god ok a few years back i had this friend who was like. an influencer. like a legitimate instagram influencer. paid promotions from makeup companies type. and we were talking and she was like wait how many tumblr followers do you have and i was like uhhhhhh 4k and she was like ooooo you should start doing advertisements on there get yourself some money. and i just quietly sat with the realization that we were two very, very different people
my audience of ex-theater kids and ex-ex-supernatural fans seeing me try to sell them the CUTEST makeup brushes or whatever
internet culture/memes/entertainment could not be possible without black people carrying the hell out of it…imagine the internet without them as content creators…ellen would be the funniest person on tik tok probably…disgusting.
Hey, y’all know you can just call someone “self centered” instead of calling them a narcissist, right?? Like, I understand there’s a colloquial meaning for the term, but that doesn’t magically mean you’re not adding to the stigma people with npd have to deal with when you use it that way. If you actually care about ableism against cluster b personality disorders, I suggest you use “self centered” instead.
Same goes for the term “empathy”. I’m begging y’all to just say “compassion” instead. Whether or not you have empathy is not a choice, but whether or not you have compassion is.
A fun word that still has bite and has a more accurate meaning is
Poll: if your mom remarries when you’re 26 years old is that guy still your stepdad or is he just your mom’s husband.
The poll winner seems to be “depends on whether you like him” which is super valid.
Mine watches fox news so “mom’s husband” it is!
My family has a great way of distinguishing between a new spouse you like and new spouse you disdain!
Your mom/aunt/grandma/etc remarries and they are actually a cool person, you use their first name. So if you were to introduce them they would be: Aunt Jane and Bob.
If your mom/aunt/grandma/etc remarries and they are a fuckwad you introduce them as: this is Aunt Jane and her second husband. The implication being that they are very replaceable and that we’re all just waiting for her to wise up to the situation and serve you divorce papers, she did it once, she can do it again.
MAGNIFICENT
Alright, but what if my mom on her third marriage found a decent man, but my mother herself is shitty
