless, but I've started to feel like I've moved from voting for the 'least bad' option to someone I might actually be more passionate in supporting.
