The idea of “but everyone knows that” needs to stop.

I saw a post about someone chiding Millennials for not knowing about JKRowlings transphobia, and asking how it is at all possible that people can exist in the world and the internet and, you know, not know.

Which I mean, I get. It is so present in so many of my online spaces that it seems astounding that someone could simply be ignorant! It feels impossible!

But let me tell you a story:

I went on a girls trip with a bunch of friends. All of us are rather incredibly liberal and all of us are incredibly online.

One girl would not stop talking about Harry Potter.

At one point, another girl asked her why she was ok with supporting it, and she had no real clue that JK Rowling was at all transphobic. She had heard that she likes to support Lesbian causes and thought “oh ok cool!” And that was it. She was AGOG with the news and rather horrified.

I must once again emphasize that she was an incredibly online person. She’s a foodie and a restaurant blogger.

Later in the trip we were picking restaurants and I suggested one I found on Google, and she gasped at me. Actually gasped, asking how I could ever be okay picking that one.

The shock must’ve been on my face, because she then told me all of the shitty things that restaurateur does. He abuses staff. Underpays them. Fires them on a whim. Is known for being one of the worst people to his employees in the entire restaurant business on this coast.

And she was so shocked I had never heard of this. Because in her mind, I was just as online as her. And in her online world, EVERYONE knew about this guy.

So I think the moral of this story is: always approach the other person with some empathy. Even online people, even people you think MUST know about how bad people are, may not have heard. It may truly be just them being on a different sphere of the internet than you.

So be gentle, be kind when letting people know they might not have heard about the cancellation of XYZ person. Don’t assume that everyone knows all the same info as you.

By all means, let them know so they can make informed decisions, but being kind will go a lot further than attacking them for some info they might not know yet.

The ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, is "what the fuck is 6 7"

The computer, sadly, misinterpreted the space as multiplication.

Truly the best possible outcome this post could've had

I am once again begging you to get your hands on physical media and/or save your fave stuff OFFLINE.

It sounds like he's taking the piss, but he's being serious. Old TVs were... fuzzier isn't quite the right word, but it's close. They naturally warp their graphics in a very specific way. So game designers would make pixel art with is in mind.

This is one of the most obvious cases:

I know which one of those I'd rather look at.

happy new years everyone

hot take maybe but i think that talking about the right to remote work matters less to me as a like, thing everyone should be able to do because they can and its better because not all jobs allow for that, and more because a boss should not be able to control anything that doesnt impact your ability to do your job.

if youre a forklift operator then yes they can tell you to be in the forklift where stuff needs lifting but if you do excel and emails you can take them where you want. i dont think this is any different from dress codes (uniform fine hair colour and tattoo restrictions fuck off) or making demands on your behaviour (if im not so hungover i cant do my job on wednesday its not my boss' business where i was on tuesday night).

i am performing labour for money not signing away my control over my life to some power tripping dickhead with a fetish for the harshest lighting on earth

Start to finish Yorkie commission :)

hey for NO REASON I would like to remind everyone that rule number 1 of activism and protesting is to shut your fucking mouth.

If I thought there was no difference between what Trump is doing and what Harris would have done, I think I’d shoot myself in the head.

She spent her whole damn campaign, all 100 days of it, warning you that Trump would find any excuse to send the national guard into our cities and clamp down on protests, that he would weaponize ICE to instigate violence, that he would continue his destructive and bizarre path when it came to just taking shit from other countries with no regard for international law.

If you heard both of those leaders on the campaign trial and thought “there’s literally no difference whatsoever in what this country could look like for the next 4 years under either of these administrations” I would have ended it already, for real.

Call me a Kamala dickrider all you want, I just don’t think Denmark would be warning our nation that if we invaded Greenland then NATO will disband, you know what I mean?

I just don’t think that I would be concerned about that right now.

Idk maybe I am insane for thinking Harris wouldn’t have staffed her administration with a bunch of people who seem hellbent on toppling multiple foreign governments in the span of a week.

Maybe I’m crazy for thinking Harris wasn’t going to warn Cuba and Colombia that “they’re next”. It simply isn’t something I thought I would have to concern myself with.

I've had this headcanon rattling around in my head for a while

Idk I think they are silly
