Saw this label while looking for whitening toothpaste at target today and I just want to say that as an aspiring species of chemist I LOVE this and I think all companies should do this on their labels to eradicate all of the fears about “ooky spooky chemicals” that Facebook moms and politicians like to cry about (and it would also make it harder to hide the ones that are actually harmful). “Don’t use it if you can’t pronounce it!” Take an organic chemistry class. Most of the time it has a purpose in order for the product to work, you’ll be okay I promise.

forgive me if you've been asked this before or if its annoying, but how did you learn to use colored pencils like that? your art is so special to me.

ty :) I took an art class for a few years where our teacher had us buy prismacolor pencils as one of the art supplies and had us use them kinda like paints, pressing down hard right away and blending the colors together. its not how youre supposed to use them she was just trying to teach us to use color and ig this was more to the point. I picked them up again years after i stopped going to that class just bc they were there and i wanted to play around w them a bit and ended up actually enjoying it when doing it on my own terms lol

people might be like "you waste like 4 hours a day scrolling tumblr and sometimes tiktok, why do you hate reels so much?"

well ya see, reels™™™ from "meta™" are a collection of completely uncultivated mindless gibberish content infested with rage bait ghouls that's constantly being thrust into my face on two platforms where I have worked for years to cultivate my experiences. On instagram I followed only artists I liked in order to see their art. On facebook I wanted to see posts from people I actually know, and nothing else. Meta hates that because I'm not CONSUMING enough CONTENT. Not clicking enough Links. Not interacting with enough brandsss.

In barges Reels with its endless stream of drivel about random bullshit like funny horse videos and celebrity drama. Do I watch videos like that on tiktok? Absolutely, and the crucial difference is that I went to tiktok and intentionally cultivated an algorithm that would give me content that I wanted to see when and where I wanted to see it. I wasn't tricked into going down a braindead video funnel by clickbait. I continuously and consciously cultivate my tiktok algorithm with a reasonable degree of success. Meanwhile Reels is over on the sidelines sobbing, begging me to click just ONE VIDEO PLEASE GODS JUST CLICK ONE! I refuse to be suckered in to watching some hour long rage bait video about ice cream in a toilet like 45 million other idiots. Like my aunt from Indiana who had to let the world know that she knows not to eat ice cream out of a toilet.

I wish I could set Reels™ on fire and feed it to wild dogs.

he’s a facebook mom to a weird egg first, and a silly little guy who wants to destroy the world second

he just wants to make a perfect world guys (replace every person and pokemon with a togepi)

Sooo...

Twitter? Dumpster fire.

Reddit? Dumpster fire.

DeviantART? Dumpster fire.

YouTube? Dumpster fire.

Imgur? Dumpster fire.

Facebook? Dumpster fire.

Tumblr? Dumpster fire.

At what point do we acknowledge that capitalism has effectively turned the whole internet into an overflowing molten landfill? And anything that hasn't become a dumpster fire YET inevitably will as soon as money takes priority over community? Whether it's compromising to make enough money to keep a site alive, or the owners being greedy little shits and just wanting more for the sake of having more.

More money. More money. More money. Even when it's enough, it's not enough. Fuck these corporations and their "growth at any cost" mentality. You know what else grows at any cost and eventually destroys the systems that brought it to life in the first place?

Literal fucking cancer.

it actually makes me sick to see people share the BDS boycott list but continue to support companies on the list lmao

one of my mutuals just made 3 tweets in a row about getting mcdonalds when a month ago they were making a thread of helpful information, posting the bds list, and tweeting the watermelon emoji

like do you actually give a fuck about whats happening or are you only virtue signaling for retweets? this shit is so fucking mind numbing like im so pissed off and i know im directing my anger at something small retrospectively but how are you going to be a hypocrite in this situation how are you going to pretend to care how are you going to ignore the simple things we’ve been asked to do i want to just scream

when the bare minimum is not supporting corrupt brands, and self proclaimed leftists can’t even do that, how is anything going to change. am i going to be angry for the rest of my life

while I understand what this person is saying….the difference in how their partners are treated makes no sense to me lmao. I have seen the other partners (some who might argue are just as if not more private than josh’s) be included in fic??? with tabs kept on all of them to the point where fans even notice *instagram comments* left from them???? it’s so funny that only josh gets this kind of treatment when every other relationship (hannah doesn’t count) is obsessed over by fans…..

we don’t know for sure what jenny was to danny and yet why do I still see people casually mentioning her and posting about what she’s up to when her socials were private too while she was with him????? she was clearly very private and yet……?? people obsessed over talking about them…..

respecting their privacies should be happening, but respect all of them? the same? 😭 josh’s partner is treated like a curse if he’s mentioned which is pretty respectful ig, but why are there tiktoks of other partners along to the sound of “she’s getting that dick” like it’s just SO so fucking weird to me that this fandom does not respect women no matter what and has also treated josh so oddly when he came out 😭

rant below

people will be like "I wish I could stay home and nap all the time like you" and like

no you don't it's literal hell. Not to suck my own dick but I'm such an ambitious person and I have drive and determination AND I can't do anything with it because I have "too sleepy syndrome"

Someone told me that sounds like an ideal problem to have and I wanted to punch them in the face. Do you understand what it means? That I can't stand up for more than an hour? Or even sit up for very long sometimes? Sure, I can push myself and just do it. But then I'll get sick and feverish with migraines and joint pain and I'll be even more useless than if I'd been allowed to pace myself.

