• Having rarepairs that won't have any people reacting to them is a good opportunity to teach my mind that its fine to have no engagement - i say through my teeth - this will teach me not to expect people commenting on my stuff and paying attention and teach me to enjoy things just for myself- as im howling and running into the walls

  • Dr. Doofenshmirtz: At last, my Poverty-inator is complete! With one press of this button, I will delete all wealth from the current richest person in the world, which will mean that those in power will finally let me conquer the ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA! And maybe some of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I've always wanted a house on Macki-

    [Perry, sans hat, doobidoobidoowa's into view]

    Doof: A platypus

    [Perry does nothing]

    Doof: Sorry, I just... you know, I was expecting someone. I thought he'd be here by now.

    [Perry walks toward the Poverty-inator]

    Doof: Would you like a meringue while we wait? I'm sure he'll be-

    [Perry begins rapidly pressing the big red button]

    Doof: Woah, woah, hold on there.

    [Perry has impoverished 100 of the world's richest people and continues to press the button, all while holding his wall-eyed stare]

    Doof: Okay... [sighs and sits down] I'm sure he'll be here eventually.

  • This is so real. Perry would 100% support this innator. But he wouldn't want to give Doof the wrong idea so he wouldn't wear his hat - and Doof would have no idea that the nemesis he's been waiting for has been here all long - and is in fact gladly helping his mission to poverty-ize the richest people in the world.

  • thinking about “you haven’t met all the people who will love you” and like!!! you also haven’t found all the things that will make you happy!!!! there will always be new authors and musicians and artists whose work you will one day discover and love!!!! there will always be new hobbies and skills for you to learn and feel fulfilled by!!! there will always be new things around the corner that will bring sudden and unexpected happiness!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I was asked on Twitter whether I agree with the notion of Bruce Wayne's parenting being stigmatized in the way the parenting of single mothers is stigmatized in society, and I thought it'd be productive to post this here too. ( therefore please excuse the twitter-styled paragraphs )

    Bruce Wayne’s parenting is not demonized in the same way single mothers’ parenting is, but it is demonized through a gendered, sanist lens that assumes traumatized men (especially fathers) are incapable of nurturing, emotional connection, or ethical care.

  • the other day i saw a tiktok of a woman talking about how her hyper-militant abusive parents would sometimes punish her by “taking away her name” and referring to her as a prisoner number. genuinely terrible stuff, obviously. but i skimmed the comments and. listen. i truly DO NOT mean to dunk too hard on this person, like they could be a kid or something, but.

    A screenshot of a TikTok comment that says "This is really insane??? Like if you read Guardians of Ga’Hoole (I was a weird kid), giving prisoners numbers instead of names was used to take their identity away and make them compliant. This is like really really bad” A filter has been added to the screenshot to make it appear to be underwater.ALT

    just. breathtaking. imagine if your primary reference for the concept of the un-personing of prisoners was (check notes) a book series about owls.

  • This is why it's important to Include stuff like this in fiction, especially ya fiction. It can be a lot of sheltered and/or indoctrinated children, in the case of a lot of rural "Christians", first introduction to these types of concepts in a way they can understand.


    I don't think there's anything weird or shameful about it. Knowledge is knowledge, regardless of where it came from.

  • I was once listening to one of the ten billion animorphs podcasts out there, with two hosts, one who'd read Animorphs as a kid and one who was reading it for the first time as an adult. For those who don't know, Animorphs is a war story in which a handful of children have to secretly hold off an alien invasion until the "good" aliens arrive to save Earth. It starts off with fairly clear-cut Bad Species of aliens and Good Species of aliens but as the series goes on it becomes clear that there is no such thing as a good, clean or glorious war, that a clean Good Side and a clean Bad Side is usually propoganda, that heroism is a matter of circumstance and that war will chew up and spit out even the victorious; there are no winners in war, just the side that lost less.

    It's a lot, for books aimed at eleven year olds who want to read about kids turning into fun animals.

    On the podcast, the two (American) hosts happened to get onto the topic of the post-9/11 Iraq War and their reactions to it. They were both children at the time and as such could not be expected to have particularly nuanced views of US military policy. The person who hadn't read Animorphs was unsurprised by the declaration of war; that's what you did. Someone attacks America, America goes to war. That's how a country protects itself, through military revenge. The Animorphs fan, about the same age, had been devastated and against the war from the start. War was a Big Deal and, while sometimes unavoidable, should be a last resort; a lot of people were going to die, and a lot more were going to get hurt, and no matter how the war shook out it was still going to be horrible. They attributed this perspective, of course, to the series that had taught them about the horrors endemic to war in an engaging way at such a young age -- to Animorphs.

    That's what kid fiction is for.

  • Most likely scenario is that the person is a kid. It's not like kids are so incredibly rare it's unlikely to encounter one.

    We should never make fun of people for not knowing things, because that teaches them not to ask questions.

    never forget when saruman literally told gandalf "you've been smoking too much weed bro"

  • "You're smoking too much weed," says the guy who got addicted to manosphere podcasts on his orb and started a fascist militia with a side hobby of deliberate environmental destruction. Started cutting down trees to own the woke elves.

  • This is fascism, by the way. This is what fascists believe when it comes to art. https://t.co/6xI1TcxPaq  — dr. hazel 🐝 (@HazelMonforton) August 29, 2023ALT

    “Never Forget” until the new target is those that they disagree with.

    Edit: please watch this video essay by Jacob Geller. It speaks on really important points as to how “bad art” is a weapon of fascism and how it reflects the Degenerate Art Exhibition(s)

  • i’ll jump at any chance to share that video i love it.
