The cousin of "he would not say that:" he would not keep saying that. It was a one off funny line for one particular situation. Every memorable line does not need to become a running gag.
UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.
YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.
The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.
Weighing in to say:
The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info
Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.
And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.
But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity
So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.
Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat
The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!
Random white tumblr users would maybe benefit from ceasing to view racism as an immutable thing that you are and rather a thing that you do. So many people get confronted with their implicit biases and instead of stopping and saying 'oh yeah, they're right, I should do something to change that', they say 'but I'm not racist, because racist people are evil and I'm not evil.' Unfortunately racist people are your uncle, and your mother, and your sister, and your friend, and you. It's not an immutable characteristic, it's a thing that you do, and you're so caught up in your perception of yourself as a 'good person' that you choose to be blind to the racism you perpetuate, thus staying racist. It's a vicious ironic cycle.
mmmmhmmm
All of this, but if you'll all indulge me, I just want to spell it out again a bit differently, because I think it's important: once you start thinking of "good" and "bad" as teams you belong to, not only do you become blind to the evil you perpetuate, but you start thinking of evil as good. Using the example above, is racism bad? Most people, I hope, would say yes. But when you think of good and bad as teams you're assigned to, rather than things anyone can do, it doesn't matter whether racism is good or bad, it only matters which team is doing it. If you're on the "good" team, then you can be as racist as you like, as long as you're being racist to the people on the "bad" team. Rather than racism being something that's always wrong, no matter what, now you've created a class of acceptable targets that you can get away with being racist to, because you're on the "good" team and they're not. This can happen with anything, not just racism. Fatphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, misogyny, transphobia, ableism...anything.
This game is fun but I fucking hate the wheel of fortune
Say whatever about the woke mind virus, MAGA is braindead, groomed, and proud. They simply don't care about facts/truth/humanity.
Oh i am SEATEDDD

big fan of when youtubers break out the corkboard and string. thats when you know youre in for an insanely pointless breakdown of a media you're only tangentially familiar with.
wait how could i forget him. mr gilbert the king of this genre.
Fucking lol.
Elon Musk is possibly ‘exiting’ the cabinet and will be reduced to an informal advisor.
Hmmmm
I really like this website because somebody will be like “there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic, bootlicker” and you can be like okay this clearly evolved from a valid point about how the US is too car-centric. But something happened to it.
happy 10th birthday to my favorite post of all time
