Self-care is great, but the truth is, it only goes so far.

If you ever need a quick cure for the disease of American individualism, pick up an item - any essential item in your house (food, clothing, medicine, etc.) and consider all of the labor it took to make this one item. Not just creating the item, but creating the raw materials to make the item, gathering them in one place, creating all the equipment necessary to manufacture the materials, shipping equipment to gather them, and then making the item itself. Think about the hours of labor, the many skills and many hands that went into making this one singular item, so that you could have it in your house to eat or to wear or to use. How long would it take you, as one person, to not only learn the necessary skills to grow and gather the raw materials and make the equipment, but to also then make this individual item? And what if it's a recurring item that you need daily, like food or medicine or clean water?

Now pick up another kind of item.

Sherlock Holmes, despite being one of the most adapted characters in media, is almost always characterized differently than in the source material. Despite having a habit of unnerving people with his deductions, and his distaste for the police force, Sherlock Holmes is canonically good at reassuring people, gets along amicably with clients, and has an affectionate relationship with Watson. However, he is almost always adapted to be extremely stoic and unable to interact with people in a regular fashion, as is a common trope with genius characters. Whether being smart but socially inept is a caricature of Savant Syndrome or a result of an effort to create flaw in a character whose skills were not balanced out with much deficit, it is clear that Sherlock Holmes has been the subject of much transformation in the public consciousness, straying from the envisioning of Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle. Is this modified personality better, creating a more well-rounded and interesting character? Or, does it instead stereotype and boil down the traits that, left alone, made Sherlock Holmes the quintessential star of detective fiction, restorting to trite and digestible cliché? In this essay I will

Merry: the world is wrong on a deeply fundamental level unrelated to the status of its truthfulness or the nature of its individual elements.

Renko: the world is incorrect, we could fix society if we just explained things properly

Sumireko, ruining her sleep schedule: Reimu is my favorite Touhou character, she's just so [wildly incorrect assessment of Reimu, who is this actual person she knows in real life] [is somehow the most well-adjusted member of the Hifuu Club]

when you and your friends are joking about how there's going to be a mattel cinematic universe now after barbie was so successful only to realize that's exactly what has already been in the works for the last few years

note: blumhouse is thankfully no longer attached to this one

I hope all people who had to be the Harley Quinn to someone's "omg I'm literally the joker" find their Poison Ivy

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.

My classics professor said "we live in a society" word for word (English is not her first language) today, and also mentioned having a crush on a lotr character. She may be one of the best teachers I have ever had.

What if they were cowboys and what if they kissed......
