“this filter will show you if your teeth are yellow” “this filter will show you if your nose is perfect” “this filter will show you if your face is symmetrical” “this filter will show you if your lips are big” how about if we all blew up our phones forever
Someone left something kinda hostile in the tags on one of my posts, not even necessarily directed at me, but when I told them it was a little harsh they freaked out at me for “combing through every single reblog to find every single note.”
So apparently some people still aren’t aware that all tags are now public on all posts. It’s been that way almost a year, guys. Everybody who can see a post can see all of the tags everyone has left on it, and which usernames left them, by clicking the same icon that shows all other notes and responses.
(I sure hope there aren’t also tumblr couples who still think the tagging system is a quasi-private channel for sharing their kinkiness.)
i have less than zero problem with content warnings but if you’re so concerned about upsetting someone that you have to use every possible permutation of words to make sure you hit a blacklist you can just not reblog a post that has the word “pussy” in it
I’m fully prepared to get roasted for this take but I think more people should watch Adam Ruins Everything. Not only to learn from its facts (95% of which are “capitalism is behind like every problem in the world” and there’s also an entire episode that argues for police abolition), but to learn from its rhetorical style too. One of the only things strong enough to overpower people’s kneejerk reaction to being told they’re wrong is the allure of learning unintuitive fun facts and being right about something that most people are misinformed about
My conservative parents love Adam Ruins Everything. They’ll willingly sit there for half an hour and be told about the cruelty inherent in the prison system because it’s presented in the same way as like, trivia videos. We absolutely have something to learn from that
they also PROVIDE THEIR SOURCES. there are entire episodes they’ve done where they just call themselves out for getting things “wrong”. sometimes the data has changed, sometimes a study is updated. but they go through and make damn sure they’re right. they’re so transparent about why what they’re presenting is factual. in an age where “anti intellectualism” and anti journalism is rampant, this is very important.
