I wonder if people say this about people standing in line at a movie theater. Or buying gas to go on a camping trip. Or picking up ice cream at the grocery store. Or buying a paperback book.

You have to let people pay for entertainment without being shitty about it. You have to let people spend money on little things that bring them joy without trying to excoriate them with guilt over not using their entertainment money to feed a child or buy someone else's medicine.

Do you know why? Because otherwise the burn out and become incapable of helping anyone even when they want to.

Anyway, if you pull this shit on one of my posts I'm blocking you.

guilt and shame aren't effective motivators to drive justice, mercy, or mutual aid. someone who is ashamed or guilty, someone who is scrambling to address their own inner badness, is acting from a desire to feel less awful. therefore their actions will not be thoughtful and effective at addressing anyone else's pain but their own.

in causing more pain to others, to motivate them to help other others, you're just kind of making the amount of pain in the world denser and more complex.

so like. don't do that.

Welcome to Tumblr.

evilmario666

We don’t say “retweet” or “share”. We say “reblog”.

We don’t say “the power’s out”. We say “the Tumbeasts are causing a ruckus again”.

We don’t say “gay”. We say “yaoi”. 

We don’t say “brave”. We say “Dauntless”. 

We don’t say “Halloween”. We say “Spoopy Day”. 

We don’t remember 9/11. We remember the Sherlock series finale.

We don’t say “unalive”. We say “kill yourself”. 

We don’t use “tone indicators”. We use Danganronpa sprites.

We don’t say “farm”. We say “cottagecore”.

We don’t say “he’s so hot”. We say “MY OVARIES!” or “MY PROSTATE!”. 

We don’t say “windmill”. We say “giant” or “dragon”.

I'm generally okay with the tumblr checkmarks for eight dollars because, like. websites need money to continue being websites. I like it here! I don't want tumblr to cease to exist! Tumblr selling stupid little trinkets is preferable to tumblr becoming the bloated carcass that is every other website in order to stay afloat.

there's a slider between user-funded and ad-funded and the further you are toward ad-funded the worse the website experience gets

the fact we’re responsible for getting doctors to “lower their defenses” in order to literally just do their jobs is ✨INFURIATING✨