For reference, the average level of exhaustion in a CFS patient is the equivalent of a normal person who's stayed up for 72 hours straight.

I can't work. I didn't finish my degree. I can't clean my room. I can't clean my shower. I can't drive. If it's not an activity I can do in bed, I've had to give it up. Its lucky that I like writing and digital art. (Roller-skating, biking, swimming, and hiking used to be my favorites, but suuuure I'm not actually sick Im just faking cause I hate exercise)

Every single day is exactly the same over and over and over and it's melting my brain. And there are people who still have the audacity to fight me when I call this syndrome a disability (including my own therapist)

I am grieving today. I had so many dreams.

A very sincere f- u to the person on YouTube who uploaded a video with the title something like Sleep Token unmasked - their true identities AND PUT A FUCKING PICTURE OF ONE OF THEM (i think i was iii because i kind of know what their real hair looks like) AS A THUMBNAIL

I was just looking for a music video, but apparently that's not safe anymore either🥲 Look, if you do upload something like this, don't put something like this as thumbnail. I obviously don't know if it was just to grab attention and if it was actually one of them and I looked away so fast I didn't get the details but my brain still decided to shelve this as a core memory and won't let me forget what I saw🫣

Most fans, me included, don't want to know their true identity and the band wants to remain anonymous as well. Please respect that

childless millennial couple at d*sneyland

“We live in a pro-natalist society that hurts child free people :((((“

Going back to work three days after birth isn’t pro-natalist. Being paid less than your childless peers isn’t pro-natalist. Being mistreated by subpar medical experts isn’t pro-natalist. Being pressured to abort when your circumstances aren’t perfect isn’t pro-natalist. Having an increased risk of homicide during pregnancy as caused by an SO or other loved ones isn’t pro-natalist. Being denied safe and effective treatment options and care providers for pregnancy and birth isn’t pro-natalist. Having your infertility symptoms be mismanaged by an overbloated artificial fertility industry isn’t pro-natalist. Being shamed for having more than 2-3 kids (or for having any at all!) is not pro-natalist. Not having great options for pharmaceuticals because of lack of research into perinatal health isn’t pro-natalist. Lacking sufficient support for lactation isn’t pro-natalist.

Being annoyed by other people judging you for remaining childless sucks and I support people minding their damn business, but I know things that suck worse. Don’t gaslight me about the bullshit society has put me through because I chose to procreate.

(This post is US centric. I understand that childless women receive far worse treatment in other parts of the world. This is about child free women in the US trying to act like they are placed beneath mistreated mothers).

Thinking about all the times my elders have told me stories about struggling to make their start in the last century. When they talked about being poor the most common thing you heard was ‘we ate nothing but beans.’ I used to be impressed with that grindset but it just occurred to me… weren’t they eating beans… in a house? Or at least an affordable apartment? And then of course after 2-5 years their bean diet paid off and they got to be comfortably lower middle class for the next 5 decades. They probably even got promoted, which is a thing that doesn’t happen anymore because companies have realized it’s cheaper to treat their workers like disposable machine parts. I’ve been working for a decade—taking on as much work as people will give me—and I’m making the same wage I made almost 10 years ago. After 2 years I had to spend a little more on my diet because cheap food was making me sick. After 5 years housing became totally unaffordable. It doesn’t matter how hard I work—nobody who’ll hire me can or will pay me a livable wage. If I hadn’t lucked in to work-camper jobs I’d’ve been on the street. If I didn’t do freelance work after hours I’d have zero savings. “But AHA! You have pets!” Most of the old guys doing this 40-50 years ago had one job, a non-working spouse, and kids, but go on, tell me that after 10 years of working—of being a goddamn exemplary college educated worker a thousand times over—I should be lucky to still live alone in a rented room and have nothing but beans.

A full time job should pay enough to afford a living. Rent extortion of the working class has to be curtailed. This country has the wealth and resources to support us all, it’s just being hoarded.

My afraid-of-romance ass has just been asked by another regular customer for my number and the stupid thing is that again I do think this guy is kinda cute and I really probably should say yes
