What’s the best cartoon for children? How about “none of them”? Animation is literally cinema and cannot be appreciated by minors.
Stop me if you've heard this one before Girls like us are rotten to the core (Let's go!)

Americans are so fucking Oedipalized, the whole election culture war was just them debating whether you should prefer Mommy or Daddy. They kept saying it so explicitly too, like JD Vance talking about how Trump is daddy and was coming home to put mommy in her place (???) and the constant Blue MAGA posting about Momala or whatever
Theodor Adorno, Minima Moralia:
Fascism was the absolute sensation: in a statement at the time of the first pogroms, Goebbels boasted that at least the National Socialists were not boring. In the Third Reich the abstract horror of news and rumour was enjoyed as the only stimulus sufficient to incite a momentary glow in the weakened sensorium of the masses. Without the almost irresistible force of the craving for headlines, in which the strangled heart convulsively sought a primeval world, the unspeakable could not have been endured by the spectators or even by the perpetrators. In the course of the war, even news of calamity was finally given full publicity in Germany, and the slow military collapse was not hushed up. Concepts like sadism and masochism no longer suffice. In the mass-society of technical dissemination they are mediated by sensationalism, by comet-like, remote, ultimate newness. It overwhelms a public writhing under shock and oblivious of who has suffered the outrage, itself or others. Compared to its stimulus-value, the content of the shock becomes really irrelevant, as it was ideally in its invocation by poets; it is even possible that the horror savoured by Poe and Baudelaire, when realized by dictators, loses its quality as sensation, burns out. The violent rescuing of all qualities in the new was devoid of quality. Everything can, as the new, divested of itself, become pleasure...
the use of homeswitcher samples on soundcloud is reaching critical mass I fear
ppl are always saying that women are "allowed to cry" more than men are but I don't really think being expected to is the same as being "allowed" to without judgement, because generally the social judgement is still extremely present and imo not made much better by it being a "typical behavior from the likes of you" flavor of contempt
Dariacore is such a wacky ass genre because you'll listen to the most fire track you've heard in your entire life, to a point where you are genuinely shocked somebody could make something so close to perfection using pre-existing vocals, only to look at the album cover and it's some shit like this. 10/10 genre would listen again

tumblr ocd advice is kind of astounding bc youll see posts like "OCD LIFE HACK!!!!! if you have [obsession] try [compulsion]" and people are passing it around like its genuine advice and not literally the worst possible thing you could do in that scenario
Walter wide was many things but it is extremely funny how he neglected his own flesh and blood teenage son in order to be an even worse father to a wholly different guy
anyways look how cute he is

ultimately i'm sure there's trans girls out there who do have a genuinely unhealthy and paranoid absolutist view of the world, i can grant that. but if you're going to call yourself a transfeminist i think you have to respond to those girls with compassion for whatever has traumatised them into those maladaptive worldviews instead of epically dunking on them for Content
You're right. There is nothing funny about civilization.
#the amount of people who genuinely don't understand that signed languages are in fact languages and not a coded form of spoken language is staggering
sign language & linguistics resource!
linguist Adam Schembri has been updating his amazing resource, What All Linguists Should Know (about sign languages). It's a really fantastic repository of info, including some really great basics that are great for students and non-linguists as well. Please share widely! I'll also copy a few links from his page, just as highlights:
What is sign language? (Schembri, 2013) https://theconversation.com/explainer-what-is-sign-language-21453
How many sign languages are there? (Glottolog) https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/sign1238 (short answer: at least 220)
How are sign languages acquired? (Lillo-Martin & Henner, 2021) https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-linguistics-043020-092357
I recommend that anyone interested in or studying linguistics at any level (from hobbyist to professional!) ask themselves (and colleagues, instructors, students, etc), frequently: wait - is that true about languages in general, or just spoken languages? Have we done any research about how this works in other modalities? Keep asking the question!
It’s literally insane how badly the Democrats got outplayed. Braindead party. Unsalvageable fucking morons
imagine if when people mentioned the netherlands people listed every colony, genocide, mass murder and warcrime the netherlands committed. that's kinda how people talk about china but tbh we should start doing that with european countries instead
