deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao
not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

Saw news that two more billionaires are going to try to view the wreckage of the Titanic in a submarine again.
I don't have anything funny to say; I just wish people would leave the wreckage alone. What happened last year never should have happened. And exploration of the Titanic wreckage shouldn't be left in the hands of these ultra rich people who only care about flaunting how much money they have. It's a mass grave site (even if there are likely no more remains) and should be treated with that respect accordingly.
I think we learned what we needed to learn about the Titanic with the studies Dr. Robert Ballard did, and even with James Cameron's explorations, and I just think the wreckage should just be left alone from this point- especially after what happened last year.

I can't believe I have to say this, but yes I would rather some paintings were destroyed than we all died in the climate crisis. Also, the painting in question was behind glass and is literally fine. That is all.
If you have any extremely tedious urges to express your opinions about how environmental groups are protesting wrong, and how they should protest, then I invite you to do that. Just go do it. No need to start infighting when we are literally watching our own doom hurtling towards us.

I’m still thinking about that “is OSHA regulations Cop Behavior” post. Like. You know who thinks regulations are for losers? People who build submersibles out of logitech gamepads and rejected carbon fibre. People who trust starlink as their only surface lifeline.
Do you wanna be like the fine film on the floor of the Atlantic that was once a billionaire? Is that the hill you’re really gonna die on?
We have an expression in my field- “Regulations Are Written In Blood”
People don’t have fucking safety standards as a power trip, we have them because somewhere in the past, NOT having those regulations killed or maimed someone.
A lot of laws out there are bullshit- safety regulations sure as fuck aren’t. I have the literal scars to prove it.
