i love when large dogs are picked up and they’re so absolutely confused as to how this could happen that they just sorta
I found another
Heterosexual relationship culture is so alien to me and I don’t know if it’s the fact I’m not cishet or the fact I’m autistic but I hear so many things that make me go “Am I insane or are they?”
There’s a lot of hate on widowers and I saw a woman say “You cannot compete with a dead woman.” which is perhaps a reasonable statement to say if he’s constantly comparing you to his dead partner but that wasn’t what the post was about. And I realized “Oh my God, these people genuinely feel like they’re constantly in competition with their spouse’s exes and the ex being dead makes them feel insecure that they cannot best her.”
There’s also been an uptick in the ‘men and women cannot be ‘just’ friends’ rhetoric which I feel like is extremely dangerous and reflects the rise of fascism and sexism. Some of these stories of women feeling threatened by their husband’s female best friend have some merit and others are like “I feel angry that my husband still talks to the girl he grew up next door to and she and her wife are invited to family gatherings and included in family photos sometimes. Am I right to be suspicious?” No. No you’re not. I cannot imagine being you and living with that high level of stress and paranoia and constant torment and jealousy about your husband having a positive relationship with anyone who isn’t you.
okay look i know this isn't relevant to this post past the second paragraph but. here's the thing. the facts of the case are as follows:
1) I am widowed. my Beloved Wife of Blessed Memory(tm) died in 2019
2) I got together with my current partner about 18 months later
3) when I am committing acts of Foolishness my current partner loves to gesture at the sky to my dead wife, like "do you see this shit, my liege" and regularly says to me things like "[wife's name] was right about this" when my Foolishness inevitably comes back to bite me in the ass
4) this happens. all the time
more importantly:
5) my current partner is on tumblr
6) they love to incessantly send me posts
WHICH MEANS:
7) they just sent me this post with this commentary:
ALT8) they really, really are ganging up on me with her. god help us if there's an afterlife and those two ever actually meet. "eternal rest" my ass, i will never know peace again
tiktok and twitter and instagram are evil for all the obvious reasons but one thing that really pisses me off is how impossible is it to find ANYTHING that wasnt posted like 72 hours ago or less. one of the things I love about tumblr is how easy it is to go through a blog's archive and even filter by specific dates, post format, and tags to find something you posted years ago and even the blog search function works marginally better than it used to. on those other sites if you remember something that was posted years ago you will never find it again
statements like "It's wrong to masturbate about a person without their consent" and "It's wrong to do something that quietly arouses you while you are in public even if no one can see it" show that a person's understanding of morality basically involves magical thinking. like I wrote this post on the toilet. That's not the same thing as me literally shitting on you
Playing porn on full volume without headphones on the train: that's like 12 layers of wrong starting with you are playing any video on full volume without headphones on the train the fact thats it's porn just adds to the rudeness
Reading a pornographic story on your phone quietly and feeling vaguely aroused: idgaf
Thinking about stuff that makes you feel aroused: how tf would I know unless you tell me? I don't care but I don't want to hear about it
Seeing your fetish in the wild and getting a bit squirmy and turned on: again I'm not going to know unless you tell me. I don't care! Just text your friend about it like the rest of us
As long as you aren't irritating me I don't give a shit what you're doing or thinking about or how aroused you are
Just don't like, masturbate or watch porn videos on the bus where people can see and hear it. And my objection to that is not that it's horny it's that it's objectively rude
I would also get annoyed at someone picking their nose and flicking the boogies about or playing non porn videos loudly on the bus

#yknow theres this video that is blowing up in brazil youtube now called 'adultização'#it's a great video that exposes how social media sexualizes children for profit#at one point the author of the video interviews a child psychologist who says that#'children who grow up on the internet have no clue what's private and what's public'#'these are things that we're taught'#all this pearl clutching around sex and porn that's been going on around lately exposes exactly this I think#people have no idea where the line between public and private lies anymore
This is an idea I will be chewing on. I find it compelling, that the greatest abuses of kids wrt to the internet is not via exposure to inappropriately 'adult' material, but the dissolution of their boundaries and boundary-setting skills. Think there is something to that.
no one is coming to Save you but there are probably people coming to Help you and that rocks. embrace it
Give Lilly Wachowski Her 10 Fucking Million Dollars To Make A Movie What The Fuck Is Wrong With You You Stupid Cunts Like Hello She Made The Matrix Are You Dumb? Do You Not Like Good Shit?
When people bitch and moan that conservative comedians are getting “cancelled” I want to grab them by the throat and scream at them that the Director of The Matrix One of The Most Successful Action Movies Of All Time can’t get funds for another movie because she’s transgender.
