feel like this needs to be brought back
The fast food industry has had 50+ years of labor exploitation. The time is now to compensate the workers, not the CEOs.
FYI: The burger chain is Shake Shack.
I never get tired of reposting this. Every quote you see above are actual texts from the Bible itself. These are just a few examples of the gruesome stuff your pastor never tells you about.
I’m obsessed with this. New fave post on tumblr.
Well, but periods are a big deal
Well, so are trans women
and intersex women
If having periods were so important, then post-menopausal women would no longer qualify as women, either.
I’ll just let that sit there and fester like the turd of an argument it is.
AnonymousThe extremes in which people take their social justice, for sure. For example, did you see that post about Locks of Love I reblogged last night? That post was 100% lacking in logic, with no sources, all for the sake of persecuting a company that they thought was bad. Why did they feel a need to make that post? Because they need someone to hate. Tumblr is an environment where if you aren’t actively fighting against something, you’re evil, which pushes people to persecute anything that even has a slight flaw, and blow everything out of proportion. Make a slightly ignorant comment, perhaps out of ACTUAL ignorance? Your blog is gone. And not from tumblr deleting it, from the thousands of people who will send disgusting asks until they’re run off the site, even if the comment was misunderstood, taken out of context, or as ive even seen, faked, by people who hate that blogger. There is no reasoning with the mass. Tumblr has devolved into what is actually an incredibly unhealthy mentality that people are “all good” or “all bad” but never in between, never a mix, and no one is ever safe, because tumblr will never find someone who is “all good” and if you enjoy someone who they have deemed “all bad” (which is everyone, eventually) like a musician or actor, you are also now “all bad.”
There’s also the fact that everyone has a different experience on tumblr, but everyone talks like their personal experience should account for the experience of everyone. For example, people with a certain disability telling people to STOP DOING A THING while other people with the same disability then have to fight to correct the damage done because, no, you don’t have to stop doing the thing, actually. Take scopophobia, for example. A while ago someone made a post saying that ANY imagine where someone is looking at you, even an animal, or an anime character, should be tagged scopophobia. Suddenly, every image where you could even see someone’s eyes was tagged, and people who had actual scopophobia had to spend months trying to be like “no, please stop doing this, we literally can’t even see anything on our dash anymore because now our tumblr savior is picking up things that AREN’T EVEN SCOPOPHOBIA RELATED” while others still insisted that was the way to be. Because everyone is different, and generally segmented into groups of differing opinions, there is literally no way to assure that you present yourself as “all good” to tumblr, because what may be “all good” to one group, is “all bad” to the next. It’s an unwinnable situation.
Not only that, but tumblr actively encourages self-care, which is great, but many posts take it too far. “If you don’t feel up to going to school today, don’t! You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone” was a REAL SENTENCE, IN A REAL POST, THAT I HAVE SEEN. Also “everything should be free, nothing should cost money!” these posts are made by pre-teens who lack a fundamental understanding about how society and human structure works, even back in the days before money, bartering existed. These posts are incredibly detrimental to pre-teens on this website who are going to get into the real world and get their asses kicked because they think everyone should cater to them, and are also complete bullshit and incredibly insulting to everyone who has come before them and lived with mental illness, like me, and my mother, and my grandmother, who recognized that while self-care is important, just because life is hard for you doesn’t mean you get to sit on your ass and do nothing, you have to keep going and work just like everyone else (I am not grouping physical disability into this however).
So yeah, toxic as hell and detrimental to kids who think this is how the world works.
I feel like I have been waiting for this post all my life
This is exactly how I feel about Tumblr at least 75% of the time. I love the fact that Tumblr takes social justice issues seriously. I love the fact that Tumblr has been a source of news and information for me (thought it is not always reliable.) and that it has inspired me to educate myself and to always be open to new opinions and ideals.
But guys, this stuff needs to stop.
I love tumblr, I do… but yeah, we do shoot ourselves in the foot a lot.
Can I also bring up the time when people were yelling that box trolls was transphobic because the villain cross dressed to sneak into high society parties and a lot of actually trans people were saying that it’s not transphobic? Because by that logic, pokemon should be really transphobic with the amount of times the villains, team rocket, cross dresses.
every day of my life i laugh about sonic maurice hedgehog
So that’s what people are talking about when they say “smh”…
