Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?

Long collection of resources under the cut.

ALSO you should consider browsing Virtual Pet List and seeing if there are any pet sites you might be interested in playing. There is a whole genre of browser games right under your nose

Another one that I just found recently is this, which is a whole collection of blogs, organized by topic!

Look guys the real internet IS STILL THERE I'm going to cry

Getting off of twitter and onto neocities has really healed me and I am so glad to see it is healing other people too ;u; let's retreat into the self-made digital woods and away from corporate bs pls, I am so tired

REBLOGGING

This campaign defies censorship in social media to raise awareness for early detection of breast cancer

this is actually super fucking smartass of them

Reblogging as this is so important everyone! My mum had breast cancer and that shit is not nice so please check yourself ladies and gents! 💕💕💕

I will forever reblog this when I see it because its so important

lets have phone sex over walkie talkies

“bend over” “bend what? over”

I hate this place

I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping

1) Vaping is confirmed to cause cancer. Vaping coats the lungs with toxic substances, such as heavy metals and benzene, which are known to cause cancer

2) Many vapes contain diacetyl, which, when inhaled causes popcorn lung, or scarring of the lung

3) Ultrafine particles, when being inhaled, can be lodged in the trachea (not good!)

4) Ultrafine particles can also constrict the arteries in the lungs potentially causing A HEART ATTACK

5) Vaping is relatively new. Not much studies have been done in comparison to tobacco. Plus, the vaping companies are powerful people. There is a large chance that they are purposely downplaying and even burying any evidence that vaping is harmful - just like the tobacco companies before them. They do not care about you, or your health, or the truth. They only care for money

Also STOP VAPING INDOORS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. Holy shit, if you're gonna wreck your lungs at least give me the option not to wreck mine.

It’s such an issue that the MTA had to run a campaign about it

yeah okay ill reblog that

Please I’m begging yall as an asthmatic, your fruit-flavored vapor will still give people around you who are smoke-sensitive attacks. So will weed. Don’t do it inside; if you’re at a bus stop or something try to not stand right next to people or move downwind of them if you can.

Words never used to describe Black women:

Lets add those to our vocabulary on a regular basis, shall we?

You REALLY want to be called dainty, delicate, and fragile? Genteel? 

Not by me. No sir. Super hard space metal wrapped in a velvet glove lined with fur maybe. But delicate, dainty, and fragile? 

Absolute not. 

Genteel? Maybe…my grandmother is the most churchy person I know and even SHE’S not genteel. 

Yes, yes I do. Because I AM all of those words. But because of anti-Black racism and sexism, Black women are denied the very basis of femininity. We aren’t allowed to hurt. We’re supposed to be able to ‘do it all by ourselves” and never show weakness and parade around acting like we’re made of teflon coated adamantium.

No thank you.

I am genteel, fragile, delicate and dainty.

Aw… Black women want to be infantilized like white women are? But really, you’re ahead of the curb. That’s what REAL equality feels like. That’s how most/all men feel all the time. But at least your worth isn’t measured by both men and women by how confident and invulnerable you can be. (Or… ONLY vulnerable in a romantic context after you’re already in a relationship founded on how invulnerable you are…) How about extending that genteel, fragile, delicate/dainty stuff to US. (Specially black men, their hardness expected of them is off the charts.)

At the bolded, that’s not my intention. Your last sentences are what I really want in terms of giving Black people humanity. We are always supposed to be “hard,” both Black men and women. We’re supposed to be able to take any and everything and shuck and jive it off like good little Mammies/Uncle Toms.

As I said in another post, we take care of things that are deemed “delicate.” The care is what I focus on, not the sexist infantilization of my womanhood.

Fair. How would you draw the line/distinction?

There is a level of condescension that comes with infantilization. One can treat me as a delicate individual without acting as if I can’t do anything for myself.

Just as one can treat a man as a delicate individual without insinuating that his “manhood” is in jeopardy.

