Elon and 'constant failure'.

Actually Tumblr users are a bit too caught up in the entirety of high school. Being a "gifted" kid, being a nerd, going to parties, not going to parties... Idk at some point you have to let it go, whether the experience was negative or positive. You're an adult pushing thirty surely you've done something else with your life in the past decade that is more formative and interesting than who you were (or weren't) at 15

Ok this might be a bit of a weird question but I keep arguing with my mom and sis about this so I need y'all to answer this

[For context my mom and sis keep telling me I shower for too long but my showers are usually 45 minutes to an hour]

(edit: *your showers not you showers)

If you go over 10 minutes, you don't pay the water bill.

Grew my hair long and now I’m averaging 12-15

Wtf…. That’s like 2 songs long.. my showers have barely begun at the 10 minute mark how do y’all move that fast

I just don’t believe people when they say they can shower in 10-15 and be completely clean, thats unfathomable to me. Even if I’m not washing my hair I still need like 30 mins to feel even remotely clean??? ARE you cleaning everything? The back of your neck? The back of your ears? You people already admitted to not washing your legs. Are you washing your genitals? Your butt and butthole? ALL your folds??? Be for fucking real

obviously this is a very specific experience and the world is not kind to fat people of whatever gender. but it is very jarring to go on tiktok or reels and see a post of a fat man getting dressed and all the comments are girls going “wowwww guys i think this is my type” or “he’s so cute 🎀” and each of those comments have 10k likes and then you scroll down a few videos and it’s a fat woman getting dressed and all the comments are men going “wow i wish this fat pig bitch would slit her wrists”

idk guys guess which comments are on which video. just saying

in so many of the exact same situations, men are offered kindness and compassion while women are offered nothing but scorn and humiliation. it’s fucking crazy

sorry to be the fun police people will say this about any fuckin (white) guy as long as he doesnt have a foot long beard and drive a pickup truck

Hey did you know there's a tell all book about the behind the scenes of Meta and the author is forbidden from promoting it?

The good news is however that it's already published and can't be stifled and whoever didn't sign the NDA can promote it as much as they want.

She's not allowed to promote it?

Well then, I guess we'll have to do it for her.

my coworker told me hes "straight but maybe demisexual" and i explained that a man who is only sexually attracted to women he personally knows is still, by all definitions, heterosexual and he seemed a little disappointed by the news

by tumblrs calculations its queer for a straight man to fuck no strings attached but its also queer for a straight man to like a woman before he has sex with her so if you think about it the real faggots are cishet guys. we should start yelling it from cars

Personally, I think China should reiterate and bar all Americans from studying in China if this bill passes. It's only fair.

"i can't benefit from oppressive power structures, i'm literally nice :)" is a disturbingly common sentiment on here and if u express it then i can never trust u again

AND THEY ARENT EVEN NICE!!!

"I will take it down in your sleep."

"You will not, I paid 300 gold for it."

"Three hundred--?!"

Of course you have blue eyes and pronouns

"Ice, is my character a stereotype?Is my story stereotypical?"

Before you ask me this, I need you to read every lesson and click and search through every single link!

There are as many ways to accidentally (or purposely!) scribble up a stereotype as there are stories to tell. It takes our entire lives to learn and keep up with the ways media (fiction and nonfiction) will find ways to depict us negatively in a narrative. Why would it be any easier for you? 😅

If you actually want to develop the skill to see what and how stereotypes manifest in your media, you have to study it. It will take you time! You will have to read, and then you will have to apply what you've read! That's part of media analysis and comprehension! Because at the end of the day, I could present you with a surface level, lovely story containing a stereotypical narrative, but if you didn't know what to look for and why, you wouldn't see it.

And again, I will always tell you to engage with Black stories. Why do you want to put me in your stories, but you don't want to engage with anything created by me? Why do you want to know how to write my voice, but you're not willing to read anything spoken by my voice? How else do you plan on figuring that out? What is your intention, here? Let's ask ourselves these questions!