But I don’t imagine we should idealize/foster female delicacy, or delicacy as a female trait, right? And I don’t think initialization necessarily means condescending. I don’t think I normally use a condescending tone with small children or young adults. I think of them all as my equals. Even babies. Just people like you and me… who just happen to not know how to do anything beside cry and writhe.

My issue is the fact that Black women are denied femininity PERIOD, and thus my post may come off as gender essentialist in some ways.

Because delicacy is denied to me as a black woman, it should be fostered in a healthy manner that does not hinder my functioning as a decent human being.

girl, these niggas. i aint even going there with eyan-j’s tom ass. *smh* they cant even interpret the base post because they just don’t fucking get it. cause i never saw you wanted to be infantilized and i certainly do not think the way Black women are treated makes us above or close to equal to anyone at all, shape or form. and then to turn it into a boohoo what about the brothers (extend that to us, fuck you) type shit? misss the fuck outta me.

that lil danyphantom negro and eyanj w their antiblack misogyny, all butthurt and writhing in anger at black women wanted to be considered as delicate as anyone else?

theyre repeat offenders.

that lil danyphantom shithead used to comment on my shit all the time, ALWAYS on some condescending PRO-WHITE, PRO-MALE bullshit, told him to stop bothering me or he’d get blocked, and he continued doing so several times after being told off til i did block his ass.

and eyanj stays on some antiblack misogynist “boohoo males are the true victims” bullshit, talmbout “why do these women have to talk at all” every damn day.

its just like real life where the only way you hear from negroes is when theyre gonna come shit on you.

you can scream and holler in pain coz everyones killing you

and they will sit there and file their nails til its time to join in on ravaging you.

fuck them to fucking hell

Hey, assholes earlier in this thread?

Look at this list of words. Really LOOK at it:

Aside from arguably the word ‘fragile’ there’s not a goddamned word on that list that indicates a lack of strength or personal conviction. There’s nothing infantilizing there - unless you’ve already bought into the belief that femininity is inherently infantile.

And Fragile? Know what fragile in this sense indicates? WORTH OF CARE AND PROTECTION. If you think that something that’s fragile can’t also be strong, or that even if it isn’t also strong that it’s not worthy of respect, you are a horrible human being.

What the OP wants is access to the same variety of available identities and social attitudes that white women have access too.

To be motherfucking dainty

And delicate

And Elegant

And Poised

And yes, Fragile

And Genteel

And Graceful

Because blackness should not be a fucking special and marked category of femininity.

WHY IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

JUSTICE FOR CASEY GOODSON

On December 4th, 2020, Casey Christian Goodson Jr. (23 years old) was shot three times in the back and murdered by a Sheriff’s Deputy as he was entering his home in Columbus, Ohio. Goodson’s family stated that he was returning home from a dentist appointment, holding a Subway sandwich, his face mask, and his keys, when he was shot.

Two days later, the Columbus Police Department made a statement alleging that James Meade, the deputy responsible for Goodson’s death, saw a man believed to be Goodson with a gun while driving. Meade then approached Goodson after he exited his car and walked home, where he was shot.

Hours after the shooting, the US Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio, Peter Tobin, confirmed that Goodson was not the fugitive they were searching for. However, Tobin also added that he believed that the shooting was justified, claiming that Goodson was shot after he refused to drop his “weapon.”

Yet another Black man murdered by the police.

DEMAND JUSTICE.

Reblog if you’re a little internet friend who finds this funny

CALL TO ACTION: Black urban farmer Jeffery Webb has been repeatedly harassed in his town, and as a result both his livelihood and life are at risk. We need to be supporting black farmers now more than ever, as key members of the community providing an essential service to it!

Since Tumblr hates links, I’ll reblog this post with the gofundme link. I’ve also attached an image of his farms Facebook page - even if you can’t donate, give them support. Let the town know there’s eyes on them, and let the Webb’s know that they are seen and supported.
